SAP Internet Transaction Server
The SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) is used to display graphical application interfaces as HTML pages. This means that the user only needs a web browser instead of special software such as the SAP GUI . Both SAP -own and from the user self-developed applications can be operated by means of the ITS.
Usage examples
- SAPGUI for HTML (webgui), the SAP GUI user interface using HTML and JavaScript , which allows the operation of almost all transactions implemented in ABAP in a SAP system
- Information systems for customers, suppliers or employees of a company
- Online ordering systems, web shops
variants
Stand-alone ITS
- Can run as a client up to and including SAP Basis / SAP Web Application Server 6.40
- It consists of two components that are largely separate from each other and from the SAP system ( SAP Web AS ) behind it :
- a W-Gate that runs as an extension of a web server (e.g. Apache, IIS from Microsoft)
- an A-Gate that communicates with a SAP Web AS (including using SAP's own DIAG protocol)
- Linux and Microsoft Windows are supported
- Application logic and data storage usually completely in the SAP Web AS
Integrated ITS
- from SAP Basis / Web AS 6.40 ( SAP NetWeaver '04)
- The functions of the ITS are now completely provided by the SAP Web AS ABAP (with the exception of some interfaces whose support has generally been discontinued); This means that the ITS can be used on a large number of operating systems and is no longer a separate component.
- The scope of functions and application areas clearly overlap with the formatting functions of the SAP Web AS Java , which is technically completely separate and uses different methods internally.
