Connectivity: Installation Guide

1 Preparation

1.1 Purpose

This installation guide provides the information you need to set up the connectivity for the SAP BestPractices for SAP Enterprise Portal system landscape, including connections to the backend SAPECC, SAP BW, and SAP CRM systems.

1.2 Prerequisites

SAP Enterprise Portal and backend systems must be installed and configured.

If you plan to launch the SAP ECC 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 allthe relevant system connectivity information such as System ID, Server, Port, and so on. Beforecreating 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 ECC, andcan 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 namedMy Folder according to building blockN04: General Settings.

Folder Name SAP R3 This entry is required.

Folder ID sap_r3 This entry is required.


15. Choose Finish.

16. Choose close wizard radio button.17. Choose OK.

18. To create folders for additional systems, followsteps 8 and 12 above, using folder namesand folder ID’s 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

UseIn this activity, you define SAP systems that will be connected to the Enterprise Portal and specifythe necessary attributes and web access details through the System Landscape Wizard. There aretwo types SAP backend systems. Depending on your system landscape, you will define only one of the following types:

• SAP_R3_Dedicated: This system has only one application server and the portal connectsto it directly. For more information, see 2.2.1 Connecting to an SAP ECC DedicatedSystem.

• SAP_R3_LoadBalancing: The message server is used in this case for load balancing andthe portal connects to the message sever. For more information, see 2.2.2Connecting toan SAP ECC Load Balancing System.
