Call ESS FPM CATS Working time application from non FPM web dynpro application on click of button

[Former Member]

Hi,

My requirement is to launch ESS Working time application HRESS_AC_CATS_1 from custom web dynpro application.

ESS CATS working time application is configured in LPD_CUST launchpad.

I tried using method  cl_hr_navigation_services=>navigate in my custom web dynpro but it did not work.

Regards,

Ibrahim

In case you want to use Launchpad, you can use ABAP class CL_APB_LAUNCHPAD_API. If choose not to use Launchpad, you can use method CONSTRUCT_WD_URL of ABAP class CL_WD_UTILITIES to generate the URL. Specify Web Dynpro application and Web Dynpro Configuration as parameter. Finally create an external window using method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW that points to that URL.

Solved.

My Custom application wasn't FPM earlier and hence it was not returning the instance and was coausing dump in NAVIGATE ethod. After making the application as FPM it worked.
