URL Parameter |
Value |
Description |

open: |
Restarts the BSP application named in the URL |
close: |
Ends the BSP application named in the URL and sends the browser, if specified, to the Web site defined by sap-exiturl. If you want the user to be able to end the application, this option should be available in a BSP application as part of the user interface (as a pushbutton or hyperlink). |
|
sap-exiturl |
* |
Specifies the URL to which the browser is directed when the BSP application ends (for example, http://www.sap.com) |
sap-theme |
* |
Overrides the theme for a BSP application to use other MIME objects, such as pictures and Stylesheets for visualization. |
sap-themeRoot |
* |
Used to handle paths to other locations from where stylesheets are taken. See also: Changing Stylesheets for HTMLB and XHTMLB
This parameter is available from SAP Web AS 6.20 Support Package 7. |
sap-client |
* |
Specifies the client for a logon to the SAP Web Application Server; can be used in the URL or in HTML forms to override the default client. |
sap-user |
* |
Specifies the user for a logon to the SAP Web Application Server; can be used in the URL or in HTML for forms. |
sap-password |
* |
Specifies the password for logon; can be used in HTML forms.
Do not enter this directly in the URL as Web browser URLs are stored in a History list and the password would be visible in plain text, even after the browser is closed. |
sap-language |
* |
Specifies the language (ISO language ID, such as EN or DE) for a logon to the SAP Web Application Server; can be used in the URL or in HTML forms to override the default logon language. |
sap-htmlb-design |

attribute design of <htmlb: content>. For SAP Enterprise Portal 5, DESIGN2002 is supported. For SAP Enterprise Portal 6, both DESIGN2002 and DESIGN2003 are supported. |

sap-accessibility |
X | |
Specification for the accessibility See also Configuration Settings To activate this indicator, an activated checkbox is placed on the logon screen for input help. |
sap-rtl |
True | False |
Details of the RTL support The family of <HTMLB> libraries supports RTL (right-to-left) rendering for design2003. You can activate RTL rendering using the URL parameter sap-rtl=true (but only for the first call before the BSP URL finds out about the URL mangling). Use attribute rtlAutoSwitch from <htmlb:content> to activate the RTL mode automatically, depending on the currently active language (SY-LANGU). The decision about activating RTL is delegated to the function module NLS_RTL_DISPLAY.
|
Parameter names and parameter values are not case sensitive (exception: sap-exiturl is case-sensitive, if the link is to a case-sensitive server). You can combine several parameters in one URL.
