We have a link under Employee Other Services in ESS - HC Personnel Policies - which should lead the user to an external https page. We have tried three approaches so far which have all failed, as listed below -
1. Application Type - URL. In LPD_Cust --> Employee Other Services --> HC Personnel Policies, provide the Application Type as URL and give the https URL directly in Application Parameter field.
It gives the error "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" when the link is clicked.
2. Per SAP Note 2130808 - Content in frame causes error using external link
Create a URL iView in the SAP Enterprise Portal (7.4) for the https page. In LPD_Cust--> Employee Other Services --> HC Personnel Policies, provide Application Type - POP Portal Page.
Application Parameter is the pcd location of the URL iview.
We have tried with and without encoding the special characters (':' as !3a, '/' as !2f etc) but neither worked.
3. Per https://answers.sap.com/questions/10919695/i-am-getting-the-contents-cannot-be-displayed-in-a.html
Created a KM html page that opens the desired URL. Created a URL iView for this KM Page.
In LPD_Cust--> Employee Other Services --> HC Personnel Policies, provide Application Type - POP Portal Page.
Application Parameter is the pcd location of the URL iview.
This gave the same error "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" when the link is clicked. Is there any other approach that can get us to launch this External Link through ESS Launchpad?
