Initial setup of Personas 3 – 2 – ICF nodes

Personas 3 is a web application. ICF is a pre-requisite. As flavors are based on WebGui, this is also a pre-requisite. For anyone that thinks he can use Personas 3 but not permit usage of WebGui: that`s not how it works (but there is the option to run Personas from within SAPGui). As you will need web skills for Personas, your users will use a browser to connect to SAP, and your SAP system must be prepared for this. Also, consider looking at your web landscape for SAP: consider that your users will access Personas 3 through a reverse proxy like Web Dispatcher. Nevertheless, you will have to activate some ICF nodes to be able to use Personas 3.
