Hi Luke,

<b>iViews</b> can be programmed in any language such as Java,ASP,XML etc.

<b>Java iViews</b> are pieces of content that are displayed in a page of Enterprise Portal.

Java iViews are typically written in JSP or Java and run on the Java iView Runtime servlet engine. A Java iView inherits its properties from the <b>Master iView</b> (see below) upon which it is based. SAP ships Java iViews with its Business Packages; it is also possible to develop your own iViews in Java or JSP,using the API of the Java iView Runtime.

<b>Java iViews</b> were formerly known as SAP MiniApps.

Master iViews are not displayed in a page of Enterprise Portal.

Master iViews are Java-coded elements that enable the following applications and objects to run in Enterprise Portal as Java iViews or External Services:

• R/3 transactions

• R/3 reports

• BW (Business Warehouse) reports

• Internet and intranet sites (via Web-based URLs)

• Documents

Both Java iViews and External Services inherit their properties from the Master iView upon which they are based.

Hope this helps.

Pooja.
