Setting Help Links for Multiple WD Applications and Application Configurations

Use

If you want to set help links to an application configuration, or use a filter to restrict the help link display in the Help Center for Web Dynpro applications and/or application configurations, you have to implement a BAdI.

Procedure

Creating Enhancement Implementations

  1. Navigate in transaction SE18 to BAdI definition WD_BADI_HELP_LINK, and open it.

  2. To create an enhancement implementation, select node Implementation, open the context menu, and choose Create BAdI Implementation.

    On the next screen, choose New, and define a name and short text for the enhancement implementation.

  3. Define the name of the implementing class, and save it.

  4. Select your enhancement implementation, and choose tab Enhancement Spot Element Definitions.

Defining Filters

With the filter you can define the Web Dynpro applications and/or application configurations for which one or more specified help links are displayed in the Help Center. For example, you can define a filter that specifies these links for a specific set of applications.

  1. Select Filter Values and choose Create Filter Combination.

    Choose:

    • APPLICATION_NAME to set a filter on a Web Dynpro application

    • APPLICATION_CONFIGURATION to set a filter on an application configuration.

    Repeat this step for further filter criteria and define the filter values and comparators.

Implementing Links to the Help Center

  • Navigate to the implementing class and set the help links there.
