Use

The integration of the BW system and the portal with iViews is possible by using the role migration and the import of iView files. iViews are structured in the portal in channels.

Features

Role migration

With role migration, the iViews contained in the BW role are created in the iView server, where a separate channel is created for each role migrated from the BW system. The channel receives the name of the migrated BW role automatically from the system.

You can view the migrated iViews in the portal in the iView editor by using Content-Admin ® iViews. Select the name of the channel there.

Note

If the iViews already exist in the portal, they are neither deleted nor overwritten. You can remove the iViews manually by using Edit ® Delete.

Import of iView files

BW iViews are in the portal Java iViews.

...

       1.      Therefore, choose the category Java iViews before the import.

       2.      In the iView editor under Content-Admin ® iViews, choose the Import function.

Background documentation

iViews are currently only supported in one language (English).If the English language is not maintained for an iView, then a technical name is created from the logical system and from the BW template ID.

You can change the texts for iViews using Content Admin ® iViews. Select an iView and choose Edit.

Caution

In addition, note that with BEx Web applications under Content Admin ® iViews ® Edit on the Load tab page, the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server has to be activated.

Check

Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.

For the display of iViews in the portal, the assignment of iViews to the portal pages and their assignment to roles is necessary.

Assigning iViews to pages

...

       1.      Under Content-Admin ® Pages, choose the New function to create new pages in the portal.

       2.      Under the Content tab page, select the iViews you want.

Note

If necessary, you need to change the Display selection to All or Not Selected to select new iViews.

Assigning pages to roles

...

       1.      Before a page is able to be viewed by a user, you have to assign it to a role.

       2.      Under Content-Admin ® Roles, select a role for editing and choose Edit.

       3.      Under View Area ® Show, select the Pages entry.

       4.      Select a page and choose Add to add it to a role.

Note

If necessary, select the file as Is Entry Point, so that the page is then able to be viewed.

The option Mark first-level folders as entry point means that the file is valid on the highest level in the role as the point of entry. This selection causes assigned users to this role to receive this file, displayed in the initial navigation bar.

You can also restrict this setting subsequently with the help of Content Admin ® Roles for the specific file.
