As a central point of access for users, SAP Build Work Zone integrates business content from various systems and gives users access to all their applications, tasks, and processes in one place. Depending on the solutions that are integrated, there are two ways for integrating business content: You can either create applications manually using the tools described in the administration section or consume large amounts of content in a more efficient way with content federation. To do so, content administrators on provider side (e.g. in the S/4HANA system) configure the applications and the content structure and then select the roles that should be exposed to SAP Build Work Zone. During the exposure, the exposure scope, consisting of all apps, groups, catalogs, spaces and pages related to the selected roles, is translated to the Common Data Model (CDM) format and made available for consumption. The SAP Build Work Zone administrator sets up connectivity with the provider system, selects the content from the exposed scope and manages role assignments to users and sites.
Content federation is currently supported for SAP S/4HANA cloud and on-premise systems, for SAP Business Suite systems, SAP Integrated Business Planning, SAP Enterprise Portal, HTML5 apps deployed in the same BTP subaccount, and the SAP BTP ABAP environment. In addition, you can find the current integration status for central services and for manual integration in the following picture.
Content federation enables administrators to easily integrate large amounts of business content that were configured on the provider system. Go back to main exercise document.
