Launch an url

I have a need to launch an url from a ALBPM activity. Is there any way to do this?
For example, let's say I want to open http://www.google.com/ in a new window outside of ALBPM. How do I do this in Fuego code?
TIA.

There´s another two ways:
1. You can create a process method, for example, openURL with the following PBL code:
InternetBrowser.open("http://www.google.com")
2. In a BPM Object Presentation, include a "hyperlink" element and in its properties, set the link to "reference" type and specify an attribute.
Then, before calling the Presentation, set the attribute referenced on the hyperlink with the URL you want to open.
In both examples, the engine will open a popup with the URL (it uses the javascript openwindow)

  • How to setup a forms function in R12 to launch an URL?

    Hi All,
    In 11i we could create a forms function of the type "SSWA plsql function" to launch a html page from the menu.
    How is that supposed to work in R12?
    So my question is, how to setup a forms function to launch an URL like www.oracle.com in R12?
    thanks,
    thierry

    Hi, first set the Profile 'Restricted Text Input' to 'No' for your User.
    Then create a form function like below:
    Functional Administrator > Core Services > Function > Create (button)
    Name: XX_GOOGLE
    Code: XX_GOOGLE
    Type: SSWA jsp function
    Maintenance Mode Support : none
    Context Dependance: Responsibility
    (press continue button)
    HTML Call: javascript:void window.open("http://www.google.com")
    Leave other fields blank
    Add to HR_EMPLOYEE_DIRECT_ACCESS_V4.0 menu:
    500 XX Google XX_GOOGLE
    This will pop up your external webpage in a new window.
    The issue is that it only works from the Navigator framework page (not from within Core Forms)

  • Can't launch an URL with a .pdf extension fron 7.0.1 as i could in earlier version 3.5.x?

    The website target is dropbox.com. One can access a saved pdf file
    directly using the format:
    dropbox.com/u/1536975/Schedule_2011.pdf
    where the all numeric is a filename. This worked from version
    3.6.3 but not in 7.0.1 . When l try to launch the URL, FF momen-
    tariley starts to process it then stops. There is no further action on it by FF and it continues to run normally.

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • Transaction launcher for url in new window need "Back" to continue working

    Hello Experts,
    In the CRM I've created a Transaction Launcher for url, when I press on the link and open it in new window
    I got the following message:     "The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on. "
    how do I can still open the url ( which is BSP page)  in new window & can continue working with CRM without clicking on the Back button ?
    Thanks

    Have you solved the problem, Jamil?
    Hi Experts,
    I am also facing the same problem.
    The other possible solution I am thinking of calling the pop up window and then close the pop up.
    I don't know how can we call custom bsp page from view in pop up window. And then close the same pop up without asking user to click on any button.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Transaction Launcher - External URLs

    Hello,
    I've created a link to an external URL using transaction launcher and the actual link itself works fine, but I have a couple small issues that I'd like to fix if anyone has any advice:
    First, I have it set to launch the URL in a new window, and the window pops up behind the Webclient.  Is it possible to have it pop up on top?
    Second, once the user clicks this link, in the webclient itself, they're taken to a screen that says:
    The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
    ...and then they have to click the back button to return to the screen they were on before they clicked the link.  Does anyone know how to keep the web client on whatever screen the user was already on and just launch the link in a new window without having it navigate anywhere else?
    Thanks!

    Hi TOM,
    If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
    1) Use Transaction Launcher
    2) Use PopUp Window.
    1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
    2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen .  However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
    to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use  tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
    I have done this to open a dotNet application through web ui and it works excellently !!
    Hope its helpful.
    Thanks & Rregards
    Suchita
    PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

  • Launch a URL in new tab on click of a button

    Hi All,
    I am currently launching a URL from R3 on click of a button on a screen. When I click on the button the second time it lauches the URL again, but opens it in a new window. I am using IE8 to open the URL's. What i wanted to know, is there any way where I can launch the URL in the same IE8 window, but in a  different tab i.e. instead of opening two IE8 windows, launch one window with two tabs.
    Any help would be useful.
    Thanks.
    Sneha.

    Hello sneha!
    As far as I know there isn't an HTML TAG to do that. In CSS3 there is a property 'target-new' that can be used
    [target-new property|http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-hyperlinks/#the-target-new]
    but I'm not sure if IE8 implements this feauture.
    The only easy solution I see is to configure the IE8 to open all the links in a new TAB instead of a new window.
    Open IE8 then go to "Tools" menu -> "Internet options" then in the "Tabs" section click on "Settings" and Select
    "When links from other programs in:"  "A new tab in the current window".
    You can do the same with the :
    "When a pop-up is encountered" "Allways open pop-ups in a new tab".
    Best Regards.

  • How to launch a URL in Web UI?

    I tried to use ls_button-on_client_click event by adding a java script open("' lv_url '", "_blank"); to open a new window. it works find in a button bu tin the 'More' button this does not work.
    Can anybody give me some advice?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Anders

    Hi Anders,
    You can check this thread, to see how we can launch a URL onclient click.
    Re: URL call in CRM2007 web IC
    You can also search in the forum, seems I have answered it many times.
    One important thing to note: URLs launched using this method have no connection to Web UI running, they working of the pop up cannot be controlled from UI once launched.(as per my understanding)
    Even if the button comes under More button, it should work the same way.
    To make the button not come under More, you need to increase the count of visible buttons in method IF_BSP_WD_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK~GET_NUMBER_OF_VISIBLE_BUTTONS or sometimes in the HTML page.

  • Launch an URL within same browser window

    Hi ABAP WebDynproExperts,
    Here is a short scenario description what I want to achieve.
    I have a ABAP WebDynpro Component which has "Input-Parameters" (Parameters of the Inbound-Plug - Default). Within the handledefault Method I want to call one of my own Function module which generates another URL.
    Now I want to launch this URL directly in the same browser window directly without putting the URL on an button. So the ABAP WebDynpro Component/Window/View has no UI elements itself - it should just be used to parse the "importing paramaters" via the url parameters to the backend and executing the URL without user interaction.
    Unfortunately I was not able to find a WD specific method how to call a URL in the same browser window? Do you have any ideas?
    Thank you & kind regards,
    Daniel

    Hi again,
    thanks for that. But that was not what I am looking for. Maybe it is unclear what I need.
    I try to reduce my point:
    Simplified I have the following coding in the implementation of Method "handledefault":
    METHOD handledefault .
       DATA: l_url type string.
       l_url = 'http://www.sap.com'.
    ENDMETHOD.
    I am looking for an ABAP WD command with which I can start this URL in the same browser window?
    Thank & kind regards,
    Daniel

  • Transaction launcher: open URL in new window

    Dear all,
    I know many threads have already been posted about "stateful URL" created with transaction launcher, that open a new browser window AND navigate to an empty screen with the following text (which is more than useless):
    "The requested page has been opened in a new window, please press back button to go back to the last page."
    Carsteen gave some useful hints already in the following thread:
    Transaction Launcher in a new window
    But maybe someone found something new since then... At the moment I'm thinking about "simulating" a clic on the BACK button (like mentioned in this useless message), with something like :
      DATA:
      history TYPE REF TO if_bsp_wd_history_manager_disp.
      history = view_manager->get_history_manager_display( ).
      history->go_back( ).
    Any better idea ?
    Thanks & regards,
    Nicolas Busson.

    Hi Nicolas !
    How are you? :-)
    I assume that since then you have found a way to fix your issue, but as the post is not answered I can tell you that SAP has taken into account this point in SAP 702 EHP1, with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
    Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
    This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
    Use
    If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
    If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
    Dependencies
    This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

  • Launching the URL in the same window

    I have a view with some data and couple of buttons. When i click on a button, an url has to be opened in the same window.
    For that, i have defined an exit plug at the window with an optional url parameter and the on action of the button click, i am firing the window exit plug by passing the url value in the parameter.
    When i click on that button i got the exception like " URL parameters specified for an exit or suspend plug, but no URL specified
    Can anyone suggest ?

    Hi,
             If ur launching URL of other Web Dynpro Component,
    U can do this way... For example Comp-A  and Comp-B ( URL)
    Emdeb the Comp-B in Comp-A by using component usages.
    1.In the view of Comp-A..suppose iam having a Button.Place a  View Container in the same View
    2. Create an out bound Plug For View of Comp-A.
    Go To Window OF Comp-A.
    1 . Right Click to Embed,u will find the Comp-B's interface View , embed that one  into View Container of the Comp-A
    2 .Maintain  Navigatin Link From Out-Bound Plug Of the View to Default Plug of the Comp-B's interface View .
    ON Action Of the Button.Fire that out Bound Plug of the view

  • How do I launch a URL based on a drop down selection?

    I would like to launch a webpage based on an item selection from the user.   Scenario:  User selects a brand of shoes from a dropdown menu.  A webpage is opened for that brand of shoes.  I will have the dropdown list link
    to a table containing shoe brands and urls.  I haven't found a way to script the launching of the url based on the user's selection.  Thank you for your help.

    Hello,
    I made you a little outline Siena App you can download on
    https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FF0485C313407260%215627 (source included)
    Based on a dropdown, it filters a gallery with a "go there" button. That should allow you to get some small description, image or data before leaving your app for the site.
    Please let me know if you can't download it. I assume that this is what you are looking for.

  • Launch Webi URL for a specific Instance

    Hi,
    Is there a way I can Launch a specific Instance of Webi from Xcelsius? Is so can someone tell me what would be the syntax to include in the URL.
    Thanks!
    Sam

    Hi Sam
    Do you mean a specific instance of a WebIntelligence report? 
    If so look at using the &sInstance URL parameter.
    openDocument.jsp?iDocID=346&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sInstance=xxxx
    xxxx can be User (the last instance owned by the user), or Last (the latest instance of the report), or Param (link to instance based on the parameters given)
    Alternatively each instance is just a doc and so has a unique Doc Id, so you could just link to that Doc id directly.
