How to preselect a Work Center in the SAP Solution Manager

[Frank_Buchholz]

You can start the SAP Solution Manager Work Centers in your browser using the transaction SM_WORKCENTER. (Transaction SOLMAN_WORKCENTER starts the same function within the SAPGUI.) It's a nice idea to add this transaction to your Easy Access Menu favorites in the SAPGUI. However, if you have access to several work centers, it's useful to add several links in various folders to access specific work centers directly.

Instead of adding the transaction you can add the Web Dynpro Application AGS_WORKCENTER to the Easy Access Menu.

This application offers parameters to define the entry point.

If you omit these parameters you will see all work centers and the first one is active.

Setting the parameter WORKCENTER defines which work center will be displayed. All others are hidden.

Setting the parameter PRESELECTED_WORKCENTER defines which work center will be active. All others are visible as well.

Unfortunately, there is no value help for the work center available.

You can inspect the role menu of the workcenter roles SAP_SMWORK_* You find the code of a workcenter if you show the details of the first link within the role menu. This link point to the application AGS_WORKCENTER and shows the corresponding code.

Here is the list of work centers you can choose:

Work Center	Work Center Text	Order	Roles
AGS_CONTROL_CENTER	My Home	1	SAP_SMWORK_MYHOME
AGS_WORK_BP_ITERF_MON	Business Process Operations	2	SAP_SMWORK_BPM

Hello Frank,

the parameter description helps a lot - thx.

There is one missing for Solman 7. 1 Business Process Operation (new). Would appreciate if it could get added to the list, too.

Hello Mr. Buchholz,

even though your post is already a few years old, I would be interested to know if you are aware of a similar functionality for Solution Manager 7.2 and the associated Fiori Launchpad?
