HCM Processes and Forms : My Journey around "User Events"

$

User Events - My recent favorite topic in HCM Processes and Forms. I got a very good idea about the "User Events" from Christopher Solomon's blog - http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/blog/2008/06/30/hcm-processes-forms-gotchas-bugs-and-other-curiosities

After understanding the way "User Events" work, I slowly understood it's restriction too

 

My wish about User Events

 

The way I expected the User Events to work is when the user event is triggered, the appropriate event can be gracefully handled in the INITIALIZE and DO_OPERATIONS methods of the Generic Service class. Like instead of executing the entire source code in these methods for every User event and Standard events(CHECK and SUBMIT) triggered, I should have an option of executing part of the source code conditionally based on the triggered User event.

Reality

 

The User Events doesn't really work as I wish ! Both these generic service's methods(IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~INITIALIZE and IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS) doesn't really get the User Event that triggered the event

Workaround solution


The only way I could realize my above "wish" is with this workaround solution ! The solution is passing the "User Event" to these Generic Service methods magically from the HRASR framework. The BADI Implementation for the Generic Service is called in the method IF_HRASR00_MAPPER~DO_OPERATIONS in the class CL_HRASR00_GENSERV_MAPPER -

Create a pre-exit to this method to pass the parameter "EVENT" to Generic Service class(You can use multiple ways to pass this event i.e. enhancing the Interface IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE or using IMPORT/EXPORT PARAMETER or using static class method) -

In the Generic Service Class method you can now handle the events gracefully -

 

method IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS.
...

* Extract the event

  IF GV_EVENT = 'EVENT1'.

      * Handle Event1 gracefully

      ...

  ELSEIF GV_EVENT = 'CHECK'.

      * Handle all custom validations using generic service

      ...

  ENDIF.

  ...
endmethod.

 

Ideal Expectation


Instead of this work around solution, Ideally I would expect SAP to add in one single line of code(along with enhancing the parameter interface for Generic service methods - INITIALIZE and DO_OPERATIONS to accept EVENT)  in the method IF_HRASR00_MAPPER~DO_OPERATIONS in the class CL_HRASR00_GENSERV_MAPPER -

 

TRY.
CALL BADI a_gs_badi_basic->do_operations
     
EXPORTING
           special_fields    
= special_fields
           service_operations
= service_operations
           no_auth_check     
= no_auth_check
           message_handler   
= gs_message_handler

            event              = event
        CHANGING
           help_datasets     
= help_datasets
           service_datasets  
= service_datasets_do_operations
           ui_attributes     
= loc_ui_attributes.
    
CATCH
           cx_badi              
"No BADI implementation exist
           cx_sy_dyn_call_error
. "Catch dynamic call errors
ENDTRY.
