Purpose

Alternatively to the SAP GUI, the SAP Web Application Server gives you the option of making applications available using Web-enabled technologies.

In addition to the Internet Transaction Server, which has been used for a few years, Business Server Pages have been used increasingly since the Web Application Servers was introduced to build ABAP-based applications.

 

Business Server Pages

Business Server Pages have a high degree of freedom with respect to application design. Direct programming of HTML means that the application developer can take advantage of all the options of this language. However, this involves a relatively high level of development work. Using the HTMLB library can reduce this work, although it does reduce the developer’s freedom in designing the application. Business Server Pages are based on plain HTML and therefore are very definitely platform and device-specific.
