Application Parameters and URL Parameters

WDACCESSIBILITY

SAP-ACCESSIBILITY

• X

• No value specified

Activates Accessibility support.

This parameter can be activated in all of the places named above. OR logic is used (the parameter can be activated in one place). This parameter is normally either defined on a user-specific basis or specified for test purposes in the URL.

Name of the user parameter: ACCESSIBILITY_MODE

WDACCESSIBILITYMODE

SAP-ACCESSIBILITYMODE

• CLASSIC (standard value)

• ARIA

• No value specified

Specifies which screen reader support is used

• CLASSIC:

  SAP's own support for screen readers

• ARIA:

  ARIA-compatible suppport for screen readers in compliance with W3C ARIA standard

WDALLOWUSERAGENTS

• TOLERATED (standard value)

• SUPPORTED

Specifies the browsers in which Web Dynpro applications can be run.

• TOLERATED:

  Users can also run Web Dynpro applications in browsers that are supported by Unified Rendering browser recognition even if these browsers are not supported by SAP in accordance with the Product Availability Matrix (PAM).

• SUPPORTED:

  To specify that Web Dynpro applications can only be run exclusively in SAP-supported browsers (in accordance with PAM), you set the parameter to value supported.

For more information, see Changing the Default Browser Detection.

WDALLOWMULTIPLEACTIONS

WDALLOWMULTIPLEACTIONS

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

Specifies that more than one action per roundtrip can be processed. For more information see Multiple Actions per Roundtrip in Phase Model.

WDALLOWQUICKVIEWS

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

Specifies whether quick views are to be available or not.

The parameter cannot be forwarded as a URL parameter. Administrators can set this parameter as an application parameter in the global settings.

The application can use IF_WD_APPLICATION->GET_QUICKVIEWS_ALLOWED() to import the parameter during runtime.

WDALLOWVALUESUGGEST

WDALLOWVALUESUGGEST

• ON (standard value)

• OFF

• No value specified

Activates and deactivates the function for Suggested Values for Input Fields.

WDDELTARENDERING

SAP-WD-DELTARENDERING

• ON (standard value)

• OFF

• No value specified

View-based Delta Rendering.

For many applications, it has proven sensible to only send changed views to the client. However, this makes it more difficult to detect changes and to perform tests since the application must be completely tested with delta rendering active. Typically, this parameter is set in the application. However, it sometimes makes sense to set the URL parameter for test purposes. If the context changes are to be traced (in WD_TRACE_TOOL), you have to set this parameter.

WDDISABLEDYNAMICRESOURCESDN

• X

• No specification (default value)

Download options suppressed with UI element FileDownload, function AttachFileToResponse, and all active components (e.g. OfficeIntegration, GANTT). For more information, see Security Notes for Downloading Files.

WDENABLEFIELDHISTORY

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

Activates or deactivates the history of an input field, either system-wide or for individual Web Dynpro applications. For more information, see Suggested Values for Input Fields.

WDENABLEXBCMLCLIENT

• X

• No specification (default value)

Activates eCATT rendering for a client for an application. For general information about eCATT, see Extended Computer Aided Test Tool. For information about eCATT and Web Dynpro ABAP see eCATT and Web Dynpro ABAP.

WDFAVICON

• Relative URL to favicon on the server

Enables a favorites icon (favicon) to be displayed on the left of the URL in the address line of a browser (see figure).

The parameter can be implemented at the following levels:

WDHELPCENTERDISPLAY

• NEW_WINDOW (standard value)

• SIDE_PANEL

Display mode for the Help Center for Web Dynpro ABAP applications. See also Utilizing the Help Center for Applications in SAP Business Suite, Making the Help Center Available for SAP Applications and Activating Help Center and Selecting Display Mode.

With the standard setting the application Help Center opens in a separate browser window. If you want to display the Help Center in the side panel of the Web Dynpro application, use the value SIDE_PANEL. If the Web Dynpro window has sufficient space, the Help Center is displayed in the side panel of the application, if not, the standard setting applies.

WDHIDEMOREFIELDHELPASDEFAULT

• X

• No value specified

The extended help display is deactivated by default. For selected individual fields you can reactivate the F1 help; see also Property Explanation.

WDLIGHTSPEED

SAP-WD-LIGHTSPEED

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

The standard system has new Rendering Technology activated.

The new rendering technology can be activated and deactivated for each client, in each application or in the URL. A distinction is made between the parameter being there but with an empty value (classic rendering is used), and the parameter not being there (the default value is used).

WDPREFERREDRENDERING

• STANDARDS (standard value)

• QUIRKS

• STAND_ONLY

Define preferred HTML rendering mode.

• STANDARDS:

  Starts the application in W3C standards mode (DOCTYPE HTML), provided the rendering engine supports standards mode.

  The STANDARDS value is effective in Internet Explorer 9 and higher Internet Explorer versions, and in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Older Internet Explorer versions are rendered always in quirks mode.

• QUIRKS:

  Starts the application in quirks mode, provided the rendering engine supports quirks mode. If it does not, the standards mode is used.

• STAND_ONLY

  Forces the use of the standard mode for HTML rendering and results in the application terminating for all browsers that do not support this mode (e.g. Internet Explorer earlier than Version 9).

For more information, see , and SAP Note 1753544 .

WDREFFIELDBEHAVIOUR

• 0 (default value)

• 1

Converting Currency Amounts.

• 0 (default value):

  If the application parameter is set to 0, the internal value of the referenced field is not changed.

• 1:

  If the parameter is set to 1, the position of the decimal point in the referenced field remains unchanged.

WDREMOTEDESKTOP

SAP-WD-REMOTEDESKTOP

• X

• No value specified

Optimization for remote desktops (Windows Terminal Server). This switch deactivates the greying out of the background in popups.

WDPROTECTEDAPPLICATION

• X

• No value specified

Isolates / protects the application on the client. Specifies that the application should run with the SSL (HTTPS) protocol and that no scripting between the portal and the application is allowed.

Note that when you set this parameter Portal Integration can no longer function without restrictions. Portal eventing will not work anymore. Session handling is also affected (navigating away from iView or closing the browser), as is the work protection mode.

Note also that UI element BIApplicationFrame does not work properly if you use this parameter.

See also Web Applications Without Domain Relaxing.

WDSHAREDREPOSITORY

• X

• No value specified

Specifies that the metadata belonging to an application is loaded into the shared memory. This can lead to memory performance problems.

When using this parameter, make sure that the shared memory is large enough.

• CLIENTINFO (standard value)
• SIGNED

UNSIGNED

• CLIENTINFO:
  The Applet version to be used is selected depending on the version of the installed Java plug-in:

  • Java version smaller than or equal to 6: The unsigned version of the Applet is used.
  • Java version greater than or equal to 7: The signed version of the Applet is used.
• SIGNED:

  The signed version of the Applet is always used.

• UNSIGNED:

  The unsigned version of the Applet is always used.

1925833

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

The JavaScript sources for individual Web Dynpro ABAP UI elements are first loaded by default from the ABAP server and cached in the browser when they are needed for the first time. This saves resources because the smallest amount of JavaScript code is loaded from the browser and cached.

In some cases this behavior is not wanted or necessary. If SAP-WD-LOADONDEMAND is not activated, all JavaScript sources are packed in a file and sent to the browser. The amount of JavaScript code to be cached is much greater in this case but also no longer needs to be loaded.

• X

• No value specified

• X

• No value specified

Provides stable view element adapter IDs, which are required for tools for automatic testing (e.g. Web Dynpro ABAP unit test framework, eCATT).

To display the view element adapter IDs, call technical from the running application, and navigate to the View Element Adapter tab. The IDs are listed in theView Element Adapter IDs column.

Name of the user parameter:

WD_STABLE_ID_F_TEST

The user parameter does not work in productive operation.

• X

• No value specified

With this parameter, you control whether HTML is suppressed, which was specified with an HTMLIsland, HTMLContainer, or HTMLFragment. You can use the parameter to check whether an error due to incorrect customer-defined HTML occurs.

WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION

• X

• No value specified

Suppresses the implicit personalization options.

More information: Personalization and Customizing

WDENABLEUIELEMENTSHIDE

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

Suppresses the option to hide a UI element from the context menu.

Remember that if this feature is activated or deactivated, the function "Restore All Changes" is also activated or deactivated.

The setting does not affect the personalization of UI element Table.

WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET

• X

• No value specified

URL parameter WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET has been replaced with parameter WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET. For compatibility reasons, the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET switch is still evaluated. The default value WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=ON must be set. For more information, see the description of parameter WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET.

WDSTYLE_LABELALIGNMENT

WDSTYLE-LABELALIGNMENT

• USEGL

• LEFT

• RIGHT (standard value)

• No value specified

Controlling alignment of Label s.

Value USEGL means that all Labels are right-aligned, if WDUIGUIDELINE=GL20 is set. All Labels are left-aligned, if WDUIGUIDELINE=GL11 is set.

LEFT means that all Labels are left-aligned. Standard value RIGHT means that all Labels are right-aligned. If Label.width is set to initial, it is displayed with 100% width.

Activating right-aligned Labels can make the layout worse. In this case reset the width of the Label, and make changes to the layout.

WDSTYLE_TOOLBARDESIGN

WDSTYLE-TOOLBARDESIGN

• FLAT (standard value)

• HIGH

This parameter changes the appearance of ToolBarButton, ToolBarButtonChoice, ToolBarToggleButton in a ToolBar with property ToolBar.design=standard.

Value FLAT means that the specified ToolBar UI elements are displayed with no highlighting, like text in the ToolBar. Value HIGH means that the specified ToolBar UI elements are displayed exactly like normal Buttons.

WDTHEMEROOT

SAP-THEME

• sap_bluecrystal

• sap_chrome

• sap_corbu (standard value)

• sap_hcb

• sap_standard

• sap_tradeshow

• sap_tradeshow_plus

Stylesheets for the application without portal integration. You can import user-configured stylesheets with report WD_THEMES.

See also Stylesheets in Web Dynpro ABAP.

WDUIGUIDELINE

WDUIGUIDELINE

• GL20 (standard value)

• GL11

Classic or new behavior in visualization, filtering, sorting, and selecting. Siehe auch:

• Filtering in Tables

• Sorting in Tables

• Selection in Tables

Default value GL20 differs widely in the UI and in the behavior of some UI elements.

• The red star for visualizing the state property with value required is always rendered on the left side of the Label. See also Truncating Contents in the FormLayout.

• With drag & drop in MatrixLayout and GridLayout visualization has been changed slightly: The insert selection is now a dashed line specifying the insert position and no longer a box with the dimensions of the dragged object.

1875625

WDUSEANIMATION

SAP-LS-USEANIMATION

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

If the WDLIGHTSPEED parameter is active, this parameter (active by default) renders show and hide effects, for instance, for popups. You can deactivate this parameter if required for system performance.

Name of the user parameter: WDUSEANIMATION

WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET

• ON (standard value)

• OFF

• FORCE

Web Dynpro applications use style sheets transferred by a portal or NWBC (URL parameters sap-ep-themeroot, sap-cssurl), provided the version of the stylesheet is new enough. If the version is too old, a fallback mechanism is executed. This avoids unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors. However, bear in mind that any customer branding can get lost. It is also possible to transfer a stylesheet installed on the SAP system using URL parameter sap-theme.

With parameter WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET you can influence how information from external stylesheets is used.

• WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=ON: External stylesheets are used.

  This is the default setting. The mechanism described above is activated. External stylesheet information is evaluated.

• WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=FORCE: Obsolete external stylesheets are also used.

  This setting is the same as the default setting but with one difference: The external stylesheet will be used if the version synchronization fails. Bear in mind that this could result in unattractive rendering and JavaScript errors.

  Note

  Running a Web Dynpro application with this setting is done at your own risk. SAP Support does not provide any help or corrections for Web Dynpro applications that are operated with this setting.

• WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=OFF: External stylesheets are ignored.

  With this setting stylesheet information passed with this URL is ignored. This means that URL parameters sap-ep-themeroot, sap-cssurl and sap-theme are ignored. Application parameter WDTHEMEROOT, which corresponds to URL parameter sap-theme in the application, can still be set client-wide and application-wide.

URL parameter WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET has been replaced with this new parameter WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET. For compatibility reasons, the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET switch is still evaluated. The default value WDUSEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET=ON must be set.

For more information, see SAP Note 1679127 .

WDSIDEPANELCONFIGURATIONID

<configuration id>

Configuration ID of the Web Dynpro component WDR_CHIP_PAGE of type SIDEPANEL. This configuration determines the content of the side panel.

WDSIDEPANELOPEN

• X

• No value specified

Specifies whether the side panel is opened or not when the program is started.

WDSIDEPANELRESIZABLE

• X (standard value)

• No value specified

Specifies whether the width of the side panel can be changed by the user or not. If the width can be changed, the side panel is separated from the main application by a splitter control.

WDSIDEPANELREMOTEPRODUCER

• X

• No specification (default value)

Enables sending of tagging data from a Web Dynpro application running in the NWBC content area.

WDSIDEPANELREMOTECONSUMER

• X

• No specification (default value)

Enables receipt of tagging data in the NWBC side panel (for example, for Page Builder or FPM applications running in the side panel).

WDCONFIGURATIONID

SAP-WD-CONFIGID

<config id>

Configuration ID of the Application Configuration. Passes the ID of the application configuration. Typically, this ID is specified either in the application (various applications are defined for the use of various application configurations) or is defined from the portal as a parameter in the iView.

WDSUPPORTSFULLHEIGHT

SAP-WD-SUPPORTSFULLHEIGHT

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

Web Dynpro application developers must decide whether applications are to always take up the maximum height or not. Depending on your requirements you set this application to one of the following values:

• 0 (standard value)

  If this parameter has value 0, the framework sets the value to 1 in a portal environment, and to 2 in a stand-alone environment. This is the correct value for the majority of applications. This ensures that the automatic height adjustment of the iView is supported in the Portal, and in the stand-alone case the application takes on the full height of the browser window.

• 1

  If this parameter is set to 1, the application does not extend to the full height of the browser. This is the correct setting if applications are running in an iView with automatic height adjustment. If not, UI elements with 100% height are not necessarily displayed in their full size. Some UI elements (for example, InteractiveForm) may not be displayed correctly in Firefox.

• 2

  If this parameter is set to 2, the application can use the full 100% height of the browser. This will avoid any problems with Firefox. It is best though not to use any such applications in iViews with automatic height adjustment, since these can appear overstretched in the Enterprise Portal. To set an application to 100% height, you have to observe the following rules when setting application parameter WDSUPPORTSFULLHEIGHT:

  • The height of container-type UI elements (for example, TransparentContainer, Group, Tray, etc.) must be set to 100%. This applies particularly to ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER.

  • Only layouts of type MatrixLayout and GridLayout are allowed to be used. Toggle the stretchedVertically flag to true.

  • Property vAlign for all instances of GridData and Matrix(Head)Data must be set to top.

• 3

  If this parameter is set to 3, the framework uses the full height, without a scrollbar. With a value of 3 this parameter behaves as with 2, but with no scrollbar. Content that is too long is cut off. Use the parameter with value 3 if you create a page that uses 100% of the width and height, and has its own containers with scrollbars. This means that the application itself takes care of the scrolling behavior.
