"Add To Browser Favorites" for ABAP Web Dynpro

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In the Portal Environment, the end user has an option to "Add To Browser Favorites". This will trigger the "Add a Favorite" window in the Internet Explorer and the user can save the favorite as needed. Do we have a similar cabapility in ABAP Web Dynpro if the Web Dynpro is not delivered through an SAP Portal?

Thanks in advance for your help.

No. There is no similiar option in the Web Dynpro framework, nor can you access JavaScript in order to interact with the web browser and supply this feature. Browser Favorites can be maintained by the NetWeaver Portal Framework or in the NetWeaver Business Client by the surrounding frame. In the case of the NWBC, it isn't actually browser favorites but a separate set of favorites merged with Easy Access Menu favorites.

Hi Thomas,

I have an issue here. Where users wants to delete the favourites from Web portal.

Is there any option in Web itself to do it ?

Hello John,

I doubt whether WDA provides in-built Favorite feature. But you can easily develop this feature by having your own webdynpro component along with custom DDIC table.
