One question often asked at beginner level SAP interviews is relating to the SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS). Below, I am explaining the concept of internet transaction server in SAP R/3 ERP.

Q). What is SAP Internet Transaction Server ITS ?

Answer: SAP Internet Transaction Server allows users to access the SAP R/3 system over the internet via a web browser. SAP designed transactions inSAP R3 with a easy user interface to be used over the internet. To put this in other words, SAP ITS is the middleware which integrates the SAP R/3 ERPp with Internet. The ITS browser allows users to access internet application components (IACs) designed by SAP. These internet application components or scenarios can be customized to company specific requirements.

The SAP internet transaction server consists of W-Gate Web Gate and the A-Gate Application Gate components. The web gate component talks to the web server and the application gate component talk to the SAP R3 application servers. The Web gate component of SAP ITS isolates the A-gate component from the web server. Thus, SAP ITS enables users to access mySAP components with the SAP GUI for HTML. Internet transaction server is the portal generator for the mySAP workplace.
