Workflow: Remote Delta Link 

Purpose

This topic describes the basic activities performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal, which enable a content administrator on the consumer portal to copy remote content as delta links from the producer portal, and to then reuse and customize the content locally. For more information, see 'Remote Delta Link' Mode.

Prerequisites

·        Each portal has been installed and you have completed the initial configuration steps. Each portal must be fully operational.

·        The user bases of all portals in the network adhere to the requirements described in User Persistence.

Process Flow

The following table lists the sequence of activities performed by administrators on the producer and consumer portals.

Note that some activities need to be performed by the producer before the consumer can proceed and vice versa; while some steps can be performed by the producer and consumer in any order. This is indicated by the numbering sequence in the procedure below.

 

Accessing Documentation for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Consumers

To use the consumer portal documentation hyperlinks (in the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Consumer Portal column below), you must have access to SAP Help Portal at sap.help.com. To view documentation for the SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 release, change saphelp_nw70 in the aforementioned URL to saphelp_nw70ehp1.

SAP Library documentation on SAP Help Portal always reflects the latest SAP NetWeaver support package stack (SPS) that has been released to customers. Use the links below only if you are certain that your software version matches the documentation version on the SAP Help Portal. To identify the documentation version, click SAP Library at the top of the SAP Library documentation page. For information about obtaining SAP Library documentation for earlier releases, go to the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/maintenanceNW70.
