Hi Ashish,

Method cl_hrrcf_navigation_ui=>navigate_to_cand_overview uses object based navigation to open the target application.

In order for the object based navigation to work in this case, you will need to call this method from an FPM application or from a POWL application. In other cases, it will not work.

In case you are running your application in the Portal or in the NWBC, make sure that the Candidate Overview is in the navigation path of the role.

Hi Luk,

Thanks for your reply, i am running my application on portal , its a referral dashboard where  recruiters can track all candidates , and my requirment is to open candidate profile , when recruiters click on candidate id column, is there any way to get reference of FPM application and use it inside my application.

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

Is there a special reason you are not using a powl application. If I understood correctly, you are using a regular ALV grid for this purpose.

You can package your existing webdynpro component into an OIF FPM application. That way, the method will be able to retrieve a reference to the FPM application object.

I would suggest you create a powl for this type of functionality as the look and feel of the application will be more natural for the recruiters. As an additional plus, you can integrate it in the recruiter dashboard as an additional query.

Hi Luck,

i can not integrate in with existing recruiter dashboard as current application has lots of column like payments details and id of candidates if he joins successfully, same view is shared with employees also , is there any other way to open candidate profile.

Thanks

As I explained earlier, you can wrap your component in an FPM application.

Otherwise, you will need to construct the url to the candidate overview page as suggested by

what version are you on? do you use the Webdynpro abap for recruiters also (as of EHP4)?

Than you can use following url:
