Transport Portal Application

Question

Hi,
We have developed a demo portal application in EP6.0(Application includes Roles,Pages,Iviews etc.),and we want to transport that portal application  to our client.
Please provide the transporting process step by steps.
If we export that application to our client ,what if in the case of user mapping steps??
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,
Option 1:
  The portal application consists of min 2 parts when it comes to ivews.
1. PCD Content (like iviews/pages/etc..) should be transported as Transport Packages (.epa file) which can be created using System Administration -> Transport -> Export.
   Here you will have to create a new Transport Package and add the PCD Content and download the epa file.
   On the Client Portal you can import the epa file at System Administration -> Transport -> Import.
   Note: the import will override any content with the same PCD Path. i.e say i import the epa file twice the first content will be overridden by the second import.
2. The Par files on which the iView was built, will have to be moved to the onsite box and deployed in the portal.
Option 2:
We can create a single SDA file which consists of both the iviews and apar files. you can deploy the SDA file using SDM.
User Mapping and SLD setup for R/3 access will have to be done at the client machine again.
Hope that Helps.
