Passing Parameters via Web Dynpro Application

Applies to:

SAP ABAP Workbench that supports Web Dynpro development. For more information, visit the Web Dynpro
ABAP homepage.

Summary
This article explains how to pass parameters via Web Dynpro Application. In general, data can be shared
via context of different controller only in the same session (i.e. in the same web page) but data cannot be
shared between two different sessions (i.e. two different web pages). So to pass the data between two
different sessions, we pass data through the web Dynpro Application (URL).

Passing Parameters via Web Dynpro Application

PRE-REQUISITES:
Basic knowledge in Web Dynpro ABAP concepts like context mapping and calling the web dynpro
component using external window.
BASIC INFORMATION:
Generally, we use context mapping for sharing data between the views of same component or different
components. Data can be passed via context only in a same session but data cannot be passed or accessed
between different sessions via context mapping.
For accessing the data between the different sessions, we have to pass parameters via Web Dynpro
Application (URL).

REQUIREMENT:
Display the list of materials in the application 1 and then display the sales item details of the selected
material in the new page (new session)
COMPONENT CREATION:
1. Create a Component YSG_MATERIAL with a view and a window and embed view to the respective
window.
a. View 1 : V_Main Window 1 : W_Main

2. Create a node ‘MATERIAL’ with cardinality 0-n and design layout with a table in the MAIN view.

3. Implement logic in WDDOINIT( ) to display list of materials in the table, when the application is called
