Pass a value from one component to another in BSP_WD_CMPWB

[ajos]

Hi all,

I have to filter values on partner search help( Component BP_HEAD_SEARCH ) based on some values entered in ITSM screen(component A). Comp A exposes BTOrder via component interface. My idea was to create a component usage in BP_HEAD_SEARCH and create a context BTOrder in component controller and then map the values in WD_USAGE_INITIALIZE method.

However in comp B, I cannot create BTOrder context using BOL entity BTOrder because it does not come in the F4 drop down. May be because comp B uses a different model. The question I have is how to create a context for BTOrder in comp B?

I have explored GDC but it will not work for my case because the user can keep changing this value during a single session.

Any other approaches are welcome.

PS: The two components that I am dealing are all standard ones.
