Unable to see List View of child entity in the parent object page || ABAP RAP

[basantmhr]

Hi All,

I am working on ABAP RAP to expose a managed scenario wherein we have an Employee root entity and an Employment child entity. For the managed scenario, I developed the persistence table, CDS View, and everything.

Now while previewing the Fiori UI, these are the screen I get.

Here the issue is with the following screen as I am not getting any ListView for EmploymentInfo that will allow me to create any entries.

I have created metadata extension for both the CDS view and have also included EmploymentInfo entity in the target of the Employee metadata.

Below are the Codes

1.Metadata Extension for Employee

//Metadata Extension for Employee
@Metadata.layer: #CORE
@UI: {
  headerInfo: { typeName: 'Employee',
                typeNamePlural: 'Employees',
                title: { type: #STANDARD, label: 'Employee', value: 'EmployeeID' } },
  presentationVariant: [{ sortOrder: [{ by: 'EmployeeID', direction:  #DESC }] }] }
annotate view ZC_RAP_E2E_AEMP with
{
  @UI.facet: [ { id:              'Employee',
                 purpose:         #STANDARD,
                 type:            #IDENTIFICATION_REFERENCE,
                 label:           'Employee Info',
                 position:        10 }
                 ,{ id:              'Employment',
                 purpose:         #STANDARD,
                 type:            #LINEITEM_REFERENCE,
                 label:           'Employment Info',
                 position:        20,
                 targetElement:   '_Employment'}]
  @UI:{ identification: [{ position: 1, label: 'EmployeeUUID' }] }
  EmployeeUUID;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 10 }  ],
          identification: [ { position: 10 } ],
          selectionField: [ { position: 10 } ] }
  EmployeeID;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 20 }  ],
         identification: [ { position: 20 } ],
         selectionField: [ { position: 20 } ] }
  FirstName;=
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 30 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 30 } ]}
  LastName;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 40 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 40 }  ]}
  DateOfBirth;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 50 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 50 } ] }
  Active;
  @UI.hidden: true
  LastChangedAt;
  @UI.hidden: true
  LocalLastChangedAt;
}

2. Metadata extension for employment

@Metadata.layer: #CORE
@UI: {
  headerInfo: { typeName: 'Employment',
                typeNamePlural: 'Employments',
                title: { type: #STANDARD, label: 'Employment', value: 'EmploymentUUID' } } }
annotate view ZC_RAP_E2E_AEMPL with
{
  @UI.facet: [{ id:              'Employment',
                 purpose:         #STANDARD,
                 type:            #IDENTIFICATION_REFERENCE,
                 label:           'Employment Info',
                 position:        10 } ]
  @UI:{ identification: [{ position: 1, label: 'EmploymentUUID' }] }
  EmploymentUUID;
  @UI.hidden: true
  EmployeeUUID;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 20 }  ],
          identification: [ { position: 20 } ] }
  PositionId;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 30 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 30 } ]}
  EmployeePosition;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 40 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 40 } ]}
  DateOfJoining;
  @UI: {  lineItem:       [ { position: 50 } ],
          identification: [ { position: 50 } ] }
  salary;
  @UI.hidden: true
  LocalLastChangedAt;
}

3. Behavior Definition

managed; //implementation in class zbp_i_rap_e2e_aemp unique;
define behavior for ZI_RAP_E2E_AEMP alias Employee
persistent table zrap_e2e_aemp
lock master
//authorization master ( instance )
etag master LocalLastChangedAt
{ association _Employment { create; }
  create;
  update;
  delete;
  field ( numbering : managed, readonly ) EmployeeUUID;
  field ( readonly ) active;
  field ( mandatory ) firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth;
  mapping for ZRAP_E2E_AEMP
  {
    EmployeeUUID = emp_uuid;
    EmployeeID = empid;
    FirstName = first_name;
    LastName = last_name;
    DateOfBirth = dob;
    Active = active;
    LastChangedAt = last_changed_at;
    LocalLastChangedAt = local_last_changed_at;
  }
}
define behavior for ZI_RAP_E2E_AEMPL alias Employment
persistent table zrap_e2e_aempl
lock dependent by _Employee
//authorization dependent by _Employee
etag master LocalLastChangedAt
{
  association _Employee;
  update;
  delete;
  field ( numbering : managed, readonly ) EmploymentUUID;
  field ( readonly ) EmployeeUUID;
  mapping for zrap_e2e_aempl
  {
    EmploymentUUID = employment_uuid;
    EmployeeUUID = emp_uuid;
    PositionId = position_id;
    EmployeePosition = e_position;
    ActiveDateOfJoining = active_doj;
    Salary = salary;
    LocalLastChangedAt = local_last_changed_at;
  }
}

So Basically, I have Employee and Employment entity, where Employee is the root entity and Employment is the child and the composition is via EmployeeUUID.

Hi Basant,

Have you specified 'redirected to' statement to your parent entity association in your child entity Projection View?

Thanks,

Aman

Thanks for the reply and yes, I have specified the "redirected to" statement.
