Hyperlinks to Documents  

Definition

Links a document belonging to any document class to a second document without physically attaching it. Both documents need to have been created in a format that supports hyperlinks, for example, HTML, WORD, or EXCEL.

Use

There are the following types of links:

...

       1.      You need the following information if you want to create a link from outside of the BW system to a document belonging to a BW object:

·         Server (meaning the SAP Web application server, not the ITS)

·         Port

·         Name of the document that you want to link to

From this information, you get the following URL:

Document Class	URL
Metadata	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/META/FLDMETA/<Document Name>
Master Data	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/MAST/FLDMAST/<Document Name>
InfoProvider Data	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/TRAN/FLDTRAN/<Document Name>

Make sure that the name of the document is unique within the document class.

       2.      You can use relative links to link documents that belong to one and the same document class.

 

To link to document 02, add the HTML code to document 01 according to the following pattern:

<a href = "Name of document 02"> Text </a>

       3.      You can use this method of modifying the HTML code to link documents that do not belong to the same document class.

For example, if you want to link document 01 to document 02, and document 01 belongs to the META document class while document 02 belongs to the TRAN document class, add the HTML code to document 01 as follows:

<a href = "../../TRAN/FLDTRAN/"Name of document 02"> Text </a>
