Launching Application won't work by adding semicolon in URl ;sap-ext-sid=..

[Former Member]

Hi,

usually we sucessfully start our application with the url....

http://<server>/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<application_name>/

If we start the application by adding

;sap-ext-sid=1EGXuti7vabNtqU2rukQsg--UQ*4gaGoy758

the application hang up by showing an hourglass and currently refreshing the screen.

It also does not work if we simple add an semicolon ; like

http://<server>/..../<application_name>/;

Thanking you for your answers in advance!

Hi,

We faced the same problem on our development portal, and I saw that the problem on the URL was the external session identifier (sap-ext-sid). We resolved it by activating the service on SICF default_host/sap/option. I hope that helps.

We encountered a similar problem and resolved it by activating SICF service tree <default_host>/sap/bc/gui.

Certainly ensure SICF service <default_host>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui is activated.

Hello Reinhold,

sap-ext-sid is not a parameter, but an extension to the URL, which is SAP internal. Don't use it. There can be

very, very serious side effects (especially with this one). URL parameters either start with & or ?.

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

I do not explicitly use the ";" for passing arguments.

";" is used by the portal to navigate to the ess application. By all of the ESS abap application this is no problem, except this one.

Any further ideas???

do you have workaround?

Hi Reinhold,

today I got the same problem. Searching for a solution I found SAP note 1107186. In my case the problem was solved.

With best regards,

Hi,

the Webdynpro Application is integrated in an EP.

By navigating in the portal to the application I got this error. I found out, that the portal calls the application by adding a semicolon ";".

But other applications are also called by a adding semicolon and they work.

Try using ? (question mark) instead of ; (semicolon)
