You use application maintenance to define the sequence of the calls sent by the SAP system to the specified partner application, in order to handle a particular function. The storage system supplier normally performs this maintenance.

Note

You only need to carry out application maintenance if the front end components are connected using OLE Automation 2.0 (if the value "OPEN" has been chosen in protocol maintenance).

To perform application maintenance, choose the following in the Implementation Guide (IMG): SAP Web Application Server ® Basis Services ® ArchiveLink ® Customizing Front End Communication ® Maintain Applications.

For information on executing the individual activities, see the online help in the IMG.

For each function, you can define a sequence of OLE functions, which are processed at runtime. Applications are called by their definition in protocol management.

The diagram below illustrates these options and the procedure for application maintenance.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

This application predefines the syntax that the SAP System uses to communicate with an application called.

Note

You can only maintain OLE Automation 2.0-capable applications for the front end functions, and not AppleScript and OpenDoc.
