Workflow: WSRP Application Sharing
Purpose
This topic describes the basic activities that must be performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal to expose and consume WSRP-based applications.
For more information about this content usage mode, see 'WSRP Application Sharing' Mode.
Typically you use the content usage mode to share applications between a NetWeaver portal and a non-SAP portal. Technically, you can use it share content between SAP NetWeaver portals; however, the remote role assignment and remote delta link modes are preferred (see 'Remote Role Assignment' Mode and 'Remote Delta Link' Mode).
Prerequisites
See Prerequisites.
Process Flow
The following workflows list the sequence of basic activities performed by administrators in the following scenarios:
● An SAP NetWeaver producer portal exposing its WSRP-compliant iViews to:
○ a non-SAP consumer portal
○ an SAP NetWeaver consumer portal
● An SAP NetWeaver consumer portal consuming:
○ WSRP portlets exposed by a non-SAP producer portal
○ iViews exposed by an SAP NetWeaver producer portal
For information about the activities performed by a non-SAP consumer or producer, refer to the documentation provided by the portal vendor.
Workflow for SAP NetWeaver Producers
...
1. Configure your user repository.
2. Configure your proxy settings.
3. Set your root PCD folder for WSRP-based content requests (for non-SAP consumers only).
4. Configure your registration password.
5. If you are providing content to non-SAP consumers, then create a registration user and password for the consumer.
A non-SAP consumer can now register with your portal; however you may want to first assign access permissions to your content before providing the consumer with the relevant logon information.
6. Set permissions to local folders and WSRP-compliant iViews and configure necessary iView properties:
○ Set permissions and configure properties for non-SAP consumers
○ Set permissions and configure properties for SAP NetWeaver consumers
A non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver consumer can now integrate your exposed iViews as local WSRP portlets or SAP NetWeaver iViews, respectively.
Workflow for SAP NetWeaver Consumers
...
1. Configure your user repository.
2. Configure your proxy settings.
3. Add a non-SAP or SAP NetWeaver producer.
5. Test the connection to the producer.
6. Register your consumer portal.
7. Assign administrator permissions (to the producer object).
8. Create proxy-to-portlet iViews.
9. Assign proxy-to-portlet iViews to self-created pages and roles.
10. Assign self-created roles to users and groups.
11. Assign end-user permission to producer object and local content.
