Administration of Client Functions 

Use

In the client role, the SAP system sends HTTP requests to a HTTP server from an ABAP application program. The response is displayed or processed further in the SAP client.

Activities

Administrators have the following configuration options:

·        Establishing a Connection Using a Destination (SM59)

You can use transaction SM59 to maintain and administer destinations for HTTP connections.

·        Parallel Processing Requests

You can minimize response times by sending a request in parallel to multiple servers.

·        Redirecting Requests

If a requested server connection is not available, you can redirect the request to a different address.

·        Configuring a Proxy

You can use a proxy server to send your HTTP requests to the Internet.
