Not closing popup window with firing Exitplug

Question

Hi Friends,
Could you please help me in resolving below webdynpro issue.
With a button (SAVE) click on 1st webdynpro application, Iu2019m calling a confirmation popup window using CREATE_POPUP_TO_CONFIRM method ("Data has been saved" is the message in the popup window). Then with the OK button on confirmation popup window, Iu2019m calling the EXIT plug to go to another webdynpro application
Issue is: If I execute this webdynpro application in Enterprise Portal then the confirmation popup window is not getting closed even after reaching to the 2nd webdynpro.
But If I execute direct webdynpro URL, confirmation pop is getting closed and there is no issue.
CODE:
Code for SAVE button action: Here Im calling the confirmation popup window.
    DATA: lt_text TYPE string_table.
    DATA: mr_popup_window TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
pop a confirmation window for display purpose

          l_cmp_api        TYPE REF TO if_wd_component,
    l_window         TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
    l_cmp_api        = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
    l_window_manager = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
    APPEND 'Data has been saved' TO lt_text.
    CALL METHOD l_window_manager->create_popup_to_confirm
      EXPORTING
        text           = lt_text

      EXPORTING
        button      = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
        action_name = 'ON_SUCCESS_OK'
        action_view = view_controller.

>Exit plugs do not work in a portal environment.
This is a good point that I feel silly for not remembering...
You can check if your application is running in the portal using the IF_WD_APPLICATION->GET_CLIENT_ENVIRONMENT method
  lo_api_componentcontroller = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
  lo_api_application = lo_api_componentcontroller->get_application( ).
  l_client_environment = lo_ap_application->get_client_environment( ).
if it is - then you can use the IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION interface
lo_portal_integration = lo_api_componentcontroller->get_portal_manager( ).
and the you can use the IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION methods to navigate eg - NAVIGATE_ABSOLUTE
call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
    exporting
      navigation_target   = 'ROLES://portal_content/blah/test_URL'
      navigation_mode     = if_wd_portal_integration=>co_show_inplace
If you're navigating in the portal you should probably have iViews set up for the apps you are calling, but it is possible to create a pass-through iView which will redirect to a URL passed as a parameter.

  data lo_api_component  type ref to if_wd_component.
  data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
  data lt_params type wdy_key_value_list.
  data ls_param type wdy_key_value.
  lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  lo_portal_manager = lo_api_component->get_portal_manager( ).
  ls_param-key = 'forcedURL'.
  ls_param-value = 'http://www.google.com'.
  append ls_param to lt_params.
  call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
    exporting
      navigation_target   = 'ROLES://portal_content/blah/test_URL'
      navigation_mode     = if_wd_portal_integration=>co_show_inplace
      use_sap_launcher    = abap_false
      launcher_parameters = lt_params.
Hope this helps
