Generate SAP Portal URL in ABAP

Question

Hi all
I am faced with a task that involves fetching data from SAP E-Recruiting, and presenting it in an XML document which is indexed by a search engine. The data I extract from E-Recruiting, will be used to display a short listing of available positions in the company on an internal website.
I am able to extract the data, and present it in XML, but the following is a bit more difficult for me.
The challenge is this:
For each position I exctract from E-Recruiting, I need to find a way to generate a complete "portal style" URL. This URL will take users browsing the website, to the E-Recruiting job advertisement in the SAP portal. The SAP Portal will display the complete E-recruiting job advertisement, when the users click a "Read more" link in the short listing.
An example URL is this:
http://<i>server:port</i>/sap(bD1lbiZjPTUwOCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_req_dovr/application.do?BspClient=508&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpID=0003&PARAM=UE9TVF9IUk9CSkVDVD0wMU5DNTAwMDExNTQ%3d
I need to do this in "regular" ABAP / ABAP OO programming, not BSP or something like that. Is there some function module that will do this for me? I collect all my information from the tables HRP51* (i.e. HRP5122).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Thomas K

Answer 1

the example url you have given is not portal url
An example URL is this:
http://server:port/sap(bD1lbiZjPTUwOCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_req_dovr/application.do?BspClient=508&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpID=0003&PARAM=UE9TVF9IUk9CSkVDVD0wMU5DNTAwMDExNTQ%3d
its a bsp url.
if you want to generate bsp url you can use the following method from your abap program
DATA:  params TYPE tihttpnvp.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa_params> LIKE LINE OF params.
fill params table with other url parameters you want
like BspClient=508
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO params ASSIGNING <wa_params>.
    <wa_params>-name = 'BspClient'.
    <wa_params>-value = '508' .
CALL METHOD
      cl_http_ext_webapp=>create_url_for_bsp_application
      EXPORTING
        bsp_application      = 'HRRCF_REQ_DOVR'
        bsp_start_page       = 'application.do'
        bsp_start_parameters = params " other url params
      IMPORTING
        local_url            = url.
if this bsp is running inside portal as an bspiview and you want to reach this iview directly from a url then the url is different , it is basically the path of the iview in the Portal Content Directory
Hope this helps.
