Web Display Customizing 

Use

You can display and change records, documents, notes, and URLs on the Web. These elements can therefore be displayed without installing the SAP GUI for Windows.

It is theoretically possible to display all elements in the Web. You can enhance every service provider by adding these functions.

Prerequisites

The SAP Web Application Server is set up for HTTP access.

To access documents you also have to configure the Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR) for HTTP access.

For more information, see HTTP Access for Repositories on the SAP Web Application Server.

Activities

To customize the Web display, the following steps are required:

Selecting/Creating the Underlying Business Server Page (BSP) Application

Depending on your requirements, you can use the BSP application SRM_DEMO_RECORD directly, or you can copy it to the BSP application and modify it.

You have to copy and modify the application in the following cases:

·        Deep portal integration

The BSP application reacts to portal events. Example: You want an additional iView to cause a particular record to be displayed.

·        Navigation or user logic that differs from the standard logic

·        If you want the display of records or documents to be embedded in a customer-defined BSP application

 

For more information, read the guide Programming Service Providers for Business Pages (available to Records Management customers upon request).

Retrieval takes place by means of the application SRM_DEMO_RECORD in the RMS S_RMS_DATA with the element type SRM_SPS_RECORD. You can enter different RMS and element types by using URL parameters as follows:

http://<default host>/<alias>/iview.htm?rms_id=<RMS ID>&sps_id=<SPS ID>.

Activating the BSP Application in Transaction SICF

The BSP application SRM_DEMO_RECORD or the customer-defined BSP application has to be activated by using transaction SICF. In this transaction you can also assign an alias for accessing the BSP application. For more information, see the documentation for the transaction SICF.

Adjusting the Search Function

You can adjust the search function without modifications (for displaying additional or other search parameters, for example). To do so, a class has to be implemented that implements the interface IF_SRM_GENSP_QUERY_EXT. This class then has to be assigned to the corresponding element type in transaction SRMREGEDIT by using the connection parameter GENSP_QUERY_EXT. For more information, see the interface documentation on IF_SRM_QUERY_EXT.

Defining a BSP iView in the Enterprise Portal

The enterprise portal allows you to use BSP applications by using a special iView for BSP applications. For more information, see the documentation about the enterprise portal.

 

Notes for Users of the BSP Display in Release 6.20

We no longer recommend that you follow the procedure for using the Records Organizer to access BSP applications, which is described in the documentation for Release 6.20. Instead, use the enterprise portal. or access the BSP application directly as described above.

For downward compatibility, the Records Organizer for BSP is still delivered, but we no longer recommend that you use it.
