Procedure documentationSetting the Content Invalidation Policy for Remote Delta Links Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Content usage mode: remote delta link

Applies to: consumers

Note Note

The functionality described in this topic does not apply to an SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment system.

End of the note.

You can specify how the system deals with remote delta link content on a consumer after a system administrator has removed an FPN connection.

You configure the default behavior by activating or deactivating the FPNProducerService service:

Mode

Behavior when FPN connection is deleted

Activated

(default)

Any remote delta link content related to the deleted FPN connection instance becomes invalidated on the consumer – the objects in the Portal Catalog are displayed as unresolved delta links.

Note Note

If an instance to the same producer portal is recreated with the same primary FPN connection alias, the unresolved remote delta links are not restored.

End of the note.

Deactivated

When the service is deactivated, any remote delta link content related to the deleted producer instance is not completely invalidated on the consumer – objects in the Portal Catalog are displayed as valid delta links; however, they will fail at runtime.

Note Note

The advantage of this mode is that an unresolved remote delta link can be restored and retain its functionality if an instance to the same producer portal is recreated with the same primary FPN connection alias as before.

The disadvantage is that it may be difficult for a content administrator on the consumer to locate the invalidated content in the Portal Catalog in order to manually delete the objects.

End of the note.
