Hi karunakar,

Once you activate the webgui service in SICF code,

go to your view, in that linktourl ui element

use the below text in reference property of link to url

http://xxxxxxxxxxx/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=se38

where xxxxxx is host name. domain , for example rb3ni82.server.bosch.com:3865

Hope this solves

Hi Karunakar,

Goto SICF.
Select the path as : /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
right click on webgui and click on "test" to execute the servies.it will open the sap screen in web browser.
**NOTE : if it gives an error you need to do some setting Reply if you want the steps for setting.**

create LINK to URL or LINK TO ACTION according to requirement.

use URL as   URL = 'http://<url>:portno/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~TRANSACTION=SE38'. // 

"Note : you can find this url in ur WEBDYNPRO Application Properies
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
ld_url = FINAL_URL.

CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
EXPORTING URL = url
RECEIVING WINDOW = lo_window.

lo_window->open( ).

Also check this...

Cheers,

Kris.

Hi,

*what is the need of giving the path here

and who is going to give the path as default....?*

The SICF path corresponds to the service of ITS(Internet Transaction Server) Webgui. This path is a standard one and do not change from system to system. ITS links the web server to application server. Using Webgui or SAP GUI for HTML, all the ABAP transactions can be accessed in browser. When we are trying to launch ABAP transaction from Web Dynpro application which is a web application, we need to specify a URL so that the transaction we need can be launched. For this purpose we use ITS service. Suppose we want to launch transaction SE38, then the URL we need to specify as

'/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~Transaction=SE38'.

Hope this helps!

Hi Karunkar,

its not about setting in SICF, once you create the componenet , automatically corresponding application will be created in SICF transaction.

So just pass the path I have mentioned in above post in reference property of URL.

For your knowledge, once you transport the component to production , you have to activate the corresponding service in SICF.by default once you transport it will be in deactive mode.

Hi,

I guess this WEBGUI service is present in SICF by default (standard) or may be its created when we publish the complete service for WEBGUI Internet Service. But the service could be deactivated. So you would have to check if that is active and activate it if its not active. And this path would be same in whichever component you want to use.

So the path /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui remains the same. You have to concatenate ?~transaction=SE38 or ?~transaction=SE11 to that path depending on your requirement.

Hope this is clear!

thanks srilatha & sanasrinivas for your posts...

my question is clear now i.e once we have to give the path in sicf and we hav to activate it.

and later we can directlly call the transaction by using the browser..

http://xxxxxxxxxxx/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction= required tcode

here xxxxxx is the host name.

hi karunkar,

yes, You can use that url directly in browser, but when you use directly in browser it will ask server logon details. But no one will use that.

ITS (Internet Transaction Server) is the interface between the Internet and R/3. and It is a runtime engine that links Web server to the R/3 Application server.

To call transaction code through Webdynpro application, we need to activate those services.

HI Sri,

I am able to reach this and able to launch se38 but I have a requirement where I want to launch a specific report and not a transaction. Is there any way to launch/execute a specific report using a url . If not what is the standard approach to such scenario ?

Regards,

Amit
