As a WSRP Producer, you can provide portlets through WSRP
to Consumers. Consumers can then integrate these portlets into their
portal remotely and use them.
Before you begin
To provide a portlet to Consumer portals, proceed as follows:
Procedure
- In the list of portlets, locate the portlet that you want
to provide.
- Click the Provide portlet icon in
the row for the portlet that you want to provide. A prompt
opens for you to confirm the Provide action.
- Click OK at the prompt to provide
the portlet, or click Cancel to quit. If you click OK, a check mark is shown
in the Provided column for the portlet, and
the Provide portlet icon for the portlet changes
to the Withdraw portlet icon.
Results
The portlet is provided through WSRP. It can now be consumed
as a remote portlet by Consumer portals.
Note: A Producer provides
portlets, not portlet instances. Therefore, only settings that are
made in the Configure mode of the portlet on the Producer portal are
available at the consumed remote portlet. Adding a remote portlet
to a page on the Consumer side might create a new instance of the
provided portlet on the Producer side. This portlet instance can be
modified only on the Consumer portal. It is not available for use
on the Producer portal.
