Prerequisites for Portal Development

Dear Community,
I am new in SAP, and it will be really nice to be a part of the Community Network.
I want to know what I am required to know before starting developing Portal in SAP.
And what are the tools and techs required?
Thanks in advance..

Dear Dayasankar,
there is also another alternative.
If you already have knowledge with ABAP, this might be an interesting and easier alternative.
I'm talking about
Webdynpro for ABAP (WD4A) or Businsess Servers Pages (BSP).
...and there is also ITS (Internet Transaction Server). But I would not consider it at all, because it is old and not supported anymore by SAP (I think).
These 2 alternatives might not be considered "pure" Portal developments because they run on the backend.
But if your idea is to develop something to run on the Portal as well, then the 2 alternatives above will  work perfectly.
So at the end, depends on what type of development you want to have on your Portal.
Do you need to extract data from the backend and develop some quick applications using transaction SE80 ?
Then please go for WD4A or BSPs.
If on the other hand you want to use the Portal APIs, develop for Portal KM (this is a tool exclusive on the Portal) or you want to integrate with other JAVA components ?
Then go for WD4J (Webdynpro for JAVA) or PAR develoment (Portal Archive componentes) - for all of these you will use JAVA and will need to develop your stuff with NWDS (Netweaver Developer Studio) as already mentioned.
Hope this helps you choose your way.
Kind Regards

  • Sytax highlighiting for Jsp Dyn Pages for portal development.

    Hey,
    I am doing JSP with the htmlb taglib for portals. When I edit a jsp page in the Developer Studio, I expect syntax highlighting. This is what I see in the documentation for jsp editing as well - you know where the keywords are highlighted.
    Sytax highlighiting for jsp in Developer Studio for portal development.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ce/e0a341354ca309e10000000a155106/content.htm
    OutputSuccess.jsp, OutputSuccessText.jsp are the two jsp's that are syntax highlighted on this page.
    In my Developer Studio this is not the case. Is a JSP editor and its highlighting not part of the Developer Studio. If it is, how do I get it to work.
    I also know that given the right taglib's, the editor also gives autocomplete for taglibs with its settings. I am hoping to speed up my development with this.
    Right now I am using a text editor for this. There are a couple of jsp plugin's such as Exadel or Lomboz which I can integrate if a jsp syntax editor is not there in the Developer Studio. I just wanted to know the right way to go about this.
    Thank you for your help.

    Never mind. I was in the preview mode.

    -- Prashant

    Our sales rep told us yesterday that Workshop for WLS9 will be available around the end of the year.
    Until then there is no upgrade path for current workshop apps either. That means that apps developed in Workshop 8.1 won't run in WLS9 apparently.

  • KT sessions for portal development

    Hi,
    What are KT sessions? Are they something like online learning courses? Where can I find KT sessions to learn about portal development?
    Thanks in advance

    Sailaja,
    KT sessions is a very generic term.
    KT sessions are generally referred to as a Knowledge Trasfer sessions.They might happen in a scenario were
    1. Somebody who has worked on the latest technologies, might want to enable the rest of the team to learn about it via a KT session.
    2. It might happen in an organization when you are leaving the current role or job so that the person replacing you has knowledge of what you have worked on and what is to be done.
    I guess you are looking at learning sessions rather than KT sessions.
    SAP has its own training sessions held.
    http://www.sap.com/services/education/index.epx
    Although I would suggest you to first have a look at this before you enroll for a course with SAP or a local instltute(in your city).

  • Tutorial for Java as a language for Portal development!

    Hi All,
    I am basically a Java, J2EE developer. Now my Employers want me to start working on SAP EP 6.0 SP9. The SAP world is completely new to me.
    So
    Plz, guide me and provide reference for some good Tutorials or books for Java coding in SAP EP.
    Thanx in advance.

    Hi Manish,
    start here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/4554426dd13555e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm and work through the material.
    The books offered by SAPPress for EP development are not recommandable.
    SP9 should be upgraded, it's really horrible old and buggy.
    Hope it helps

  • Problems signing up for portal developer community.

    When I try to "join" from the Portal page (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=3237&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO), I get an empty page with following error:
    Error 30573: You do not have permission for this operation.

    Hi Kilagannon,
    If you are having problems with the paying methods section of the iTunes account, you could try buying iTunes cards. By doing so, you will be able to make an account without having any credit card/PayPal paying methods.
    1. Buy an iTunes card.
    2. Go to iTunes main page and on the right of the page you will see under Quick Links an option called Redeem.
    3. Type in the code on the card and hit Redeem.
    4. iTunes will tell you to make an account, you will have to fill in your name, e-mail address/password, secret question, address... When you get to the Paying Method section, iTunes will have automatically added a new method, in the Credit Card box, which is "None".
    You won't have to worry about credit card issues and taxes or anything.
    This is not really an answer to your question, but a suggestion to your problem.

                        Thanking u,
    Regards,
    Sandhya Rani.Immadi

    Hi Sandhya,
    Welcome the EP community. Great to see that you are starting early (just after college). The links for portal development are as follows:
    1. To begin with EP there are vairous courses at the following link (from Beginner to Advanced)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/elearning?rid=/webcontent/uuid/4b0c105e-0501-0010-bcb0-92478a4b2a17
    2. Web Dynpro: Java based portal development is done using this tool(Infact it is picking up quite fast). The link contains tutorials for creating applicatios. Just the right thing for getting you started without boring you with too much theory:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/011be490-0201-0010-2f90-91e872e9490c
    3. For HTMLB (HTML for Business),  the language used for the portal development:
    http://www.sapdesignguild.org./resources/htmlb_guidance/getting_started.html
    The following links will get you started in Portal Development. Also I would advice that you have a good understanding on Java/J2EE. If you are new to it and want to get a quick & good understanding on Java/J2EE, I would suggest you go read Head First Series of Java books (Head First Java, Head First Servlet & JSP and Head First EJB).Really useful books, stresses only on the concepts and nothing more. 
    Also start visiting forums adn weblogs at SDN, there is a lot of stuff happening out here.
    Hope this will help you. Let me know if you have any more queries.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Requirments for portal creation

    hi experts,
    i am new  in portal development.i have requirment to create a portal and run the web dynpro abap component in portal..
    so please let me know what is basic requirments to create portal ..or the development kit that i can install and use for portal development?
    i got various document related to development kit but each has the use of java,.and as per my requirment i sud use abap or javascript

    Hi swati,
    What do you mean with "create a portal"? You have several options to develop applications for EP, like WebDynpros (ABAP or J2EE based), IACs (Internet Services defined on R/3), Composite Applications with Visual Composer and so on.
    What's your R/3 and EP versions? If you want to run R/3 transactions, you should use Internet Services through IAC iviews. If you develop webdynpro apps, you have to use webdynpro iviews to integrate them on portal.
    If you use WebDynpro ABAP, you can use SE80 on R/3 to develop. For WebDynpor Java, you may use SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio or Eclipse.
    If you define services oriented applications, you can use Visual Composer environment.
    Hope this helps,
    Iván.

  • JLin ruleset for Portal

    Hi,
    The Developer Manual on help.sap.com talks about a JLin ruleset for Portal development (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/78/023c41325fa831e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm), which should be available on SDN. I think it has been here indeed, but I cannot find it anymore...

  • Wikis - a good starting point for portal information...

    The recently announced Wiki functions of SDN will, over time, be a great source of information about portal development and implementation...
    The main wiki portal page is [https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP].
    Please read this first  before asking a question in the forum - believe me, there are not many new questions being asked!
    There is quite a bit of repetition in forum questions, and maybe if people are directed to the wiki page as a first step, it may make it easier to watch this forum.
    The Wiki concept is all about sharing within a community, so feel free to modify the content - more accurately 'our' content - and maybe start some other pages, such as one about modifying logon pages - a fairly consistent topic in this forum

    Hi Michael,
    I am new to Basis. I am getting difficulty to get answers for Bais problems from sap forum.
    If you can provide some useful links (like you provided for portal development ) , it will be helpful for me.
    Also suggests is there any special forum category or platform to post Basis related problems.
    Thank you.
