Close Portal Browser Window?

[obadiah_king]

I have a custom R/3 transaction that I am calling from the portal using the com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.Transaction iview. The transaction is being called in it's own popup window using a URL like this - http://<server>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.Transaction?Syst....

My question would be is it possible to close the whole browser window after the transaction is done, right now I can end the SAP session, but not close the Browser window.

Thanks,

Obadiah

I assume that by SSF you are referring to the SAP Shortcut File methodology, I have tried this an it seems to have problems in IE 9. IE 9 will always prompt to Open or Save the SAP Shortcut File (tx.sap), and you cannot set the default action.

and I'm afreid you're right.... It's an unresolved issue with IE9

Hi Obadiah,

After you launch a transaction iView all the communication is done between the back-end application and the browser, without any portal involvement. Therefor the is no way (from potal point of view) to tell when you quit the application.

However, in your case I would go for a simple work around - Start the application in SSF (SAP Shortcut File) mode. It will simply launch the transaction directly in you SAP GUI, without any browser. It's easily configureable in that iView's property editor, under "Content - Transaction" category -> see "SAP GUI type".
