In my first SDN blog I wrote about using ABAP RFC function modules in SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer and how to solve issues. There was a comment in my first blog from Vitaly, who asked me “How to add a system in the portal system landscape for using ABAP RFCs resp. BAPI in Visual Composer as I have done in my blog”. There were also similar questions in the Visual Composer Forum. That’s why I decided to write this blog about creating portal systems.     h4. Table of Contents   h5. System requirements   h5.

Creating a portal system for BI Queries        System requirements    SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI SP08 or higher   SAP NetWeaver 2004s EP SP08 or higher   Internet Explorer 6 SP2 with flash plugin   MSXML Parser 4   Adobe SVG Viewer 3    h5. Creating Portal Systems   h5. Creating a Portal System for BAPI/RFC    First of all you have to decide which system you need. Do you need a “SAP system using dedicated application server“ or do you need a „SAP system with load balancing“? If you are not sure, which system do you need then ask your basis administrator. As a rough guide you can say that you use „SAP system with load balancing“ when you have more than one application servers. I think in most cases you have only one application server for your development so you usually use “SAP system using dedicated application server“. I explain the settings for both.  h5. Creating a SAP system with load balancing for BAPI/RFC     h5. Creating a SAP system using dedicated application server for BAPI/RFC     h5. Creating a portal system for BI Queries   Creating a portal system for BI Queries is similar as creating a system for BAPI/RFC. There is only one setting different in the connector settings. That means if you want to create a portal system for BI Queries you can copy an already existing system for BAPI/RFC and modify this setting. You have to right click on the BAPI/RFC System and choose copy. Then right click on the folder called system and choose paste. Then go to the connection settings and modify the system type to SAP_BW .  Figure 14: Modify System Type     Then save the modification and execute a connection test. If the connection test is successful you have access to your queries of the BW System.
