Portal Binding: Prerequisites

To be able to integrate a Web Dynpro application into a portal, the following prerequisites must be met.

• You have your own user in the portal and have a suitable role assigned to your user. RoleContent 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 should already be the case too. Since a special authorization is required for entering the system data, contact your portal administrator to have the ABAP system entered, if necessary. (For information about registering the system, seeSAP System Properties). In 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 theDifferent Roles and the task areas involved, seeWorkset: Content Administration.

• To test the application afterwards, you also need to have a user in the ABAP system. UsingUser Mappings, you can link your portal user with the ABAP system user in order to avoid a separate logon when calling the application.

Once these technical prerequisites are met, log on to the portal and choose the Content Administration in theInitial Navigation Screen. For a description of the subsequent steps, see Creating Web Dynpro ABAP iViews.
