Consuming Remote iViews and Portlets by WSRP Application Sharing
Use
|
Content usage mode: WSRP application sharing Applies to: consumers |
A content administrator on an SAP NetWeaver consumer portal can view the portlets and iViews exposed by a remote non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver producer portal, respectively. The content administrator on the consumer can then create local iViews that reference the remote portlets or iViews on the producer; these local iViews are called proxy-to-portlet iViews .
Typically, this mode is intended to support an SAP NetWeaver content administrator that wants to consume portlets residing on a remote non-SAP producer. It also supports SAP NetWeaver-to-SAP SAP NetWeaver connections; however, using the remote delta link mode has numerous advantages over WSRP application sharing (see 'Remote Delta Link' Mode ).
Process
The content administrator on the consumer portal does the following:
-
Creates a proxy-to-portlet iView based on a remote portlet or iView using Generic Portal Application Layer (GPAL) or the iView wizard.
-
Tests the proxy-to-portlet iView on the consumer portal.
-
Assigns the proxy-to-portlet iView to local pages, worksets, or roles.
