Open external URL from Homepage Framework
Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.
Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,
Thanks,

Opening an external URL from the Web UI
Hello,
I want to use the Web UI in order to open an external URL.
I know it can be done easily using JavaScript, but the URL is generated from one of the page controller methods, and I want to open it directly from there.
I know that there's the Window Manager in the Component Controller, that can open popup windows, but none of it's methods receive an external URL.
So how can I open an external URL from the Web UI methods?
Thanks,
Udi.Hi,
you can use the Trnsaction launcher with OP.
in the window you create an OP_X
with the code
data: lv_navigation type ref to if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
lv_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
lv_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZTO_X' ). "runtime you create the TO_X nevigation"
in your implamentation class of the view you add a preotected method OP_TO_X with the code
data:
lr_window type ref to cl_bsp_wd_window.
lr_window = me->view_manager->get_window_controller( ).
lr_window->call_outbound_plug( iv_outbound_plug = 'TO_X'
iv_data_collection = iv_data_collection ).
and you call to that method from the EVENT_HANDLER you want.

To open an external URL from your application
Hello All,
Please guide me in below scenario as I am new to SAP UI5.
I have created a SHELL application with 5 tabs.
We have a requirement where on clicking of a tab in the application it should open an external url. I am using "link" element of sap.ui.commons library. On press of link to action function I am using below code to open external url content.
location.href = "http://google.com";
It is opening in the same tab but I have been navigated away from my application.
As per the requirement external url content should be opened without navigating away from my application.
I am attaching the screenshot.
Thanks

Navigate to external URL from secured APEX server
NOTE I am using the internal Oracle APEX server to host my application, so it may be possible that you will have to be an Oracle employee with the same access, or using a similar setup, in order to respond. Even if you are not, if you feel inclined to "take a swing" at it, keep this in mind.
Hi all,
I am using the internal APEX server at oracle to host an application (Application Express 4.0.2.00.07). I have other, NON-APEX applications hosted on other servers within the Oracle firewall.
On page 0 of the APEX application (which, as you may know, usually displays as the "header" section of every other page in the application) I have created a select list of the other projects and their associated URLs as well as a "Go" button, so users that want to navigate to the other applications can do so from this application. Since page 0 does not seem to allow the creation of standard branch items (please correct me otherwise), I have created a process on that page triggered by the "Go" button. The process currently contains the following code:
begin
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript">
window.open (:P0_PRODUCT_PAGES); <!-- :P0_PRODUCT_PAGES being the URL of the selected non-APEX application -->
</script>');
end;
That code currently replaces the existing page with a blank page and the associated URL is "https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept". I am assuming this means that APEX was looking for an application ID and/or page and did not get it so it "stopped" at this page.
I am unaware if there are any settings on the APEX server, DB,or associated web server preventing me from navigating outside of APEX once I am running the hosted application.
I would like to launch another properly-sized (default) browser window rather than replace the existing window pointing to the URL for the selected application.
I have also tried using the owa.util code to try to generate the proper URL but was likewise unsuccessful.
NOTE: I am not looking for different ways to do this by changing server parameters, settings, etc. since I do not have server rights to do this. Additionally, due to time constraints, I would prefer not to be drawn in to a discussion of the comparisons and/or benefits of owa.util or javascript over the other for navigating to an external URL from within APEX, etc. (I'm not trying to be a "punk", but I AM under the gun to resolve this with very limited time). In light of this, please indicate if you have a working option to do this under similar conditions that I can implement quickly. I have done much research within the forums and Googled extensively for information from outside sources but have not yet found something that will provide the proper results.
If you are an oracle employee and wish to contact me directly, please email me at [email protected]
Crossing my fingers and hoping someone has done this before.
Many thanks in advance; your useful contribution will actually contribute to lessening the world's INSOMINA factor considerably (mostly mine). ;)>

Opening a URL in a new tab or window has to happen in the browser, without submitting the page. The server doesn't know about browser windows. Use:
onchange="window.open(this.value);" in the HTML Form Element Attributes property of <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> (making the "Go" button unnecessary), or, if the "Go" button is required to match the LAF:
onclick="window.open($v('P0_PRODUCT_PAGES'));"in the button Attributes property, ensuring the button is a template button including the <tt>#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#</tt> substitution string, e.g.
<input type="button" value="#LABEL#" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# />Ensure that absolute URLs are used in the <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> where necessary, specifying the correct scheme for the site, so that you are not trying to go to <tt>{noformat}https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/www.google.com{noformat}</tt> for example:
f?FOO:BAR:&APP_SESSION. // other APEX app hosted on apex.oraclecorp.com sharing the same authentication scheme
https://foo.oraclecorp.com // other secured internal site
http://www.google.com // unsecured external site -
Link to external URL from flash site
Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash
site without having the flashplayer prompt you to change your
settings and allow access to that page? (this only applies to swfs
viewed through a browser)
the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you
have to put a small xml file on the host server where the page you
want to link to is located. i seriously doubt every site you want
to link to will allow you to put an xml file on their host server
just so you can link to their page. the code in the xml file just
tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access is safe.
it's called crossdomain.xml
anyone have an answer?
thanks!This question was answered by kglad, on Saturday, August 11,

Answer
no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone. -

Do view life time and view recent property apply for external URL from crawling?
Hi All,
I wonder that do viewlifetime count and viewrecents apply for the external URL from the crawler?
I saw it does work for local SharePoint URL but not too sure for the external URL.
And in that case, is it possible to sort the search result by viewlifetime/viewrecent for both Local SharePoint Sites and External Site from crawler?
Best Regards,
AndyHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use viewliftime and viewrecent property when crawing external URL.
Per my knowleage, the viewlifetime and viewrecent property does not apply for external URL from crawling.
In my environment, I can edit the refinement panel in search center page to display viewlifetime and viewrecent when I crawl SharePoint Sites.
However, when I crawl external site, in the search center page, I cannot get any information about the result items.
Here is a great blog about how to crawl external site for your reference:

This problem only started recently.
Opening another web page (URL) from my homepage always opens in the same tab and the "go back one page" button is gray and does not work. If I open a series of web pages in the same tab the green "back" button is green. Clicking on the "recent pages" down arrow will allow me to go back, but only to the page after the home page.
In other words, after browsing, I can get back to the opening page (my home page) only by clicking on the house icon but not by using the "recent pages" function.
Is there an option that changed after the last update?Do you see any tab history if you right click the Back or Forward button?

Issue in opening an URL from UI
Hi Experts,
When clicking button in an assignment block of campaign screen, it should open an URL (SRM screen) in new window.
I have written the following code in htm page inside script tag.
window.open("lv_url").focus();
lv_url is obtained from the eventhandler onclick.
First time, when I click on the button, the URL is opened in the new window successfully. If I close that window (SRM screen),
and click on the button again, it is executing the code window.open but not opening a new window. Please help.
Thanks,
RamyaHi Ramya,
The problem is with the window handler. That is the window handler doesnt terminate even when you manually close the new window and so when attempting to open a same url it doesnt show up.
One solution is to generate a guid and pass it with the url so that the url will differ (since the guid differes the url will not be the same). Check the below sample code,
<%
CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'
IMPORTING
EV_GUID_32 = lv_guid.
CONCATENATE 'guid=' lv_guid INTO lv_query.
CALL METHOD cl_crm_web_utility=>create_url
EXPORTING
iv_path = lc_path
iv_query = lv_query
iv_absolute = lc_flag
iv_in_same_session = lc_flag
iv_server_object = server
iv_no_cookie = 'X'
RECEIVING
ev_url = lv_url.
%>
<scirpt language="javascirpt">
window.open(' <%= lv_url %> ');
window.close();
</script>

Hi,
I'm running a servlet and wants to open a URL for a file, how do I do that ?
(To get the same effect as if I open the file from a browser)
thanks in advance..
..Per
If you mean to read the contents of a URL, then see URL.getConnection. If
you mean to download a file to a browser, then search this newsgroup for
"download".

Open external URL in event Button.
Hi experts,
I have created a Button in Web Client that call an RFC. Later depending on response, It should open an external URL (e.g http://www.google.es).
I don't know how I can open a new link with abap code in the event.
Anyone knows it?
Thanks.Hi,
In the code where you defined the button use JS
ls_button-on_client_click = 'javascript:window.open ("http://www.google.es","Google","width=750,height=600,resizable=yes");Google.focus()'.

How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?
I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.Hi, ecoulyn,
You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
of the Jump button.
The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
.chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
when the Jump button is clicked.
