Web applications for Solution Manager
There are many web applications delivered by SAP for solution manager. These applications can be easily integrated into the Enterprise portal and provide web base access for all the business users. I summaries these applications into below three categories according the technologies it uses.
ITS based web applications
The ITS (Internet Transaction Server) is the essential link between SAP systems and the Internet. It is the first generation web technology of SAP.ITS translates the dialog protocol of SAPGUI into the internet protocol like HTTP.
You can access the default SAP WebGUI use below URL pattern: http://solutionmanagerhost /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=XXX.All the transactions can that marks SAPGUI for HTML can be viewed in the browser.
If you want to adapt the default web UI, please follow my another blog SAP WebGUI Introduction.
BSP applications
After ITS, SAP developed a new technology name BSP. It is a page-based programming language with server-side scripting as well as server page technology for developing, designing and implementing Web applications. You can find a comprehensive documentation from here.
In solution manager, you can create a new project using a BSP application called ai_proj_setup.It can also be accessed using tcode: AI_SPS.
Web Dynpro applications
Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces and provides support when developing the Web representation of business applications.
There are so many web deypro applications for solution manager. I just take ‘ags_change_request_create‘ for an example. It is the application that allows user create a change request directly.You can visit it using URL like: https://solutionmanagerhost /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/ags_change_request_create.
More web based applications can be found in solution manager using t-code: SICF.
