Adding inbound and outbound plugs to your ABAP WebDynpro
Below are the steps for adding inbound and outbound plugs to your ABAP WebDynpro view.
Step 1
Create new ABAP Web Dynpro component!
Step 2
Create two views within you WDp (VIEW1 & VIEW2)
Step 3
Select the Inbound Plugs tab of the first view and enter a name for your inbound plug (VIEW1_INBOUND)
Step 4
Now select the Outbound Plugs tab of the first view and enter a name for your inbound plug (VIEW1_OUTBOUND)
Step 5
Now do the same for the second view and enter an inbound and outbound plug name
Step 6
Save and active you WDp! Now go to the Window section and embed your views into the window.
Step 7
You should now see your two views and their corresponding plugs within the window section
Step 8
You now need to join your plugs together. To do this simply drag the outboundplug onto the correspoonding inbound plug. i.e. Drag VIEW1_OUTBOUND on VIEW2_INBOUND
Now do the same from view2 to view1 i.e. Drag VIEW2_OUTBOUND on VIEW1_INBOUND
Step 9
You should now have a chain icon on each outbout plug
Step 10
The next stage is to trigger these inbound and outbound plugs from some kind of user interaction. I will now show you how to trigger these plugs from a UI button on each page!
