What exactly is a business package?

[Former Member]

and how do I create one?

I have some content (a par file loaded into and iView and placed on a page) I need to put it in a Business Package in order for it to be certified.

All the help seems to be on using them rather than creating them

Hi Vin,

SAP defines: "Business packages are the delivery unit for portal content running on SAP Enterprise Portal. They contain pre-configured portal content structures that can easily be integrated into an existing portal infrastructure. These content structures should be developed according to the guidelines and requirements that are contained in this document. They specify how you should structure the content elements to maximize reusability of portal content and provide users with an intuitive user interface."

Hope it helps

Thanks for the answer but I had a copy of that document already but what it doesn't contain is any instruction on how to create the Package

I managed to find someone who knew

And in case anyone else reads this thread at some point it is simple

In the portal go to

System Administration -> Export

choose your content and right-click

create a transport package

Hello,

A transport package is not exactly the same thing as a business package. Not that it really matters... but the EP world is confusing enough as it is...

Cheers,
