 Reference Info: Definition of Hyperlinks to Files in SAP System Locate this document in the navigation structure

You can define hyperlinks that refer to documents in the SAP system (such as work instructions) in PI sheets and cockpits. To do so , you must define an HTML tag that supports hyperlinks. Note the following:

  • You must mark the component as a hyperlink.

    You do so by adding the ID=“_bfw_link_” attribute in the HTML tag.

  • We recommend specifying a separate frame as the target for hyperlinks.

  • You specify the URL to be called. Depending on the document, you must follow the following naming convention:

    • For documents in the SAP system:

      "SAPR3-WR- file name" ( ) "SAPR3-WR-MYFILE.HTML"

    • For PI documents:

      "SAPR3-PIDOC- plantPI cockpit name" ( ) "SAPR3-PIDOC-0001PIMYCOCKPIT"

The documents referred to in this way are automatically provided by the application server when the PI sheet or cockpit is loaded. This may cause performance problems when the PI document is loaded for the first time.

Example Example

Example of the definition of a link to a cockpit in the HTML document

<A ID=“_bfw_link_“ HREF=“SAPR3 - PIDOC-001PIMYCOCKPIT “ TARGET=“FRAME2“>MyLink</A>

End of the example.

You can also specify that you do not want the SAP system to provide the documents unless they are actually called by the user. To do so, you put an asterisk (*) instead of a hyphen (-) after SAPR3 in the URL:

  • "SAPR3*WR- file name"

  • "SAPR3*PIDOC- plantPI cockpit name"
