Using XML to Automate Federated Portal Network Tasks

Content usage mode: remote role assignment, remote delta link, WSRP application sharing

Applies to: producers, consumers

Note Note

Any functionality related to a consumer portal does not apply to an SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment system.

End of the note.

The XML Content and Actions tool in the portal allows you to upload an XML file to automatically create semantic portal objects and perform various administration-related actions. The tool also allows you to generate (export) an XML file from existing portal semantic objects, including content and producer objects.

Through XML, you can automate the following tasks while setting up a federated portal network:

Configure system properties for a proxy server
Create a producer instance (FPN connection) on a consumer portal
Register a consumer portal with a producer portal
Create remote delta link content on a consumer portal
Perform remote role assignment on a consumer portal

To execute these tasks you need to first code the XML file accordingly and then upload the file to the portal.
