Procedure documentation Adding External Connector Nodes  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You can append navigation nodes to a specific role, workset or role folder by setting the External Connector property.

By setting the property – with a connector prefix and a key – the navigation service calls getInitialNodes()for the specified connector, passing the specified key. The connector returns nodes, and the navigation service appends the nodes to the role, workset or role folder.

The following is the format for the External Connector property value:

<connector prefix>://<key>

where connector prefix is the prefix under which the connector was registered. For more information, see Step 3: Registering the Connector.

The key is sent in the environment variables in the call to getInitialNodes(), and the connector can return different nodes based on the key.
