 Communication Between ABAP Back End and Map Provider Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

For fact sheets with integrated geographical maps, geographical coordinates and address data are transferred from the ABAP back-end server to the map provider using HTTP or HTTPS.

Recommendation Recommendation

  • To ensure confidentiality and integrity of data, we strongly recommend protecting HTTP connections by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

  • To communicate with the map provider using a proxy server, use one of the following options:

    • Install a separate SAP Web Dispatcher system.

    • Configure an additional host on the existing SAP Web Dispatcher system.

      You can set up the additional host as a virtual host, or by assigning an extra port.

    Note that SAP Web Dispatcher supports load balancing.

End of the recommendation.

Activities

To use fact sheets with integrated geographical maps, you must buy a map license from a map provider, and you must configure SAP Visual Business accordingly. For more information, see Configure SAP Visual Business to Enable GeoMaps (Fact Sheets).
