Customize CANCEL button on ESS WD-ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

Currently clicking the EXIT or CANCEL button on all ESS applications is opening a new window. We want the user to go back to initial screen while staying on the same window within the portal. Could anyone pls advise how to do this? I dont want to use the Workprotect mode as it is user specific.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Aditya.

Hello,

The work protect mode can be set at a global level for the portal as a whole. I believe that it is also possible to stop users from choosing their own work protect mode settings.

Does that not work for your situation?

Hope this helps,

Hi Aditya,

Currently all the ESS/ MSS applications are FPM based web dynpro applications . So if you need to to modify any of the functionality, even button actions, you need to modify the FPM based web dynpro code. Most of the buttons(like review/ Exit, etc) have the standard FPM based events triggered when ever they are clicked.

One has to dig into the code and understand the flow of control in FPM. You can try to find out which event is being triggered when user clicks on the exit button, and modify code accordingly.

Thanks,

Sonali.
