Demo Program RSWL_INPLACE_INBOX_DEMO to Web Enable an Inbox

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Kenneth,
Don't think there is any BSP version of an inbox even in 6.20 but you could
create one using the SAP_WAPI* function modules - there is one there specifically for
creating a simple inbox list suitable for a web environment.
 
BWSP is the old web inbox.  It should still be there in 6.20.  It is an ITS
service - even in 6.20 the WAS gives the technology to talk directly to the web but
the content has not yet caught up so it is still both possible and common to run
an ITS alongside a 6.20 system.

Greetings All,
 
On our WAS 6.20 (as delivered on BW 3.0), I found an SAP delivered
demonstration ABAP routine RSWL_INPLACE_INBOX_DEMO "Demo Program for Using
an Embedded Inbox".  We need a Web version of this application.
 
We are searching for any existing BSP implementation or a means of
developing a BSP implementation of this Inbox application including the ALV
controls.  Is this available?  Or is documentation or training currently
available adequate to allow us to develop a BSP implementation
ourselves?  FYI, we are eagerly moving on bringing up the R/3 WAS 6.20 on
AIX (which was delivered a few days ago) and will have those resources
available "soon".  Also, how can I find information about the "Internet
Service BWSP"?
 
Thanks for any assistance or helpful suggestions.
