Portal Runtime

PCD

Portal system

• Consists of:The underlying SAP NetWeaver® platform

i.e., SAP NetWeaver usage type AS Java and ICMThe Portal server runtimePortal components (e.g., the Portal Content Directory [PCD])

SAP NetWeaver (usage type AS Java) server

4

Portal Content

• All main Portal objects, including:RolesPagesWorksetsiViews

• … and not forgettingBrandingConnectionsUsers

5

Portal Roles and User Management

• Roles can contain other roles, worksets, and pages

SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA)

• SAP NetWeaver Administrator is the new central administration and monitoring tool for your SAP NetWeaver system landscape

• SAP NetWeaver Administrator is a Java application• It does not replace CCMS*, but rather complements it

* Displays CCMS RZ20 monitors

What to Use NWA For

• AdministrationManage select applicationsStart and stop selected deployed Java application

• MonitoringAvailability checkCentral reportsLogs and traces

16

Availability Check

• All systems that are monitored in the Central Monitoring System (CEN) can be observed by an availability check

• This check is realized by the agent CCMSPING, which calls the message servers of the monitored systems and sends availability data to the CEN every minute

17

Central Report

• RZ20 Web view

Software Deployment Manager (SDM)

• Used to manage and deploy Java software packages running on SAP NetWeaver systems*

SAP or third-party software components, SAP Business Suite business packages, patches, systems changes, etc.These packages are really “zip” files in the following formats:

.EAR, .RAR, .SDA, or .SCA files • Code can be deployed again if it fails to deploy, and it

can also be un-deployed• The SDM graphical interface can be accessed directly or

from a remote system

* SDM also deploys code from NWDI and NWDS

34

Software Deployment Manager (SDM) (cont.)

35

Java Support Package Manager (JSPM)

• Java Support Package Manager can do the following:Apply Support Package StacksApply Support PackagesApply Support Packages Patches

• JSPM is integrated with the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI)

JSPM detects SAP software components that have been modified and allows you to apply support packages to them

NWDI (Formerly the JDI)

• SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (JDI)Allows change management Version control and transport between systemsEP7 – tight integration with Portal objects (roles, pages, etc.)

• Used to prevent Java developers needing access to SDM user ID and password

40

NWDI vs. ABAP CMS

Source: SAP

41

NWDI Components

• The NWDI supports development with the following services:

Design Time Repository (DTR)Versioning source code management; distributed development of software in teams; transport and replication of sources

Component Build Service (CBS)Central build of the source files in the DTR based on the component model

Change Management Service (CMS)Central administration of the Java development landscape and the transports covering the entire software lifecycle

Features of User Management

• Web-based user administration• End-user self-registration

User can create an account in the Portal• Password management and policies

Configurable expiration datesInitial password and change at first logonLimit of failed logon attempts

• Flexible user persistence layer• Delegated administration

64

User Administration

• Administration GUI completely based on iViews• User Administration functions:

Create usersCopy usersModify usersSearch for usersAssign users and groups to rolesSet or auto-create passwordSet date and time for user account activationLock/unlock usersView user account historyApprove/deny self-registered usersAdapt attributes contained in self-registrationEmail notifications for specified events

65

User Self-Service

• User can change his or her profile• User can set a new password

During logon (for initial passwords, when expired)By changing user profile

• User can request new password (sent to user by email)• User self-registration

Old Way of Moving Portal Object Between Environments

• Create an epa-file on your development system• Download it to your local file system (or use a

shared drive)• Move this file to your quality system and import it to

the PCD• After testing, import the epa-file to the production

system

To track where the epa-file was imported and if the import was successful, you had to use an additional tool where you had to manually enter data

70

New Way: Enhanced CTS (Change and Transport System)

• Requirement:One dual stack system that is on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 12

This system is used for transporting The portal systems that are part of your transport route can useany release starting with NW04 SPS 9

71

Using CTS+

• Transport process flow

7 Key Points to Take Home

• SAP provides administration for implementation, configuration, and monitoring of your system

• Administration can often be done remotely • Change administration of Java components is possible

using the NWDI• Roles and user administration are related

security activities• Presentation interfaces are best built using the NWDS• NWDI should be on a standalone server • Developers need 2 GB of memory to run NWDS
