We have a standard SAP BI App and we don't have the code for that and our company purchased it for our internal use and now my PM has asked me to open SAP BI App from our custom App programmatically and I have done it using url scheme's and then I am facing the problem he wants me to open our custom App automatically when ever the user clicks on a specific button in standard SAP BI App for which I don't have any code.

Is it possible to open my custom App from SAP BI App.

  • Contact SAP and ask them for the details on that app's URL schema in case that is not documented. – Till May 21 '13 at 12:58

URL Schemes are the only way to communicate between apps.Apps that support custom URL schemes can use those schemes to receive messages.For example, an app that wants to show an address in the Maps app can use a URL to launch that app and display the address. and Here is something useful that i found related

You'll need set a custom URL scheme in your second app for that. Check this tutorial or simply do a search with "iphone custom URL schemes". There's a lot of good tutorials.
