Web Platform

The ActiveControl Web Platform is a UI5 front-end, coded in Typescript. As already mentioned in previous section, ActiveControl continues to require an ABAP backend (the AC Domain Controller).##

*Basis Technologies’ decision to go with SAP UI5/Fiori look and feel was made after consultation with a range of our existing Customers, and also due to Basis Technologies’ strategic direction to continue to focus on the SAP marketplace.

Deployment Options

Unlike earlier versions of ActiveControl, the ActiveControl Web Platform requires an additional server in addition to the ActiveControl Domain Controller system. As of ActiveControl Web Platform 9.00, the Web Platform can either be deployed to Node Server or to BTP Server:

As Basis Technologies’ customers have different deployment requirements and different levels of usage of Fiori LaunchPad, the intention is to offer various deployment options.

Triggering the Web Platform via the SAPGUI.

It is possible to trigger the ActiveControl Web Platform from within the SAPGUI of the Domain Controller system, via transaction /BTI/WP_LAUNCH. Note that this requires configuration via table /BTI/WP_URL (again in the SAPGUI backend of the ActiveControl Domain Controller system). More details (and screenshots) can be found in this online Knowledge Article.
