PPM Launchpad Customization

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom webdynpro abap application to the Launchpad role. Below is the settings i have done but i am unable to open the application on click of the button. I can see a button with the name in my PPM application but the application is not getting opened.

Do i need to pass the Application alias for that? if yes, please can anyone provide me the steps for Creating it.

Is any other setting i am missing here?

Thanks,

Pavan.

Hello Pavan,

I recently had a requirement to work with Launchpad customising and although my requirement was not the same as yours I did learn a few things

My requirement was to link to a transaction in PS (CJ30) and it seems that yours is to link to checklist Items in this example.

I can confirm that you will need an application alias. In my case it was to 0RPMFIWBSELEMNT

Can you take a look at the 'Define Navigation Settings' configuration and see if there is an application alias there that you can use for checklists?

Thanks for reply C.

In my case it is a custom developed (Z) Webdynpro Application and the checklist is just a name i have provided for that application.  I dont know how to create Application alias for custom developed WDA.

Can any one kinldy suggest?

Hi Pavan,

Please check the variant ZZRPM_RIH in Application configuration of your webdynpro component .

If you don't find the variant in application configuration with the same name you have to create a Variant with ZZRPM_RIH, You can have a glimpse at the standard Application configurations where we have variants.

Thanks for the reply Rabi.

It will be very helpful for me if u can provide me steps for creating the Variant in application configuration.

I am not finding the create variants screen anywhere in the start configurator window of App.configurator.

Appreciate ur help.

Hi, i am able to open my webdynpro application by creating an entry in 'Define Navigation Settings' with the application alias name i have provided, Now the issue is, i am unable to read the Portfolio guid in my WDA application. I tried below code but it is not returning me the values.

Any ideas?

Thanks .

* Get Instance of session state class

   wd_this->mr_session_state = cl_inm_session_state=>get_instance( ).

* Obtain current context from session state.

   CALL METHOD wd_this->mr_session_state->get_current_context

     IMPORTING

       ev_main_port_guid = lv_main_port_guid

       es_context        = ls_context.
