Documentation
Definition
This name is used to uniquely identify a presentation server in the network.
Use
The front end ID is required to determine the presentation server-specific or user-specific destinations for the technical interface functions.
The value from the JHFRONTENDID_USER SET/GET parameter is used if this parameter is set. The front end ID is user-specific in this case. This means it is not dependent on the user's computer.
If this parameter is not set, the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE method is used to read the 'HOSTNAME' environment variable.
If a front end ID cannot be determined from the environment variable, the JHFRONTENDID SET/GET parameter is read instead.
This is the case if SAP GUI for HTML is used.
Procedure
You must make different settings according to the operating system that you are using:
- Windows: The front end ID must be specified under the 'HOSTNAME' variable name in the system settings in the Control Panel.
- Apple Macintosh: The front end ID must be entered as the device name in the check fields for the shared functions.
- UNIX: The front end ID must be specified under the 'HOSTNAME' variable names in the environment.
