EP5 & IACs... help please

[Former Member]

Hi

I am new to EP, So please forgive me if I ask some basic or stupid questions.

We are using EP5 with 46C, Right now we have a few developments, which uses ITS as the interface. Now we are planning to migrate this to EP, We would like to keep the Developments which are already done in ABAP i.e. what ever we are showing in ITS have to go to EP.

I know that we can use a transaction Iview here, but the display will be no different compared to sapgui for HTML. We want to make use of HTMLB style Look and feel which is much better.

I have heard of IACs, but I am not sure how to go about doing this, I would appreciate if some one here can guide me or point me towards some documentation that shows how to work with IAC in EP.

I would also like to know if there is any other way of achieving this look and feel other than IACs.

Thank you for the help

cheers

Hi Raj,

IAC(Internet Accessible Components..like ESS,MSS) are available in different development flavours(ITS based, JAVA based & WebDynpro based). You have to decided which particular version to use based on your R/3 version. You can use your existing ITS based services in portal. All you need to do is to create URL iview to your ITS service.

Hi Prakash

Thanks for the quick reply.

Like you said, if i choose to go with URL iviews, I have to do the delopment in ABAP then convert that to ITS Service and then call it as a url in Portal. Instead of doing this is there any way i can eliminate creation of ITS service? I.e. I develop a transaction in ABAP then directly use EP to access it, but with a different look and feel other than normal SAP.

Can you suggest some document I can look at to get more info an IACs please.

Cheers

Raj
