Using Child Business Components as the Base Business Component for Find or Search Categories


This feature allows you to drilldown to a view that is not displaying the search object buscomp as primary. Therefore, it is possible to base a search index or find category on a business component used as the child applet for the drilldown view. For example, a search category could be based on Service Request Attachments and the drilldown view, be the Service Request attachment view. In this case, the following logic would be applied when the result is drilled into:

  1. Retrieve the business object of the drilldown view defined for the find or search category.
  2. Determine the business component hierarchy from the business object. Find the unique ID (for example, SR ID) for the parent buscomp (Service Request) on the drilldown view by pulling from the child business component upon which the search or find category is based (Service Request Attachment).
  3. Set the search spec using that unique ID for that parent business component and drilldown to that view.
