Creating an Internet ServiceLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

In order for you to log onto the SAP system and start a Web application, the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) requires a relevant Internet service. This is created as a development object in the Workbench and includes further components that represent components of an ITS-based Web application. In addition the services have to be defined in the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) using transaction SICF.

Prerequisites

  • You know the significance of the different ITS implementation modes.

  • If you want to create an Internet service for a transaction, you should check the classification of this transaction in the SAP system and change it if necessary. The default classification of a transaction is Professional User Transaction.

Procedure

You create a new Internet service in the initial screen of the Object Navigator.

  1. Open the Object Navigator (transaction: SE80).

  2. From the object list, choose Internet Service.

  3. Enter a name for the service you want to create.

    Note that all Repository objects in the customer namespace begin with Y or Z.

  4. Click Display or choose Enter to confirm your entry.

    The system checks to see whether or not an object with that name already exists in the SAP system. If it does not exist already, the Create Object dialog box appears.

  5. Choose Yes to create the service.

    The system displays the Create Internet Service dialog box.

  6. Enter transaction code.

    Enter the transaction code for the transaction you want to run from the web. Please note that due to security reasons it is not recommended anymore to use ITS-Mixed-Mode. The checkbox should be unchecked.

  7. Choose Confirm to save.

    The system then displays the Create Object Directory Entry dialog box.

  8. Assign a package to the service and choose Save.

Result

The Internet service has now been created as a development object in the SAP Repository, and appears in the object list. The service has been assigned the theme 99, which is the current theme. The parameter ~TRANSACTION is generated for the service.
