Regarding iViews

Hi,
I have the following doubts to be cleared.It would be of great help if someone knows abt these and revert back ASAP.
1) How many iViews currently exist? Is there a directory of available iViews?
2) Is SAP planning to provide today's iView functionality as JSR-168/WSRP portlets together with the new release (or later)?
3) Would it make sense to create JSR-168/WSRP portlets by reusing existing iViews? I.e. is the iView Java code customizable? Would that be a feasible approach in order to provide iView-like functionality through JSR-168 or WSRP portlets?
4)Any other alternatives to expose iView-like functionality through a non-SAP portal? If so, what would that look like?
Providing links to support the answers will be of great help as this is being considered for a brainstorming.
Regards.....

Thanks a lot Detlev,
But I have a few doubts.
On my Question 1
================
Since I am quite new to this technology,can you tell me where is this 'Content Development->Portal Development' part?
Is it in this site itself of a part of market place?
On my Question 2
================
I found a ppt from the net which said the following
Support of JSR 168 (planned for NW 05)
SAP Enterprise Portal will support JSR 168:
SAP Enterprise Portal will support JSR 168 container
SAP Enterprise Portal will allow the integration of content packages with JSR 168 compliant content coming from 3rd party vendors
JSR 168 portlets will be normal objects in the portal content catalogue and thereby will be accessible through SAP Enterprise Portal administration tool (e.g. Portal Content Studio)
Some restrictions will apply (e.g. server side eventing will not be supported for JSR 168 portlets in SAP Enterprise Portal)
SAP Development Environment will allow the import of JSR 168 compliant content
Benefits of JSR 168 support:
Reduces customers costs for training of developers / no vendor-specific training necessary
Facilitates development of portal content
Develop once, run anywhere!
Support of WSRP (planned for NW 05)
SAP Enterprise Portal will support WSRP:
SAP Enterprise Portal will support WSRP consumer and producer
SAP Enterprise Portal will allow easy integration of WSRP compliant content (consumer)
SAP Enterprise Portal will allow to expose iViews compliant to WSRP (producer)
Some restrictions will apply (e.g. whole Business Packages will not be exposable)
Benefits of WSRP support:
Facilitates implementation of global scenarios:
Doesn't the above statements mean that SAP portal's iViews will support JSR-168 and WSRP in the next release of Netweaver??
On my Question 3
================
What I meant to ask was that,if I need to use existing iViews as it is,with the JSR-168 and WSRP support,what all changes should I be doing? Or it really feasible??
Thanks and Regards........

I hope you have registered your system in the similar way as mentioned below:-
1.     Register the system through Enterprise Portal.
2.     For this Go to System Config>> Portal Content Tree>>
3.     On "YourSystem" just right click and open the object
a.     Now you can see the properties of this system.
b.     This is just a dummy system.
4.     "YourSystem" System properties>>Display drop down>>System aliases
5.     Click on the "System" menu item on the left
6.     If its an external system then Expand the Connector Type>> System Alias>> Cache Admin (bottom of the screen)
8.     Clear Cache>>ALL SYSTEMS
So now we have configured your system.

Regarding iViews generated in VC available in portal

Hi
I am working on genertaing an iview in theportal using VC. I want to remove the empty space available in the iview which is utilized by the various controls like chart view ,table view etc in the iview.Initially the space should be compressed and depending on the form the result should be generated.
Thanks in advance

U r getting these error for only this role or for all roles u r getting same error

System Administration>Support>POrtal Runtime
There you can see the logs using log viewer tool.

Regarding iViews closing

Hi Experts,
I would like to get some clarifications.
We have a dashboard with 5-7 iviews. Result set is one of that. We tried avoiding the inital load to the result set since we have around 200000 records. we failed in getting that. Now the clerification points are
1. Is there a way to avoid initial loading
2. If we are making on the iview collpased in property for resultset, would this avoid loading at start up? or still the data is loading and then its collapsed? i.e. same transaction time, same memory will be used?
Kindly hele me understanding or refer some materials.
thanks,
SK

Hi SK,
If I'm following your description correctly, you offer 5 iViews anchored to single page/role and all iViews are loaded simultaneously at runtime. This simultaneous loading is what you're trying to avoid and you'd rather the iViews (data) remained collapsed until a user clicks them. Correct?
If so, this fix may be more simple than you think. If you just "push" your iViews to the detailed navigation area of the role, you'll achieve what you want. You can do this many ways but the easiest would be to make sure your role is an entry point, this ensures it appears in TLN. Then add a folder at the root level of the role and give it some name since this name will be seen in 2nd level navigation. Place your iviews in that folder, this ensures they appear in DTN.
In this scenario, the first iView in the list will be shown when the role is called at runtime. However, if you want them all to remain "inactive" until clicked, you could always add a "Workset Map iView" as the first entry in the folder, before your iViews. This way, when the role is called at runtime, the folder name appears in 2nd level and the workset map iView is called whichi will simply display a list of the 5 iViews in the portal content area with a generic icon (which is customizable). When a user clicks one of those, the report runs, but not until.
Is that what you meant? If not, let me know.

Regarding static iview

hi all,
I need some clarifications regarding iviews. As per my understanding, whenever we navigate to different iviews/applications in portal, the whole is refreshed. So, if I place an application in portal through iview in the default framework page, while we navigate, the application would be initialized everytime. To be more specific, if I have a webdynpro iview, its wdDoinit() would be called on each navigation.
so, is there any way out where the application is initialized just once?
Any inputs or comments are most welcome.
Thanks

Hi,
The way an iView will be refreshed is determined by:
1. It's isolation method propery. Read <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/97/0be13dc2fd605ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm">here</a> about Isolation Method of iViews.
2. It's caching properties. Read <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5f/2720a513ea4ce9a5a4e5d285a1c09c/frameset.htm">here</a> about Caching.

VC7.0 iView URL

Hi VC Experts out there,
i have a question regarding iViews' url.
what i did now is
1. design a model in the browser based VC
2. deploy the model
3. and run it from the link given under the deploy task panel
OR
1. go to the Enterprise Portal
2. look for my iView under Portal Contents
3. right click on it > Preview
both ways run the iView with a very long url like this
http://<myHost>:<myPort>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.sap.gm.cnt%2Fcore%2FVCRole%2FPreviewWorkArea&object=pcd%3Aportal_content%2Fcom.sap.gm.cnt%2Fvcmodels%2Fcom.myComp.myProduct.10W.PlantManagement%2Fcom.myComp.myProduct.iviews%2Fcom.myComp.myProduct.200.Order_8
is there anything to do with the url, making it shorter??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

B. it takes longer hours to update the LDAP server
C. it requires additional configuration steps to enable CHAP
D. SAP does not support Single Sign-On with user ID and password
Question 1 Explanation:
For SAP Enterprise Portal, the load-balancing solution should ensure session persistence,
or stickiness. This means that all requests of a specific user in a single session are
forwarded to the same server. Stickiness is achieved at initial logon, by linking to the IP
address and local port of the load-balancing system. If one node fails, the other servers
assume the tasks of the failed node without any pause in operation or loss of information.
Question 2 Explanation:
Portal Content Directory (PCD) is a file system which stores roles and role components,
and page-to-role relationships. It also stores deployable (PAR) and master iViews
(written in Java) with their personalization data and derivations (Java iViews, External
Services). The PCD stores a copy of the page catalog.
Question 3 Explanation:
The portal server needs read/write access to its PCD file system.
Question 4 Explanation:
Roles are maintained with the Role Editor in both SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0 and 6.0. The
Role Editor is a Web-based tool for creating roles and hierarchies and for assigning
content objects to roles. In EP 5.0, the Role Editor is a central tool which can be used to
create and edit External Services, master iViews and worksets as well as roles. Other
editors are available for the administration of pages and iViews. In EP 6.0, the Role
Editor is embedded in the central administration environment for the development and
administration of content: the Portal Content Studio. This administration environment can
be used to call all editors for the creation and administration of content, including the
Role Editor. Only roles can be created and edited in the Role Editor.

Question 5 Explanation:
Authentication provides a way of verifying the users identity before he or she is granted
access to the portal. Once the user has been authenticated, he or she is issued a SAP
logon ticket that allows him or her to access all the applications, information and services
in the Enterprise Portal using Single Sign-On. Since many of these applications may
contain sensitive data, it is imperative that the user in question can be identified and this
identity authenticated.
The process of authentication is based on each user having a unique set of credentials for
gaining access. For example, with user ID and password authentication, the
authentication server compares a users authentication credentials with other user
credentials stored in a data repository. If the credentials match, the user is granted access
to the Enterprise Portal. Otherwise, the authentication fails and portal access is denied.
The Enterprise Portal 5.0 offers the following integrated authentication mechanisms:
Authentication with User ID and Password
Authentication with X.509 digital certificates
Authentication using external mechanisms
¡ Windows 2000 authentication
¡ Authentication Against User Data in SAP R/3 System
¡ External Web access management tools, such as Netegrity SiteMinder
¡ COM interface allowing you to use any kind of external authentication service
Note that you must use one method of authentication for all users. The only exception is
authentication with digital certificates. Digital certificates can be used as an additional
method of authentication. This means that users that have a client certificate use it to log
on while other users have to provide credentials using a different authentication
mechanism.
Question 6 Explanation:
The recommendation is that do not place more than fifty (50) objects in a single folder.
Question 7 Explanation:
The Enterprise Portal Plug-In (WP-PI) enables the exchange of data between SAP
Enterprise Portal and the mySAP.com components, for example SAP R/3 and SAP BW.
It is a prerequisite to enable Drag&Relate and Single Sign-
Question 8 Explanation:
The Page Builder assembles the pages that are displayed in the Enterprise Portal. It gets
information about the navigation between pages and the layout of the pages from the
roles assigned to a user. Information about which roles are assigned to which users is
stored in the portal LDAP directory.
Question 9 Explanation:
The operating system collector SAPOsCol is a stand-alone program that runs in the
operating system background. It runs independently of SAP instances exactly once per
monitored host. SAPOsCol collects data about operating system resources, including:
Usage of virtual and physical memory
SAP Enterprise Portal Fundamentals Certification questions
By Aravinda
[email protected]
CPU utilization
Utilization of physical disks and file systems
Resource usage of running processes
Process monitoring
Question 10 Explanation:
User access to content is determined by Role definitions. A portal role is a collection of
content. While portal content is developed to enable access to information relevant to the
organization in which the portal is deployed, roles define the subset of content available
to each functional role within the organization. Users are assigned to the role or roles that
provide content relevant to them. A user has access to the content that has been assigned
to all of his or her roles.
Question 11 Explanation:
J2EE Engine cluster is a set of independent nodes that are addressed and managed as a
single system. The cluster consists of two types of nodes: dispatchers and servers. The
administrator of the system determines the number of dispatchers and servers in a cluster.
Each dispatcher node is connected to all server nodes in the cluster and each server node
maintains connections to all other cluster nodes. Clustering enables dynamic load
balancing by distributing client requests among the server nodes in the cluster, thereby
providing higher scalability and improved system performance
Question 12 Explanation:
Users and passwords are defined in the directory server. To enable those users and
passwords for portal logon, you must define a security configuration, using the portal
tools. However, in order to do so, you need to log on to the portal. The first time you log
on to the portal, you log on as a default, predefined user, called admin, using the default
password, admin. After you have defined a security configuration, you may continue to
log on as user admin, or you may log on with the user information defined in the
directory server.
The admin/admin logon provides you with access to the portal as a fully qualified superadministrator.
Note that administrator access is enabled via Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers only.
There is no administrator access via Netscape browsers.
Question 13 Explanation:
Load balancing is dividing the work of one computer among several computers so that
more work gets done in the same amount of time and all users get served faster. You can
implement a hardware or a software load balancing solution.
Question 14 Explanation:
The role definition determines the navigation structure within the portal. The navigation
structure consists of the top-level navigation bar, and the detailed navigation tree. The
top-level navigation bar is a series of tabs in the title area of the portal header. A user
navigates portal pages and services by clicking tabs in the top-level navigation bar.

Question 15 Explanation:
When the user performs a Drag&Relate action in the front end, the client sends a HRNP
(hyperrelational navigation protocol) request to the Unification Server through HTTP.
The Unification Server resolves the relationship between the drag source and the drop
target, and queries the database and/or applications to determine the record set. Then it
redirects the result set to the Portal Server and launches the screen which appears in the
browser.
Question 16 Explanation:
If you are using basic authentication, we strongly recommended that you set up the
browser and portal Web server to communicate using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Otherwise users credentials will be transmitted in clear text.
Question 17 Explanation:
The SAP System has Release 4.0B or higher. SAP logon tickets are not supported in
releases lower than 4.0B.
Question 18 Explanation:
Reverse Proxy Filter enables the portal to do the following:
Check all HTTP requests coming to the portal platform.
Distinguish between the following HTTP requests to the portal: those coming from
external sources, such as the Internet and outside the firewall of an enterprise, and those
coming from internal sources, such as the intranet within the firewall.
Replace the scheme, host, and port number in an HTTP request.
Respond to more than one domain name using different proxy servers.
Question 19 Explanation:
An iView is handled differently by Enterprise Portal depending on whether it is invoked
from an Internet Explorer or Netscape browser. In Internet Explorer, each iView in a
portal page is contained in an iFrame. Each iFrame is a distinct container, independent of
the other containers. In Netscape, each iView is contained in an HTML table. When
multiple iViews are displayed in a portal page in Netscape, you are actually viewing a
single HTML page formatted into HTML tables.
Question 20 Explanation:
Content Admin tab provides the tools for creating portal-related content, such as roles,
iViews, pages, Web components.
Question 21 Explanation:
Portal applications are configured according to the logger.xml configuration file. Various
portal applications place information into different log files. SAP recommend that you set
log levels in production environments to WARNING or ERROR.
Question 22 Explanation:
SAP JCo is a middleware component that enables the development of SAP-compatible
components and applications in Java. SAP JCo supports communication with the SAP
SAP Enterprise Portal Fundamentals Certification questions
By Aravinda
[email protected]
server in both directions: inbound calls (Java calls ABAP) and outbound calls (ABAP
calls Java). So, SAP JCo realizes communication between the ABAP and the J2EE
environments that can be used in SAP Web AS.
Question 23 Explanation:
You use the cryptographic tool SAPGENPSE to generate a keystore in which you can
store a certificate. You only need this keystore for storing the root certificate of the portal
Web server. It is therefore not necessary that you send the generated certificate request to
your CA.
Question 24 Explanation:
The entire portal administration is performed using administration roles contained in the
standard content of the portal. The administration roles contain all the functions possible
for portal administration.
The standard delivery of SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 contains four administration roles, all
of which subdivide the existing administration tasks into the following four groups:
Super Administration (containing all administration tasks)
Content Administration
System Administration
User Administration
Question 25 Explanation:
You implement the Knowledge Management (KM) platform of the Enterprise Portal to
enable unstructured content management, and sophisticated search and retrieval
functionality over unstructured content in disparate information repositories. The
knowledge management platform also provides collaboration functionality, such as
sending messages, annotating documents, and setting up discussion groups.

Question 27 Explanation:
The Enterprise Portal iView interface enables you to create and manage portal channels
and iViews. When you open the interface, a list of iViews and channels is displayed,
along with a set of tools that let you create and maintain channels and iViews. In this
section, we describe the main functions of this interface.
iView Editor screen: (1) Search Tool, (2) Toolbar, (3) Channel List, (4) iView List
Question 28 Explanation:
The user management component of the Enterprise Portal is an extensive application
programming interface (API) that allows iViews to read data from the corporate LDAP
directory and to read and write data to the portal LDAP directory. It also provides Single
Sign-On functions and Authentication of portal users against user repository.
Question 29 Explanation:
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a key feature of the Enterprise Portal that eases user interaction
with the many component systems available to the user in a portal environment. Once the
user is authenticated to the enterprise portal, he or she can use the portal to access
external applications. With SSO in the Enterprise Portal, the user can access different
systems and applications without having to repeatedly enter his or her user information
for authentication.
The Enterprise Portal SSO mechanism is available in two variants depending on security
requirements and the supported external applications:
SSO with SAP logon tickets
SSO with user ID and password
Both variants eliminate the need for repeated logons to individual applications after the
initial authentication at the enterprise portal. Whereas SSO with SAP logon tickets is
based on a secure ticketing mechanism, SSO with user ID and password forwards the
users logon data (user ID and password) to the systems that a user wants to call.
Question 30 Explanation:
Channels, used to organize iViews into logical groups, are also assigned to roles. While every iView
must be assigned to a channel, not every iView is associated with a page. A user has access to the
iViews displayed on the pages in his or her portal. When personalizing portal pages, the user will also
have access to the iViews in the channels assigned to his or her roles.
Question 31 Explanation:
There is a permissions concept for portal objects in SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0. It is valid for all objects
of the Portal Content Directory that can be maintained with a special editor (Permission Editor) in the
portal. Portal permissions mainly define the access rights of portal administrators to portal objects in
the Portal Catalog. The access permissions are implemented with the Access Control List (ACL)
method.

Question 32 Explanation:
In a load balanced landscape with multiple portal server installations the lock server is the portal
component that enables the components of the middleware layer to work concurrently with the
persistence layer, notably with the Portal Content Directory (PCD) and the database server.
The middleware layer is installed as clients that access the persistence layer and the shared resources.
Each middleware client must not interfere with other clients accessing and modifying the same
resources, therefore there is the need to implement a concurrent control mechanism.
The control mechanism is a synchronization process over TCP/IP at port 3299. Through the port, the
lock server identifies the specific process request coming from each middleware client. It then allows
access to the shared resources and the persistence layer. By so doing, each portal works with a
consistent view of the shared resources. Portals communicating with the lock server become the lock
clients.
Question 33 Explanation:
Web Dynpro is a browser-based, device-independent technology which provides a runtime and a
development environment for professional business Web applications. Web Dynpro delivers a
declarative meta-model to minimize the need to write programming code. From this abstract definition,
Web Dynpro generates code to create a ready-to-run Web application.
Question 34 Explanation:
The Enterprise Portal includes two user management master iViews that you can modify to suit your
companys requirements and integrate in the portal. These are:
Self registration master iView: Allows users, for example, external users that do not exist in the
corporate LDAP directory, to register themselves as portal users.
Change password master iView: Allows users to change their password and optionally other user
data.
Question 35 Explanation:
For the portal cluster:
To guarantee proper portal functionality, external load-balancing solutions must always
implement stickiness, using either a source-IP or cookie-based distribution policy.
All machines in a portal cluster are covered by a license installed on any of them. However, for
high availability purposes, you should install a license on at least two portal machines,
although a license on each machine is recommended. In this case, if the machine with the
single license is stopped for more than an hour (the period of time during which the license is
cached), portal operation will not be interrupted.
Question 36 Explanation:
My Pages tab contains the default Welcome page plus the pages assigned to all of the roles to which
the logged on user is assigned. My Pages display iViews, small applications designed to retrieve
information from various information resources.
Question 37 Explanation:
SAP Enterprise Portal Fundamentals Certification questions
By Aravinda

If you have a mixed system landscape including both SAP and non-SAP systems, we recommend
that you use a corporate LDAP directory as a primary store for central user data. Also use this
option if you have a large number of users in your system landscape.
In the above figure, a system running CUA is used to administer user data from several SAP
ABAP systems centrally. The user data from the CUA is synchronized with a corporate LDAP
directory. The UMEs of any standalone J2EE Engines are configured to use the corporate LDAP
directory as data source. Third-party systems can also access user data on the LDAP directory.
Question 38 Explanation:
The Unification Server enables your Portal for Drag&Relate (hyperrelational navigation). This means
that you can relate business data across applications and/or databases for which you have installed a
unifier on your Unification Server. Moreover the Unification Server provides functions to display data
from the installed database unifiers.
Question 39 Explanation:
To enable high load and avoid errors when running SAP Enterprise Portal with an Oracle database,
increase the maximum number of processes and sessions in the database.
SAP Enterprise Portal Fundamentals Certification questions
By Aravinda
[email protected]
Make sure no one is currently using the database, as you must restart the database server.
To change the number of processes on an Oracle database server:
1. From the Oracle program group in the Windows Start menu, go to Database Administration >DBA
Studio, and log on to your Oracle database using DBA Studio as user SYSDBA.
2. Open the Database branch and choose: Instances > Database.
3. Choose All Initialization Parameters.
4. Scroll down the list of parameters to the processes property and increase its value (e.g. 150).
5. Verify the increase with your DBA.
6. Scroll down to the sessions property and increase its value to 1.2 multiplied by the number of
processes.
7. Choose OK and then Apply. You are prompted to restart the database server.
8. Restart the IIS and the Oracle server.
Question 40 Explanation:
When Single Sign-On with user ID and password is used, the user ID and password are transmitted in
plain text using HTTP POST. We strongly recommend that you protect the connections to the SAP
System using HTTPS or SNC to prevent the user ID and password being eavesdropped by an external
party.
I hope it will help you.

Room Content Maintenance

Hi All,
I've managed to create some custom collaboration rooms using my own template, workset, content (including initial CM content). All works fine but I ran into a problem when modifying a rooms content. The problem arises when you like to change the content of the template associate to a particular room. For example, after creation of the room, you would like to change an iView parameter or add a different iView to a page instead.
Changing content (TemplateContent/TemplateSpecific) is the easy part but the actual room is apparently not affected by these changes (even though delta links are used throughout the process). To my knowledge there is no way to make these changes available to already exciting rooms other then to delete and recreate the affected rooms. Of course, this is not something you'd like to do on a productive system (nor on a development system for that matter). If this is truly the one and only way, I find I it a major design flaw with could limit the use of collaboration rooms in a real life portal environments (you really think the content of a room will never ever change again? ;). Please let me know if you know a way to circumvent this issue.
Portal version: 6.4.0.0.200409141512 and Knowledge Management & Collaboration: 6.0.7.2.0 (NW04 SPS05 Patch 2).200408011027.
Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
Frodo

Hi Frodo,
to my opinion it is not necessary to recreate a Room that often or at all.
If you want to add a new iView or functionality to Room, this can be done via RoomParts.
If you want to update a used iView with a newer version, you can simply upload this iView with the newer version, as long as it is the same java class or code link.
It's not possible to change the pages (layout, adding and removing iViews) of existing rooms or roomparts. Here changes of the templates affect only new rooms and RoomParts. This is also what we intended, since changing an existing room is a difficult task especially regarding iViews with connections to a backend like CM. If somebody removes such an iView from a template and this would affect an existing Room, this would mean, that a Room could loose its content eventually. This is not desirable at all.
Normally in a customer environment a template is tested on a test system in advance. Here you have many iterations with modifying a template and than creating a room or room template.
In a productive environment we suppose, that a template is stable, that changes don't appear very often or at all.
For additional functionality or new iViews to be integrated we provide therefore the RoomParts, where we also suppose, that new RoomParts are tested in a test environment in advance.

Issue regarding Cognos 82 Business Package iviews on SAP NW 7.0 Portal

Hello,
We have recently deployed Cognos business package (com.cognos.cognos82.epa) in NW 7.0 and followed the documentation provided by Cognos (i.e. Installing and Configuring Cognos8 on a SAP Portal). When testing the Cognos iView, we are getting the following error message:
=======================================================
Unable to process the request.
CPS-CCM-1204 The method "initCookie" of the Markup interface failed.
A more detailed description of the error that occurred can be found in the log.
=======================================================
Has anyone run into this error before?
Another Question: Do we have to define a Cognos System in Portal Landscape? (This was not mentioned in the documentation!)
Any help on this would be very much appreciated and also I will provide points. Please help me on this
With Regards,
Sudheer

Hello Sudheer,
Get Cognos to provide you the documentation on "Enabling Single Signon with Cognos8..."
In addition to importing the Cognos business package, you need to setup a SSO between Cognos and Portal. so, your Cognos support should be able to provide you documentation on setting up SSO.
hope this helps.
regards,
Harman

Regarding Https Url Iview

We are using a https URL in URL iview and it is causing the issue. The issue is it is going out of the portal, thought it is opened in the same window.
The portal URL is not more seen and is overwritten by the URL iview URL, and also the portal top menu is not seen.
But the same thing is working fine with http URLs.I think the issue is with https.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

Hi,
did you have a look at the html-coding of the pages you are trying to call via URL-iView? Is there maybe something like 'target=top' or 'target=parent'? I think this might be a reason for the error you are describing
Kind regards
karin

Regarding webdynpro iviews transport

HI,
What are prerequisites for transporting the webdynpro iviews from one landscape tp another.
Thanks
sekhar.

Hi,
There is no special pre-requisite.You will have to take the ear file from the project. The iViews and roles of the application can be exported as epa. Deploy this ear in the other portal and import this epa in it. You are done. But make sure if there are any references like host name in the project which uses model from webservices, then you may have to change it if required and create a new ear. Use this ear for the new server.
