Description
The output describes the content sources and applications
and their technical integration into the portal.
Besides a short functional description of the respective
content source and basic attributes like implemented release level and
responsible persons, the output details the technical integration of the
content sources and applications into the portal. This could include:
·
level of technical integration (presentation layer
integration, application layer integration via API, unifier)
·
required
connectors
·
single sign on solution
The level of technical integration could be dependent on
customer expectations concerning look and feel and the technical capabilities
of the respective content source or application.
The integration concept should also descripe the required
preparations in the content source systems. This could include
·
installation
of plug in’s or notes
·
configuration
settings
·
release
uprading
·
implementing web enabling technologies
Process
The content sources and applications could be derived from the description of the actual processes and the planned portal content.
Additional
Information
This
document hast to be completed by the technical content source information of
the technical and integration design document.
Please
note, that the technical integration concept is strongly related with the to be
defined portal applications and that there is no clear sequence in defining
these outputs. The achievable integration level might limit the possible
features and capabilities of the portal applications. On the other hand,
specific portal applications might require specific technical integration
levels.
