• Key Concepts: 
  An e-tag is an electronic tag used in SAP's Internet Communication Manager (ICM) component. It is a unique identifier that is used to track and identify requests sent to the ICM. The e-tag is generated by the ICM and sent back to the client in the response header. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The e-tag is used by the ICM to identify requests from clients. When a client sends a request, the ICM generates an e-tag and sends it back in the response header. The client can then use this e-tag to identify subsequent requests. This allows the ICM to track requests and ensure that they are processed correctly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using e-tags, it is important to ensure that they are unique for each request. This will help ensure that requests are tracked correctly and that responses are sent back to the correct client.
