Defining an ITS Site 

To define an Internet Transaction Server (ITS) site, you need to specify the ITS server and Web server locations of all the ITS files – services, HTMLBusiness templates, flow files, language resources, and Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) files – that make up a service.

Procedure

To define an ITS site, you use the SAP@Web Studio site wizard:

  1. Choose Project ® Site Definition.

    2. You see the Site Definition dialog box.

  2. Choose New.

    3. You see the Site Wizard.

  3. Enter a site name, and choose Next.
  4. Enter the Web server host name, and choose Next.
  5. Enter the ITS server host name, and choose Next.
  6. Define the shared directories on the Web server and the ITS server.

What you have to do here depends on whether you allow the SAP@Web Studio to determine the location of the ITS files (ITS Virtual Shares) or whether you want to define your own (Custom Shares):

ITS Version

Procedure

2.0 and later

Enter an ITS virtual instance name.

The SAP@Web Studio automatically defines the following shared directories:

  • <ITS instance>_ITS for non-MIME files stored on the ITS server.
  • <ITS instance>_WWW for MIME files stored on the Web server.

1.0/1.1

In these earlier ITS versions, you need to define the shared directories for the Web server and ITS server explicitly.

This option allows you to determines the shared directories and their location yourself by entering the Web server URL and ITS server URL. You can use both NetBIOS or FTP connections.

Connection

Procedure

NetBIOS
  1. Create shared directories on the Web server and ITS server.
  2. Enter the Web server URL.

    3. This determines the location of the MIME files.

    Example: //<host name>/<Web share>/<dir>

  3. Enter ITS server URL

This determines the location of all other ITS files

Example: //<host name>/<ITS share>

FTP
  1. Set up an FTP server and an FTP root directory with write access, so you can publish the files.
  2. Enter Web server URL

    3. This determines the location of the MIME files.

    Example: ftp://<host name>:<port number>/<dir>

  3. Enter ITS server URL

This determines the location of all other ITS files

Example: ftp://<host name>:<port number>
