Badi - Sorter With Kernel Badi and Other Sorting Options

The document discusses how to implement the BADI_SORTER to control the sequence of multiple implementations of a kernel BADI. It provides steps to: 1) Define an enhancement spot with a BADI interface and create 3 implementations of it. 2) Implement the BADI_SORTER and add a subscreen to input sequence numbers for each implementation. 3) Call the BADI_SORTER from the implementation class to sort the implementations based on the defined sequence. 4) Test that the implementations are called in the sorted order as defined through the BADI_SORTER.

Badi_Sorter with Kernel Badi and other

sorting options
Was trying to figure out how to implement BADI_SORTER to guarantee the
implementation sequence for the new kernel BADI. Searched SCN and other blogs and
could not get any information. So decided to do a self help and help others with this
blog.

The intention here is to do a sample test Sorting of Multiple Implementations of a Kernel


BADI. A pre-requisite of knowing Kernel BADI basics is required.

Ok So I have defined a Enhancement Spot ZDEMO_ENH_SPOT.

In the enh spot, a BADI is defined by the name ‘DEMO_BADI‘ with an interface as
shown.

The interface has a WRITE method.

For the above BADI definition, 3 implementation’s are created as shown.


Implementation 1

Badi method Write


Implementation 2

Badi Method write


Implementation 3

Badi Method write


So we are done with 3 active BADI implementations.

SAP doesn’t guarantee the sequence of implementations. However SAP has provided a
BADI called BADI_SORTER to achieve the order sequence.

The BADI has a interface with the following methods. The 3 major ones are marked
below.

The main central method is the SORT_IMPLS where the multiple implementations are
put in the sequence order.

How the sequence order is putforth? A subscreen with a input field takes an integer
value. The BADI_SORTER has a screen enhancement which calls up our subscreen
(with input field for sequence). This additional subscreen is then visible as shown below.
The layer value is nothing but the input order sequence.

Its quite simple. All you have to do is copy an SAP standard program(function group +
screen) to your target and use it.

The function group(Function Modules + Screen) are used to pass the input screen value
to the BADI_SORTER
Ok Implement the BADI – BADI_SORTER.

( The “How to implement BADI” details are not covered here as it is an pre-requisite to
this blog )

During the implementation process, if asked for the below screen, click on Copy sample
class. The Implementation class shall the have the coding of the example
implementation class CL_BADI_SORTER_LAYER.
Save the enhancement implementation at this point.

The main part is here. The screen enhancement.

Copy the Funtion group ENH_BADI_SORTER_SUBSCREENS to our own Function


group. The copy can be done via SE80 or using SE38. I have copied to a Func group
BADI_SORT_2. Hence the main program name is BADI_SORT_2 prefixed by SAPL.
Enter subscreen as 2000.
During the Function group copy process, you can give your custom name to the
Function modules to be copied.
The function module BADI_SORTER_LAYER_GET is used read the input field (layer)
for the BADI_SORTER. Similarly the function module BADI_SORTER_LAYER_SET is
used to set the value to the input field (layer).

Save and activate the Function group.

The use of function modules logic are very similar to a BADI screen logic which is used
to add additional subscreen to an SAP standard screen.

Enter the function group main program below and subscreen as 2000. Save so far
done.
Go to Sort Implementation class and double click on the
IF_BADI_SORTER~PUT_DATA_TO_SCREEN. Call the FM that was created above.

Also for the method IF_BADI_SORTER~GET_DATA_FROM_SCREEN use the FM that


was created above.

Also for change the method IF_BADI_SORTER~SET_LAYER_CHANGEABLE.


Save and Activate the enhancement implementation.

The Sort Implementation is ready. This implementation shall be called when we activate
our DEMO_BADI multiple implementation’s.

Its time to have a quick test and check. Go back to our BADI implementation in change
mode and double click on the implementation and enter a sort integer value.

Before proceeding further, set a break point in the Sort Implementation method
SORT_IMPLS. The debugger will display the sorting order of the 3 implementations at
line 21.
Click Save and Activate. The debugger should stop again.
Click Save and Activate. The debugger should stop at line 21 of SORT_IMPLS if
its set.

During Activation, the implementation sorting’s happen at line no 21. Observe how
sorting takes place in the SORT_IMPLS method.

Let’s do a quick test by calling the BADI in a program.

The results are after sorting are:


Try changing the sort field(layer) in each of the implementations. Pls activate the
implementations after entering a new value and the sorting can be observed via the sort
method SORT_IMPLS.

Hope this was helpful.

Another approach for Sorting implementations is via Filter Type except that this is for
Custom Kernel BADI’s. The reason being

the filter values combinations for these are not enhanceable.

For Custom Kernel BADI, you can something like this to sort the implementation
sequence.

Multiple implementations are created for BADI ZDEMO_BADI_SEQ_FILTER.


The sequence order for these multiple implementations can be achieved by calling Filter
values in the program as shown.

Here the 1st Implementation shall be called. Passing “SECOND” as filter values will
trigger 2nd Implementation.

Hope this was helpful.
