Hi Jemin,
Thanks for writing a nice article on customization of work manager application. I am referring to your post at Syclo Customization Extension-First Steps.
I had few questions related to extension of existing work order object. I am trying to show few newly added fields on the work manager application front end. we have made changes in the ECC already.
1) the extension class that you have written, says:
public class Workorder extends SAPObject
Here, I am just confirming that this is not an "Extension" of existing standard workorder class (com.syclo.sap.component.workorder.object)
So, we are just making a copy of previous workorder class and adding it in a new JAR file under custom namespace.
2) Can you please help me on where I can configure the assignment of factory createObject method so that it will now instantiate the custom class directly? I checked for settings in the eclipse based editor but couldn't find it anywhere. Is it to be done at the ECC side?
I could only find the config panel at the ECC side. so does that mean that we have to put the custom java package name in ECC?
3) when we "Extend" the existing work order class, there might be many more classes which are utilizing the base class. for example, steplets will still refer to the base class.
now, if I have to update my custom fields and transmit them back to ECC, this will require me to change many more steplet classes, am I correct?
Appreciate your input on the same.
