SAP Internet Transaction Server (SAP ITS) is a key component that enables web-based access to SAP applications, allowing users to interact with SAP systems through a browser instead of the traditional SAP GUI. By bridging SAP and the web, SAP ITS enhances accessibility for employees, partners, and customers, streamlining business processes and improving user experience.
This article covers how SAP ITS works, its key features, and the benefits of web-based SAP access for users in the modern enterprise landscape.
What is the SAP Internet Transaction Server?
The SAP Internet Transaction Server (BC-FES-ITS) acts as an interface between the SAP system and the Internet, enabling users to run business transactions, function modules, and reports and facilitate direct communication with the SAP system from a Web browser.
SAP ITS is based on the data interface between ABAP programs and screens and consists of two key components: the Web gateway (WGate) and the Application gateway (AGate). These components streamline the connection between the Internet and the AS ABAP system and improve access to SAP transactions executed via a Web server.
This web-based approach enhances user accessibility and extends the reach of critical SAP applications, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency.
Understanding SAP ITS Connections
SAP ITS serves as the critical link between the Internet and the SAP R/3 system, and it enables users to communicate directly between the R/3 system to run reports, R/e transactions, and remote-enabled function modules. Here are a few additional Web technologies that ITS supports for R/3 data access:
- Web remote function call (RFC)
- ITS Flow Logic
- Web transactions
- SAP GUI for HTML
