Using the SAS BI Portlets from a Portal

Using SAS BI Portlets with the SAS Information Delivery Portal

During installation, SAS BI Portlets are installed, configured, and deployed to your Web application server. Users can access these portlets from within the SAS Information Delivery Portal. For instructions on how to add a portlet to a page in the SAS Information Delivery Portal, see the online Help for the portal.

Using SAS BI Portlets with the WebSphere Portal

If you selected the Typical or Custom installation paths in the SAS Deployment Wizard (for a WebSphere application server), you are given the choice to select the WebSphere Portal. Then, the Wizard prompts you to confirm or specify the host name, port number, and protocol used with the WebSphere Portal. After a SAS 9.3 installation on the WebSphere server, complete the additional configuration and deployment steps to enable the availability of SAS BI Portlets in the WebSphere Portal. See SAS BI Portlets for WebSphere 7.
Note: SAS BI Portlets use content viewers provided by the SAS Information Delivery Portal. Therefore, SAS Information Delivery Portal must be installed and configured to enable the use of SAS BI Portlets from the WebSphere portal.
The following figure shows the deployment of SAS BI Portlets in the WebSphere Portal.
