We have a simple type dictionary object which is bound to an input field element. Post our portal upgrade from 7.01 to 7.3, the button icon is no longer visible. The input help can be activated using the F4 key but I am unable to show the icon.
The input field is part of a Table.
Kindly suggest a way with which the button can be made visible again.
Thanks & Regards
We face similar type of issues whenever we do some upgrade/update.
Herein, I would like to suggest the following ways to resolve these issues.
1. It is always advisable to upgrade your system with available SPS (n-1)
e.g. SAP NetWeaver 7.3 Support Package Stack 06*-1 i.e. 05
2. Update the software components with latest patches
e.g. Web Dynpro SCAs (Check the SAP Note#1501448 for Web Dynpro SCAs in NetWeaver 7.3)
3. Raise an OSS message to get recommended solution for your issue and/or search related SAP Notes in the SAP ServiceMarketPlace.
This is just an advisable reply of your query.
Make sure that implicit personalization wasn't used to make the button dissapear.
You can read about implicit personalization in:
Just note that in 04S the implicit personalization is enabled via Ctrl + Right Click and in 7.3 via Right click only.
The text field is visible but the input help button within the text field is missing. It is visible in NWDS in View Editor mode. but at runtime the button is not visible. The end user can only rearrange the table columns using personalization. He is not given any other authorization.
The fields which are not in the table, correctly show the input help button as per the data type bound to the field ie a calculator button for numeric fields or a calendar. The fields which are in table are the only ones where these help buttons are missing.
Any other suggestions
The issue was resolved by setting the property scrollingMode to "none" for the table's parent Transparent Container. The input help button now appears as soon as the cursor enters the input field.
If the scrollingMode is changed to either "auto" or "both", the input help buttons are no longer visible.
