Ways to Launch SAP CRM WEB UI

Launching SAP CRM can be as easy as using tcode CRM_UI, but there are other things and ways to play around with parameters to launch SAP CRM UI. Let's see how:

Prerequisites to Launch SAP CRM WEB UI

1.   Setting up the hosts file: First, make sure you have created an entry in the hosts file. Otherwise, you would get the error message 'The page cannot be displayed' in your internet browser.

2.   Setting the CRM_UI_PROFILE parameter: Use the Tcode: SU3. Alternatively, you can use SU01 to modify your user profile parameters under the 'Parameters' tab. Set the parameter value to the business role you wish the user to be able to launch when he launches the CRM UI. For e.g. CRM_UI_PROFILE = '*'. This will enable the user to view all business roles and select any one of them. For end users who are only required to use a single business role to carry out their daily operations, the parameter value can be set to a specific business role.

Launch SAP CRM WEB UI from SAP GUI

1.   From SAP GUI, use Tcode CRM_UI.

2.   From SAP GUI, by launch the favourite. To create the favourite, right click on favourites -> Add other objects: Select BSP Application and enter:

      BSP Application : CRM_UI_START
      Description : Web UI (or any other description you like)
      Start Page : default.htm

3.   By executing the component CRM_UI_FRAME

Use Tcode BSP_WD_CMPWB to enter the component CRM_UI_FRAME and then execute.

Tip: Once, you've launched CRM Web UI, it's best to add the URL to the favourites in your browser to be able to quickly launch it the next time onwards.

Launch SAP CRM WEB UI directly using URL

http://<HOST>:<PORT>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm

The URL for the logon screen allows the following useful parameters:
1.      sap-client
2.      sap-language
3.      sap-user
4.      sap-password

To use the parameters, use '?' in the beginning and '&' to separate the parameters.

Example:

http://<HOST>:<PORT>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm?sap-client=100&sap-user=xxx&sap-password=yyy


You can also launch SAP CRM WEB UI with a predefined business role. Use parameter 'saprole'
Example:

http://<HOST>:<PORT>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm?saprole=SALESPRO
