Document Purpose
This document describes the step by step approach for configuring a new Portal role with the same
look and feel as that of the Standard ESS and MSS roles. This would require configuration of
AreaGroup, Area, SubArea, Services and Resources from the backend R/3 side.
A link resource has to be created which will contain the overview page. This overview page is what
will be displayed when the role is clicked first. This will display the worksets/pages that are part of
this role. The Area Group Link Type should be Webdynpro Java application, as we will be creating
an Overview iView using a standard Webdynpro application.
Creation of Service
A Service needs to be created which tags the Sub Area with that of the Resource(iView) which is
going to be mapped to the hyper link. The text that is provided in the Service Description will be
displayed below the hyper link in the Area Overview page. We should provide the Link Resource for
this Service and the corresponding type of Service (ITS based, Webdynpro, PCD Page etc.)
Eg. For the above mentioned Resource, the PCD path should be taken as mentioned below.
