IFrame CHIPs

Use

The IFrame CHIP is used to display Web pages. You can pass parameters and define tags. Unlike the Web CHIP, which provides a configuration dialog, you configure the IFrame CHIP using a component configuration of the underlying Web Dynpro component.

To create IFrame CHIPs you need authorization S_PB_CHIP

Prerequisites

You are in the runtime authoring environment of the Page Builder, and have opened the CHIP catalog, as described in Adding CHIPs.

Procedure

Creating IFrame CHIPs

Choose folder IFrame CHIPs, open the context menu, and choose Create.... The Editor for Web Dynpro ABAP Component Configuration is opened.
Enter a Configuration ID, for example: IFRAME_CHIP_TEST and choose Create.

After you have selected the package you want, go to tab Component-Defined of component configuration IFRAME_CHIP_TEST.
Select the Header line in table Configuration Context.
Enter the values for the attributes.
- Address
  
  Enter the URL of the required Web page, for example: http://www.sap.com
- CHIP: Icon
  
  Enter the name or path of the icon. This icon will then be used in the CHIP catalog and in the CHIP tray.
  
  More information: Handling Images and Web Icons.
  
  Recommendation
  
  Select only small icons, for example, from the Icons category to ensure they are displayed properly.
- CHIP: Title
  
  Enter a name for the IFrame CHIP. This text will then be used as the title in the CHIP catalog and in the CHIP tray.
- CHIP: Description
  
  Enter a description for the IFrame CHIP. This description can be displayed later in the CHIP catalog in the properties of the CHIP, and can be helpful when selecting the CHIP.
- height
  
  Enter a value for the CHIP height in pixels.
The indicator Final is not relevant for configuring CHIPs.
To enable parameters to be passed, select the Context line, and choose New Inports.

Enter a name, title, and description of the inport. If you require more parameters, repeat this step.

Setting Tags for IFrame CHIP

Select line Context, choose New Inports and define the name of the inport.
Now select line inports, choose New paramInfo, and enter the required data for the parameters.
Select line paramInfo, choose New inportParamTags, and enter the required tag. You can define more tags in the same way.
