Creating an Internet Service 
Use
In order for you to log onto the SAP system and start a Web application, the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) requires a relevant Internet service. This is created as a development object in the Workbench and includes further components that represent components of an ITS-based Web application.
Prerequisites
· You know the significance of the different ITS implementation modes (screen-based applications versus screen-independent applications).
· If you want to create an Internet service for a transaction (screen-based model), you should check the classification of this transaction in the SAP system and change it if necessary. The default classification of a transaction is Professional User Transaction.
Procedure
You create a new Internet service in the initial screen of the Object Navigator.
1. Open the Object Navigator (transaction: SE80).
2. From the object list, choose Internet Service.
3. Enter a name for the service you want to create.
Note that all Repository objects in the customer namespace begin with Y or Z.
4.
Click 
or
choose Enter to confirm your
entry.
The system checks to see whether or not an object with that name already exists in the SAP system. If it does not exist already, the Create Object dialog box appears.
5. Choose Yes to create the service.
The system displays the Create Internet Service dialog box.
6. Select the Type of Internet Service.
You can
specify the type of Internet service depending on the programming model you
want to use to implement your Web application. In general you can choose a programming model that
is screen-based or screen-independent. If you use the screen-based model, you should choose
the type Screen-based application
and then enter the transaction code
of the relevant SAP transaction. If you only want to generate HTML templates for
some of the screens in the SAP transaction, set also the flag ITS Mixed Mode. For
more information, see Using Mixed
Mode.
If your Web application is for a
programming model based on the flow logic that is not screen-based, you should
select the option for a Flow Logic-Based
Application. You can also enter the name for a Start template. In this case, the
corresponding template is generated once the Internet service has been
created.
7.
Choose 
Save.
The system then displays the Create Object Directory Entry dialog box.
8.
Assign a package to the service and choose 
Save.
Result
The Internet
service has now been created as a development object in the SAP Repository,
and appears in the object list. The service has been assigned the theme 99, which is the current theme.
If you selected the type Screen-Based Application in step 6, the
corresponding parameter ~TRANSACTION
is generated for the service. If
you also set the flag for ITS Mixed
Mode, the corresponding parameters are generated and assigned
values. You can find a short
description of these parameters under Using Mixed
Mode.
Flow Logic-Based Application is only valid for SAP ITS 6.20.
If you chose Flow Logic-Based Application as the type of Internet service, the following 3 parameters are generated:
Parameter |
Value |

~WEBTRANSACTIONTYPE |
