Workflow: Remote Delta Link Usage
|
Content usage mode: remote delta link Applies to: producers, consumers Note
If your portal is running SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment without usage type EP Core - Application Portal (EPC), ignore this topic and read Workflow: Remote Delta Link Usage instead. |
This topic describes the basic activities performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal, which enable a content administrator on the consumer portal to copy remote content as delta links from the producer portal, and to then reuse and customize the content locally.
For more information about this content usage mode, see 'Remote Delta Link' Mode .
-
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 .
The following table lists the sequence of activities performed by administrators on the producer and consumer portals.
Some activities need to be performed by the producer before the consumer can proceed and vice versa. Steps marked with the same number in both columns indicate that the steps can be performed by the producer and the consumer in any order or in parallel.
It is assumed that both portals are running the same SAP NetWeaver release.
If you are connecting your SAP NetWeaver Portal to an SAP NetWeaver Portal running a different release, do not use the respective documentation links provided in the table below. Instead, refer to the FPN documentation for that release on SAP Help Portal at help.sap.com .
For example, you can find documentation for implementing a federated portal network in an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 environment with SAP enhancement package 1 at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm. Remember that the SAP Library documentation on SAP Help Portal always reflects the latest SAP NetWeaver support package stack that has been released to customers.
