Help with creating a link in web UI navigation bar that executes a function

[Former Member]

I have a function I would like to be executed when clicked on a link in the navigation bar (CRM WebUI). How can I do this?

Dear Genia Sh,

There is link “•Almost Everything About Transaction Launcher” in see also part of KBA 1877395，
you can make a reference and create transaction launcher to launch your function.

Thank you. I've read the document which was very helpful. However, I'm a bit confused. When creating a BOR where do I insert the code I want to be executed?

Dear Genia Sh,

You can read from Page 23 "configure transaction launcher" to customize BOR Transaction launcher, if you have a z report, you can assign a transaction code, then you can assign transaction code in this transaction launcher customizing.

Thank you again for responding!

I have a problem with the configure transaction launcher.

When I enter the BOR Object Type I get the message "No connections to *name of logical system*"

How can I fix this?

Hi，

Please make sure you have followed Page 17- 23 in PDF to
create and test BOR object and check logical systems and ITS URL successfully.

Best regards,

Bruce

What is the function in detail?

Is it purely a link? or a SPA GUI transaction to another system? or is it a CRM component/view? Or a web dynpro for ABAP program? or anything else?

There are different kind of way to add a link into navigation bar on CRM WebUI.

If it is just a link, you can use a URL transaction launcher .

If it is a SAPGUI transaction, you can use a BOR transaction launcher.

If it is CRM component/view, need to create a logics link id, etc.

So please provide your function details.

I have an ABAP program which I want to be executed when clicking a link in the navigation bar. The program generates some downloadable files.

Hi Genia Sh,

Then you need to create a transaction for the ABAP program, and then use transaction launcher to execute the transaction as suggested by Bruce.
