Creating Target Mappings for the SAP Easy Access MenuLocate this document in the navigation structure

To provide SAP Easy Access menu entries in users' home page personalization and enable navigation to the respective transactions and Web Dynpro applications, you need to create two target mappings for each back-end system.

For each back-end system, you need to create two target mappings:

  • A target mapping for transactions

  • A target mapping for Web Dynpro applications

Target Mapping for Transactions

Configure this target mapping as follows:

Field

Description

Semantic Object

Shell

This value needs to be written exactly like this.

Action

startGUI

This value needs to be written exactly like this.

Application Type

Transaction

Title

Enter a title, for example BE1 Client 100.

The title that you enter in this field will be displayed to end users when they select a system from which they can then select SAP User Access menu entries.

Tip

We recommend that you use the same title as in the target mapping for Web Dynpro applications that you create for the same back-end system.

In case both target mappings are specified, the title in the Shell-startGUI target mapping will be preferred over the title in the Shell-startWDA target mapping.

The title in the Shell-startGUI target mapping will be preferred over the title in the Shell-startWDA target mapping, in case both the target mappings are specified
