Before you can use the navigation targets defined in the modeler, you must work through the following activities for the connected back-end system:
Activate supported UI technologies
Define the sequence and thus the priority of the UI technologies
Specify the associated server connections
The UI technologies are used to display links for related actions that appear in the search results. If a related action is specified for more than one UI technology, the UI technology with the highest priority is used when the links in the search results is used.
The following UI technologies are available:
WebClient UI
SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI
Web Dynpro
Each of the UI technologies can be launched by an SAP NetWeaver Application Server or an SAP NetWeaver Portal, for which you have to specify the associated server information.

.Perform one or more of the tasks listed below:
Activate the UI technologies.
Define the order of the UI technologies.
Enter server information for the back-end systems.
Choose Save

To activate a UI technology for the back-end system, select the Active
checkbox.
Note
Active entries appear at the top of the overview table. A UI technology that is not yet active is moved to the bottom of the list of active entries when you select the Active
checkbox in the overview table. As soon as you deselect the checkbox, the entry is placed below the active entries.
You can change the order of the UI technologies selected as active in the overview table. The prerequisite for this is that there are at least two active entries.
To move an entry higher up the overview table and thus to increase the priority of the entry, choose Increase Priority
. Repeat this until the entry reaches the required position and corresponding priority.
To reduce the priority of an entry, choose Reduce Priority
. Repeat this until the entry reaches the required position and corresponding priority.
If you choose an entry that is selected as Active
in the overview table, you can enter or change the associated server information. Depending on the type of UI technology, the system provide entry fields for SAP NetWeaver Application Server or SAP NetWeaver Portal.
