Integration

The Classic Framework Page supplied with SAP NetWeaver Portal is a single portal page containing default iViews and pages. These components are positioned in the framework page using default page layouts also supplied by SAP.

Pages and iViews in the Classic Framework Page

The Classic Framework Page is a portal page (com.sap.portal.frameworkpage) that contains the following iViews and pages:

  • Page: Headerless Framework Page (see Headerless Framework Pages).

  • Page Headerless Framework Page (Embedded) (see Headerless Framework Pages).

    Note Note

    In the page editor, the Visible checkbox for the headerless framework pages within the Classic Framework Page is disabled.

    End of the note.

  • iView: Masthead iView

    Note Note

    An administrator can show or hide the links in the Masthead iView at runtime by setting the Show Link in Masthead: <Link Name> properties in the iView using the Property Editor.

    If you have configured your portal to accept anonymous users, you can add the language personalization dropdown list to the masthead, by changing the property Show Dropdown List in Masthead: Language Personalization for Anonymous Users in the Masthead iView to Yes. At runtime, anonymous users can change the portal language. If the anonymous user logs in as an authenticated user, the dropdown list disappears from the masthead, and the portal appears in the language defined for that user.

    End of the note.
