SAP 2009 / Page * Maintain OBN for POWLs

If a POWL calls a transaction via a button which is defined in the methods of the feeder class, the relevant transactions needs to be added to the role and the OBN targets need to be defined via Details for NetWeaver Business Client *With a double-click on the inserted method in the Details for NetWeaver Business Client window you can define parameters and values which should be transferred to the transaction. Then the selection screen is skipped. **

*The menu entry is still called Additional Details in SAP ERP 6.0 EhP3**For Details of the OBN defining process see the slides and the guide for How-to develop POWER Lists also available in this Kit

SAP 2009 / Page * Where to find PowerLists and how to test them?

Go to Transaction powl_typer (other useful transactions are powl_query or powl_queryr)

You can find a list of the available PowerLists in EhP3 here: https://portal.wdf.sap.corp/irj/go/km/docs/room_project/cm_stores/documents/workspaces/91d8e9f9-1bfa-2910-e28f-f3597248fc1f/NWBC/POWERLists/POWER_Lists_.XLS

PowerLists are sometimes described in the RKT material (service.sap.com/rkt-erp) but not in a specific All-in-One area, but in ERP, amongst the different applications, e.g. https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001090812007E

Fast test: SAP Easy Access -> Favorites -> Add other objects -> WebDynpro Application

Even faster test: Adopt the following link by replacing the ID of the PowerList (KYK-FIN-FI-ASSETLIST) and adding the server information of an SAP ERP system: http://.. :/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/powl?APPLID=KYK-FIN-FI-ASSETLIST&sap-client=130&sap-language=EN
