Use

BSPs have a number of general properties or attributes. For example, each BSP is assigned to a package in the SAP system, and each BSP has a URL used to call up the BSP in a Web browser. The following describes the most important additional properties.

Page Type

You can find additional information about the different features of a page in Structure of a BSP Application.

Error Handling

For more information, see Creating Error Pages.

State

A BSP can be stateful or stateless. For more information, see Session Handling.

Caching

For more information, see Caching BSPs.

Transmission Options

You can set the flags Compression and HTTPS as the transmission options.

  • Compression

    If you set this flag, the page is sent compressed to the browser, provided that the browser supports compression.

    Caution

    Note that it only makes sense to activate compression for large pages. It is considerably more efficient to send small pages uncompressed. By default the flag is not set.

  • HTTPS

    By selecting this flag, you can determine that a BSP should be accessed using HTTPS, that is, a secure connection. The BSP runtime then checks the URL. In the case ofhttp://... it redirects the browser immediately to https://.... .

    Caution

    Note the following browser-specific feature: As soon as you activate HTTPS, all other BSPs in your BSP application are also accessed through HTTPS. By default the flag is not set.
