Configuring the Portal
The Web-like user interface of a portal provides users with a single point of access to content they need to perform their daily tasks.
You can integrate composite applications, modeled and developed in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (NWCE), into a portal environment for testing and production. You can also use the portal's own built-in tools to create portal content and integrate applications.
Use the federated portal network capabilities of SAP NetWeaver to seamlessly expose applications running in NWCE 7.1 to an existing SAP NetWeaver 7.0 production portal.
This section describes the basic initial configuration tasks which a portal administrator must perform after the installing the CE portal.
