Use

Content usage mode: WSRP application sharing

Applies to: producers, consumers

Note

If your portal is running SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment with usage type EP Core - Application Portal (EPC), ignore this topic and read Workflow: WSRP Application Sharing instead.

This topic describes the activities that must be performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal to allow WSRP-based applications on the producer portal to be consumed from the remote consumer portal.

For more information about this content usage mode, see 'WSRP Application Sharing' Mode .

Note

This content usage mode is intended to support the sharing of applications between an SAP NetWeaver Portal and a non-SAP portal. Technically, you can use it share content between two SAP NetWeaver portals; however, the remote role assignment and remote delta link modes are preferred. For more information, see 'Remote Role Assignment' Mode and 'Remote Delta Link' Mode .

Prerequisites

  • You have completed the post-installation and basic configuration steps on each portal. The portals must be fully operational.

  • You have fulfilled the minimal prerequisites for implementing FPN in your landscape. For more information, see Prerequisites .

  • The user bases of the portals adhere to the requirements described in User Persistence .

Process

As the SAP NetWeaver CE portal supports producer capabilities only, the basic workflow below only refers to the scenario whereby the SAP NetWeaver CE portal exposes its WSRP-compliant iViews to a non-SAP consumer portal.

Tasks Performed on the SAP NetWeaver CE Producer:

  1. Configure proxy settings

  2. Set your root PCD folder for WSRP-based content requests .

  3. Create a registration password and assign Security Zone permissions .

  4. Create a registration user and password for the consumer .

    Note

    A non-SAP consumer can now register with your portal. Before providing the consumer with the relevant logon information, you may want to first assign access permissions to your content.

  5. Set permissions to local folders and WSRP-compliant iViews and configure necessary iView properties .

A non-SAP consumer can register with your producer portal and integrate your exposed iViews as local WSRP portlets or SAP NetWeaver iViews, respectively.

Tasks Performed on the Non-SAP Consumer:

For information about the activities performed by a non-SAP consumer, refer to the documentation provided by the portal vendor.
