The Role from Package option – accessed from the context menu of the folder that you select to contain it – enables you to upload roles from Business Suite packages that have been downloaded to the portal.

You can filter the list of available roles by business package, by role name, or by current use in the Portal Catalog. When you upload the selected role, it is added to the destination folder in the Portal Catalog.

Prerequisites

You or a System Administrator has downloaded business packages from SAP Business Suite.

Procedure

  1. In the Portal Catalog, in the context menu of the folder that will contain the uploaded role, choose   New   Role   Role from Package  . The Role from Package editor appears. The Available Roles from Packages table lists – by default – all roles that have been uploaded in SAP business packages.

    The type of role is indicated by its icon:

    • Workcenter role (Workcenter role)

    • Freestyle role (Freestyle role)

    • Pending role (Pending role)

      Pending roles have not been checked for connectivity to their back-end systems. For more information, see System Landscape Overview.

    End of the note.

  2. You can filter the displayed list of roles as follows:

    • In the Filter field, enter a role name or mask (no need to use asterisks), and choose Go.
