rendering ESS transactions - HTML code templates?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was wondering, how does an ess, or any transaction get rendered into being HTML? If you take the Expense Entry from ESS, it's just transaction TRIP_EWT, but where is the HTML that the page gets created from located? I'm assuming it's on the ITS somewhere, but I have not found it yet.

Cheers,

Kevin

The HTML templates are stored in the folders setup on the host designated as the 'agate'.

By default, this folder would be something like 'usr/local/sap/its/6.20/mmm/templates/trip_ewt/99/'.

Where "mmm" is the name of the agate instance. "99" refers to the default theme. "6.20" refers to the version of the ITS.

One trick you could try is to search the file-system for the language-resource file that would have been automatically seutp for the transaction. It will be in the same directory as the templates. It's name, for your transaction, would be something like 'trip_ewt_en.htrc'. If your language is different, then the 'en' will be different.
