Web applications can be called in different ways:
● as a link in your Intranet
● as a link in the BEx Portfolio or in My Portfolio
See Calling with the BEx Portfolio.
● as an iView in the portal
See BEx Web Application or Query As iView in the Portal.
● Precalculated by e-mail or in the portal (with/without navigation)
For calling in the portal, see BEx Web Application or Query As Document or Link in KM.
● From the universal worklist, only when alerts occur
Depending on calling and display of the Web application, you need to be aware of various things:
● If the user receives the Web application precalculated as MHTML by e-mail, the Web application should only contain the required information. Do not use elements for interaction.
See Precalculating and Broadcasting Queries, Query Views, Web Templates and Reports.
● You have to maintain the associated broadcast settings for precalculation.
See Broadcast by E-Mail and Broadcast to the Portal.
● If the user is to call a Web application from the universal worklist, you first have to make the appropriate broadcast settings to put entries into the alert framework. See Broadcast by Exception.
