Changing Default values for Installed Basis Search screen in CRM

This was a complicated request and hopefully will help some of you.

Requirement: By Default Installed Basis search screen displays the Search For as “Header Using Header Data”. In our case this default was to be changed to “Header Using Partner Data”.

After struggling a lot with debugging and some code changes found the following simple solution.

Solution:

Change the Repository.XML file. 

1. Repository.xml file changes:

FROM:

<NavigationalLink name="TO_HEADERSEARCH">
<Source outboundPlugRef="headersearch" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/IBS    earchViewSet"/>
<Targets>
<Target inboundPlugRef="default" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderByHeader"/>
<Target inboundPlugRef="default" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderResultList"/>
</Targets>
</NavigationalLink>

TO:

<NavigationalLink name="TO_HEADERSEARCH">
<Source outboundPlugRef="headersearch" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/IBS  earchViewSet"/>
<Targets>
<Target inboundPlugRef="default" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderByPartner"/>
<Target inboundPlugRef="default" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderResultList"/>
</Targets>
</NavigationalLink>

FROM:

</NavigationalLink>
<NavigationalLink name="SEARCH_HEAD_f4">
<Source outboundPlugRef="SEARCH_HEAD_F4" viewRef="MainWindow"/>
<Targets>
<Target inboundPlugRef="DEFAULT" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderByHeader"/>
<Target inboundPlugRef="DEFAULT" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderResultList"/>
</Targets>
</NavigationalLink>

TO:

</NavigationalLink>
<NavigationalLink name="SEARCH_HEAD_f4">
<Source outboundPlugRef="SEARCH_HEAD_F4" viewRef="MainWindow"/>
<Targets>
<Target inboundPlugRef="DEFAULT" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderByPartner"/>
<Target inboundPlugRef="DEFAULT" viewRef="CRMCMP_IBSEARCH/HeaderResultList"/>
</Targets>
</NavigationalLink>

Output: Defaults changed to “Header Using Partner Data”.
