Unified Rendering Light Speed in Web Dynpro ABAP

Use

Unified Rendering Light Speed (URLS, LS) is a new rendering technology that is generally supported and used by Web Dynpro ABAP.

Among other things, this new rendering technology provides the following:

Performance improvements for browser rendering
Load-on-demand for JavaScript
Nova Design
Possibility of embedding Adobe FlashIsland applications
New Web Dynpro UI elements such as Drag&Drop
New properties, events, and aggregations for UI elements

The new technology improves the performance of rendering. Rendering is quicker and less resources are consumed on the front end (browser).

All Web Dynpro ABAP applications will be rendered using URLS in the future, rather than with traditional rendering. For end users, the only difference will be quicker response times and a slightly different layout. UI elements and their properties, events, aggregations, and enumerations will now only be updated for the new rendering technology.
