Creating an Explorer launch button in SAP

After you have imported data into Meridian Enterprise that was exported from SAP using the SAP Connector, you can add a button in SAP to make it easier for users to launch Explorer and see the documents that are related to specific equipment or a functional location. The following is an example of such a customization.

Here is an overview of the steps to perform the customization:

1. In SAP, declare an ABAP program with subroutines. You may use the example source code in Example source code and modify it, if necessary.
2. Link the ABAP subroutines to the function codes of the corresponding SAP programs (Functional Location, Equipment, Work Order, and Notification).
3. Create and configure script files on each SAP client that add a button in the SAP user interface for each SAP program.

The following topics describe each step in detail.
