ESS - New Window

We have enabled launching HCM F&P by calling the ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE Application in an iview
When we open a Form, and click on the Role Tab, instead of opening in the same window, system is opening a new window.
If we open a WDA screen / WD Java screen this problem is not happening.
Is there any setting which controls this.
We dont have any problem in working with the form, just that when we click on any other link (like Role Tab), it is opening a new window

Hi,
You can set this with Iview property Launch In New Window.

Strange behavior when opening ESS iview in new window

Hi all,
I have a problem that i find very strange. In ESS, when opening a iView in a new window, for some users the link to the ITS service gets corrupt..
An example:
http://XXXXXX:54500/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=pcd%3Aportal_content/com.ericsson.Ericsson/com.ericsson.ESS/com.ericsson.roles/com.ericsson.EP_ESS_HRMS/com.ericsson.personal_information/com.ericsson.previous_employers/com.sap.pct.ess.persinfo.pz28&iview_mode=defaultNavPathUpdate=false&buildTree=false
If you look at this link you can see that the & sign between iview_mode and NavPathUpdate is missing and makes the launch of the iview will fail.
If I use the same link for opening the page in a new window this error does not appear.
I have tried to change the parameters that are passed on but this does not help..
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Max

Has anybody found a solution to this?
We have the same problem when calling BW Reports.

In EP7 Ess, how to remove "open new window" for ESS areapage

Hi all:
   In ESS areapage, there is some tabs for click. When I click it, it open a new window. But I want the content display inside the same content page. These are all standard areapage and worksets.
   How can I reset the "open new window" ?
   My EP version is EP 7 sp9

You can set the workprotect mode on a global level so its used for every user.
Systemadministration -> Systemconfiguration -> Service Configuration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.epcf.loader -> Services -> epcfloader. Set the "workprotect.mode.default". After you have saved the entry. ricght click on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader in the tree menu and choose "administrate". Click on "restart".

New window when clicking on cancel or link in ESS process

Hello,
When I am accessing an ESS scenario (Address for example), and I am changing my address, whenever i click on Cancel or another link (Overview for example), it opens up a new window. When i click cancel i want the current scenario to cancel, and go back to the beginning, not open up a new window. The same goes for clicking on another link. I want that link to open up in my current browser, not a popup.
When I am in the first screen of the scenario, it doesn't open up a new window.
Can anyone tell me if I can change that, or if that's an error?
Gr,
Jaron

Hello Koduru,
you should have a look at the work protect modus settings of the user.

New Window of ESS with Exit button

Hi All,
For all applications in ESS, I am facing astrange issue. I will explain it taking one scenario. I go to the page where I can change the personal data under service Personal Information. Here there is an 'Exit' button. If i click on that, a new Overview page ESS window opens up instead of exiting. This happens with all the services, bet it Leave Request or any.
How can this be stopped?

This is to do with workprotect mode settings.
Read the note 734861
3. Click personalize
4. Click WorkProtect Mode
5. select option what you want
      Use default portal setting
      Protect unsaved data (open page in new window)    >>>>>
      Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)   >>>>>
      Choose action in popup on unsaved data
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/
50fb5066f9db43b3b5d5fc8de0c051/frameset.htm
Also note that
this 'exit' button has been determined not to
work if the application is running in pop-up window. 'Close' button of
popped up browser window can be used to close that window.
This is explained in notes 920003 and 920004.

Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame. Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame? I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this. However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use. (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
Example:
 <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
 <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>

We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin. Made a copy and renamed file. Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no". Uploaded new file in UWL admin. Re-registered systems, cleared cache. Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

Universal worklist task open in new window

Hello
We have an ESS implementation in portal.
In worklist when user clicks on any line item, a task gets triggered. Now this task gets opened in new window which is a standard functionality.
Below is XML which retrieves view for this clicked task,
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000018.SAP_R3" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3" externalType="TS90000018" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="AllMyTrips"/>
 <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~tra"/>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId}"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
But in new window we are not able to see any portal navigation available.
Is there any way that I can get this navigation panel in new window as well.

You can call also pages using the IViewLauncher.
 <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="iview" value="ROLES://portal_content/Fresenius/kabi_nl/Iviews/ESS/Zeitmanagement/com.fresenius.Abwesenheitsmitteilung"/>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId}"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 </Properties>
But why would you want to have the navigation too in a new window ?
That would confuse me as a user to have 2 navigations in 2 windows.
The problem with UWL in general (using a popup) is that after you are finished in the popup,
the task is still there. I get lots of complaints; waiting for EhP3 or 7.3. There should be a instant refresh UWL feature.....

ESS New Payslip

We are at ECC 6.0 EhP4 and Portal EhP1.
We have copied adobe form SAP_PAYSLIP_US and customized for our organization to use in ESS Benefits and Payments. We would like when the user clicks on the Salary Statement to view the form ---the form opens up in a new window. Has anyone done this and if so how did you accomplish?
Thanks,
Joyce

Hi Joyce,
the easiest way is within your Adobe Reader settings - set it so that forms do not open within the browser...
Alternatively - as I'd guess this would not meet your requirement - you could build your own component - based on the standard one, to display the forms.
You'd need to cause the load of the form to launch in a new window rather than displaying in the embedded Adobe form area of the WD app.
You're looking at a reasonable amount of WD Java coding (if you copy the standard app) or a reasonable amount of WD ABAP coding if you want to build one from scratch (you could still use the underlying existing methods/classes to get the data, but you'd have to completely build a new presentation layer.
Copying and changing the standard WD Java app would be simpler - but will take someone with reasonable WD Java knowledge to do it. (not always an easy thing to find).
No simple way to do it I'm afraid (other than the setting in the Adobe Reader that is
Cheeers,

HAP_DOCUMENT in new window

Hi Everyone,
we're currently using ess/mss together with the BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT. We have a requirement from the users where they want the window that displays the document to be a separate window. The BSP application is integrated into the portal. Does anyone know whether this is achievable through config or do we need to change standard/implement something bespoke?
Cheers,
Dion

Hello,
Please check the properties in the iview "Launch in new window"
You will need to create an iview of BSP type and open this iview in a new window with this property seted.
Following are some interesting links.

Iview - back button opens new window

hi,
i have an standard-iview in the portal (ESS-travelmanagement).
when i push the 'back' button in portal OR the 'leave' button from a step in the iview a NEW windows opens. but i don't want that, i want to stay on the same window.
any ideas how to do this ? i have this behaviour only on this one iview.
reg, Martin

Hi Martin,
It looks like the check WorkProtect Popup feature is configured on your portal, that allows us to choose our actions when we are trying to navigate from unsaved object.
By default the mode is set to 1: When you open object for editing, edit the object and navigate to another entry point without saving a new window will open with the new navigated entry point and the original window will stay with the edited object.
To change the default setting or more information please attend to SAP Note 734861 - WorkProtect Mode - Global Settings
The end user can also personalize the WorkProtect mode for his login:
Click on the personalize link in the right up corner of the portal. Navigate to WorkProtect mode tab. Change to mode - open page in same window.
Save changes & Close this window.
Log-off from the portal, re-login and check if the changes are effective.
Hope this helps.

Anagha

How to pen new window while redirecting to a page

Hi,
I have a jsppage 1,jsppage 2 and aspPage. In jsp2 I am getting the
values from jsp1 using request.getParameter("hhhh").Once I get
all values in jsp2 , as soon as I got the values I need to redirect to asp from jsp2.
I don't have any form or any button in jsp2.When I do submit in jsp1,
immediately it has to open asp page in new window. My question is how
I open the asp in new window in this redirection case .....?.
I tried this way but not working ...
WebsiteUtils.sendRedirect(request,response,window.open("ASP page"));
I know if I have submit button in jsp2 I can write a javascriptfunction
to opennew window but here the case is different....
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks

On jsppage1, instead of using a from submit button, you can create abutton and write th onClick as
<input type="button" value="OK" onClick="window.open('jsppage2.jsp','win2');">
Now in Jsppage2.jsp, after doing all the processing, use sendRedirect to call jsppage3.jsp.
Since jsppage2 is never being displayed, page3 will bw the one which will be shown in the new window opened by the name win2 on onClick.
If I have understood your requirement correctly, then this should work for you as I have tried it out.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
- Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
- Report Broken Web Site
- Check for Updates
- About Firefox

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Open iView in new WINDOW for CATW

HI All,
We are on Netweaver2004s and the browser used is either Internet Explorer 7 (Microsoft Vista) or Mozilla Firefox.
Now what I need help on is that I have a link on my page that says "Report Your Time", this link calls the Internet Service CATW via the ITS from my R/3 and opens the TIMESHEET (which is an iView) to be filled in by the user in a new window.
On this TIMESHEET I have a link called as "EXIT" , now after the timesheet is filled and saved, the user should use this "EXIT" link to leave the window. The code behind "EXIT" is so written by SAP that it kills the user's session. But not always and all user's use this "EXIT" link, they generally close the window by browser's (X) close button. This causes the user to get locked in the backend.
So far I have been able to trap the browser's (X) close button and kill the session by using "setOKCode('/nex')". This works fine in I.E 6 (which has no tabs) and if the user closes Mozilla Firefox from the top (X) close button of the browser.
BUT, in I.E 7 and mozilla firefox, when the user clicks on "Report Your Time" link on my page, a new tab opens and the TIMESHEET is displayed on this tab within the same browser window, so after filling and saving the timesheet when the user closes the (TIMESHEET) tab, the session does not get killed and the user gets locked in the backend. Here, if the user had closed the entire browser window by using the the top (X) close button of the browser, instead of just closing the tab containing the TIMESHEET, then his session would have been killed by my code.
This is the code that identifies if the user has clicked on top (X) close button of the browser. But this code does not identify if a browser's tab is closed.
<BODY onbeforeunload="HandleOnClose()">
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function HandleOnClose() {
if (event.clientY < 0) {
event.returnValue = 'Are you sure you want to leave the page?';
In the above I check clientY property of the event object, which is used to set or retrieve the y-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the client area of the window, excluding window decorations and scroll bars.
Is there a way to capture the closing of a browser's tab. A way by which I can trap the event raised when the browser window's tab is closed.
This has to be done via "Java Script" since the code will be placed in the HTML template in SE80.
Kindly help with your expert suggestions
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Aviad,
You could set "fullscreen=yes" (without quotes) for the property called "Window Features" (technical name: "com.sapportals.portal.navigation.WinFeatures") on the navigation element in question (iView or, if existent, surrounding page). Take care, this opens the window without frame and toolbar (closable by ALT-F4).
To get a 100% screen (with toolbar, frame etc), you have to calculate the clients resolution before, using JS for example. So you would need to build a workaround, for example an iView with no output but opening a new window with a certain NavURL as target.
Hope it helps
