• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: POWL - Internal Messages used in generic personal object work list

• Message number: 046

• Message text: Component details not available for POPUP_COMP in feeder implementation

What causes this issue?

This is due to one of the following:
No implementation exists for the GET_UI_PERIPHERALS method of the
IF_POWL_FEEDER_EXT interface class (interface extension for POWL
feeders) or
Component details have not been set for the POPUP_COMP attribute in the
GET_UI_PERIPHERALS feeder implementation method of the
IF_POWL_FEEDER_EXT interface.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

To correct this error:
Implement the IF_POWL_FEEDER_EXT interface in your feeder class and
provide the implementation for the GET_UI_PERIPHERALS method of this
interface.
Implementation of method GET_UI_PERIPHERALS should return the Web Dynpro
component name corresponding to the dialog box. This needs to be set in
the exporting parameter E_UI_COMP of type POWL_NAMEVALUE_TTY (where the
key is the constant POPUP_COMP and the value is the name of the Web
Dynpro component that implements the Web Dynpro interface POW
L_POPUP_EDITOR_COMP_IF).
