hyperlink to launch a Web template SAP BI 7.0 from BO infoview

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I created an hyperlink to launch a Web template SAP BI 7.0 from Business Object Infoview.

When I execute this hyperlink, a connection window appear for SAP logon. I fill my login and password then valid.

The next window is a standard one displayed when loading is in process. The issue is that I am blocked on this window. It looks like there is an auto-refresh process. The problem doesn't appear when I create an hyperlink based on a SAP BW 3.5 Web Template.

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

Regarding the solution to launch BI 7.0 iViews from InfoView hyperlinks:

The issue in your case is that Application Integration is expecting that the main frame which is calling them is owned by NetWeaver and by this they are expecting some properties in Java Scrips which are not available in an simple iFrame.

Fortunately there is a documentation for integration of SAP NW iViews into IBM Web Sphere which is accessible also for you:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/ docs/library/uuid/4a3addc4-0501-0010-bfbb-9cdd29581adf

In this scenario you need to modify a bit your portal.

please look at the point 4.2 + 4.2.1.

• Important:

Please restart the portal and follow the description from the document. Especially you need to start the portal using this new interop link.

The document is fro IMB Web Sphere, but should fit to all external portals which are accessing SAP NW from outside.

You"ll need to specify a different link in order to launch the BI query since we would like to utilize the new URL alias

that you've defined in the web.xml file which is called 'interop'.

Then Whenever you enter the portal with the URL http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal/interop, the portal works in

nested mode and changes its internal JavaScript references.

The new link should be (for example):

http://://<host>:<port>/irj/portal/interop?NavigationTarget=pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iV

iews/com.sap.ip.bi.bex&QUERY=SJL_TEST&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X&DUMMY=1

I hope this new link will work when launched from the Infoview. But also if it does work you will see the entire portal environment(top level navigation, detailed navigation etc) so you will need to create a new portal desktop that is assigned only to portal URL alias 'interop'. The new desktop will include a copy of the default framework page but the only unhidden part will be the portal content area - all other parts should be marked as hidden.

Please take the following steps and if he needs any more help he can open a ticket on AI component.

Hello,

We had exactly the same issue on our project.

We use BO XI 3.1 and SAP support gave us a workaround solution modifying hyperlink's URL. Now, our queries are launched through SAP portal.

Exemple :

http://<server>/irj/portal/interop?NavigationTarget=pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/...

Otherwise, SAP did several modifications on our portal to permit a clean display of our queries

==> SAP contact who found a workaround :

Ehud Felus,

Portal Development Support.

SAP did not found a final solution to this issue...

Hope this help.
