 Enable Paging for List UIBBs

Introduction

SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) is used for embedded Master Data Management (MDM), that is,
centralized, out-of-the-box, domain-specific creation, modification, and distribution of master data with a
focus on SAP Business Suite.

Domain-specific content (data models, user interfaces, workflows) is provided as part of the standard for
several application areas. It is a common requirement from customers to adapt the MDG data models to their
specific needs.

This document explains how-to enable the paging functionality for list UIBBs in order to resolve performance
related issues when using the single object maintenance UIs for accounts (ACCOUNT) and accounts in
company codes (ACCCCDET) or primary cost elements (CELEM), financial reporting structures (FRS) and
related text items (FRSI) or the item hierarchy (FSIH) and related text items (FSIT).

The issues usually occur if there are several hundreds of the dependent entity types (accounts in company
code, primary cost elements, text items) that are all related to one single main entity type (account, financial
reporting structure, or item hierarchy) in your system.

Paging can be enabled for the following lists:

· Accounts in Company Code

o List UIBB: MDGF_0G_FI_ACCCCDETS
o Feeder Class: CL_MDGF_GUIBB_FI_ACCCCDETS
· Primary Cost Elements
o List UIBB: MDGF_0G_FI_ACCOUNT_CELEMS
o Feeder Class: CL_MDGF_GUIBB_FI_ACCT_CELEMS
· Text Items of Financial Reporting Structures
o List UIBB: MDGF_0G_FI_REPORT_ITEMS
o Feeder Class: CL_MDGF_GUIBB_FI_REPORT_ITEMS
· Text Items of Item Hierarchies
o List UIBB: MDGF_0G_CO_REPORT_ITEMS
o Feeder Class: CL_MDGF_GUIBB_CO_REPORT_ITEMS

Prerequisites

It is mandatory that the code corrections provided by SAP Note 2409026 are implemented in your MDG
system. If not, apply the SAP note or the corresponding support package first.

Advantages

· The performance of the related MDG-F user interfaces is improved.

· The system does not always read all records completely. Some details are read only when
accessing the corresponding record's detail page.
· Performance intensive calls to the MDG framework are prevented until the end-user trigger a
corresponding action. As example, it is not checked if a record is changeable until the end-user
clicks the corresponding edit icon. If changes are denied, a corresponding error message is shown to
the end-user.
· If the complete list of entities is switched to edit mode, entities are not added to the change request
automatically. Locking the entities into the change request is only executed for those entities that are
actually changed. The behavior is similar to the common mode when navigating into an edit page
and pushing the edit button for this particular page.

Disadvantages

· The highlight changes / deletions functionality is not supported anymore for the list UIBB. End-users
do still see changed fields when navigating into the edit / details page of the changed entity, of
course.
· The row actions for each entity in the list are always enabled. End-user might get error messages
after clicking one of the actions.
· The direct navigation from "My Change Requests" or "Process Change Requests" into the edit /
details page of a dependent entity type is not supported. Navigation does always show the main
page of the OVP.

Implementation

Option 1) Custom Feeder Class

The above mentioned feeder classes implement method IS_PAGING_ACTIVE. Per default, paging is
defined as inactive.

1. Create a custom feeder class that inherits from the corresponding SAP feeder class.
2. Redefine method IS_PAGING_ACTIVE.
3. Adjust the coding according to your specific needs.
a. You could simply enable paging generally.
b. You could enable paging with respect to the current environment (e.g. a specific business
activity, or change request type, etc.)
c. …
4. Save and activate your feeder class.

Option 2) Enhancement of the SAP Feeder Class

SAP feeder classes support modification-free method enhancements via implicit enhancement spots. You
can use this feature to enhance the default behavior of method IS_PAGING_ACTIVE according to your
needs.

1. Locate the SAP feeder class and its method IS_PAGING_ACTIVE.

2. Enhance the method according to your specific needs.
a. SAP recommends using the implicit enhancement spot at the end of the method after the
default logic.
b. You could simply enable paging generally.
c. You could enable paging with respect to the current environment (e.g. a specific business
activity, or change request type, etc.)
d. …
3. Save and activate your enhancement.

Customize the List UIBB

Paging requires a defined amount of visible rows. The value must not be set to 0.

1. Create a customizing for the list UIBB that shall use paging.
2. Change the attribute “Visible Row Count” according to your specific needs. The value has to be > 0.

3. Ensure that attribute “Scroll Mode” is defined as “Paging”.

4. Optional: Replace SAP Feeder Class
a. If you have implemented Option 1) as above, you need to replace the SAP feeder class with
your custom one.
b. Click button “Feeder Class”.
c. Enter your custom class in the next pop-up.
d. The system automatically takes over the SAP defined feeder class parameters. Changes are
not required.
5. Save your changes.

Result

You have successfully enabled the paging functionality for MDG-F related list UIBBs.
