Creating Admin Studio Instances 

An admin studio instance is a page that includes the admin studio foundation iView, and the admin studio basic layout.

An admin studio page can also contain the following iViews:

●      Message Area: Displays admin studio messages.

●      Search: Enables searching of objects in the Portal Catalog.

●      Browse: Displays the Portal Catalog as a tree.

●      Quick Info: Displays information about the currently selected object in the Portal Catalog.

●      Work Container: The container that displays wizards and work units.

All of the iViews are contained in the admin studio page template, located at:

Portal Content → Content Provided by SAP → Admin Interfaces → Admin Page Templates
→ Admin Studio Default Page

portal_content/com.sap.pct/admin.templates/pages
/com.sap.portal.admin_studio_page

Procedure

You can create your own admin studio instance by running an XML Content and Actions script that does the following:

●      Creates a delta link to the admin studio page template.

You can also do this manually by creating a delta link from the template.

●      Configures the new studio by modifying PCD properties in order to specify the following:

○       Entry Points: Specifies the top-level nodes to be displayed in the Portal Catalog. You can choose to show only the Portal Content folder, or only the Business Objects folder, or only the GPAL repositories.

For PCD-related entry points, you can also specify the types of portal objects to display.

○       Actions: Specifies the menu items to display when an administrator right-clicks an object in the Portal Catalog.

You can specify which wizard and work unit to run when the action is selected.

○       Startup Actions: Specifies the actions that are automatically selected when the admin studio instance is opened.

○       Action Providers: Specifies sets of standard actions to be included in the admin studio. For example, you can specify that the cut, copy and paste actions (for working with portal objects) be included. The value is the name of the Web Dynpro component that provides the actions.
