How to use the integrated ITS server in WAS6.40 for WEBGUI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am testing the Portal 6.0SP6 on WAS6.40SP7.

Using User Mapping, I am able to connect and call some transaction to R/3 System (4.6c) and the ITS servers for the R/3 system. If I am going to use webgui to call a transaction, do I need the ITS server at all? The reason I asked because I thought WAS6.40 came with an embedded ITS server.

If I can make use of the integrated ITS server, how do I configure the system connection?

Thanks,

Edmond,

if you want to connect to your 4.6C with webgui, you'll need to set up a separate ITS for this one. The integrated ITS in 6.40 can only be used for the local ABAP stack.

Hi Dominik,

So, there is no way to access a 4.7 with an integrated ITS ?

Should I understand that the integrated ITS is used only for WAS (NW04) ?

Thanks for your help, 😃

Actually though if you have a standalone WebAS you can do this.

I have a standalone WebAS on 640 with the Integrated ITS setup. I have a separate R/3 (46C). I setup my WebGui on 640 to start with a custom transaction. This transaction does an RFC call to the R/3 system. This RFC on the R/3 side then just does a call transaction. If you want to show the main menu on the R/3 you just do a call transaction to SMEN.

Is it possible to use the WAS 6.40 on a BW 3.5 system to access an R/3 4.72 system (which doesn't come with the integrated WAS 6.40)?

You can use the same process I described in the previous post. Instead of the standalone WebAS, you would be using your BW 3.5 system.

Thomas,

just to make sure, you are promoting a technique, which SAP does not recommend nor supports any problems which might occur in such a system setup.

The intgrated ITS with SAP Web AS 6.40 will only be supported for the ABAP system (and its applications) it belongs to.

Are you saying that doing an RFC call is from an ITS transaction isn't supported? I understand that the scope of the integrate ITS is supposed to be just the local system that it is running on, however distributed applications that call parts and pieces from different systems in a landscape are a reality.

Of course, doing an RFC call from a transaction is supported, if the application needs this (distributed systems) and this RFC call would also be necessary when you use another GUI (e.g. SAP GUI for Windows).

But we do not support to put SAP Web AS with integrated ITS in front of older systems (e.g. 4.6C) just for tunneling HTTP requests. Standalone ITS was and still is the (tested) solution for these kind of scenarios.
