RSBBS Web Address jump to iView using same window.

Question

Hi,
I’m trying to use a RSBBS Web Address (Report-Report Interface RRI, Jump to Target, Report Goto link) to jump to a portal iView. This works fine except that it opens the iView (with portal header and detailed navigation) in a new window. This is not what we need. We wish to jump to the target iView within the same browser window while retaining the portal header and detailed navigation (updated to the place where the iView is located in the Navigation).
I’ve tried coding the jump to using Javascript command SAPBWSetOpenerUrl. This opens the target iView in the same browser window but unfortunately also opens a duplicate Header and Detailed Navigation in the Content Area. This means that the Header and Detailed navigation is repeated (duplicated) every time a jump is called. This is not what we would like.
How is it possible to setup a Jump to Web Address and open the iView in the same browser window without being contained within the content area? Is there a way to “break out” of the Content Area Frame and update the entire page?
Any help on this is very much appreciated.

Hi,
With JavaScript function EPCM.doNavigate, it is possible to code in the sending report
web template an additional link in the context menu pointing to a portal iView.
This runs the target web template and query.
So far, I've only managed to successfully pass one characteristic into the target report.
Here follows example code:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var dim = "0COMP_CODE";
SAPBWAddToMenu("Portal Navigation with Parameter","myMenuProcessor","1","
CHARACTERISTIC_VALUE",dim,"X","BOTTOM","","");
function myMenuProcessor(parameter,cell_type,filter,parameter1,parameter2,item,dataprovider,x,y)
{ switch (parameter) {
case "1":
parent.EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/com.ericsson.Ericsson/com.ericsson.BW/
com.ericsson.Pages/com.ericsson.wpf_fin_sox/com.ericsson.wpp_fin_sox_12008&
DynamicParameter=FILTER_IOBJNM%3D' + dim + '%26FILTER_VALUE%3D' + parameter1);
break;
</SCRIPT>
The characteristic being passed is this example is OCOMP_CODE.
The string "ROLES://portal_content/com.ericsson.Ericsson/com.ericsson.BW/
com.ericsson.Pages/com.ericsson.wpf_fin_sox/com.ericsson.wpp_fin_sox_12008"
is the full path to the
target iView as found in the portal role containing the report.
DynamicParameter contains the characteristic object name and filter value being
passed into the target report.
Hope this explains it for you.
If you can get the function to send more than one characteristic then please let me
know because I would like to do this as well.
best regards, Matthew
