Search help on web enabled workflow forms

Mon Feb 12 18:03:08 EST 2001

Thanx Jocelyn,

I however do not have HTML business commands `searchhelp` in my template. I
generated with SAP Studio a simple template (screen 150), business style,
with two fields with searchhelp:

`include(~service="system", ~language="", ~theme="dm",
~name="TemplateLibraryDHTML.html")`
`SAP_TopInclude()`
<html>
  <head>
    `SAP_PageTitle()`
    `SAP_Stylesheet()`
    `SAP_JavaScript()`
  </head>
  <body `SAP_BodyAttributes()` onload="`SAP_OnloadJavaScript()`">
    `SAP_TemplateHeader()`
    `SAP_BodyContentBegin()`
    `SAP_FormBegin()`
      <p>
      `SAP_Field("COUNTRY015001","COUNTRY015001", DynproLabelWidth="100")`
      <p>
      `SAP_Field("CUSTOMER015002","CUSTOMER015002", DynproLabelWidth="100")`
      <p>
      `SAP_Button("START")`
      `SAP_Button("CANCEL")`
    `SAP_FormEnd()`
    `SAP_BodyContentEnd()`
  </body>
</html>

The searchhelp.html and searchhelpdhtml.html files are in place, but for
some reason the search help isn't shown when the field is selected. I
already tried re-installing the ITS. The strange thing is that the normal
webGui works perfect, only the generated webform's search help isn't
working.

It drives me crazy.....any suggestions?

  Hi Sander,
  There are two main parts to the search help.

  One is the link to the search help on the current HTML templates you are
using.  You should see an HTML business command `searchhelp` near the input
field in the HTML source code.

  The other part is the search help template itself.  You should find these
in the ITS Agate templates directory under the folder SYSTEM - they are
called searchhelp.html
  and searchhelpdhtml.html.   The system templates should have been updated
as part of the ITS upgrade.
  If you have upgraded your ITS but not changed the IAC package, it's
possible that something's not right in the system folder, or that there is
some problem in the code
  in the searchhelp templates.

  Suggest you start by confirming the search help templates are in your
system folder.  If the files or the system folder itself are missing, you
may need to do
  a reinstall of the ITS.  If this is so, I suggest you install a minimally
sized, new and separate virtual ITS without any IAC packages at all, and
then check what's in the system folder of the new virtual ITS.

  If the files are there and there's nothing obviously wrong suggest you
report it in to OSS.   Make sure you tell them the exact build number of the
ITS, not just
  the release version.

    Dear all,

    We are using Workflow web forms for requesting new customers, vendors
and materials in an European SAP environment. For this we use "Business"
styled web forms generated by WEB Studio, based on the web enabled
transaction of the workflow. We use an 4.6C SAP system, a Web Studio 4.6D
and an 4.6C ITS. Everything worked fine (most importantly the search help on
the fields, which is a new feature in 4.6, was available).

    However, after upgrading to ITS 4.6D (with the 4.6C IAC package) the
search help on the fields dissapeared! I looked in OSS but couldn't find any
notes on this. Does anybody have experience in this subject?

    Would be great if anybody could help us, we are running towards our
deadline.......
