You can deploy models created in Visual Composer to the portal to which you are connected. Models are deployed as PAR packages, and are stored in the Visual Composer folder in the Portal Content Directory (PCD).

Prerequisites

  • To deploy to a development or test portal, you have been assigned a VC role.

  • To deploy to a production portal, you have been assigned an Administrator role.

  • You have defined the target location in the PCD for storing the Visual Composer files. To do this:

    1. In Storyboard, choose   Tools   Options  .

    2. In the Options dialog box, click the Compiler tab and in the Portal deployment folder field, enter the name of the PCD location for Visual Composer files, such as: pcd:portal_content/com.sap.gm.cnt/vcmodels

Process

The process of deploying to the portal is very direct, with no manual coding or compiling required. Follow the procedure outlined in Deploy the Model. The model is automatically compiled and packaged into a standard PAR file in the portal, where it is stored in the PCD.

Result

You can access the deployed files in the portal by choosing   Content Administration   Portal Content   and in the PCD hierarchy, locating the Visual Composer folder.
