URL Parameters and Application Parameters 

To control the Web Dynpro for ABAP runtime or the Web Dynpro for ABAP application, you can use the following URL query string parameters in a request URL.

You simply extend the relevant URL in the browser:

<schema>://<host>.<domain>.<extension>:<port>/sap/bc/webdynpro/<namespace>/<application name>?<parameter name>=<parameter value>

http://us7211.wdf.sap.corp:50021/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/othello?sap-wd-renderMode=raw

The parameter names are not case sensitive, nor are the parameter values (exception: sap-exiturl, if it is pointed to a case-sensitive server). You can combine several parameters in one URL.

URL Parameters for Web Dynpro

The URL parameters for Web Dynpro all begin with sap-wd-. This reserves the sap-wd- prefix for SAP. The table below contains a list of URL parameters and values that are relevant for Web Dynpro for ABAP.

WDA URL Parameters

Parameter	Value	Description
sap-wd-client	ssrClient (default value) xmlClient (automatically inserted by the smart client)	Key used to select a special client We recommend not entering anything here, so that the default value ssrClient is used.
sap-wd-configId	<ID of the configuration>	Configuration ID The semantics correspond to the WDCONFIGURATIONID application parameter
sap-wd-deltaRendering	ON | OFF	Delta Rendering mode. See also: WDDELTARENDERING application parameter.
sap-wd-ssrconsole	true |	Web Dynpro console display. More information: Security Aspects for Web Dynpro ABAP
sap-wd-skipSplashscreen	X |	Suppresses the display of the initial screen when a Web Dynpro for ABAP application is started.

SAP URL Parameters

SAP also provides the following general URL parameters for all browser-based SAP front-end technologies.

These general URL parameters all begin with sap-. The sap- prefix is reserved for SAP, just like sap-wd.

SAP URL Parameters

Parameter	Value	Description
sap-accessibility	X |	Accessibility
sap-accessibility-debug	X |	Parameter for testing the accessibility texts. More information: Accessibility of a Web Dynpro Application
sap-rtl	X |	Right-to-left support
sap-language	<two character language code>	Language See below and Configuration Settings
sap-client	<three character abbreviation for client>	Client The sap-client parameter is determined as follows, whereby the first applicable method is used: ...        1.      Using the sap-client URL parameter        2.      Using the standard client in the system logon configuration (transaction SICF)        3.      Using the standard client in system (transaction RZ11, login/system_client profile parameter) More information: Determining the Client.
sap-cssurl	<URL>	URL for using cascading style sheets Pay attention to the settings for the white list.
sap-user	<user name>	User ID used for user mapping
sap-explanation	X |	Help mode for an application. More information: Explanation
sap-config-mode	X | config	Configuration mode This parameter is set automatically if the application is running in the portal in the preview mode, or is running from the Web Dynpro explorer in the Development Workbench from the menu option Web Dynpro Application  →  Test  →  Execute in Administration Mode. This parameter is always evaluated if personalization is called. More information: Personalization Authorization Checks sap-config-mode=config is available for the Configuration of the ALV Display. For more information, see Saving Configuration Data Records.
sap-ep-version	<Release>.<Service-Pack>.<YYYYMMDDHHMM>	Portal version This parameter is resolved by the portal manager. It is used to integrate a Web Dynpro application into the SAP NetWeaver, or to determine the portal version. See also Portal Integration.

Parameters of an Application in Web Dynpro Explorer

You can also set application parameters in a Web Dynpro application in the Web Dynpro explorer.

This is done on the Parameters tab page in a Web Dynpro application. You can either define your own parameters or select one of the predefined parameters:

●      WDACCESSIBILITY
Accessibilitysapurl_link parameters.

●      WDCONFIGURATIONID
(configuration name. More information: Aoplication Configuration)

●      WDDELTARENDERING
View-based Delta Rendering.
This application parameter can have the following values:

○       OFF (default value)

Deactivates view-based delta rendering.

○       ON

Activates view-based delta rendering.

As an alternative to this application parameter, you can use the sap‑wd‑deltaRendering URL parameter for view-based delta rendering. This parameter always overrides the application parameter.

●      WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION
Suppresses the personalization options for the end user. More information: Personalization

●      WDDISPLAYSPLASHSCREEN
Displays the initial screen when a Web Dynpro ABAP application is started.

●      WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET
The Web Dynpro framework automatically compares the versions of the portal and Web Dynpro for ABAP style sheets. If the Web Dynpro for ABAP has a newer version, the WDA style sheet is used. This avoids unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors. Bear in mind that any customer branding will be lost. You can deactivate this behavior again using the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET application parameter.
See also SAP Notes 1033496 and 1073498.

●      WDHIDEMOREFIELDHELPASDEFAULT
The display of the extended help is deactivated by default. For selected individual fields, you can reactivate F1 help.
More information: Property explanation.

●      WDPROTECTEDAPPLICATION
Makes using Web Applications Without Domain Relaxingsecure.

Note that when you set this parameter, the portal integration no longer functions without any restrictions. Portal eventing does not work anymore. Session handling is also affected (navigating away from iView or closing the browser), as is the work protection mode.

●      WDSHAREDREPOSITORY
Specifies that the metadata belonging to an application is loaded into the shared memory. This considerably improves performance.
When using this parameter, make sure that the shared memory is large enough.

●      WDTABLENAVIGATION
Determines the scrolling mode for Tables.

There are the following options:

○       No specification
Default value, navigation using paginators

○       PAGINATOR
Navigation using paginators

○       SCROLLBAR
Navigation using scroll bars

●      WDTHEMEROOT
Specifies the style sheet for the application without portal integration. The default style sheet is sap_tradeshow.

The following style sheets are available:

○       sap_chrome

○       sap_hcb

○       sap_highcont

○       sap_standard

○       sap_tradeshow

You can also set these parameters (or even one of them) globally for all Web Dynpro for ABAP applications. To do this, execute the WD_GLOBAL_SETTING Web Dynpro for ABAP application, select change mode, and enter the required value of the parameter for all applications.

Order of Evaluation

The setting options are evaluated in the order below:

       4.      In the parameters determined by the URL

       5.      For the standard parameters defined for the Web Dynpro application

The logon language is determined or proposed from the sources listed below: These sources are evaluated in the order below whereby the first in the list is the decisive source.

...

       1.      sap-language URL parameter (see above)

       2.      Default language in the setting for the system logon

       3.      Web browser languages (Accept-Language)

       4.      Default language of the SAP system

The language from the user account in the SAP system is not evaluated.

The relevant language must be installed in your system.
