topics on EP and the sequence to be followed

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have explored a few topics on the development side of the portal and there are a few on my mind .What I wish to know is if I have to develop a team of delivery capability then in what sequence these topics are to be taken with the team . I am listing the topics below . Please guide as I have never been on a project on EP so I am not aware about the importance of these topics and the sequence to be followed while taking them up with a team .

Iviews : These include

Making iviews using standard templates available .

Making iviews using visual composer .

Making customised iviews using PDK(NDS and WAS) .

Webdynpro application

JSPDynpage

Business Packages

Integration of Third party applications

Configuring your mail server with the portal .Learning the configurational concepts of the exchange server .

BSP applications

HTMLB and tableviews

BISDK and XMLA

Using JCO and JCA

Knowledge/content management

Collaboration

TREX

If you have some other topics in mind please feel free to include here and also specify where do you wish to include them in the sequence . I need to know how do we go about this as it becomes quite confusing as to what to persue and with what importance as I have never faced a real time client requirements.

I AM LOOKING FOR AN EXPERT ADVICE HERE .

Hello!

Are you planning to put an EP team together for a client project or to build an EP competence group?

The list you put together is quite comprehensive but I don't think that there exists a roadmap of what items you listed should be tackled first. I always check the requirements first if I have to put a team for a client project together and most of the time I will have to cover portal roles (technical admin/configuration), content roles (KM), iView developers (in my case mostly JAVA) and backend resources (BASIS,ABAP). If you try to build a technical portal competence group/practice then I would get skilled JAVA resources and follow the SAP training guide to get cover the above mentioned roles. Understanding the R/3 backend is definitely a plus and knowing how BAPI's/RFC's work as well. Just my two cents;-)
