Calling the Web Application

Purpose

Web applications can be called in different ways:

• As a link in your Intranet
• As a link in the BEx Portfolio or in My Portfolio

  See Calling with the BEx Portfolio .

• As an iView in the portal

  See BEx Web Application or Query as iView in the Portal .

• Precalculated by e-mail or in the portal (with/without navigation)

  For calling Web applications in the portal, see BEx Web Application or Query as Document or Link in KM .

• From the universal worklist (only when alerts occur)

Depending on how the Web application is called and displayed, you need to be aware of various points:

• If the user receives the Web application precalculated as MHTML by e-mail, the Web application should only contain the required information. Do not use elements for interaction.

  See Precalculating and Broadcasting Queries, Query Views, Web Templates, and Reports .

• You have to make the relevant broadcast settings for precalculation.

  See Broadcasting BEx Objects by E-Mail and Broadcasting BEx Objects to the Portal .

• If the user is to call a Web application from the universal worklist, you first have to make the appropriate broadcast settings to put entries into the alert framework. See Broadcasting Queries by Exception .
