Calling internet browser from sap

Former Member — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 08:48:15 GMT

Hi All,

As there are different ways of calling internet browser from SAP.

Is it possible to pass the web page parameters through sap.

for e:g: consider any webmail page it will have login id and password.

now my requirement is that can i pass these values from sap and click on some button on sap and it should trigger the internet browser through sap.

Note: Currently i need this requirement to work in SAP 4.6C and with out the use of ITS.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Kishore Yerra.

good

go under properties for your iView and change/ add the following parameter.

- Launch in New Window: Display in external window (parameter=1)

- Window Features: scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,status=no,directories=no,menuebar=no,location=no

After that, bind your iView to your portal role and test it directly (do not use iView preview after changing, in some cases it does not update correctly).

reward point if helpful.

thanks

mrutyun^, you seem to have answered someone else's question.

Kishore, there are some function modules not all of which may be available in 4.6 so you will need to check.

CALL_BROWSER takes a url with the option to open a new window or embed in SAPgui

WS_EXECUTE will let you run a frontend command with parameters, so you could call browser.exe to open the browser.
