Content usage mode: WSRP application sharing

Applies to: consumers

Note Note

The functionality described in this topic is not available in an SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment system.

End of the note.

A content administrator on an SAP NetWeaver consumer portal can view the portlets and iViews exposed by a remote non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver producer portal, respectively. The content administrator on the consumer can then create local iViews that reference the remote portlets or iViews on the producer; these local iViews are called proxy-to-portlet iViews.

Typically, this mode is intended to support any SAP NetWeaver consumer portal wanting to consume portlets residing on a non-SAP producer. It also supports SAP NetWeaver-to-SAP NetWeaver connections; however, using the remote delta link mode has numerous advantages over WSRP application sharing (see 'Remote Delta Link' Mode).

Process

The content administrator on the consumer portal does the following:

  1. Launches the Proxy-to-Portlet iView wizard.

  2. Selects the content producer and chooses the relevant remote portlets/iViews.

  3. Creates a proxy-to-portlet iView for each remote portlets/iViews.

  4. Tests the proxy-to-portlet iViews.

  5. Assigns the proxy-to-portlet iView to local pages, worksets, or roles.
