ADT Link to run TCODE

[tobiashey]

Hi,

I was just using the function module SWN_CREATE_SHORTCUT to create links to start a transaction with some prefilled fields. While testing the created files, the transaction always started in the SAP GUI and asked for my SAP login most times as well, as I had only logged in in eclipse. With that came the problem that some clicks would open a development object which i would than have to copy to eclipse.

Now my question is if one of these two things is currently possible and how:

• Can I tell the created shortcut to start the TCODE in eclipse
• Can I create or manually construct a ADT link that has the same functionality as the shortcut file

Best regards,

Tobias

Dear Tobias,

SAPgui links and ADT links are two different things. ADT links cater the development use-case where you want to reference a development object (like a class, a data element, a transcation etc.). They always open in ADT. Aa ADT link to a transaction does open the *definition* of the transaction but does not *start* it. ADT links currently do not support to start transaction or reports, ...
