Application Help Link

We try to overwrite the application help link as described in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/44/336208da18060be10000000a155369/frameset.htm">help_sap_com</a> (see code below).
However, the line <b>application_info->set_help_link</b> does not work since the class does not have the method. Has anybody already used this?
Code from help.sap.com
method onactionchange_appl_helplink .
data api_main2        type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
data component        type ref to if_wd_component.
data application      type ref to if_wd_application.
data application_info type ref to if_wd_rr_application.
api_main2 = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
component = api_main2->get_component( ).
application = component->get_application( ).
application_info = application->get_application_info( ).
application_info->set_help_link( 'HELPTYPE=SAPHELP&_LOIO=452C8201E9EF48D882BD10244D085661&_CLASS=BIC_OOO' ).
endmethod.

Hi,
which SP do you have? SET_HELP_LINK should be there in the newer support packages.
Regards, Heidi
PS: Check SAP Note 1002520, that should do the trick...

Application Help Link Ignored

Hi all,
Does anyone have any ideas why the following is happening:
Clicking a link in our application (which runs in Air) should
open a URL in a web browser (the Help application), but nothing
happens. The browser does not even open up to display a message.
If our application is running in a web browser the link opens
the Help up with no problems.
Has anyone else come across this problem before?
Any ideas?
Thanks

If the link is in HTML code, it depends on how you've set up
the HTMLLoader object that is displaying the page containing the
link.
You should look at the HTMLHost object assigned to the
HTMLLoader. (This seems the most likely culprit since, unless you
set this correctly you will get no behavior on clicking a link.)
You must also set navigateInSystemBrowser to true to get
links to open in a web browser.

Application help not connecting to SAP

Hi all,
When i click on the help->Application help link, i am not able to see the help documentation. That is, my sap system is not getting connected to application help.
Please help me...
Thanks...

Hello Madhukar,
well - did you configure the help?
Have a look at transaction sr13, there you can see whether anything was done.
You can find a description what to do at http://help.sap.com.

Portal w/SAP GUI; Help -- Application Help causes all windows be destroyed

Hello All -
I have a user who has portal windows (IE) open in the portal, multiple sessions. When he has a SAP GUI transaction in the application content area and selects the SAP GUI 'Help' --> 'Application Help' link, all the session windows are closed, and the primary goes to SAP help.
This destroys what the user was working on.
My computer does not do this, even when that user is logged in on my computer.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Your requirements are not 100% clear. In your message you say you are looking for SNC between SAP GUI and SAP ABAP, but the help page you posted a link for is not related to this, but explains how to use SNC for CPIC.
If you are looking to use SNC for authenticating users of SAP GUI to SAP ABAP, then you have a number of options. If your SAP ABAP server is on Windows then SAP have a library which can be obtained for no cost to give you basic SSO using Active Directory authentication (aka Kerberos). If your SAP application server is on Unix or Linux, then you can look on SAP EcoHub for third party SAP certified products which provide this functionality. SAP have also just launched a new product which has some functionality for SAP GUI SSO, but this is not free.
Please let me know if you have any more questions or need clarification.
Thanks,
Tim

The Help Link from the Application Pages Does not Work for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0

Hi everyone.
I have a problem, I have been trying to set up the Help Link from the Application Pages for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0 according to the instructions given in the Document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf , (referenced in the Doc ID 1289101.1, E-PB: How to Set Up the Context Sensitive Help with Hosted PeopleBooks using Universal Linking).
I follow the instructions of that document carefully:
I go to: PeopleTools -> Web Profile -> Web Profile Configuration
    2. Then I choose the Web Profile: "Development".
    3. Then Change the value for the Help URL field by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5 , the ctx parameter selected is the one that correspond to the Campus Solutions (hrcs90r5) according to the Product Line Code Table (ULinkID) especified in the mentioned document.
    4. Stop the Web Domain and Clear cache.
    5. Start the Web Domain again.
After setting up the Web Profile Configuration I test the help links, thas is why I click in the Help link in any Peoplesoft CS 9.0 Application Page (modify a person), but the next error message appears: "We're sorry, the topic you requested was not found.".
I tried many combinations with the ctx parameters URL but it does not work yet.
I did the same test, but this time using the Help URL field with a HRMS ctx parameter by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hcm92pbr5 , and It works fine !!!
According to the previous test you realize that It works with HRMS ctx parameter but not with Campus Solutions 9.0 ctx parameter, Does anybody know what else can I do ? Am I doing anything wrong or missing? or maybe the Oracle's ctx parameter for Campus Solutions URL It is broken simply.
Thanks for you help and feedback.

2799444 - The page you are testing with appears to be a Workforce Administration page. Is that correct?
The CS PeopleBooks would only work for CS pages, e.g.: try navigating to Main Menu > Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person
Also, you can use multiple ctx parameters:
E.g.: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5&ctx=hcm92pbr5&ctx=pt852pbh2
This way the help would work for the HR related pages like Workforce Administration, Campus Solutions pages like Campus Community and also PeopleTools pages like Web Profile Configuration. Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks!

Best practice for application help for a custom screen?

Hi,
The system is Netweaver 7.0 SP 15 with e-recruiting .
We have some custom SAP GUI transactions and have written Word documents with screen prints and explanations. I would like to make the procedure document accessible from the custom transaction or at least provide custom help text that includes a link to the full documents.
Can anyone help me out with options and best practices for providing customized application help for custom SAP GUI transactions?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hello Margaret,
sorry I though you might be still in a design or proof of concept phase where the decision for the technology is still adjustable.
If the implementation is already done things change of course. The standard in-system documentation is surely not fitting your needs as including screenshots won't work well.
I would solve the task the following way:
I'd make a web or pdf document out of the word document and put it on a web ressource - as you run e-recruiting you have probably the possibility for that.
I would then just put a button into the transaction an open a web container to show the document.
I am not sure if this solution really qualifies as "best practise" but SAP does the same if you call the Help for application in the help menue. This is implemented in function module SAPGUIHC_OPEN_HELP_CENTER. I'd just copy it, throw out what I do not need and hard code the url to call.
Perhaps someone could offer a better solution but I think this works a t least without exxagerated costs.
Kind Regards
Roman

Web Dynpro ABAP: Documentation and help link

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and was wondering whether you can maintain Documentation for the application, as you would a standard ABAP report? I see the Documentation option in the Goto menu of the workbench, but it is inactive.
Also, i notice you can maintain a 'Help Link' for the application. Does anyone have any information on this as I can't find anything on the SAP Help website.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
here's the link to the corresponding documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/54/bad1d244b2754bac09ae1558c15984/frameset.htm
If you choose the Change/Edit button at the right side of the input field, you can navigate to the info object to which you want to set the link in the Knowledge Warehouse.
Of course, you need an info object in the correct context in the KW for this as well as a correctly maintained RFC destination to the Knowledge Warehouse system.
Regards, Heidi

Please help me !
Thanks & Regards,
Gowtham.A

Hi Gowtham.A,
Did you set up the system object in the System Landscape Directory on the portal? Then did you configure the webflow connector in the UWL Administration?
Please see the following help documentation:
For the setup in the Universal Worklist you will need the following:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e5/fc550f79ed4131a63c540cddbfe7be/content.htm
You will need this for the Abap Webdynpro Action Handlers setup...ensure you read the area about SWFVISU setup:

Help Links in HCM Forms and Process

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement where we need to open a pop-up window when user clicks on help link on
Adobe forms . For this, we have created a Web dynpro Application and whatever application URL we are getting
We are passing to the Help Link UI element like below.
app.launchURL(URL, true);
when user clicks on the help link that webdynpro application is opening.
But the issue is user donu2019t want to see these URL bar, tool bar , action bar.
So is it possible to hide these URL bar, tool bar , action bar when the application is launching.
It should launch just as a window. If it is possible please let me know.
Thanks,
santosh

Why are you doing all of that? Why not simply use the "additional info" configuration to supply the needed URLs? In this way, you will NEVER have to modify the forms if/when a URL changes or more are needed. It is simply a configuration change. Also, you can make these links specific to the current user of that form step and still be able to share the SAME form among users (ie. an HR Admin does not care to see "Manager Help Link" on a form that they possibly share with managers from a previous step). You are creating much more of a headache and maintenance nightmare for yourself.
Now, that said.....second question....why in the world are you calling some WDA from the form to then launch a URL??!?!?! You can simply place a URL link on the form. Via script, you can also set the window parameters to tell the URL to launch in a new browser window without any toolbars, status bars, etc. Pretty basic Javascript is all you need....not some complicated WDA app.

Problem with Help Link in search result screen of PCUI

Hi,
I am trying to access the pcui applications that came out of box with crm using BAB,everthing is working fine but got a problem with "Help" link in top right (beside personalize link) the search result area of all the PCUI screens.
when i click on that i get "page cannot be displayed" error, seems that it is pointing to some wrong URL, where should i change the url to point to our company's help site for that link..
clicking on the properties of that link shows that it is pointing to
javascript:CATshowF1(%20'/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_bsp_f1_help/f1help.do?doctype=kw&loio=70B4ED8E03595645A6ABA33B4576BB57&class=IWB_EXTHLP&language=E' );
Please help me in this regard.
Thank you

My response help resolve Kodru's Message which he also posted in EP Implementation Forum. He resolved it by changing the variant noted below.
The link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/EN/70/B4ED8E03595645A6ABA33B4576BB57/content.htm should display Activity Info.
First I would check if the crm_bsp_f1_help service has been activated in SICF.
Secondly I would check the settings in the IMG -> SAP WAS -> Know. Mgt. -> Settings in App. Sys. -> Usage of Help Type "Dynamic Help". The Tab PlainHtmlHttp should have a variant called CRM_HELP, Server Name (help.sap.com) and path.
