Starting and Ending a BSP Application

Use

URL parameters can be used to inform the BSP runtime environment to start or end a BSP application (corresponds to the OK code "/n" in SAP GUI). To do this, the Query String parameter sap-sessioncmd is added to the URL and the HTTP request is sent to the server.

For a list of all system-specific URL parameters that have a special use in the BSP application environment, see System-Specific URL Parameters.

Procedure

The following commands are supported:

open: Restarts a BSP application that is running. The application is started up if it is not currently running. http://myServer.sap.corp:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=open
close: Ends a running BSP application and either tells the system to display a blank page or go to a specific Web site (exit URL). The exit URL is specified using an additional URL parameter. This parameter is called sap-exiturl, and must contain a full HTTP URL.

Note

To be compatible with SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) and the SAP Enterprise Portal (SAP EP), you can also use ~exitURL.

Example

Restart of BSP test application IT00:

http://myServer.sap.corp:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=open
Ending the application externally:

http://myServer.sap.corp:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=close&sap-exiturl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sap.com

Note

Pay attention to the spelling of the URL - all URI parameters, that is everything following the ?, must be URL-encoded.
