This section includes information for administering the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer server.

In general, all system management, user management and software-change management is carried out using the standard J2EE and portal procedures. As such, this section details the technical operations that are specific to Visual Composer only.

Technical System Landscape

The Visual Composer server is installed on the Development Server, running on the SAP J2EE Engine, which runs the connected portal. Storyboard is accessed from the client machine through a standard browser. At runtime, the user accesses the deployed model by calling up the portal using the browser.

The following diagram illustrates the Visual Composer high-level architecture.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

The models deployed by Visual Composer to the portal include runtime metadata, which is stored with the model in the PCD and exported in the business package, for delivery to customers.
