Before you can use the SAP navigation, you need to perform
the configuration.
About this task
The SAP navigation integration uses a set of configuration
parameters, but you must configure these parameters separately:
Procedure
Configuring the SAP navigation page: By default,
the
WebSphere® Portal installation
names the SAP integration page
SAP and places
it as a subpage of
IBM® WebSphere Portal Integrator for SAP.
If
you want to change the title of the SAP navigation page or move the
page to another location in your WebSphere Portal, use the standard
tools of WebSphere Portal. For
example, you can use Manage Pages in the WebSphere Portal administration.
All
required page properties for configuring the SAP navigation page are
stored in the page properties of the SAP navigation page. For a list
of configuration parameters see the topic about Configuration
parameters for the SAP navigation integration. You must check
and verify these settings and change them as appropriate for your
environment, if required. To perform this task, proceed as follows:
- To open the Manage Pages portlet, click the
Administration menu icon. Then, click .
- Click .
- Click Edit page properties for
the page that is named SAP, or however you
might have renamed it.
- Select .
- Change the page properties as required. For
a list of configuration parameters, read the topic about Configuration
properties for the SAP navigation integration.
If
your values for the page properties remain within a length limit of
255 characters, you can set them directly in the page properties as
described here.
If the values for any of the properties
exceed 255 characters, you must set that property in the WP Configuration
Service, reference it in the page properties, and prefix its value
in the page properties with ConfigService: . For
example, the most likely parameter to have a value that exceeds 255
characters is sap.SSOTokenUrl . In this case you
configure the following settings:- In the WP Configuration Service: actual.SSO.tokenUrl =
"your_URL"
- In the page properties: sap.SSOTokenUrl = "ConfigService:actual.SSO.tokenUrl"
For details about how portal service configuration properties
and how to set them, read Configuration Service and Setting
service configuration properties.
For the parameter sap.SSOTokenUrl,
you can specify a page URL of the SAP portal of your choice, except
the sap.BaseUri.
- Restrict the access to the SAP navigation page to the
correct audience, for example to all or selected SAP users. To perform
this task, use the WebSphere Portal Access
Control.
- Optional: Like portal
pages, you can configure the navigational integration label to use
a theme template. Within the navigational integration, integrated SAP NetWeaver portal
pages inherit that configuration from the label. To perform this configuration,
add the page parameter com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.htm to
the label by using the XMLAccess configuration interface. After you
install Integrator for SAP,
all integration pages are already configured to use a side navigation
theme template. You can remove the side navigation by removing the
parameter for the side navigation theme template from the label.
What to do next
After you have completed the configuration, restart your WebSphere Portal server for your changes
to take effect.
