Relative Navigation
The relative path navigation variant can be used, for example, for delivering content across several directories.
To activate relative path navigation for the portal in Web Dynpro ABAP, use the portal manager (interface IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION, method NAVIGATE_RELATIVE).
You can generate a template using the wizard, in which you then enter values.
Relative navigation can be used from the defined starting point.
