Is it possible to a open a existing mopz session in web browser?

Hello,

The service of Maintenance Optimizer is /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan

so, it would be like http://host:<8xx0>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan?id=<number>

Where <8xx0> is your Webdynpro ABAP port (xx is the system number ) and <number> is the Maintenance Optimizer transaction number .

If you don't fill any number , Maintenance Optimizer will create a new transaction.

Best regards,

Miguel Ariño

The url that you have provided does not work.

The only that I could get working is by passing the CRM_GUID as I stated before.

This is why I would like to know if there is a way to go this url from a SAP menu.

What is weird with SAP SolMan is that they are saying look we have generated the work center

in web techno.

When you try to use it you notice that it is mandatory to have a SAP Windows GUI.

Therefore you can not use from MacOs or Linux.

On the other side SAP says you can use the Java GUI for almost everything.

But the reality is that you can not use it for basic SolMan tasks 😞

Thank in advance for your help.

It works for me.

Be more specific when you say 'does not work'.

I work every day with that type of URL. Perhaps you have constructed it wrong, your browser is old, or your network rules do not allow usage of Wendynpro ABAP.

How do you 'notice that it  is mandatory to have a SAP Windows GUI'? It is not the case in my experience, I talk about 4 years using this.

I have used this URL in WTS systems without a SAP Windows GUI.

I had 500 internal error.

But I was not testing with non fqdn host.

If I had the domain in the url it works.

Thanks.

Would you know why SAP SolMan developers have decided to create work centers

with pseudo html that can not be executed in a standard browser?

Well, I don't really know about that.

Some other support message I saw today has a customer complaining because the Work Center opens in a browser window and not in the SAP GUI. So, I guess you can find fault with it either way.

I have seen the Work Center to work in Internet Explorer (I think it is supposed to be officially supported only in current versions of IE), and Google Chrome. I haven't tested any other browsers.

My personal take is that any technology used to generate html (PHP, Webdynpro, etc etc)  is liable to lag a little behind the latest standard specification. Also, in order to speed up implementation and reduce complexity of support, a decision has been made to support a limited range of browsers. In this case IE.

Hi,

You can go to SM_WORKCENTER txn code, on Change Management tab, select your transaction.

As I have said previously, this does not work in a web browser or in the Java GUI.

Are you on 7.0 or 7.1? SM_WORCENTER must work in 7.1 version of solman.

Ok, then try activating service AGS_WORCENTER and you should be able to access it.

http://sapsmq.seidor.es:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan?sap-client=100

i also have that url after a jump from bitly for manage stats, that's a only xml stack system.

AGS_WORKCENTER is activated.

My problem is not that the Mopz is not working.

It is how do you run it from a Mac or a Linux Box where there is no Windows GUI.

The url works only for creating a new Mopz.

But I was asking for "a existing mopz session in web browser".

What do you mean by "bitly" and "only xml stack system"'

What you do is add ?id=<number> right after the /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan bit.

You generate the base Maintenance Optimizer URL by testing in SICF the service /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan.

Copy that, remove everything after _plan..., and add ?id= and the 80000xxxx document number .

I have tried and it does not work.

Could you make it work on your side?

[Miguel_Ariño]

Post the URL you work with, and the error you get. 'does not work' is not informative enough.

I do this from my side every day, from customer's WTS without SAP GUI installed , from my own desktop, etc.

Hello Benoit

As I understand you correctly run tcode solman_workcenter choose tab change management form left menu choose Maintenance Optimizer.

From table click on ID column, session should open in web browser.

Hello SAPFan,

Try it.

You will see that it is so well programmed that it is meant to be executed

only in Windows GUI.

You get this error:

---

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (sapevent) isn't associated with any program.

Hi,

Try to copy generated link to other web browsers like IE or chrome.

You can also try run program RDSMOP_MAIN using SE38  Solman in old fashion way aslo click on proper vale ub ID column .

Which version of Solman do you use ?

The url is http://solman:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wda_mopz_plan?CRM_GUID=xxx.

The CRM_GUID is not showed by default.

Therefore I would expect an easier way.

RDSMOP_MAIN returns the following:

---

This function is obsolete and not supported anymore.

Use the equivalent functions in the SAP Solution Manager workcenters instead.

See SAP Note 1541013.

Is there a way to make it work?
