Where are the templates created in Web Application Designer stored

[Former Member]

Gurus,

Templates created in WAD can be either moved to a portal or saved.If they are saved where are they actually stored, whether on the BW server or Web Applivation Server.

What is the difference between moving to portal and saving on WAS.When executing on the browser , how does that work like , is there any difference getting the page/web template from WAS or from portal.

Thanks

Shiv,

As mentioned the web templates get stored on th WAS , also when you execute the Web template , you will see the path , the path also points to the relevant services on the WAS that are activated.

Portal also has a WAS of its own and essentially you are moving from one WAS to another... it is a separate WAS session started by Portal and it points to the web template and through SSo , the WAS of BW is connected and the web template retrieved.

Where it fetchs from in BW also depends on whether the template is precalculated or not.

Hope this helps..

Hi Shiv,

From BW 3.0 Web templates are stored on the SAP Web Application Server. When a request is sent from a Web application to the SAP Web Application Server, a template object is generated. The structure of the requested HTML page is derived from this object.
