Details

Dynamic parameters are supported in the same way as for other launchers (see iViewLauncher ). SAPAppLauncher can be used to launch any application, based on an existing integrator template (see  Portal Content  Templates   TemplateiViews ). They include SAP BSP, SAP IAC, SAP MiniApp, SAP Transaction, SAP Web Dynpro. These applications have their own launchers, but they can also be launched through SAPAppLauncher .

Following is an example of launching Web Dynpro application using SAPAppLauncher .

1. Create a wrapper iView based on SAP Web Dynpro iView template.

   The creating process asks for required parameters like application name ( WebDynproApplication ), namespace ( WebDynproDeployableObject ), and system, which must be entered and optional parameters that can be entered.

2. Enter the created iView ID as a value for SAPIntegrator property.
