MCMS and SAP iView |
|
|
Hi everyone,
Has anyone out there ever displayed MCMS content in an SAP Portal?
We are looking at creating an XML feed from our MCMS site to be consumed by
the SAP portal. The concept is simple, but we are looking at the multiple
ways of doing this. Options include:
1) Create an XML feed that can be consumed via HTTP/HTTPS, much like RSS.
2) Export an XML file that is copied via the local network to the SAP
portal.
3) Use some sort of SAP/MCMS connector (does it exist?).
We'd prefer #1 if possible, and it would be the quickest for us to implement
on the MCMS end. But we might have to do #2, and are curious if #3 is
possible or recommended.
Any advice?
TIA,
Joel |

Hello Joel,
we are currently working on a integration between our CMS and the SAP
Enterprise Portal 6. We are doing it in that way:
- We have a webservice running on CMS side that delivers the "live"
navigation entries for the logged on user to the Portal. This navigation is
rendered inside the portal and on click a second content iview requests the
URL for this navigation iView.
- In our CMS Templates we have a special component that recognizes that the
content request is coming from the Enterprise portal iView and delivers the
content based on special portal templates without navigation (because
navigation frame is already provided by the portal and we do not want to have
portal navigation and cms navigation). So we do the rendering of the content
by the CMS because we were afraid of the possible performance impact on the
Portal if the Portal has to render the content.
- For the authentication to the navigation webservice (so that the current
portal user gets the navigation entries / cms content he is allowed to see)
we use the SAP logon ticket and a special ISAPI filter on CMS side that does
the mapping between the logon ticket and the AD.
Cheers,
Dominik
