Transaction Launcher by code

Hi There,
I need to execute a Transaction Launcher by code in order to automate a process.
I would like to know if it is possible to execute a pre-configured Transaction Launcher from ABAP instead of launch it from the ICWC Navigation Bar.
I would like to know also if it could be possible to execute a Logical Link ID from the code. In this way I can execute the TL calling it by the Logical Link ID.
Thanks.
Regards,
Carlo.

Hi,
what type of lr_navigation variable u have defined.
if should be...
Check ur code once again..
data lr_navigation type ref to IF_CRM_UI_NAVIGATION_SERVICE.
lr_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
CHECK lr_navigation IS BOUND.
lr_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'Logical Link Id' ).
Regards
Gaurav

Search help is not working at Transaction Launcher

Hi gurus,
I create a transaction launch that calls a ZXXX t.code from same CRM system.
T.code ZXXX is used to execute a custom report in order to create document from excel file.
Everything is ok, but search help button is not working on web ui.
Search help will open "my computer" pop up. I guess this cause problem. Is there anyone who met this problem before?

Using the transaction launcher to call a BOR method to display a PDF

Hello gurus,
I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
In CRM 4, in the collection factsheet assignment block, the link was coded into an XSLT which is then displayed in the GUI and you would have a clickable link for a pdf file in a row in a table. That link would be as follows:
         <xsl:variable name="ev_key">SAPEVENT:?OBJTYPE=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/OBJTYPE"/>&OBJKEY=<xsl:value-of select="@KEY"/>&LOGSYS=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/LOGSYS"/></xsl:variable>
             <a href="{$ev_key}"></a>
This will get the file in IXOS and display it, in CRM 4. In CRM 7, the link is an icon in every line of an assignment block.
Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block and have it open? If so, how? Transaction launcher, function modules (like ARCHIVOBJECT_DISPLAY) in the OPTA package? (the package for all IXOS related function modules..)
2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system?? or sapevent:xxx?
3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched with the attributes listed there? Do we have to link it to any classes/ objects?
4) Do we have to have the code to the logical link dynamically to call the right PDF for each table line? Is it right to put this code in my event handler?? Usually transaction launchers are just in the nav bar.....
5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG for the transaction launcher, and have the attributes defined for my BOR object that I would call, and pass it different attributes (eg. objtype, objkey, logsys...) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. (There is a BOR method for my BOR object named 'display_pdf'!!!!)
What do you think would be the optimal solution here? Does my theory of calling a BOR object with a transaction launcher to display a PDF make ANY sense whatsoever???
Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Any help on this....I am still awaiting the response.
Requirement: My requirement is to launch the SE38 transaction on WEBUI using transaction luncher tool and set the parameter on the selection screen.
Issue: The issue is that I am able to lunch the transaction but unable to set the parameter
Steps Performed:
I want to list down all the steps I performed to launch an SE38 transaction using transaction launcher on the WEBUI
1) Defined logical system in tcode CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS
-The logical link looks like this
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=IC_LTXE&okcode=ICEXECUTE ?sap-client=300
2) Defined URL & paratemeter wherein the request method is "GET", opted for NON-BSP URL
URL link here is
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=SE38&okcode=ONLI
-Note: My selection screen okcode os ONLI*
-The logical system ref is provided here
3) Defined the parameter by giving the screen name like for SE38 selection screen name is "RS38M-PROGRAMM"
4) Configured the transaction launcher of type B - URL type and provided the reference of the URL ID, choose the relevant parameter from the drop down and have hardcoded the value, cheked the box "Save Data in Activity Clipboard
5) Added this in the NAvlink/Bus Role etc
6) Now in the handler class of the TL the code looks like this:
IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW
__gdc ?=
cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( gv_view_controller ).
__value
=
'ZC_TEST'.
add_parameter(
   iv_name =
'RS38M-PROGRAMM'
iv_value = __value ).
However, after performing the above steps I am unable to set the parameter. Please suggest where am I missing out on. An early response would really be appreciated.

Transaction Launcher to call custom transaction

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to call a custom transaction using transaction launcher. I am able to successfully launch the transaction. But i need to pass a value to the transaction.
For eg. If i am calling a custom report transaction which has a selection screen field 'FORMNAME' as a parameter i need to pass the name of the form to the transaction. I am not able to pass that value. Can any one help me onthis.
I have seen all the posts , but could not get any help on how to set the value for custom transaction. I can see how it is done for standard transaction.

IC WebClient transaction launcher

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had used the transaction launcher in the IC web client to call a PCUI application. I have done this following the cookbook and added my own custom code. It works fine except for one small problem, the PCUI app is not maximize so it gives a small usability issue.
Any help on opening the PCUI app in maximize mode would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew

Hi Thirumala,
When you say 'Make sure that you locate the correct action implementation class and make changes correctly', I hope you meant the class that was created by the wizard at the time of PCUI link creation. This class implements IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER' interface and extends CL_CRM_IC_ABOX_ABSTRACT_PCA' superclass.
I have modified IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW method as mentioned in your other thread with the following entry:
me->gv_data_flow_complete = abap_true.
but still no luck...
Please let me know if any other settings/changes required.
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks,
Vsingh..

Parameter BP (CRM to R3) for BOR based transaction launcher

Hi,
Our requirement is to display R3 sales order(VA03) through IC webclient. The BP no of the confirmed business partner should be shown as default in the Sold to party field of VA03 transactn screen.
Steps followed -
1. Created a BOR transaction launcher with 'BUS2032', method - display.
   Selected the Import parameter name - ICWEBCLIENTBORKEYPARAMETER.
   I could not find any Import parameter value corresp to BP number, so left the Import Parameter value as blank.
2. In the trans launcher generated class, method 'PREPARE_DATA_FLOW' added the following code -
CALL METHOD __gdc->get_entity_attribute_as_value
    EXPORTING
      path = '//currentCustomer/BP_NUMBER'
    IMPORTING
      value = lv_bpid.
PASS PARAMETERS TO THE BOR OBJECT FOR PROCESSING IN THE ECC
me->set_container_data(
iv_name = 'RV45S-KUNNR'
iv_value = lv_bpid ).
It launches the VA03 screen but the BP no is not passed to the sold to party field.
Please provide your inputs. Anything helpful would be rewarded.
Thanks,
Akanksha

Hi Jan,
Thanks for this information.
I passed the BP no in 'icwebclientborkeyparameter' and then using the below code in prepare_data_flow method-
me->set_container_object(
   iv_name        = '<MAINOBJ>'
   iv_object_key = icwebclientborkeyparameter
   iv_object_type = gv_bortype ).
But it still doesnt work.
Do i need to create a Z copy of BOR object 'BUS2032' and then do some enhancement in BOR object - display method also?
Regards,
Ak

Transaction launcher not working for custom business role

Hi Experts,
I am facing a very weird problem where the transaction laucher define for BOR transaction is working for one business role(Z business role Customized one) but its not working for other business role (Z business role).
to emphasize further we have the code:-
case ls_attributes-object_type.
    when lc_z23 or lc_z25.
      lv_logical_link = lc_ZITISU.
    when lc_BUS2000115.
      lv_logical_link = lc_ZITERP1.
    when others.
      lv_logical_link = lc_ZITERP2.
endcase.
l_if_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
IF l_if_navigation IS BOUND .
Navigate to transaction launcher using link id
    l_if_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = lv_logical_link ).
ENDIF.
in this the logical link is is lc_ZITISU whenever this BSP application is called from both the business roles but in one the window opens up for BOR transaction whereas when we login again using different business role the code is the same as given above. I mean the sam logical link id is used and navigated to but window is not opening for transaction launcher as it happens for the previous business role.
Request your help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Rajwin

Hi,
I tried by applying the PFCG role id of business role which was working to the business role id of the one for which it wasn't working and then try testing whether the transaction launcher is triggering. But the transaction launcher screen is still not opening even after doing this.
Probably there's something else too which is causing the problem. Request your inputs on this,
Thanks,
Rajwin

Transaction launcher in CRM Web IC

Hi,
We are trying to use transaction launcher in the WEB IC to call an R3 transaction. We have successfully managed in DEV and now we want to move across to QA for transport. But the handler class and config is done for DEV so far. In order to work this in QA, should we create/define the R3 QA system as logical system + RFC in our CRM Dev box and then transport ? Will it be required to be done for Prod as well then from dev? is there any other recommended way of doing this.
Regards,
Vin

Transaction Launcher handler class user mapped logical system to connect to R/3 environment.
I dont think you can transport Logical System,RFC Connections from Dev to QA or QA to Prod.
So before you start testing on QA,make sure that logical system for R/3 is already defined and RFC Connection is established.All you need to do is make sure that mapped logical system is created with the same name you have in DEV.To define the mapped logical system follow the path
Easy Access->Interaction Center->Interaction Center WebClient->Administration->System Parameters->Defined Tx Launcher Log Sys and URL's.This is the easy way without changing your code in Handler Class.
If you have already established a mapped logical system and you dont want to create another then you can do some code change in the below mentioned handler class methods
1. CONSTRUCTOR.
** In the Constructor methos replace the OWNLOGSYS with
** the available mapped logical system in your QA env
property-name =
cl_crm_ic_abox_constants=>mapped_logsys.
property-value = 'OWNLOGSYS'. "#EC NOTEXT
append property to gt_properties.
2. CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR .
** In the Constructor methos replace the OWNLOGSYS with
** the available mapped logical system in your QA env
gv_mappedlogsys =
    'OWNLOGSYS'. "#EC NOTEXT
3.GET_ACTION_DEFINITION .
** In the Constructor methos replace the OWNLOGSYS with
**the available mapped logical system in your QA env
   concatenate cl_crm_ic_abox_constants=>bor_action
              'BUS1006005' "#EC NO_TEXT
              'EDIT' "#EC NO_TEXT
              'OWNLOGSYS' "#EC NO_TEXT
         into rv_result.
The same applicable for QA to Prod too.
Hope this helps.

Transaction launcher, get error Starttransaction is not defined

Hi, I am trying to create a new link in the navigation bar that should call ITS and a customer created transaction in CRM. We have been doing it before and these links are working, but now trying to create another link in the navigation bar, I gets an error
"Starttransaction is not defined". In the Handleclass created with the transaction launcher I gave it the name ZCL_filarkiv. When I did that I got an syntax error "There is a syntax error in class zcl_filarkiv". When I goes to SE80 in order to check the class, I can see several errors, I correct them and add a call in the method IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW in order to call the ITS and our customerdefined class. The code added is:
        ICWEBCLIENTBORKEYPARAMETER =
'ZARKIV'. "#EC NOTEXT
me->set_container_object(
    iv_name        = '<MAINOBJ>'
    iv_object_key = ICWEBCLIENTBORKEYPARAMETER
    iv_object_type = gv_bortype
The transaction ZARKIV is working calling it directly in CRM.
The syntax errors disappears and I can activate the class without problems. But when trying to use the link, I get the error "Starttransaction is not defined". Also other links that have been working before now gets an error "Error in the starttransaction ZCL_filarkiv.
I do not have a clue what the problem could be. Is there a step that I have missed to do? Thank you for your help, regards Lena

Found out that xpath.js wasn't uploaded correctly. Now that
it is, it works!

Calling a custom BSP application in CRM2007 ICWC using transaction launche

Hi Experts,
I created a Z BSP application in se80 which is a statefull application.Now I created a direct link in ICWC for this Bsp application using transaction launcher.
Now my problem is that the session of this BSP remains active even if I click on some other link in the navigation bar.
I need a way to end the session as soon as we navigate to some other link on the navigation bar.
It would also be helpful if I just know the code for killing the session programatically.
Helpful Answers will be rewarded!!
Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi,
I am not sure, but according to my understanding u can use CL_BSP_SERVER_SIDE_COOKIE class in ur BSP application to get refrence of ur BSP page.
When u r in Web UI by the help of this class u can check whether u r in BSP related view or in other then view. If u r in other view then u can set runtime->keep_context = 0.
Take help from this link for the class related info.

Calling Transaction Launcher in custom popup window

Hello Experts,
I am facing a issue. I have to call transaction launcher in custom popup window.
It is working when i am calling transaction launcher in main window. but it is not working when i am trying to call transation launcher in popup window.
I have written the code to call the transaction launcher in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method of popup view.
Please let me know do i need to do anything extra? I am using CRM 6.0.
Thanks in Advance
Rajeev Singh.
Edited by: Rajeev Singh on Feb 9, 2012 1:08 PM

Hi Manas,
I implemented a PopUp component some time ago for this task. There was a tutorial written for something similar here on SDN the link is: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/OpeninganURLthroughpop-upfromWEBUIofCRM2007
In the PopUp you do a followup navigation to the transaction you would like to call:
data: lr_navigation       TYPE REF TO         if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
lr_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
lr_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id         = 'your_logical_link'
                           iv_data_collection = lr_col ).
lr_col is a BOL collection of any kind of navigational data you need, can be kept empty as well.

Transaction launcher - URL transaction and parameter

Dear Experts,
I need to pass the confirmed BP's address as a parameter to an URL transaction. How would I achieve this? My URL is http://maps.google.com
Thanks & Regards,
Kanthimathi

Hi,
We faced a similar situation. You can pass parameters to an external website in the query string. But you cannot do that with the classic transaction launcher config.
You would need to write javascript code to achieve this on the 'confirm' button event handler code.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Open report using transaction launcher

Hi experts,
Can anyone guide me on how to open a report ( SE38 ) onto WEB UI using transaction launcher ??
Thanks,
Suchita

Hi Suchita,
The transaction Launcher can be used to launch URLs and BSPs / BOR transactions from other systems.
To launch a GUI transaction a BOR object type with a method EXECUTE, that supports synchronous calls is required.
1. A mapping of the logical systems is required: Transaction: CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS
2. To launch a GUI transaction a BOR object type with a method EXECUTE, that supports synchronous calls is required.Transaction: SE80 > Workbench > Edit object
Copy BOR object type TSTC to ZTSTC
3. Set in the method EXECUTE the flag 'Synchronousu2018
4. Generate the object
5. Following steps are for the Transaction launcher wizard :
IMG:Customer Relationship Management > UI Framework > > Technical Role Definition > Configure Transaction Launcher
or transaction: CRMC_UI_ACTIONWZ
Enter an ID (donu2018t use the F4-help)
Enter a description
Enter a class name (donu2018t use the F4-help): ZCL_<name>
Flag u201AStatefulu2018, if the URL should be launched in a new window
Choose Transaction Type = BOR Transaction
Choose the BOR Object type you created
Choose EXECUTE
ChooseParameter: Object Key
Value: <transaction code>
IMG: Customer Relationship Management > UI Framework > Technical Role Definition > Define Navigation Bar Profile
Create an new Logical Link
Type: C Launch Transaction
Target ID: EXECLTX
Parameter class: CL_CRM_UI_LTX_NAVBAR_PARAM
IMG: Customer Relationship Management > UI Framework > Technical Role Definition > Define Navigation Bar Profile
Create a new Direct Link Group and assign the logical link to it
Assign the Direct Link Group to your Navigation Bar Profile
IMG: Customer Relationship Management > Business Role > Define Business Role > Set the link to visible
Hope this answers your question.

Kapil

Problem in Transaction Launcher

Hi friends,
I have used the cookbook example on page 30.
And it is working fine for the transaction VA01 but when i replace it with any other transaction like SE38 or BP its does not work and after calling the Transaction launcher it shows an error in the status bar of IE5.0 that
Line 47, char 5, Error : invalid Object ,Code 0, and the complete url of ITS.
Plz help me to solve this problem
Regards
Pulkit Agrawal

Hi,
You're talking about transaction code VA01 (to create sales documents), but you want to display a customer... so in fact you use tcode XD03 right? And if you're sure that this customer number exists in your backend, you could try to debug and add leading zeros to LV_PARTNER. Maybe that will help.

Nicolas.

Paramters empty when using Transaction launcher wizard for BOR Method

We have a u201CCRM 5.0 BOR method based - action boxu201D; that uses a R3 method, to pick the confirmed BP from CRM CIC and goes to R3 and finds a partner function for it. We are moving over to the navigation bar in CRM 7.0. We are using the transaction launcher wizard in CRM 7.0 to create a launch transaction for this action box. In the wizard we enter the following: 1) Name, Component set: u201CALLu201D; 2) Description and Custom Class name; 3) choose A BOR Transaction, choose the R/3 system we are connecting to and choose the appropriate BOR Object Type and Method Name. The problem is when we go to the next screen u2013 u201CTransaction Parametersu201D u2013 nothing shows up in the dropdown box.
From what weu2019ve read, we need to choose something here. Eventually we will have to go to the method u201Cif_crm_ic_action_handler~PREPARE_DATA_FLOWu201D in the class specified in the wizard and change to code to use the confirmed BP number. But first we need to choose the transaction parameter in the wizard. I think maybe we need to choose a component set on the Entries screen but there are a bunch of them and we have no idea which one is appropriate. It could also be a declaration in the method!!
We have checked the settings for the ZTSTC object, the ITS URLs, the RFCs and logical systems and came up with noting. These are the notes that we have checked: 1021222, 888931, 1337200 and 1337472.
Does anyone have an idea as to what we might be missing?

Hi Thea,
Yes, we were able to resolve the issue. This was resolved by one of our technical developers. This is how he resolved the issue:
STEP1: PARAMETER MAINTENANCE
1) You need to maintain method for the parameter
/SE80 -> Menu item - Workbench -> Edit object -> TAB - Business engineering -> FIELD Business object type = Ex: ZXXXX (Custom object) and open it.
2) Expand the Methods and focus your cursor on the method that you woud like to change Ex: ZXXX.ZYYY.
3) In the toolbar section push the PARAMETERS button.
4) Change to Edit mode nd hit CREATE. Select the table abd the field that you would like to pass as a parameter. In our case we selected Tabel KNA1 and field KUNNR. Hit the green check mark. Check the fields Import & Mandatory. Save and select your transport request.
STEP 2: USING PARAMETER IN TRANSACTION LAUNCHER WIZARD
5) While creating the launch transaction wizard, the paramter needs to be maintained.
IMG -> Customer Relationship Management -> UI Framework -> Technical Role Definition -> Technical Role Definition -> Configure Transaction Launcher.
6) Maintain the technical details of your launch transaction and then when you come to the Transaction Parameters section when you hit the dropdown you should now see the paramter that you maintained. In our case we had OBJECTGUID.
7) In the Value field hit F4. Here look for the right data context and the field that you would like to pass. In our case we selected: //datacontextCURRENTBT/BTOrderHeader/BTHeaderActivityExt/GUID. Complete the wizard.
STEP 3: CHANGE METHOD CREATED IN STEP 2
8) Find the Class that was created by the wizard and open the method: IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW
Change the follwing code:
me->set_container_data(
iv_name = delete gv_customer and insert the field that you added. In our case: 'KUNNR'
iv_value = CUSTOMER ).
Save and activate the method.
This should resolve the issue.
