• Key Concepts: 
  HTTP alias is a feature of the SAP Web Container that allows users to assign an alias to a URL. This alias can be used instead of the actual URL when accessing the web application. This feature is useful for providing a more user-friendly URL for web applications, as well as for providing access to multiple web applications with the same URL. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use HTTP alias, you must first create an alias in the SAP Web Container. This can be done by navigating to the “HTTP Aliases” tab in the Web Container configuration page. Once an alias has been created, it can be used instead of the actual URL when accessing the web application. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an HTTP alias, make sure to use a descriptive name that is easy to remember and understand. This will make it easier for users to access the web application using the alias. Additionally, make sure that the alias does not conflict with any existing URLs or aliases.
