Install Sana Web Service for SAP Business One Cloud

A Sana web store connects to SAP Business One Cloud through the Web service implemented by Sana. The Sana Web service for SAP Business One Cloud is hosted in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. It uses SAP Business One Service Layer to establish connection between Sana and SAP Business One Cloud.

The Sana Web service for SAP Business One Cloud can be installed on any server as long as it can be used as a connection between Sana and SAP Business One Cloud using the Service Layer.

Sana delivers the installer to install and configure the Sana Web service for SAP Business One Cloud.
