URL iView in case intranet is plain and simple (no need for sophisticated parameters, user mapping, ticket support etc.).

Another way might be to download the web application connector and use that for including your intranet inside the portal.

I do appreciate Haydn's quick response. thanks maksim for that quick info. I do understand that URL iView can be used to integrate the intranet links. I am looking at a scenario where the URL iView may not work as it might involve some complicated parameters to be passed (for eg try connecting gmail to portal ...has to be done using appintegrator). The fact that he mentions appintegrator as a method to integrate the intranet links to the portal I will buy the fact that appintegrator is one of the methods. basically there are several Intranet links that needs the portal to provide links to this service.

Haydn - could you please give me more information on the web application connector you are talking about ...if you can give me some links where you can download I would really appreciate.

also if there is any other option other than these 2 please discuss with me as this thread could be a good info link for people trying to work with intranet and the SAP portal..

thanks..

Basically you create an appintegrator component based on the com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Generic component. But it order to use this component you need to specify a system to connect to (the intranet in your case).

The best way to do this is to download the com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp.WebApplication component. This will allow you to create a web application as a system destination (as opposed to an R/3 system or other type already supported). You can then connect your generic appintegrator components through your new system connector.

Off the top of my head, I cant remember where to download this from - let me have a "poke" about ...

I dont suppose functionality wise there is much difference between this approach and URL iviews.

try here for more information

it talks about SSO amongst other things - you probably dont need this per say for connecting to an intranet. If it "was" protected you could do SSO with user mappings for example - this would be tricky with a URL based iview.

The strange requirement here is that, they have about 15 intranet links and they want to administer all of them in the SAP Portal. ie sap portal should be used to change or add links without going into the application that is running that particular intranet. they plan to get rid of all those apps running the intranets and just have 1 sap portal to administer the intranet.

considering SAP has WPC which will be released only for the SP13 I dont think of any other option. I understand the SSO can be achieved with the 15 intranet links in the portal but if there is any other idea for this requirement please let me know....

Thanks...
