Publishing ITS Files 

Publishing an Internet Transaction Server (ITS) 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.

If you want to do this, it is easier to use the Build function, which builds the service and publishes all the files in a single operation. In this case, see Building ITS Services.

  2. Choose Publish Files or Project ® Publish Files.
  3. Enter the desired site name in the Publish to Site field.
  4. Ensure that all the files you want to publish are selected.
  5. Choose OK.
