Starting and Ending a BSP Application (SAP Library - Web Applications and Business Server Pages)

Starting and Ending a BSP Application

Use

URL parameters can be used to inform the BSP runtime environment to start or end a BSP application (corresponds to the OK code "/n" in SAP GUI) To do this, the Query String parameter sap-sessioncmd is added to the URL and the HTTP request is sent to the server. Compare System-Specific URL Parameters

Note

To be compatible with SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) and the Workplace, you can also use ~SAPSessionCmd.

Procedure

The following commands are supported:

open: Restarts a BSP application that is running. The application is started if it is not running already. To be compatible with the Internet Transaction Server (ITS), the following abbreviated format is supported, whereby the page name is replaced by an exclamation mark ("!"):
http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00/!
This is the same as the following URL:
http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=open

close: Ends a running BSP application and either tells the system to display a blank page or go to a specific Web site (exit URL). The exit URL is specified using an additional URL parameter, sap-exiturl, and must contain a full HTTP URL.

Note

To be compatible with SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) and the Workplace, you can also use ~SAPSessionCmd.

Example

Restart of BSP test application IT00:

http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=open
or
http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00/!

Ending the application externally:

http://myServer.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00?sap-sessioncmd=close&sap-exiturl=http://www.sap.com
