SAP Internet Transaction Server (SAP ITS)
The SAP Internet Transaction Server (SAP ITS) is an interface between
the SAP system and the Internet. It allows users to communicate
directly with the SAP system by starting business transactions,
function modules, and reports from a Web browser. If a user calls an
application, the request is forwarded to the Web server with which the
Web browser is connected. The Web server transfers the request to the
SAP ITS, which creates a connection to the SAP system. SAP ITS then
controls the communication and the data exchange between the SAP
system and the Web server. SAP ITS consists of two main components:
the WGate (Web Gateway) and the AGate (Application Gateway).
SAP Logon
When it is started, the SAP Logon program (only available for
Microsoft Windows) provides a list of SAP systems for which the
logon process can be started. This list is taken from the information in
a file on the front end: saplogon.ini. Thisfileisusuallypreconfigured
centrally and provided to end users. The SAP Logon program also
allows logon load balancing across the resources available for the
selected system at logon.
SAP NetWeaver

platform from SAP. SAP NetWeaver allows you to simplify
and co-ordinate user, information, and business processes across
technology and organizations. SAP NetWeaver offers full
compatibility with the Microsoft .NET and J2EE (z.B. IBM
WebSphere ) standards. SAP NetWeaver is divided into the
following areas: People Integration, Information Integration, Process
Integration, and Application Platform.
SAP Notes
An SAP Note is text information about a particular issue, problem, or
system message that can arise in the context of your work with the
system. All SAP Notes are stored at SAP in a database that is available
online, and can be called up by customers from there. A possible
question could be, for example: “Which database versions of database
XY are released in combination with my SAP system release?”
