Hi Nitish,

in addition to Sunil's answer:

Following parameters are always needed, and have to stay at the end of the call structure:

HOOK_URL                         Return URL

~target               top               Fixed Value

~caller               CTLG          Fixed Value

~OkCode          ADDI            Fixed Value

UseportalNavigation and system_alias are to be used, when you have SRM-MDM Catalog installed on the same application server as the portal. These parameters have to stay before the HOOK_URL.

Hi Nitish,

actually HOOK_URL is dividing the parameters used for catalog call and the parameters used for return to the SRM application. Generally, parameters which influence the catalog call have to stay before the HOOK_URL.

Hi Nitish,

please also check the OCI 4.0 documentation (you can download it from the SAP Service Marketplace, e.g. service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700004942832004E).

Depending on your SRM release level, following notes might be useful too:

1171916 Enable "Back to SRM" link depending upon SPRO customization

I hope it helps.

hi Timea,

In my project, we implemented :-

1) usePortalNavigation before all parameters, and system_alias=sap srm after all parameters. can you tell me what is the impact of this?

2) usePortalNavigation = X  , can you tell me why it is X here.?

3)hook_url is empty , can you tell why it is empty, is it not needed?

4)target=top, why??

Hi Nitesh,

Below are the definitions of some parameters

HOOK_URL: The URL used to return to the Enterprise Buyer application from the catalog application.

Target: Specifies the frame to which a catalog is to return in a frame-based environment. If this field is not set, the catalog application must provide a default target of_top.

Caller: Indicates that the data was sent by an external catalog.Content must be set to CTLG.

OK Code: Contains the transaction code indicating that the function Add Items to SAP shopping basket is to be performed. Must be set to ADDI for Enterprise Buyer.

Regards

Sunil
