Retreive a parameter in an Application Integrator iview for use in portal

[Former Member]

Hi all gurus!

A (perhaps) more tricky question this time: Can you retreive data from the external system in an AppINt (Application Integrator) iview?

This is our case:

We have an AppInt iview connected to an external index server.

The user ID is sent as an parameter to this server and a search result is presented (works like a charm).

We have several iviews showing our R3 system through transaction iviews.

Now for the tricky part. We want this to happen when we click a link at the external server in the AppInt iview:

-Two parameters shall be retreived from the external server which it posts.

-An application iview should be opened and which one should be determined by one of the retreived parameters.

-The second parameter should be sent to the transaction iview so that you don't have to copy/paste it.

The last thing is of course simple to achive, we already send parameters to the transaction iviews, but it's the first two things of retreiving parameters and opening up a certain iview that is concerning me.

Can this be done?

Best regards

Benny Lange

Thanks a lot Michael!

And just to clearify it completely for stupid me: if you have that url at/in the external page in the AppInt iview, it will open a transaction iview in the portal when clicked?

And furthermore: if it does just that, will the page replace the external "first" page or will it open one as a popup?

Hi Benny

I'm not sure where it will be launched. A lot will depend on there the external page is started.

Hi again Michael.

The external page shown in the AppInt iview is within the portal and not a "popup" so I assume, even if you never should do that, that the transaction iview will be shown int its place, that is, also wihtin the portal.

But did I understand you correctly in my other assumption that the link is on the external page and opens a transaction iview when clicked?

Best regards

Hi Benny

I think the best thing to do is to try it - that's the only way to see what heppens in your environment.
