Creating HTMLBusiness Templates (SAP Library

Creating HTML^Business Templates

You must create an HTML^Business template for every screen in an Internet application.

If you are developing applications using the Web transactions implementation model, it is best to create HTML^Business templates with the SAP@Web Studio template wizard, but you can also create the files manually.

If you are developing applications using the flow file implementation model, you must create the files manually.

Prerequisites

There must be a user in the R/3 System which your service is using.

You must create a service file first.

Procedure

To create an HTML^Business template using the template wizard:

Choose File ® New and select the File Wizards tab.

Select Template Wizard.

Ensure that Add to Project is selected, and that the project directory name is correct.

Choose OK.

Select an R/3 System that contains the required screen information and choose Next.

Enter the required R/3 logon information and choose Next.

Logon information includes the client, user name, password, and logon language.

If you define service-specific logon information, remember that the language key must be:

One character for R/3 releases prior to 4.0 (for example, e for English)

Two characters for R/3 releases from 4.0 (for example, en for English)

Enter the required R/3 screen information and choose Next.

Enter values in the fields as described in the following table:

Field	Value
Program	Program name of R/3 transaction.
Screen Number	Screen number of program.
Service	The SAP@Web Studio proposes the current service.
Style	Template style. There are four possible template styles: Classic Business WebGUI Mobile Devices The style you choose depends on the type of application you are developing. When you select a style, a description of the main features is displayed on the left.
Theme	The SAP@Web Studio proposes the default theme 99 . Unless you intend to create more than one theme for your service, or you want to change the name for some other reason, leave the theme unchanged.
Language dependent	If you want to keep your templates language-independent, ignore the Language dependent box. Whenever possible, you should use this option. If you need to create language-specific templates, check the Language dependent box and select a language.

Choose Finish to confirm.

Result

The SAP@Web Studio:

Creates the HTML^Business template and displays it in the project workspace under the current service and theme.
Activates the Editor menu in the menu bar

The Editor menu contains functions for editing HTML^Business templates.

The format of the file name depends whether you have created a language-independent template or a language-specific HTML^Business template:

File Type	File Format
Language-independent	<program name>_<screen number>.html
Language-specific	<program name>_<screen number>_<language>.html

You edit HTML^Business templates in the HTMLBusiness editor.
