Creating an NWBC Desktop Icon
You might want to work always with a specific role and not with all roles that are assigned to your user name. To do this, use the startup URL functionality as described in the previous section:
-
Create a startup URL that specifically targets NWBC for Desktop ( sap-nwbc://).
-
Create a new desktop icon. To do this, go to the context menu on your desktop and choose
New 
Shortcut 
. -
Type in the startup URL and choose Next.
-
Type a name for the shortcut and choose Finish.
The new shortcut appears on your desktop with the specified name. Note that URLs starting with sap-nwbc are always assigned the NWBC shortcut icon:
Examples
You might have several roles assigned in a certain ABAP system. In transaction User Maintenance ( SU01), you can see the following roles assigned to your user name: SAP_BPR_PPM, SAP_QAP_CFX_ADMINISTRATOR, SAP_QAP_XRPM_USER, and also ZNWBC_TEST. You can now specify a startup URL for SAP_BPR_PPM only and another one for ZNWBC_TEST only:
|
Role |
Startup URL when Using Server Runtime for SAP NetWeaver UI services |
Startup URL when Using Server Runtime for SAP NetWeaver Business Client |
|---|---|---|

SAP_BPR_PPM |
sap-nwbc://https://mycompany.com:12345/sap/bc/ui2/nwbc/SAP_BPR_PPM To access NWBC with this role, click the startup icon shown in the figure below:

To bootstrap a good demo, start with no roles assigned and start transaction Role Maintenance (PFCG) directly from a “bootstrap” URL:
For users using the UI services runtime: sap-nwbc://https://myCompany.com:12345/sap/bc/ui2/nwbc/~canvas/transaction/pfcg/
For users using the NWBC runtime: sap-nwbc://https://myCompany.com:12345/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/transaction/pfcg/
The activity described above is shown in the following figure:
