Q1. You can implement an SAP NetWeaver Portal in your landscape to achieve various business goals. Which of the 
following scenarios are supported by SAP Netweaver Portal?

(More than one option is correct)

a.        External facing Portal

b.        Federated Portal

c.        Inter Operability with third party Portals

d.        ICT  Portal

Answer:a, b, c

You can implement an SAP NetWeaver Portal in your landscape to achieve various business goals. Numerous factors 
mean that implementations vary from organization to organization.

Some of the key scenarios supported are:
Federated Portal Network (FPN)       
Lets your organization develop, configure, and operate a network of portals – SAP NetWeaver and WSRP-compliant 
portals from other vendors – that share content between them.
External-Facing Portal (EFP)      
Lets organizations use the SAP NetWeaver Portal to expose applications, services and information over the Internet to 
customers, partners and employees.

SAP NetWeaver portal provides tools and guidelines for implementing an external-facing portal for a variety of business 
scenarios for both anonymous and registered users.

Organizations can create public Web portals that perform well in low-bandwidth networks and offer a familiar Web 
experience for anonymous users, as well as create Web portals that provide business partners, employees, and other 
registered users with a Web portal that fully supports SAP application functionality (business applications, KM, etc.).
Interoperability between SAP and Third-Party Portals       
Lets organizations integrate SAP portal content with the content on their own company server, using a central 
authentication and authorization engine for web access with Single Sign-On (SSO) to the SAP systems.

Key capabilities of NW Portal:
•        Platform-independence: The portal runs on a wide range of operating systems, including Windows and UNIX.

•        Multi-language interface: The portal supports many languages to make a global deployment more efficient and 
usable.

•        High performance and availability: Clustering and caching mechanisms provide high performance and high 
availability.

•        Security: The portal allows businesses to expose their resources to partners, suppliers, and customers, while 
maintaining rigorous confidentiality for restricted business information. The security features of the portal include 
authentication, single sign-on, authorization, integrated user management, and secure communications.

•        Navigation: The portal offers a flexible and open navigation layout design that supports almost every usage 
scenario.

•        Federated portal network scenarios: The portal supports federated portal and content scenarios through the use 
of open standards, wide platform support, multi-language support, global deployment and scalability, and delegated 
administration.



Q2. Which of the following statements about Knowledge Management (KM) are true?
(More than one option is correct)

a. Knowledge Management is a part of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal.

b. The entire functional scope and configuration of the Knowledge Management capabilities are available in portal iViews.

c. You do not need TREX to run knowledge management.

Answer:a, b

With the Knowledge Management functional unit, SAP NetWeaver provides a central, role-specific point of entry to 
unstructured information from various data sources.

This unstructured information can exist in different formats such as text documents, presentations, or HTML files. 
Workers in an organization can access information from different source such as file servers, their intranet, or the World 
Wide Web. A generic framework integrates these data sources and provides access to the information contained in them 
through the portal.

Knowledge Management is a part of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal.

The entire functional scope and configuration of the Knowledge Management capabilities are available in portal iViews.
To run Knowledge Management, you also require the standalone engine Search and Classification (TREX).


Knowledge Management comprises the following functions:
Integrating Repositories    Unstructured information is stored in various types of repository such as file servers or 
document management systems.

You can use preconfigured repository managers to integrate repositories and make their content accessible through a 
central entry point in the portal.

Open programming interfaces (APIs) allow customers and partners to develop repository managers for other storage 
systems.

You can also store documents in one of KM's own repositories.
Navigating in Folders        Portal users can navigate in the folders of all integrated repositories and access the 
documents they contain.

Access to folders and documents is controlled using permissions.

The user interface for navigating in folders can be configured flexibly and modified to suit various roles. Portal users can 
personalize the presentation of the user interface. Open interfaces allow you to extend the user interface by integrating 
your own functions into the standard system.
Search        The search function finds documents in all integrated repositories. The system displays only documents for 
which the current user has read permission in the results list.

You can also include the content of Web sites in your indexes using Web crawlers. This information is then also available 
through the search function in your portal.
Taxonomies and classification        A taxonomy is a hierarchical structure of categories in which you classify 
documents according to content, organizational, or other criteria. Documents that are stored in different repositories can 
be included in the same category.

Taxonomies allow portal users to navigate in a uniform structure throughout an organization even if information is stored 
in heterogeneous storage locations.
Knowledge Management services        Knowledge Management services enable functions that you can use on the 
content of all connected repositories as long as technical conditions are met. These services include subscriptions, 
ratings, public reviews, feedback, and personal notes.
You can also import documents into KM repositories from external sources by using the content exchange service.
Document creation and publishing        Every portal user can create information in the portal, provided he or she has 
the necessary permissions.

You can upload documents that you created using a PC application directly to a KM folder. You can also use forms to 
create information directly in the Web browser.

The publishing process is supported by various functions such as the approval workflow.

You can assign metadata to documents and other objects to make the knowledge available in your company more 
usable.


Q3. With the collaboration capabilities, SAP NetWeaver allows communication and collaboration in the portal. This allows 
SAP NetWeaver to bring together members of project groups regardless of time and of their geographic location.
Which of the following functionalities are supported by ‘Collaboration’?

(More than one option is correct)

a.        Asynchronous Collaboration

b.        Groupware Integration

c.        Real time Collaboration

d.        Third party services like webex cannot be integrated

Answer:
a, b, c

The following explains the functions included in Collaboration:
Making Services Available        You can configure how the system makes services available for collaboration. You can 
make services available in the following applications:

•        In the Collaboration Launch Pad, which allows central access to contacts and services in the portal header
•        In the Member List of rooms
•        In the context menu for user names
•        In the User Details iView
Virtual Rooms        Based on predefined templates, you can create virtual rooms for collaboration within teams and 
project groups. A room allows the members access to shared data and services independent of their location.
Groupware Integration        For collaboration in the portal, you can integrate the e-mail and scheduling services 
(Microsoft Exchange) used in your company.
Asynchronous Collaboration        For asynchronous collaboration, the following functions are available:

•        Online discussions
•        Online management of tasks, sessions, and documents
•        Online entry of feedback, ratings, and comments
•        Information sharing in forums
•        Information sharing in wikis
Real-Time Collaboration (RTC)        For real-time collaboration, the following functions are available:

•        Interactive online access to applications (application sharing)
•        interactive online exchange of information (instant messaging)

The RTC capabilities in SAP NetWeaver are recommended for scenarios that include the occasional use of instant 
messaging, and application-sharing services by a specific group of company-internal portal users—more specifically, 
one-to-one application sharing sessions and chat sessions with up to eight users.
Integration of Third-Party Services        In addition to the services provided by SAP for real-time collaboration, you 
can also integrate third-party services, for example, 
WebEx, in the portal.

Q4. You would like to share content between SAP and non-SAP portal systems that are distributed across your 
landscape, thus providing a single portal access point per user to portal, with one portal as logon portal for all users.
Which of the following can you use?

a.        Federated Portal with Content Federation
b.        Federated Portal with Portal federation


Answer:a

The federated portal network (FPN) capabilities of SAP NetWeaver enable you to share content between SAP and non-
SAP portal systems that are distributed across your landscape, thus providing a single portal access point per user to 
portal information, services, and applications distributed on portals throughout the entire organizational network.
There are two implementation scenarios:
•        Content federation: A network comprising two or more portal installations – one functions as the logon portal for 
all users and the remaining portal installations function as content providers. This allows you to separate application 
execution and rendering from the main portal server.
•        Portal federation: A network comprising two or more portal installations – each portal installation can function as 
an autonomous entity serving its own content and users, but also exposing and consuming content to and from other 
portals in the federation.

Portals can also rely completely on remote content from other portals, thus avoiding the need to create and maintain 
local content.

Before implementing a federated portal network, you should understand the business requirements and technical 
conditions of your landscape.

Each portal in the federation can be a producer, consumer, or both, depending on whether it exposes its content for 
other portals or uses remote content exposed by other portals.
•        Producer portal: A portal installation that provides other portals (consumers) with remote access to its locally-
deployed applications.
•        Consumer portal: A portal installation that accesses remote applications provided by another portal (a producer).
Each portal can support both local and remote users.

The following is a list of the portal features used to implement a federated portal network:
Single user persistence        All portals in the federation connect to a global user repository.
Assign users and groups to remote roles          User administrators on a consumer portal can search for and assign 
users to roles on a remote portal (producer).
•        The role is executed on the remote producer portal at runtime.
•        The remote roles are defined, configured, and maintained solely on a producer portal, thereby minimizing content 
maintenance by the consumer.
Create content as remote delta links         Content administrators on a consumer portal can browse the Portal 
Catalog of a producer portal, and then create remote delta links to iViews, pages, worksets, and roles residing on the 
producer portal.

Limitations of Federated PortalThe federated portal network tools are optimized for content sharing across multiple portals. The tools are not designed 
to provide support for remote site management, monitoring, or to solve lags in performance between portals.
Implementing a federated portal network also does not offer any manual or automated functionality to synchronize 
portals and their content.

Q5.   When you create new content objects in the PCD, there are two main procedures, out of which one is using Copies. 
How many methods are there to create copies and which are they?

a.        2 methods – (i) Creating an object based template, (ii) Pasting one object into another as a copy.

b.        2 methods – (i) New object by copying an existing object and pasting it elsewhere as a copy (ii) By pasting one 
content object into another object as a copy.

c.        1 method –  By pasting one content object into another object as a copy

d.        1 method -  Creating an object based template

e.        1 method - New object by copying an existing object and pasting it elsewhere as a copy
Answer:
b


A content object can also be a copy of another object. Unlike the delta link, the copied object is an independent object 
that is no longer reliant on or linked to the object from which it was copied.

The copied objects (the new object instance) and the object from which it was copied characteristic a sibling relationship 
and not a parent/child relationship, as is the case with delta links.

Note that a copied object is always a delta link.

The copy does not reference the object from which it was copied, but references the object that is one level higher in the 
object chain. When object X is created, it is an indistinguishable copy of object B (they are siblings).

However, when changes are made to object B, they are not updated in object X, and vice versa; they cease to be 
identical.

When the properties of object A are reorganized, both objects B and X inherit these changes concurrently.


There are 
two methods for creating copies.  Please note that not all methods are obtainable for all content object types.

•        In the Portal Catalog, you can create a new object by copying an existing object and pasting it elsewhere as a 
copy. This method is available for all content objects.

•        You can paste one content object into another object as a copy. This method is obtainable for adding:
– iViews, pages, work sets, and roles to roles
– iViews, pages, and work sets to work sets
– iViews and pages to pages


Q6.         Which are the backend systems from which the Web Dynpro Model Object can be supplied with information?
