Keeping the WebRFC URL dynamic in Personas

Posted on Jan 29, 2014 at 02:23 AM 78 Views

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge so I thought I'd mention it 😊

In order to avoid a hard coded server name when performing a WebRFC, there is a very simple way to build the URL in a dynamic fashion. Just precede the WebRFC step with a Javascript step which builds a variable from the current protocol and host name and use that in the WebRFC step. So something like this:

Calculate in JavaScript args.server = location.protocol + '//' + location.host;

Call WebRFC {server}/sap/bc/webrfc?_FUNCTION=functionnname...etc...

This avoids having to alter the flavor when it gets transported to another environment like from Dev to QA and so on.

    Thanks Tamas. I've been meaning to add this info to my WebRFC blog for a while. Now I just need to add a link pointing here 😊

    Is it worth also adding the port number to the calculation?

    Steve.

    Hi,

    Just want to provide simplified info for doing RFC regarding the info split into several posts. Here is the script of calling RFC with dynamic domain (from Tamas) and random number for constantly updating UI value:

    It works fine even with special (eg danish chars), see below:

    Hope this help someone to get RFC work a bit easily.

    Hi Tamas

    Thank for your post on Dynamic URL.

    Due to I have to add another parameter for sap client in URL as below

    Call WebRFC {server}/sap/bc/webrfc?_FUNCTION=XXXXX&_name={name}&sap_client=110

    I don't want to hard code 110, how do I get the sap-client dynamic, Please advise.

    Regards

    Nat

      Hi,

      In your case, I guess you can do like this:

      You can set 100 and 110 on Dev system using SPRO so that when you logon Personas, you have to choose which client system is to be used (or put client in url of your app).

      Your Personas app can be made for both systems, and the WebRFC module may have to be copied onto the two systems too. Then on UI, you will need to call the module without specifying the client number.

      Just for testing purpose, I haven't done dynamic client number by just 'name' as normally you don't specify that in the url as you can specify that in your personas app url.

      Br,
