Creating Proxy-to-Portlet iViews 

Applicable to: WSRP application sharing 

Use

This topic describes how you create proxy-to-portlet iViews in the portal based on remote portlets or remote iViews exposed by another non-SAP or NetWeaver producer portal, respectively.

Prerequisites

●      You have added the producer portal, tested the connection, and registered your portal.

●      You have administrator read permission to the producer object from which you want to retrieve content. For more information, see Assigning Administrator Permissions to Producer Objects.

●      If you are consuming content from a NetWeaver producer:

○       You have at least administrator read permission to the remote content located on the producer portal. For more information, see Exposing WSRP iViews on the Producer for NetWeaver Consumers.

○       The content administrator on the producer portal has set the Expose as WSRP Application property in each iView to Yes.

●      If you are consuming content from a non-SAP producer portal, the portal administrator from the producer has configured the portlets as required so that they are exposed to external consumers.

●      You have access to the standard Content Admin role on the consumer portal.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the consumer portal, navigate to Content Administration ® Portal Content. The Portal Content Studio is launched.

       2.      In the Portal Catalog, right-click a folder in which you want to create the proxy-to-portlet iViews, and then choose New ® iView.

       3.      In the iView wizard, do the following in each step:

Step Name	Instructions
Source Type	Choose iView template.
Template Selection	Choose Proxy-to-Portlet iView (WSRP).
Select the Content Producer	Choose a NetWeaver or non-SAP producer portal on which the target content resides.
Select the Portlets	Select the relevant remote iViews/portlets and add them to the Selected Portlet pane. To select multiple iViews/portlets, press the Ctrl key.
Summary	Review the list of iViews/portlets you have selected. To make changes, click Back until you reach the relevant step in you want to make changes.

       4.      Click Finish to create a proxy-to-portlet iView for each remote iView/portlet you selected.

Result

You have created a proxy-to-portlet iView for each remote portlet/iView you selected in the iView Wizard.

The name of each proxy-to-portlet iView is the same as its source portlet or iView. The ID of each proxy-to-portlet iView is taken from the wsrp.portletID field returned by the producer.

To test a proxy-to-portlet iView, right-click it in the Portal Catalog and choose Preview.

You now manage these copied objects as you would with any other local objects; for more information, see Working with Proxy-to-Portlet iViews.

For information on how proxy-to-portlet iViews on the consumer relate to their source iViews/portlets on the producer, see 'WSRP Application Sharing' Mode.
