Remot e Del ta L ink s – Fact s (As o f SPS 10)

An SAP NetWeaver portal producer can offer content from itslocation to be cop ied to a rem ote consumer .

The consumer administrator can easi ly brow se t he PCD of

the producer and copy required content to its local PCD.

Copied content becomes local consumer content and can bereused, conf igured, and cust omized .

It allows del ta l ink synchron iza t ion of copied content. Any

change on the producer object properties, which were notupdated on the consumer, is synchronized and reflected during

runtime.

The is ideal for cases that require combination of local and

remote content within one role.

WSRP Cont ent Sharin g

WSRP allows sharing of portlets (iViews) between SAP andnon-SAP portals

Runtime execution of portlets remains on the WSRP producer

Consum ing WSRP Cont ent

Any WSRP producer can offer portlets to an SAP NetWeaver

consumer

The SAP consumer can integrate remote portlets into local

content as standard iViews

Produc ing WSRP Cont ent

Customers and partners are able to develop Java-based iViewsand make them available for WSRP consumption

The WSRP standard provides support for integration on a generic

portlet level only
