Choose from the following options to call up the template:

Default

LDOC

Parameter

Description

WBID

Key of the Excel workbook, under which you stored the Web template in the Business Explorer.

PAGEID

Name of the Web template

Name under which you stored the Web template in the Web Publisher.

STATELESS (optional)

‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No

End the connection to the server as soon as possible

For Web templates that are used only to display without further navigation, it is more useful to set the attribute STATELESS. The session on the application server is terminated when the Web template is structured. This saves resources on the application server. When the page is generated, the GENERATE_LINKS attribute is automatically set to ' ' for all items.

If this attribute is not specified, it is assumed that the page is still needed for navigating.

STYLE_SHEET (optional)

Path to a stylesheet that you want to use to display the Web template.

This overwrites any stylesheet that you may have already assigned.

TRACE (optional)

’X’ = switch on, ’ ’ = do not switch on

Switch on OLAP trace

To analyze problems with SAP, you usually need a trace. You can activate the trace with the help of note 112458 or by using the TRACE parameter.

If there is no setting made here, the system uses a Web template generated by SAP.
