Business Package Administration 

Purpose

Business packages are predefined content for completing business tasks. They comprise entire business applications and solutions. This documentation explains all the steps you must work through to install and configure a business package and change it to suit your specific requirements.

Implementation Considerations

Business package administration includes all tasks that are connected with the installation and management of business packages. However, this is not a separate role, like user administration, content administration, or system administration. Instead, business package administration requires all of these roles to fulfill the tasks in this area:

·         User administration to assign roles to users or user groups

·         Content administration to manage portal content

·         System administration to configure the portal and system landscape

These roles are part of the initial content that is delivered and installed with the portal.
In contrast, business packages are delivered separately or the customer can download them himself or herself.

You can find an overview of all business packages on the SAP Developer Network (SDN) in the Portal Content Portfolio (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio).

Integration

Business packages run on SAP NetWeaver Portal and can access different backend systems, for example, SAP ERP or SAP CRM. For more information about which backend systems a business package accesses, see the documentation of the business package in question.
