Building ITS Services (SAP Library - Internal Service Request)

Building ITS Services

Building an Internet Transaction Server (ITS) service means publishing all the files by 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.

When building a service, the SAP@Web Studio automatically publishes everything. It does not prompt you for file or site information.

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

Prerequisites

To build a service, you must first:

Define an ITS site.

Specify the desired active service.

This is important, because the Build function always publishes the currently active service.

Procedure

In the publish toolbar, choose Build or Project ® Build Service.

Result

The SAP@Web Studio immediately copies all files that make up the service to the ITS server directory and Web server directory, as specified by your ITS site definition.

At the site destination, the SAP@Web Studio compares all file versions, and overwrites any old files with new ones, if they have changed.
