Integrating an Application in the Portal 

In the navigation panel on the Portal homepage, goto Content Administration and open the folder portal_content.

 

 You can create your application in any folder or insert a separate folder for your application.

       1.      Right-click the portal_content folder and choose New ® iView.

     

       2.      The iView wizard opens. Select the source application type and choose Next.

 To integrate a Web Dynpro ABAP application, choose iView template.

 

       3.      From the list choose SAP Web Dynpro iView followed by Next.

       4.      Enter a name for your application and choose Next.

       5.      Specify the type, since you want to integrate an ABAP application.

Enter the System Alias and specify the namespace and name of the application. The namespace is sap. You can find the application name in the ABAP system.

       6.      Choose Next and then Finish.

Now the application is ready to start.

Additional Settings

You can also make further settings for your application.

Size

Open the iView and choose Appearance ® Size from the dropdown list box.

The standard size of iViews is 80 pixels. This is not large enough for complex applications.  Therefore, change the size to Automatic or Full Height, or increase the number of pixels.

Displaying the iView

The iView has now been created, but you can only display it after setting up the access. Since all applications in the Portal are provided via Portal Pages, you will generally have to assign the new iView to a page first. This page is in turn assigned to a role and is called via the role.

However, provided the application is to be called only for test purposes by developer himself, the iView can also be assigned to a corresponding test role.

 Carry out the following steps to assign the iView to a role.

                            a.      Open the role by right-clicking and select the folder in the role you want to assign the iView to.

                            b.      Find the iView in the portal content on the right-hand side.

                            c.      Right-click to add the iView to the role as a delta link.

                            d.      Now your iView will appear in the menu structure.
