Why do it?
There are numerous specific reasons for adding a link to an SAP Screen Personas flavor. In general, though, it's done in order to streamline the user experience for your employees, customers, and partners who already access information, applications, and services in your organization via the SAP Cloud Platform Portal.
In fact, this is a common scenario for organizations who use the on-premise SAP NetWeaver Portal and who want to benefit from the simplification and other features that SAP Screen Personas brings to their screens (as one customer has done).
How to do it?
Obtain the URL to the flavor that will be added to the portal site.
Example:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/personas?sap-client=<client>&sap-language=EN&sap-sec_session_created...Launch the Portal service from the SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit.
- In the Services tab, scroll down to the bottom to the "Portal" tile.
