Is it intend that executing a Fragment Bookmark URL will not raise On Startup event?

[former_member278715]

Hello everybody,

I was searching the web for a possibility executing script when opening a shared or saved Fragment Bookmark URL but could not find any information about that (it seems that no startup event is raised).

Use case:
Imagine we have an application for analyzing data that is displayed in a simple Crosstab or as an Infochart by using filter and navigation possibilities.
Now users would like to share or save their results (especially the data source structure and filter values) in the browser favorites and reopen it later on with latest data and updated informations (i.e. for different regular reports).

Issue:
We tried to use a Fragment Bookmark for that use case which can be shared by URL or saved as a favorite in the browser.
However, once the Fragment Bookmark is opened again it will display exactly the same data / view that exist during bookmark creation without performing any event (neither On Startup nor any other).
Now I am missing a possibility for updating the data or any components. Do you know if this is intend behavior?

Alternative scenario / issue:
Instead of using a Fragment Bookmark, we tried to pass the navigation status as well as the filter values as an URL parameter which works fine. However, due to the open document functionality it is not possible to (easily) store the link as a favorite to the browser since the URL containing the application ID as well as the parameters will change after execution:

http://<server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AeC.7HydqiFEk.y...

will be changed to

http://<server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/1703290709/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.faces?logonSucc...

which cannot be stored as a favorite.

Any help or information would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Matti

Hi Matti,

Please see my comments below:

"However, once the Fragment Bookmark is opened again it will display exactly the same data / view that exist during bookmark creation without performing any event (neither On Startup nor any other).

What you have described is the intended behaviour. Loading a bookmark does not trigger the On Startup event, for the very reason of preventing actions which may influence the loading of the bookmark state. It sounds like you are expecting any changes made to a bookmark AFTER it was created to be REMEMBERED the next time the bookmark URL is launched. Only the original creator of the bookmark can achieve this by using the toOverwrite parameter and RESAVING the same bookmark.

In comparison, when bookmarks are shared, if a user other than the original creator of the bookmark makes any changes, then those changes need to be saved as a NEW bookmark. One user cannot make updates to a bookmark created by another user.

Regards,

Mustafa.

Hi Matti - would the personalization option fit the requirement? See https://archive.sap.com/documents/docs/DOC-55516
