Using XML to Automate Federated Portal Network Tasks

Use

Content usage mode: remote role assignment, remote delta link, WSRP application sharing

Applies to: producers, consumers

The XML Content and Actions tool in the portal allows you to upload an XML file to automatically create semantic portal objects and perform various administration-related actions.

Through XML, you can automate the following tasks while setting up a federated portal network:

  • Configure system properties for a proxy server

  • Create a producer instance (FPN connection) on a consumer portal

  • Register a consumer portal with a producer portal

  • Create remote delta link content on a consumer portal

  • Perform remote role assignment on a consumer portal

To execute these tasks you need to first code the XML file accordingly and then upload the file to the portal.
