What's an IAC?

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

my question is quite simple...

What's an IAC?

I have to install a Business Package in EP and comunicate it with the ESS in the backend system.

I have read that the Portal shows the backend content via ITS & IAC, but... What's the IAC?

Could anybody please tell me something about the process of publishing the backend content in the Portal?

Any help, links or documentation are very welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Alberto.

Hello Alberto,

an IAC is an internet application component. It runs through the ITS. Check out help.sap.com, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/216fe21784648ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

An IAC allows you to create an application which looks the way you want it. An IAC is in many ways like a BSP application, the main difference is that an IAC runs through the ITS. The main advantage with the IAC is that you can get the screens created by the ITS, and then modify them to suit your needs.

I would advice you to read Raja webblog /people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/08/21/running-your-first-its-webgui-application-in-sap-netweaver-04-abap-edition--nsp, it is about the integrated ITS. But is should give you a grasp of the process of creating an IAC on the integrated ITS

In order to get the business package installed you import it into the portal. This will give you a lot of new iviews in you pcd. Then create a portal system with a alias which maches the ones in the iview, for this system you must have defined the ITS server.
