Many SAP customers have rich implementations of on-premise SAP Enterprise Portal that include many classic UIs such as Web Dynpro ABAP, SAP GUI, BSP, and other applications. As a System Administrator, you can configure the SAP Enterprise Portal as a remote content provider for the Launchpad service and 2 other services on SAP BTP. This enables you to expose your existing Enterprise Portal content (such as BEx, SAP GUI Applications, Web Dynpro ABAP, and Java) side by side with new content (such as SAP SuccessFactors and SAP S/4HANA) in one single entry point.
You can configure Enterprise Portal as a content provider for the following services on SAP BTP: SAP Work Zone, SAP Launchpad service and SAP Cloud Portal service.
The feature is available starting with SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal 7.50 SP19.
