Integration with SAP NetWeaver Business Client

You can use individual WebClient UI components integrated with SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC). You can use one of the two versions of SAP NetWeaver Business Client: SAP NetWeaver Business Client for HTML or SAP NetWeaver Business Client for Desktop 3.0 and later. For more information, see SAP NetWeaver Business Client.

This integration is meant for users who use mostly applications that do not use the WebClient UI with NWBC and who need to access only a few WebClient UI applications.

Example Example

You use Financial Accounting in SAP ERP and, in addition, you wish to use account details of SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM).

End of the example.

Users who work primarily with WebClient UI applications should continue to use the standalone WebClient UI to have the full set of features available with WebClient UI components and the roles that were designed for the WebClient UI.

Prerequisites

For information about setting up the integration with NWBC, see Setting Up Integration with SAP NetWeaver Business Client.

Features

The following WebClient UI features are available when using the WebClient UI integrated with NWBC:

Feature	Availability in SAP NetWeaver Business Client 3.0
Direct link group	Link collection
Navigation bar	Second and third level navigation
Central search	Within the work area (as part of the WebClient UI)
Skins	Standard skin and high contrast skin
Logoff	Logoff from NWBC
Logoff from NWBC	Within the work area (as part of the WebClient UI)

Note that the following WebClient UI features are not available when using the WebClient UI integrated with NWBC:

Central personalization
WebClient UI help
Recent items

In addition, note the following specifics:

Session handling
If you navigate to WebClient UI components using NWBC, a new WebClient UI session is created. Any existing WebClient UI session is terminated and the history is deleted.
BW reports
Start BW reports directly in NWBC. Do not use the remote system (for example, SAP CRM) from NWBC to integrate BW reports, since this is very complex. However, if the BW report is part of a WebClient UI page (for example, overview page or fact sheet), you can display this BW information.
SAP Internet Transaction Server with SAP GUI for HTML
All applications using the SAP Internet Transaction Server with SAP GUI for HTML should be integrated directly with NWBC. That is, these applications should not be started using the transaction launcher in the WebClient UI.
