Enterprise Portal DCs 

The Enterprise Portal development consists of the following parts:

·        Portal Application Module

·        Portal Application Standalone

Definition: Portal Application Module

A Portal Application Module DC contains the model classes and structures for an Enterprise Portal Application project.

When you create a Portal Application Module DC, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio will automatically create a public part for assembly that contains the PAR archive and a public part for compilation that contains the API part.

You should not modify automatically generated public parts.

Build Result

Compiled classes and PAR (Portal Archive)

Perspective/View

To process Enterprise Portal Module DCs, use the Portal DC Explorer in the Enterprise Portal perspective.

 

Definition: Portal Application Standalone

A Portal Application Standalone DC contains the model classes and structures for an Enterprise Portal Application project. The difference to the Portal Application Module is the fact that these projects are automatically built in deployable archives (SDA).

When you create a Portal Application Standalone DC, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio will automatically create a public part for assembly that contains the PAR archive and a public part for compilation that contains the API part.

Build Result

Compiled classes and SDA (contains PAR); they are immediately deployable on the server.
