 6.2 Creating an NWBC Desktop Icon Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You might want to always work with a specific role and not with all roles that are assigned to your user name. This can easily be achieved using the startup URL functionality as described in the previous section.

  1. Create a startup URL that specifically targets NWBC for Desktop (sap-nwbc://).

  2. Create a new desktop icon. This can typically be done via the context menu entries on your desktop   New   Shortcut  .

  3. Type in the startup URL and choose Next.

  4. Type a name for the new shortcut and choose Finish.

    The new shortcut appears on your desktop with the specified name. Note that URLs starting with sap-nwbc are always assigned the NWBC shortcut icon: NWBC shortcut (NWBC shortcut)

Examples

You might have several roles assigned in a certain ABAP system. In transaction SU01 you can see, for example, the following roles assigned to your user name: SAP_BPR_PPM, SAP_QAP_CFX_ADMINISTRATOR, SAP_QAP_XRPM_USER, and also ZNWBC_TEST. Now you can specify a startup URL for, say, SAP_BPR_PPM only and another one for ZNWBC_TEST only:

Example

Role

Startup URL

SAP_BPR_PPM

sap-nwbc://https://mycompany.com:12345/sap/bc/nwbc/SAP_BPR_PPM

BPR_PPM role (BPR_PPM role)

SAP_BPR_PPM (SAP_BPR_PPM)

ZNWBC_TEST

sap-nwbc://https://mycompany.com:12345/sap/bc/nwbc/ZNWBC_TEST

test role (test role)

ZNWBC_TEST (ZNWBC_TEST)

Another example, to bootstrap a good demo, start with no roles assigned and start PFCG directly from such a “bootstrap” URL.

sap-nwbc://https://myCompany.com:12345/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/transaction/pfcg/

PFCG (PFCG)
