IRJ --> iView Runtime Java

The SAP NetWeaver Portal is a J2EE application that is designed to handle HTTP requests for portal components. A portal
component is a Java class written and packaged specifically to run in the portal. The portal application is deployed under the
URL /irj. Therefore, IRJ is the SAP Enterprise Portal running under SAP NetWeaver Java Application Server.

So if your protocol is http and host name is agvs64 and instance number is 00 then the portal URL
should be
http://agvs64:50000/irj/portal

This is assuming your server instance # is 00 - where the general format for WEB AS ports is:
5NN00 for http.

usr\sap\<instance name>\JC00\j2ee here 00 is the instance number.

Change default page as /irj/portal

Instead of http://hostname:port/index.html .

Answer:
I would suggest you to use any of the Reverse Proxy server to re-direct the request from index.html
to the Portal home page....
If you are not using RP server, change the HTTP provider Settings in Visual Admin (not preferred)...
Cluster- server- services- HTTP provider - enter /irj/portal in the start page
Then,
Cluster - Dispatcher - services- HTTP Provider - Select Port - change the port to 80 (if SSL, then
81/443 I think)
Re-start the server...

SAP Enterprise Portal

The portal is the Web front-end component for SAP NetWeaver -

Using SAP Enterprise Portal, organizations can give their employees,

customers, partners, and suppliers a single point of access to the
company applications, services, and information needed for
conducting daily work.

The portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise
applications, information repositories, databases and services, in and outside your organization.
You can access the portal from desktops and from mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets.

SAP Fiori is the leading user experience in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.5

Portal System Landscape:

Portal system landscape is nothing but a collection of SAP or NON-SAP systems (SAP R3/CRM/BW etc), to retrieve the
data from each system portal needs to create system object

System Object: System Object is a set of connection properties to represent an external or SAP systems (SAP R3,
/CRM/BW) used to retrieve data into portal iViews. We can create a System Object in any one of the three ways
The system object can be created from either of the following:

 Based on System Template (Template)

 Based on Portal Content (PAR)
 Coping Existing Systems (System)

SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) offers users role-specific, Web-based and secure access to all relevant
information, applications and services. Employees only need a desktop and a Web Browser, and
can begin work once they have been authenticated in the portal. SAP Enterprise Portal contains the
NetWeaver components Portal, Knowledge Management, and Collaboration. In addition, SAP
provides predefined content. At the moment the portfolio contains more than 100 business
packages, which are shipped in multiple languages.

SAP NetWeaver portal is one of the key components in NetWeaver

architecture and provides a single point of access to the organization’s
applications. Customers, partners, and the employees of the organization can
use Enterprise Portal as a single point of access to the organization’s services
and information needed for performing their day-to-day task.

SAP NetWeaver Portal allows the following types of authentication to the

users −

 Username and password

 SAP Logon Tickets

 X.509 certificate using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

 Client Certificate

 Assertion Ticket

Bi and Portal:
The integration of BI Content into the portal ideally takes place using BEx Web applications and
queries that run in the Web browser.
You can also integrate other BI components, such as the Data Warehousing Workbench or the BEx
tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the portal.
