Hello Praveena,

It is an executable program? If so check the below for reference and incorporate the same from custom report.

Since he asked for a transaction, telling him how to run executable files from web dynpro is unlikely to help. Or at least is more complicated than necessary.

So are you actually wanting to check user identification with facial recognition everytime before executing any transaction, standard or not, and not only during initial login into SAP as could be done with some SSO tool?

What are the technical background requirements already defined of this project?

[matt]

What do you mean "given any transaction code"? Do you want your facial recognition to run each time a transaction is executed?

Or are you just wanting a single transaction to launch the facial recognition? Does the external application need to give the SAP system feedback - like "this person is not recognised" or what?

More information please.

SAP transaction that you define in SE93 calls an ABAP program. If your facial recognition app is written in ABAP you can call it directly from a transaction defined in SE93. Otherwise write a little ABAP wrapper that will call your external app, then call the wrapper from a transaction.

incase your app is external app, you may call your facial recognition application by define a external command in SM69 (if your app can run from command), then develope a report to call the external command, there are alot of example out there.

You can execute external application with many tools from external command to activex integration, which tool did you already consider?
