URL Navigation While Testing Web Dynpro

Use

While recording and replaying Web Dynpro, you can open other applications by using URL navigations such as LinkToAction and LinkToURL, and navigate between these applications.

If, during recording, you call another application by using the relevant URL, the node NAVIGATE_TO is added to the command interface of the original application. You will find the following information under the node:

• Complete URL

• Base URL (without specification of server, port, or parameter)

• Names and values of parameters as key/value pairs

• Navigation table

  A navigation table is created in the command interface of the original application. The name of the table is made up of the name of the source command interface and the name of the target command interface. During runtime, all parameters are written from the URL to this table, for example, generated document numbers. When the URL of the target application is called, this data is passed and can then be overwritten in the target application.

The command interface of the called application has a URL node, where you can find the same specifications, plus additional parameters such as the session ID. A new session is opened in the called application; the calls are numbered.
