Calling the Web Application 

Purpose

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.
