Creating Context Node for Binding from Used Component

[GopalNair]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to be as clear as I can in this question. So, please excuse the length of the question, and request patient perusal.

   I am creating a custom UI Component which displays list of jobs running in the system. To do this, I have defined usage for component : :GS_JOBMONITOR, and successfully embedded the MainView from GS_JOBMONITOR component into the custom component window, and I was able to display the assignment block.

The list of jobs running in the system is stored in JOBS Context node in GS_JOBMONITOR component, as shown in the following screen shot:

My goal is to create a Model Context Node in my custom component, and in the component controller method : WD_USAGE_INITIALIZE, perform context node binding between GS_JOBMONITOR.JOBS context node, and my custom controller context node.  When reviewing the BASE_ENTITY_NAME of JOBS context node, we see that the underlying BOL Entity name is : "JMJob", as seen in following screen shot:

To perform context node binding, we will need the source and target context nodes to be of similar nature. Hence, I tried to create a context node in my custom component controller with the same underlying BOL Entity type, "JMJob". This promptly gives me the following error:

So, the question is, how do I identity the right BOL Entity to use for creating Model Context node in my custom component, so that I can perform context node binding from a used component?

Best Regards,

Gopal Nair.

Hello Gopal,

You can use component set "JOBMON" also. JOBMON is component set for component JOBMON and we can find context node JMJob there under genil_model_browser.

Thanks,
