Open iView in new window in fullscreen

Hi,
I would like to open an (URL) iView in new window and maximize it size to expand on all the screen. Something like: width=100% height=100%.
Unfortunatly, the window feature properties does not allow this, it only allows passing width and height in pixels.
Does anyone has a solution for this issue? How to open iView in a new window in full-screen.
Thanks in advance,
Aviad

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

still its getting in sam content are plz can u help out ASAP..
ThanQ Vita

Hi Richard,
The property Launch in New Window = Display in Saparate Window should work. Try to assign the iView directly to the role and check. It might also be some cache problem. Try to navigate to System Administration>System Configuration>Navigation Cache.
Clear them and check once again. Hope it might solve your problem.

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

Saurabh

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).

Open iView in new window with no IE nav

Using EP6 SP2:
From the third level navigation, I need to open an iView in a new window. The trick is that I need the new window to not have the standard IE navigation buttons. Basically, window.open("http://my.url.com","toolbar=no").
I cannot figure out how to do this within the standard navigational structure. The url that I am linking to is outside of the portal, but it is using an SSO logon ticket to authenticate.

Write a html page that opens the url like you want it.
Put this html on a km folder and make a km-document iview to it.

I just thought of a better way:
just make an iview to the website and put your options ( fullscreen=yes) in the propertie Window Features

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.

Preview iView / Open iView in new window not properly working

Hello,
I've got a question regarding previewing an iView (by pressing the "Preview" button in its properties) or opening an iView in a new Window by clicking on a button for instance. The problem is that when the window is opened, the iView cannot be displayed and a Portal Runtime exception is thrown, with the message "Cannot find iView" iView: N\A. This is very strange, since sometimes it works, when i test it on a different browser, but even on the same browser on which it works , sometimes it still fails, and displays "Cannot find iView". Does anybody have any clue what this problem can be? Basically it happens most of the time, but sometimes (randomly?) it works. I guess it may be a problem with caching, but i haven't resolved the reason yet. Thanks very much.

Try playing around with the load settings. Specifically, try turning off client-side caching, your browser might be getting confused depending on the kind of iview you are previewing.
A couple of questions:
1. What kind of iview is it?
2. Does it work if you stick it on a page and preview the page?

Open iView in New Window via Link

Hi,
I have created a link that opens an iView within a role:
http://server:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=....
Although, I have set the the iView parameter to Open in Separate Window, it is displayed within the portal content area. How can I achieve that the iView is opened in a separate window?
Thanks.
/Elvez

Hi Elvez,
So you want the user pressing the link, a new browser window opens with the portal, and from that, an additional window opens with the iView?! Hm, if it makes sense for you...
No, EPCM calls of course don't work within an eMail. And the solution you have implemented is the one to go, whether implemented as KM doc or as an iView rendering the JS.
Hope it helps

Opening IView in new Window

Hello SDNers,
I hv a Par IView which on click will navigate to specific internet site.
The IView takes me tht internet site.
However, I want to open the target content in a new window rather opening in a content area or the desktop inner page.
My code goes here like this :
 <a href="http://www.abcd.com"><img src="<%= componentRequest.getWebResourcePath() + "/images/Sampleimage.gif" %>" border="0"></a>
Anybody has an idea on the same ? Please, help me where I went wrong ?
Thanks for your time. Looking forward to your repsonses.
Kind Regards,
RK.

Hi Ravindra,
The portal gives you the opportunity to open an iView in any size window you want (just like window.open, as Preveen mentioned).
First, if you are navigating to the iView from another iView, simply use the EPCM.doNavigate() method with the proper windows features parameter -- see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/26/71c74030308431e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm.
Second, even better, these window features can be supplied in the iView properties, so you can easily set up a DTN where you get your iView in a new window, and the window can be 100 x 200 pixels without and minimize button, or whatever. The properties are under the Navigation category.

Force iView to open in a new window when using NavigationTarget

Scenario - Portal Version 6.0 - NW2004 SP16 - WAS 6.40
A Custom iView is used to gain access to an application running outside of the portal. The user's credentails to the target application are recorded in the portal's UME via user mapping.
I want a user to be able to click a hyperlink to this iView that has been embedded in an email, and have the user gain access to the target application by 'going via the portal'. The url that I use is of the form:
http //<my_portal_server>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://49a8add355f836061e6279f389cdc72e&open=/page&id=100&proc=10067&flag=1
This is working, the user is first taken to the portal's login page, and upon successful login to the SAP portal, user is then directed to the target iView, and is logged in automatically to the target application, and able to use the target application.
>BUT EVEN though the iveiw is configured to open in a new window it does not. It always opens in the main content area, and it always opens in this area in a height of about 40 pixels. The iView properties are set to FULLPAGE.
>If I invoke this iView using the portal's standard built in navigation, it does open in a new window
>It just won't open in a new window when using direct URL to the iView WHY?
How can I get the target iView to open in a new window under all circumstances?
Do I need to pass more information in the URL?
Are there a standard list of URL parameters somewhere that influence the behaviour of the NavigationTarget? I have seen reference to 'context', 'mode' etc but can't find a list of valid parameters?

Search results when accessed always opens in a new window

Hi,
We are using WPC to develop web pages. We have created a Header component that contains the
search option and embedded in the framework so that it is available in all the web pages. An iview has
been created using the Header. The issue we are facing is that whenever the 'Search' button available
on the header is clicked the search results are launched in NEW window rather than within the current
window.
We have made sure that the iView Properties of the Header for "Launch in New Window" options is set
to - "Display in Portal Content Area". But still No luck.
I have also checked for the workprotect mode and it looks fine. Any pointers as to how the search
results can be displayed within the current active window rather than opening in a NEW window? Let me
know if I am missing anything.
We use the EPCM.doNavigate(advancedSearchURL) to launch the search results.

Hi Vijaya
You would have to develop your own property renderer that sets the target to parent instead of blank, and create a property based upon the property renderer, and reference this property in the search result layout set.
The desired functionality cannot be obtained through "normal customization" even though some of the iview properties indicates that.
You can search for the documentation with regards to how to create a custom property renderer.
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

Custom UICommand Opening in a New Window

I have followed the Simple One Step Screenflow tutorial but I have a question as to how I can open the screens in a new window?
For example, if I was to click "My Button", I would like the screenflow to open in a new window instead of within the actual iView.
Is there a good way to do this?
Thanks.

Call iview in new window

Hi.
I am trying to call iview in new windows from other iview.
So, I wrote code this.
<A HREF="myLink"
onclick="return EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/office/iviews/com.hho.newmail_iv',1)">
This is an HTML Link
</A>
When we click Link, new windows opened and displayed iview with portal frame (header, menu).
I want to display iview without portal frame.
Anybody know how to this ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
The EPCM.doNavigate('target') takes several arguments, one of which let's you specify to open in new window.
EPCM.doNavigate('target',2)
0 (or missing): Same window
1: New window without navigation
2: New window (with navigation)
The API is defined as:
EPCM.doNavigate(String target, [int mode, String winFeat, String winName, int history, String targetTitle, String context])
Also u can try this link for more details

Workset opens in a new window??

Hi,
I have created 4 new worksets (Home, PCR, Reports, Status) and assigned pages to these worksets. The workset "PCR" has one page assigned to it and the page contains "Personnel Change Request" iView (this iView is delivered by MSS).
If I navigate between Worksets they open in the same window and that's good, but if I click on workset "PCR" and then click on any other workset they open in a new window???? I would like all the worksets to open in the same window... can someone tell me how can I do this? Is there a configuration that needs to be done?
We are on ERP 2005.

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
