Connectivity: Installation Guide
1     Preparation
1.1     Purpose
This installation guide provides the information you need to set up the connectivity for the SAP Best Practices for SAP Enterprise Portal system landscape, including connections to the backend SAP R/3, SAP BW, and SAP CRM systems. 
1.2     Prerequisites
SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and backend systems must be installed and configured.
If you plan to use the WebGUI, ESS or MSS, you must install ITS in your SAP R/3 landscape.
If you plan to launch the SAP R/3 Windows GUI from the Enterprise Portal, the latest release of SAP WinGUI (6.2 patch 37 or above) must be installed on each client machine.
2     Installation
2.1     Preliminary steps
Use
For each system you connect the portal to, you must create an entry for the system which stores all the relevant system connectivity information such as System ID, Server, Port, etc.  Before creating portal entries for all your target systems, you should first create a folder to store these in so that you can find them easily later.
This task creates the folder structure on the Portal to store the system settings for SAP R/3, and can be used to create additional folders for SAP BW and mySAP CRM..
Prerequisites
Log on to the Portal as the Administrator.
Procedure
You must first create the portal content folder, Systems, to store the systems.
1.     Navigate to the Portal Content Directory
SAP Enterprise Portal     Content Administration  Portal Content
2.     Create a folder named My Folder according to building block N04: General Settings.
3.     Right-click the Portal Content folder and choose New Folder.
4.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     My Folder     This entry is required.
Folder ID     myfolder     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
5.     Right-click on the folder My Folder, then choose New  Folder.
6.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     Systems     This entry is required.
Folder ID     systems     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
7.     Right-click on the folder Systems, then choose New  Folder
8.     Create the folder with the following settings.
Field name     User action and values     Remarks
Folder Name     SAP R3     This entry is required.
Folder ID     sap_r3     This entry is required.
Master Language     Your language (e.g., English)     This entry is required.
9.     Choose Save.
10.     To create folders for additional systems, follow steps 8 and 9 above, using folder names and folder IDu2019s that are appropriate, such as SAP CRM, sap_crm and SAP BW, sap_bw.
Result
You have created folders to store the portal System object.
2.2      SAP Systems
Use
In this activity, you define SAP systems that will be connected to the Enterprise Portal and specify the necessary attributes and web access details through the System Landscape Wizard. There are two types SAP backend systems. Depending on your system landscape, you will define only one of the following types:
u2022     SAP_R/3_Dedicated: This system has only one application server and the portal connects to it directly. For more information, see Connecting to an SAP R/3 Dedicated System.
u2022     SAP_R/3_LoadBalancing: The message server is used in this case for load balancing and the portal connects to the message sever. For more information, see Connecting to an SAP R/3 Load Balancing System.
