Portal Server and the Java Composite Application Platform Suite
The Sun Portal Server is part of the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES).
Portal Server Features and Benefits
Identity-based content delivery : Based on a users identity, services such as access control, policy enforcement, and single sign-on support is delivered using the sun portal integrated Identity management capability thereby improving the personalized touch.
Wikis that are editable using the toolbar can be created from within a Portlet by the user. This is beneficial as it improves team productivity.
File Sharing is possible for multiple members within a group. This enhances sharing and participation among members of a group.
Community/group calendars can be created, updated and used to track status of on going projects. This contributes towards effective project management.
Community polls and surveys can be created by users to help collective decision making process.
Secure Remote access to community resources, for example, e-mail, calendars, address books, conference calling, files, and Portlets.
Convenient portal administration simplifies administration and helps administrators focus on delivery of business value of the enterprise.
Content Management System includes a full, unrestricted Fat-Wire license for creating, managing, and delivering content.
Inter portlet communication helps Portlets to share information with each other, allowing them a greater degree of flexibility.
Full-text search engine with federated search and taxonomy capabilities helps bring results from
Multiple search engines, as well as enterprise information repositories and databases.
Service oriented architecture (SOA) is provided by application design helps deliver relevant services based on identity.
The Sun Portal Server supports the following Java CAPS applications
Sun SeeBeyond eVision Studio
Sun SeeBeyond eBAM Studio
Sun SeeBeyond eView Studio
Sun Portal Server and SeeBeyond eVision Studio
The Sun SeeBeyond eVision Studio is a graphical environment that enables a designer to rapidly create interfaces for composite applications without using advanced programming abilities. The underlying code gets automatically generated when a drag and drop task has been performed. It also allows a convenient access to the data that flows through these systems. This data is then exposed via web based views which allow the user to perform any related task.
eVision provides two main tools: the Page Layout Designer and the Page Flow Designer. Both tools are integrated within Enterprise Designer. The Page Layout Designer is used to create web pages. This tool includes a design canvas, GUI object palettes, a properties window, and a toolbar. The Page Flow Designer is used to manage the web pages within a composite application. The web pages are combined with specialized elements to create a Page Flow.
eVision Studio can be used in a variety of ways as a front end to Java CAPS solutions. For example:
In conjunction with eInsight Business Process Manager, eVision Studio enables users to participate in business processes. The users perform workflow tasks with eVision Studio web pages that are tailored for specific organizational roles.
eVision Studio can provide the login pages in which users enter their user name and password, which are then authenticated.
Sun Portal Server and Sun SeeBeyond eBAM Studio
The Sun SeeBeyond eBAM Studio is used to create business activity monitoring applications by collection, aggregation, and presentation of business activity data according to specified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) through the components of JAVA CAPs. KPIs provide a context for business processes by turning raw data into useful information, allowing the business analyst to focus on monitoring and analyzing measurable operations and processes across the enterprise.
The components of an eBAM Studio application consist of:
Data definitions: Data definitions provide the raw ingredients used by all the other components in an eBAM Studio application.
Queries: Queries provide the recipes that combine and manipulate the data elements, and are based on SQL SELECT statements.
Charts: Charts are products that an eBAM Studio application produces. Each chart is based a particular query:
Alerts: Alerts are also products that an eBAM Studio application produces. Each alert is based a particular query:
Views that provide a high level information on the status of the business can be generated using the Sun SeeBeyond eBAM Studio.
Sun Portal Server and Sun SeeBeyond eView Studio
eView Studio is highly configurable, allowing you to define the data structure of the information to be indexed and to define the logic that determines how data is updated, standardized, weighted, and matched in the master index database. The master indexes created by eView Studio provide accurate identification of objects throughout your organization and cross-reference an object’s local identifiers using an enterprise-wide unique identification number (EUID) assigned by the master index.
All information is centralized in one shared index. Maintaining a centralized database for multiple systems enables the indexing application to integrate data throughout the enterprise while allowing local systems to continue operating independently.
eView Studio and the indexing applications it creates are tightly integrated with Java CAPS and run as components within the Java CAPS environment. You can create multiple indexing applications, each uniquely identifying different types of business objects. Some of the eView Studio and Java CAPS components that work together are
.
The eView Wizard, eView Studio editors, and Custom Plug-in module run as components within Enterprise Designer.
Scripts for creating and customizing the master index databases are stored in, and can be run from, Enterprise Designer.
eView Studio configuration files, connectivity components, and deployment profiles are stored in the Sun SeeBeyond Repository.
The eView Manager Service, which coordinates the activities of a deployed indexing application, can run within the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server.
Messages sent to the indexing applications can also be processed through eInsightfor enhanced business management functions.
Information in eView Studio databases can be accessed via Web pages created by eVision, as well as through the eView Studio database maintenance and monitoring system.
Web-based process monitoring is provided by the Enterprise Manager.
