Business Server Pages 

When Web applications are created as BSP applications there are various administration settings, especially from the layers below the BSP programming model of the Internet Communication Manager (ICM) and the Internet Communication Framework (ICF).

First Steps

To learn how to create Web applications with Business Server Pages, you can work through the simple step-by-step Tutorials.

Prerequisites

The following configuration prerequisites must be fulfilled:

·        ICF services must be activated.

If a service is not activated by default, you can activate it from the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG). In transaction SPRO choose Display SAP Reference IMG. The path in the Implementation Guide for SAP NetWeaver is: Application Server  ®  Internet Communication Framework  ®  Activate HTTP Servicesor Activate Services in Installation.

Also see SAP Note 517484.

• Administration of (ICF) server functions (authorization assignment): Administration of Server Functions
• Administration of (ICF) client functions (creation of RFC destinations, and so on): Administration of Client Functions

·        HTTP/HTTPS must be set in the ICM (see also Displaying and Changing Services).
