How to call external HTTP based viewer from inside R/3?

[Chris Pruitt]

Viveka,
 
I am doing something very much like this today. I added a custom method
to the object that I was working on that had the following code in it:
 
DATA:
      URL LIKE ZTRANS_DETAIL-URL.
  SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'URL' URL.
 
  call function 'WS_EXECUTE'
    EXPORTING
       COMMANDLINE =3D URL
       PROGRAM =3D 'EXPLORER'
    EXCEPTIONS
       FRONTEND_ERROR =3D 1.
 
END_METHOD.
 
I build my url externally and pass it as a parameter into the method.
You can adapt this approach and build your URL within the method.

Subject: How to call external HTTP based viewer from inside R/3?
 
Hello workflowers,
 
I would like to call an external HTTP based web viewer from inside R/3
(logged in via SAP GUI) in different archive link based scenarios. If
possible also when displaying a document (doc.class FAX) from the
attachment list (GOS) of a business document.
The viewer is installed on our web server and can be called via an URL
together with the archive ID and the arc.doc.id.
 
Does anybody how any suggestion on how to do that?
 
Best regards
Viveka
