implemented the method <EX>DISPLAY_PDF_DOCUMENT </>in Business Add-In
(BAdI) <EX>USMD_UI_EVENT</> and that method returns the PDF document to
be displayed. However, since you either have not implemented the BAdI or
<EX>DISPLAY_PDF_DOCUMENT</> does not return the PDF document, the print
preview function cannot be executed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2229 - Print preview not possible: BAdI USMD_UI_EVENT not implemented ?

  The SAP error message USMD2229 indicates that the print preview functionality is not available because the Business Add-In (BAdI) USMD_UI_EVENT has not been implemented. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to access the print preview feature for master data.
  Cause:
  The root cause of this error is that the system is trying to execute a print preview operation, but the necessary BAdI implementation for handling UI events related to print preview is missing. The BAdI USMD_UI_EVENT is designed to allow custom logic to be executed during specific UI events, including print preview.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to implement the BAdI USMD_UI_EVENT. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction code SE18 (BAdI Definition) and enter the name USMD_UI_EVENT.
  Check if there are any existing implementations. If not, you will need to create one.
  
  
  
  Create a New Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction code SE19 (BAdI Implementation).
  Click on "Create" and enter a name for your implementation.
  Implement the necessary methods, particularly those related to the print preview functionality. You may need to refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your development team to understand what logic needs to be included.
  
  
  
  Activate the Implementation:
  
  After coding the necessary logic, activate your implementation.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After implementing and activating the BAdI, test the print preview functionality again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP MDG for more details on the BAdI and its methods.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional guidance or updates related to this BAdI or the print preview functionality.
  Debugging: If you encounter issues during implementation, consider using the debugger to trace the execution flow and identify where the logic may need to be adjusted.
  
  By implementing the BAdI correctly, you should be able to resolve the error and enable the print preview functionality in your SAP MDG environment.
