How to launch the WebClient UI and IC WebClient from the portal

Purpose

You want to launch the complete WebClient UI from the SAP Enterprise Portal. This page will show you how to externally integrate portal to launch webUI or IC WebUI.

Attention: This is NOT about the WebClient-Portal full Integration which is described in IMG under: UI Framework->Portal Integration->Overview.

Overview

This page provides the steps needed to be executed in order to launch full WebClient via the SAP Portal. The system landscape must be configured in such a way that minimum domain relaxation (only the server name is removed from a domain) is enabled. Maximum domain relaxation (domain is reduced to two segments like "sap.com") is not supported.

Please check following "Steps needed to do" part.
