Using the Report-Report Interface to Jump in the Portal

Use

The framework of the report-report interface enables you to transfer parameters from a BEx Web application to other applications. These applications are usually queries, BEx Web applications, ABAP reports, SAP transactions, or Web addresses (URLs).

The portal runs in a separate Web browser and has its own start URL. When using the functions in the report-report interface, you can jump to other applications without the portal. The header area and navigation panel are therefore not displayed if you call a BEx-based URL as a jump target.

If you want to jump with the report-report interface in the portal but stay in the portal desktop, you must be aware of the following:

  • You have to use a Web address with the portal URL. You cannot use BEx-based URLs.
  • The portal allows you to navigate to a special iView because it uses URL parameter NavigationTarget.
  • The portal URL parameter DynamicParameter also allows application-specific URL parameters to be transferred to the application displayed in the iView. These parameters must be coded.

A portal URL has the following format:

<portal_protocol>://<portal_server>/irj/portal

?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/...

&DynamicParameter=...

You need to specify this format as a Web address in the report-report interface. The portal URL can include a placeholder for the host name and port of the portal server. For more information, see SAP Note 716121.

If you want to pass values from a BEx Web application iView to another BEx Web application iView, you have to pass the filter characteristics and the filter values using URL parameter DynamicParameter. You can also transfer values from compound characteristics.
