Hi ,
I have created Gateway services . My entity type is created from DDIC structure i..e. all fields in the structure are properties of Entity type.
I have enabled search help for one of the field in the structure . GWPAM give out of box capability of input help if property is having search help (F4) as per document I found in net
The SAP NetWeaver Gateway Productivity Accelerator for Microsoft supports Value Help
automatically out-of-the-box. If the underlying NetWeaver Gateway service collection
contains properties that are value help enabled, the common class ValueHelpData.cs is
then generated by the GWPAM Template Wizard containing methods to fetch the value help
data from the Line-of-Business (LOB) system requested by the user at runtime.
I am unable to enable the input help in excel. Am I missing anything in the services or in GWPAM binding?
Thanks,
Anju
Hi Anju,
I tried to do the same as you suggested but I am not able to get the input help. I have an entity type with a currency field. I created another entity type with just the currency field and both of the entity types have the same field name. I created an association with principal entity as my main entity and dependent entity as the currency one. I then created the association set followed by navigation property for the main entity.
The main entity type I created was by using DDIC structure and I did not check the checkbox for Search help since I want the input help values to come from my the GetEntitySet. Is this not possible?

Nikhil

Hi,
I am facing the same issue.
I have the value helps associated in my structure.
However for the same the f4 is not getting enabled in GWPAM excel.
Could you please help on the same?
Is association must even for a simple F4 to be enabled in GWPAM excel, because if i maintain association then i could see the F4 getting enabled?
Note:
My assumption, according to the help document the F4 will get enabled automatically if the underlying field has the associated value help in the data element.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi Vikram,
I guess there is something wrong with your OData service. If you want to see a working example I would recommend the FlightSample. I just tried with https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com:443/sap/opu/odata/iwfnd/RMTSAMPLEFLIGHT/
When I take the FlightCollection
I can for example see the value help for the Airlines:

Hi Holger,
Thanks for your reply!
I have checked the metadata of the flight service and for all the three fields "Airline", "Date", Flight Number", the corresponding navigational properties have been defined.
That was my question exactly, it is not about having the search help in the underlying data type.
I could see two approaches for having F4 in GWPAM excel.
1. Either we define a navigational property (Cons: every F4 should then be define as a key field)
2. Extend the GWPAM solution using visual studio code.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vikram
