Define a System 

Use

In this integration scenario the SAP Enterprise Portal and the Web Dynpro application run on different servers. This means that you have to define the system on which the Web Dynpro application is running and create an alias for the system.

Procedure

Creating a folder and defining a system

Define the system on which the Web Dynpro application is running as follows:

...

...

       1.         In the portal, navigate to System Administration  →  System Configuration  →  System Landscape.

       2.      In the Portal Catalog, navigate to the folder in which you want to create the system. You can create a new folder, if needed.

       3.         Click a folder in the Portal Catalog with the secondary mouse button. A context menu is displayed.

       4.         In the context menu, choose New   →  System. The System Landscape Wizard is launched.

       5.      Select SAP backend system with Load Balancing from the Template selection window screen and choose Next button.

       6.      Provide a system name, system ID and prefix for your system. The names are arbitrary, for example:

                            a.      System Name, for example WD_SystemName

                            b.      System ID, for example WD_SystemID

                            c.      System ID Prefix, for example com.sap

                            d.      Save As “System”

                            e.      Choose the Master Language

       7.      Choose Next. On the next screen all entries will be displayed in a summary that allows you to check the entries before finishing. If changes need to be made, choose Back to navigate the relevant screen. Then you can make necessary changes.

       8.      Choose Finish.

 

Defining an Alias for the System

To create the alias for the system, first make sure that the new system is open in the System Landscape Editor. Proceed as follows:

...

       1.         In the Display dropdown list box, choose System Aliases.

       2.      Specify a name for the system alias, for example MySystem. Add the defined alias by choosing  Add.

       3.      To save your changes, choose Save.

 

Defining the Properties Specific to the Web Application Server

...

       1.         Open the system in the System Landscape Editor.

       2.      In the Property Category dropdown list box in the Property Editor, choose Web Application Server (WAS).

       3.      Maintain the following properties:

                            a.      WAS Host Name = <host name>.<domain name>:<port number> (this corresponds to the Web Dynpro server location and the port on which it is running, for example, PXYZ.wdf.sap.corp:50000.)

                            b.      WAS Protocol = http or https (depending on the configuration of the WebAS)

       4.         Save the settings.
