1.1 Web Server Introduction and Overview


The Liquid UI Web Server is a centralized, browser-based tool that allows you to deploy Liquid UI to both web-based and smartphone clients. It also serves as a central repository for your Liquid UI scripts and simplifies SAP processes and transactions. Additionally, you can use the Web Server along with third-party applications such as Adobe PDF forms and Microsoft SharePoint. The technical documentation for the Web Server covers the following topics:

  • Installation
  • Configuration
  • Features
  • Deployment
  • Appendices

Overview

The benefits of Liquid UI Web Server include eliminating the need for Java or ABAP coding, enabling data retrieval without reloading the entire page (which reduces network traffic), and creating URLs for iViews, allowing access from almost anywhere. Liquid UI Web Server can be used in conjunction with the WebUI and Access solution suites, and can also be integrated with other solutions. For example, data in PDF forms can be sent to SAP directly or through a portal such as SharePoint. In the Desktop solution suite, users will use the Liquid UI Server instead of the Web Server.

Beginning with the 1.2.203.0 release, the Liquid UI Web Server includes support for the HTML5 standard. The following web browsers are supported with HTML5.

  • Chrome 28 or newer
  • Firefox 22 or newer
  • Safari 6.0 or newer
  • Internet Explorer 10 or newer
 

In addition, this release supports switching styles while using SAP with WebUI. The supported styles are as follows.

  • 2010
  • Classic
  • Liquid
 

To switch styles, add the style as a part of the WebUI link in your browser. The code would be '&style=<style_name>'.

An example using the 'liquid' style is shown below.
