Creating Proxy-to-Portlet iViews 
Content usage mode: WSRP application sharing Applies to: consumers
The functionality described in this topic is not available in an SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment system. End of the note. |
This topic describes how you create proxy-to-portlet iViews in the portal based on remote portlets or remote iViews exposed by another non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver producer portal, respectively.
Prerequisites
You have added the producer, tested the connection, and registered your portal.
You have administrator read permission to the producer object from which you want to retrieve content. For more information, see Assigning Administrator Permissions to FPN Connections.
If you are consuming content from an SAP NetWeaver producer:
You have at least administrator read permission to the remote content located on the producer. For more information, see Exposing iViews on the Producer for 'WSRP Application Sharing' Usage.
The content administrator on the producer portal has set the Expose as WSRP Application property in each iView to Yes.
If you are consuming content from a non-SAP producer, the portal administrator from the producer has configured the portlets so they are exposed to external consumers.
You have access to the standard Content Admin role on the consumer portal.
Procedure
In the consumer portal, navigate to
Content Administration 
Portal Content Management 
. The Portal Content Studio is launched.In the Portal Catalog, right-click a folder in which you want to create the proxy-to-portlet iViews, and then choose
New iView .In the iView wizard, do the following in each step:

Note
The name of each proxy-to-portlet iView is the same as its source portlet or iView. The ID of each proxy-to-portlet iView is taken from the wsrp.portletID field returned by the producer.
To test a proxy-to-portlet iView, right-click it in the Portal Catalog and choose Preview.
You now manage these copied objects as you would with any other local objects; for more information, see Working with Proxy-to-Portlet iViews.
