Binding to Portal: Prerequisites 

To be able to integrate a Web Dynpro application, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled.

 

·        You yourself have a user in the portal to which a suitable role is assigned. The role Content Admin, for example, contains all the required authorizations and tools. This should always be the case; if not, contact your portal administrator.

·        The ABAP system in which the application is located must be known to the portal. This, too, should be the case already. Since a special authorization is required for entering the system data, contact your portal administrator to have the ABAP system entered, if necessary. (Documentation about registering the system is available under Editing SAP System Properties). During the following steps, you will need the system alias of the ABAP system that was assigned by the portal administrator in the portal concerned.

For more information on the different roles and the task areas involved, refer to the chapter Administration Guide for the Portal.

·        To test the application afterwards, you must – of course – also have a user in the ABAP system. Using user mappings, you can link your portal user with the ABAP system user in order to avoid a separate logon when calling the application.

 

As soon as these technical prerequisites are fulfilled, log on to the portal and choose the function Content Administration in the initial navigation screen. For a description of the following steps, refer to the document Binding the Application into a Portal.
