Portal Unification with SAP R/3 Systems 

A SAP Enterprise Portal user can see all the portal contents, irrespective of their type and origin. The unification feature of the portal, including relation resolving and Drag&Relate technology links information from different sources.

With the proper setup procedures in the SAP R/3 system, portal users are able to view object from that system. Portal unification permits the users not only to see the contents of an SAP R/3 System, but also:

·        to view relations between the objects

·        to create new relations between the objects and object of other systems

·        to link them to contents in the Web or to objects in other systems using Drag&Relate technology.

In the portal, these actions are launched from iViews and the results returned are displayed in iViews.

To implement the ability of the portal to view R/3 system objects, and in particular to enable the use of relation resolving and Drag&Relate, see Setting Up the SAP R/3 System for Drag&Relate.
