Transaction launcher to launch to legacy Microsoft fat client

Hello Experts!
I need integrate our IC Web Client (CRM 2007) with a legacy desktop application which is written in Microsoft Visual C++. Can anyone pass on a reference on how to pass business partner data to such a legacy application using the transaction launcher within CRM?
Best Regards,
Tom Halloran

Hi Tom,
I would try the below steps to achieve the requirement.
Define the URL in Tcode - CRMC_IC_LTX_URLS.
Maintain the URL ID, Description, Request Method and your desired URL under Non-BSP URL for your legacy desktop application.
Define the Parameters which you want to pass like Business Partner Data in Define Parameters. Maintain the Element Type as Export for the Parameter Business partner data.
Run the Transaction launcher wizard and create a new logical link same as your Transaction launch id.You can copy any of the standard logical link of type "C Launch Transaction". Do not change the Target ID and Parameter Class.
If the above step doesnt work try assigning the URL in CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS and check again.
Hope this helps.

Chandrakant

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,

How do I create a new Work Center for the transaction launcher and links

Hi
The requirement here is for me to find out if I can create a new Work Center that will contain up to 6 assignment blocks and each block having either links to websites and BW reports, or triggers to R/3 applications via the transaction launcher.
Can I do this purely through customising or do I need to create a new view using BSPs? If I can do it through customising please could I have a few pointers to what component I would need to use/copy?
Regards
Declan

Hi Robert,
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Just so I understand, if I want to show a work center I need to link it to a component / view? I think this was the original query - do I need a developer to create the view that contains the 6 blocks with their links to reports, transactions and websites? I think when I talk about blocks I mean 1 viewset containing 6 views. There is no SAP standard view that would suit my requirements is there? Even if the work center had 8 views, I can always hide the two views in configuration.
After the developer has created the view, I then reference that component in the target Id in the define logical links section of my work center.
If my understanding is right, then it follows that it is not possible to create a user specific work center without some development.
Is this correct?
Cheers
Declan

Transaction Launcher : How to get return parameters from an external URL

Hello,
We need to launch an external URL in the Web Client UI. After the URL is launched, the user does some processing which results in some output values. These value have to be passed back to the Web Client UI and become a part of the quotation he is creating.
We are able to launch the URL using the Transaction Launcher. But we are not able to find a way to get the output values from the external URL to the Web client UI.
Please suggest any approach for this. It is OK even if we need to use an intermediate BSP to launch the external URL.
Regards
Ajay

hi ajay
I had a similar requirement , when the user clicks on button I want to launch the External URL , can you please let me know how to launch the external url when the user cliks on button

Pdf error in printing in WEB UI via transaction launcher

Hi Experts,
We have created a custom report program in CRM 2007. We are launching it from WEB UI via transaction launcher. When we try to print the report output, it displays the standard print dialog box. The moment we select output device = LOCL for local printer and click on Continue button,it launches two new windows:-
a) One window is for WEB UI with message-The formatted data will be displayed in this window; wait and do not close the window
b) Second window is ADOBE PDF window with information message-Adobe Reader could not open 'frontend_print[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
In the end, user is not able to print the report. Now my doubts are:-
What is the link between print button and pdf? Why is it going to ADOBE? Something to do with WEB UI? If we launch SAP GUI, go to SE38 and execute the report program, we are able to print the output successfully.
Please give me some pointers to proceed forward.
Thanks

Transaction Launcher

Hi,
I have some doubts while launching the non-bsp url through transaction launcher.
Question1. What is the significance of Get/Post method while defining the Non-bsp URL?
I just added the Google Search link in my left navigation bar.
When we "Define URLs and Parameters"
(spro->crm->ui_framework->technical_role_definition->transaction_lanucher->define urls and parameters)
I select the Post method. But when I clicked on the Google Search link in the Left Navigation Bar, it showed the error "Post method is NOT relevant for URL". I deleted the URL link and defined it again without any selecting method and it worked fine.
Question2. Can we pass the parameter when Launch Transaction type is "URL transaction"? How many no of parameter can be passed and how?
Thanks,
Anup

Thirumala,
Trying to follow your logic here. I have created a Webdynpro app. We have CRM 7.0 and what I need to do is pass to the webdynpro app the sales doc number. Created a URL for the application with a parameter. Also created a transactional link with a parameter which I named the same the parameter value is //datacontextCURRENTCUSTOMER/BuilR3LastSalesDocRel/DOCNUMBER. You say to set this value and the parameter would be set automatically? Do I have to do some manipulation before you navigate to the application? Is there another way to set the value? Example:
data: lv_navigation   type ref to if_crm_ui_navigation_service,
          lo_link      type ref to if_bol_bo_property_access,
          data_collection type ref to if_bol_bo_col.
    lo_link ?= cl_crm_uiu_bt_param_create=>if_ui_link_parameter_class~create_parameter_object(
                                            iv_link_id   = 'BILLINGDOC'
                                            iv_parameter = '0214396560' ).
    create object data_collection type cl_crm_bol_bo_col.
    data_collection->add(
            iv_entity    = lo_link
            iv_set_focus = abap_true ).
    lv_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
    lv_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZSLS-INV'
                              iv_data_collection = data_collection ). "#EC NOTEXT UIF_PERS

Error in transaction Launcher handler class

Hello friends,
I am following the step from the CookBook for the creation of the Transaction Launcher
but in side the class method
IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW
it is showing the error
CREATE_ENTITY is unknown or Protected or Private.
Its supper class is CL_CRM_IC_ABOX_ABSTRACT_BOR
and interface included is IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER.
Will i have to make any change in side these class or there any other way to configure the transaction launcher.
Regards
Pulkit Agrawal

Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure about the EEWB extensions.
Initially I created a launch transaction using BOR method the path of the ECC logical system is given as below.
http://ssever:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/CRM_CIC_RABOX
But now I've changed the path as: http://ssever:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/CCMP_RABOX
and it is working now. I am able to pull the transaction from ECC although some other data flow issues are there.
So looks like there is some issue with the serivce CRM_CIC_RABOX in our system.
Thanks to all,
Nag

Unable to access ECC transactions from CRM using Transaction Launcher

Hi Folks, we are trying to create a booking request using VA11 from portal. For this we have configured transaction launcher in CRM which will connect to ECC system from portal and VA11 screen will be launched. For this we have done the necessary configuration in transaction launcher (Including RFC destination and logical system) and this is working fine in Dev system but not in quality system. We are able to see SAP screen with toolbar Menu and System but not the entire transaction (refer image below). Our questions here are,
1)     What user type has to be configured when connecting from CRM to ECC? (System, Communication data or any ohter)
2)     If this has to work with user as Dialog, is there any supporting document from SAP saying this should be Dialog user?
3)     Is there any other issue and need development specifically related BOR TSTC?
Warm regards and thanks in advance for your time.

Hello JC,
Yes, it is possible . You have to create new work center link or Direct Link for the existing transaction launcher.

How to launch a non bsp url through transaction launcher

Hi All,
i am not able to launch a non bsp url from transaction launcher. i have followed all the steps needed.
Defined URL as non bsp url and defined the logical system and assigned it to rfc destination.
when i test this out, i am getting a blank page.
Any pointers on this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Udaya

I am trying to launch sap/bc/bsp/sap/ytest2/index.htm without giving the initial server details. for the server details, i have mapped to logical system.
i am assuming that this will pick the server info http://dmsap650.fm.test.com:8006/.

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.

Logical System for Transaction Launcher??

Dear all,
Should we define logical system for Transaction Launcher to call transactions from back end ECC system. If yes, why we do this and where we maintain the logical systems?
Can we use existing ECC logical system, whcih mapped with SAP CRM system?
Where can we define the logical system for Transaction Launcher?
Please clarify my doubts to complete this process successfully, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Raghu ram.

Hi Raghu Ram
In order to call an transaction from ECC, you should choose the logical system of the ECC System itself. You will get the information regarding the logical name assigned to your ECC System using the tcode SM59. The logical system must have been defined for the ECC System before you integrated CRM to backend ECC.
Check the tcode SM59 and you will find logical name of your ECC System there.
And yes, you are suppose to use the existing ECC logical system, which is mapped with SAP CRM system.
Hope this helps

Transaction Launcher: Logical System in Production System does not change

Hi,
I created a transaction launcher in the CRM development system (CRD) to launch the transaction IL02 in the ECC 6.0 system (ECD). Then I transported the changes from CRD to the CRM production system CRP. I also transported the changes from ECD to ECC production system ECP.
However, when I see the transaction launcher in CRP system, it is still configured for the URL of ECD. I want the transaction launcher to connect to ECP. One option I have is to change the class name in the CRP system. However, I am not allowed to create a new ABAP class in the production system. Is there any other way to change the target system automatically in production system?
Thanks,
Rohan.

Thanks Piyush. Could you be a bit more specific? I followed these steps:
1. In transaction CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS, created a logical system URL for production system
2. In customizing setting Copy/Delete Launch Transactions, deleted the transaction launcher id.
3. In customizing setting Configure Transaction Launcher, created the same transaction launcher id newly.
I still am not able to change the logical system. However, I can do it if I change the class name.
While deleting the transaction launcher id, should I be deleting all dependencies?
Regards,
Rohan.
