SAP C4C SDK: Is there a possibility to set some field at context level or another global level.

[gayathri_ramachandran]

Hello Experts,

Is there a possibility to set some field at context level or something like that. So we can refer to it.

Reason - I have an extension field to a Standard BO (Activity). But since the standard screen doesn't have an inport I couldn't set value to it.

Was wondering if I can set it in the some global level and refer that in the screen.

This may be silly, but as I'm new to C4C, I thought to better check.

Any thoughts.....

Thanks

Gayathri

Hi Gayathri,

You can declare a Transient field at Activity BO which you can access at the screen and refer it in some action/event.

For more details about transient field please refer 1608 studio guide http://help.sap.com/saphelpiis_studio_1608/studio_od_1608.pdf in section 7.2.2.20.

Thanks

Thanks for your response Saurabh,

Is this possible, I need the QN number in the TI screen shared to the Appointment QC screen.

Thanks

Hi Gayathri,

What BO is the TI and where is QN on the TI Bo stored?

Hi Richie,

Thanks for your response,

QN is a custom BO and QN Id is the ID of that Custom BO.

Activities is a facet in the QN TI.

Hope this helps...

Thanks

Not sure but check if you can do this with Activity-AfterModify event.

Thanks Saurabh,

No, I don't think. Because I actually need to retrieve the QN ID from the prev context. Since the context has changed, I cannot retrieve.

If I have the QN ID, then rest of the fields I can retrieve and load on After-Modify event

Thanks

Hi Gayathri,

The only data you can pass the the QC is the Account unfortunately.

You have 2 options:

1. Create a dummy Custom Activity BO with a QC that handles the creation of your appointment. You can then create whatever inports you want to pass the data you need.

2. Store the data in a dummy Context BO and retrieve this data on the after-modify of the Activity.

Hope this helps.

Richie.

Thank you,
