Open Catalog in a new Window

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a custom Transaction, in that I m calling BBP_WS_CALL FM to call a catalog, but it is opening in the same page in the ITS, I want the catalog to open up in a separate window like it does in the standard functionality.

Thanks in advance.....

Hi,

Maybe add the value top to the importing parameter IVCATALOGTARGET?

hey robin... i tried that also... but still it is opening it in the same window...

If u see the standard program also.. there also this FM is called with just one input para the Catalog ID... dont know how it created a new internal explorer pop-up window and opens the vendor catalog in that window...... ?

Try calling the catalog from the config - Defin External webservices - here define it in Standard call structure. It should open the catalog in a new window.

Hi Devi,

I didnt get u ... i am calling the catalog with the function module: BBP_WS_CALL and passing just the Catalog ID....

can you please give some explanation on how to call it from external webservices ???

[robin_janke]

In standard you have the extra parameter "~caller" with value _top, so if you define that in "define external webservices" for the catalog that you have maintained there, in transaction SPRO, you might have more luck.

All settings are there in the SPRO .. no problem with settings guys....

Problem is how to connect to vendor site ....

as i told the FM WS_CALL... is working through the SRM PORTAL.... but when i execute the same custom transaction through SRM SAP it doesnt open the vendor;'s site.. for that i think we need to create some internet explorer window... or some HTMP_PAGE.... to open the vendor;s site in SRM SAP also..... ???

any hints.....????

In the standard ITS page there is a javascript function that's called, namely window.open.
