ULR iview with dynamic parameter

[Former Member]

Hi to all,
I read a lot of post on this theme but I don't to make what I want.

I have this BEx web template URL:
http://hostname:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_ad...
and I created a URL iView to open this from external site.

I define all values into URL iView and this works fine with this URL:
http://hostname:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/iViews/Embed_iView&NavMode=3...

Now I want to make dynamic the parameter BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING to pass the period of my interest.

On help portal it's described to use this configuration:
URL parameter: BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING;
Value: null
Type: String
Personalize: Read/Write
Name: PERIOD;
but after this configuration the ULR
http://hostname:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/iViews/Embed_iView&NavMode=3...
doesn't work.

How do I have to make the correct configuration?

Thanks in advance,
Giampaolo

Hello Giampaolo,

For BEX application it is not recommanded to use URL iView's but BEX iViews.

The reason is that this iView is specific for that use and it also contains the dynamic parameter you wish to use.

You can look for BEX iView in the help.sap.com.

One more reason not to use URL iView and use BEX iView is the session management- once you enter the application a session for the user is created. if you use the BEX template iView, once you leave the application a termination request to the BEX will be sent and this will terminate the session which will result in better performance in the backend. The URL iView does not support this functionality, and therefore is not recommanded for that use.

I set the property
com.sap.portal.reserved.iview.ParamList = *
but this has no effect.
