ITS Service Publishing (SAP Library - Internal Service Request)

ITS Service Publishing

Purpose

This process describes how to publish the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) files that make up a service.

Publishing a service means copying the current versions of all the relevant files from the SAP@Web Studio on your PC to the ITS site (that is, to the relevant directories on the ITS server or the Web server). At runtime, the ITS uses these files to generate the HTML pages displayed in the user’s Web browser.

Prerequisites

Before you can publish any files in a service, you must first define an ITS site.

Process Flow

When you publish a service, you need to:

Specify the active ITS service

Publish the service to an ITS site.

There are three ways to publish an ITS service. Use the appropriate function in the SAP@Web Studio’s publish toolbar, as listed in the following table:

Function	Effect
	Publish function. Publishes individual files in a service. This function allows you to select the files you want to publish, and specify the ITS site to which they should be published.
	Build function. Builds the service and publishes all the files. This function publishes all the files that make up a service to the currently active ITS site in a single operation. You cannot select individual files or specify an ITS site.
	Go function. Builds the service, publishes all the files, and starts the service. This function publishes all the files that make up a service to the currently active ITS site in a single operation, and starts the service at the same time. You cannot select individual files or specify an ITS site.

If you want to publish individual files in a service, see Publishing ITS Files.

Remember that if you want to test the service, you must first publish all the files.

If you want publish all the files in a service, see Building ITS Services.

If you want to publish all the files in a service, and test the service at the same time, see Testing ITS Services.
