Purpose
This process describes how to publish the Internet Transaction Server (ITS)
files that make up services.Publishing a service means copying the current versions of all the ITS files that make up the service from the SAP@Web Studio to the ITS
site (that is, from your hard disk 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
define an ITS site.Process Flow
There are three ways to publish a service. Use the appropriate function in the SAP@Web Studio’s
publish toolbar, as listed in the following table:Function |
Description |
Publish Files |
Publishes selected files. This function allows you to select the files you want to publish and specify the ITS site to which they should be published. To do this, see Publishing ITS Files. |
Build Service |
Builds the active 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. To do this, see Building ITS Services |
Start Service |
Builds the active 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. To do this, see Starting ITS Services |
Remember that if you want to test a service by starting it, you must first publish all the files.
