Portal Call from Webdynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a Webdynpro ABAP iView in portal framework page1, I am trying to call portal framework page2 on a buton click from the webdynpro ABAP iView. Can we use absolute navigation in WDA to achieve this, if anyone has done anything similar can you please share the code snippet.

Thanks,

Anand

Hi Anand,

Yes, this is possible. Take a look at the documents...

• Object-Based Navigation (OBN)
• Absolute Navigation
• Relative Navigation

Hi Amy,

Thanks for the reply.

If I use absolute navigation to call the second framework page, the "NavigationTarget" value which is the portal path of the second framework page is also displayed along with the portal URL.

Is there a way to hide the "NavigationTraget" from the url and keep the portal url static http://portal:50000/irj/portal

Thanks and Regards,

Anand

data: filename type string.data: uname type sy-uname.data: path type char200 value 'Specify Your Portal Path here'.

lo_api_component  = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
uname = sy-uname.translate uname to LOWER CASE.concatenate  path uname '.pdf' into filename.

DATA: l_http_client        TYPE REF TO if_http_client.DATA: l_code              TYPE sy-subrc.

    CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
    EXPORTING    URL                = filename
    RECEIVING    WINDOW            = lo_window.
    lo_window->open( ).

endmethod.

Hi Anand,

Does your landscape include a Web Dispatcher for the portal? I believe the web dispatcher is capable of hiding changes to the URL. For example, in our landscape, the web dispatcher always displays the same URL host despite multiple load-balanced hosts being used. Talk to your Basis folks about whether the dispatcher can be installed and configured to hide URL changes.

Hi Rajiv,

I am calling the framework page and when the page is called the portal url looks like

http://portal:50000/irj/portal?NavigationTraget=portal_content/every_user/general/frameworkpage

instead I want to call the framework page and the portal url to remain static as

http://portal:50000/irj/portal

DATA LO_API_COMPONENT  TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT.

   DATA LO_PORTAL_MANAGER TYPE REF TO IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION.

   DATA L_NAVIGATION_TARGET TYPE STRING.

   LO_API_COMPONENT = WD_COMP_CONTROLLER->WD_GET_API( ).

   LO_PORTAL_MANAGER = LO_API_COMPONENT->GET_PORTAL_MANAGER( ).

   MOVE 'portal_content/every_user/general/frameworkpage'

     to L_NAVIGATION_TARGETt.

   CALL METHOD lo_portal_manager->NAVIGATE_ABSOLUTE

     EXPORTING

     NAVIGATION_TARGET   = L_NAVIGATION_TARGET

      NAVIGATION_MODE     = IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION=>CO_SHOW_INPLACE.

*      WINDOW_FEATURES     =

*      WINDOW_NAME         =

*      HISTORY_MODE        = IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION=>CO_NO_DUPLICATES

*      TARGET_TITLE        =

*    CONTEXT_URL         =

*      POST_PARAMETERS     = ABAP_FALSE

*      USE_SAP_LAUNCHER    = ABAP_TRUE

*      BUSINESS_PARAMETERS =

*      LAUNCHER_PARAMETERS =

Thanks,
