Workflow: WSRP Application Sharing
Purpose
This topic describes the basic activities that must be performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal to expose and consume WSRP-based applications.
For more information about this content usage mode, see 'WSRP Application Sharing' Mode.
Typically you use the content usage mode to share applications between a NetWeaver portal and a non-SAP portal. Technically, you can use it share content between NetWeaver portals; however, the remote role assignment and remote delta link modes are preferred (see 'Remote Role Assignment' Mode and '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 workflows describe the sequence of basic activities performed by administrators in the following scenarios:
● An SAP NetWeaver producer portal exposing its WSRP-compliant iViews to:
○ a non-SAP consumer portal
○ An SAP NetWeaver consumer portal
● An SAP NetWeaver consumer portal consuming:
○ WSRP portlets exposed by a non-SAP producer portal
○ iViews exposed by an SAP NetWeaver producer portal
For information about the activities performed by a non-SAP consumer or producer, refer to the documentation provided by the portal vendor.
Workflow for SAP NetWeaver Producers
...
1. Configure your user repository.
2. Configure your proxy settings.
3. Set your root PCD folder for WSRP-based content requests (for non-SAP consumers only).
4. Configure your registration password.
5. If you are providing content to non-SAP consumers, then create a registration user and password for the consumer.
A non-SAP consumer can now register with your portal; however you may want to first assign access permissions to your content before providing the consumer with the relevant logon information.
6. Set permissions to local folders and iViews:
○ Set permissions for non-SAP consumers
○ Set permissions for SAP NetWeaver consumers
A non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver consumer can now integrate your exposed iViews as local WSRP portlets or SAP NetWeaver iViews, respectively.
Workflow for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Consumers
Accessing Documentation for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Consumers
To use the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 consumer portal documentation hyperlinks 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.

1. Configure your user repository.
2. Configure your proxy settings.
3. Add a non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver producer.
5. Test the connection to the producer.
6. Register your consumer portal.
7. Assign administrator permissions (to the producer object).
8. Create proxy-to-portlet iViews.
9. Assign proxy-to-portlet iViews to self-created pages and roles.
10. Assign self-created roles to users and groups.
11. Assign end-user permission to producer object and content.
