FPN - Consumer & Producer favorites on the same window

Found this useful post on SCN Posted by Piyush kumar in SAP NetWeaver Portal: Administration and Development


 This custom application will give access to consumer as well as producer favorites (In FPN Scenario) on the same page in consumer Portal. So in this way we can avoid the two portal favorite windows on consumer portal.
In my case  Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI Portal is the Producer Portal. 

Note: I assume members who are following this blog, know the Par application development using Abstract Portal Component and reading KM documents from Par file .

Symptom /Problem Details:

When we use a Federated Portal Network where the Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI Portal is the Producer Portal.  Users access BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal (Consumer Portal) through RRA or RDL.
BI Report’s “Save As" functionality allows us to save a BI report as a   "KM Bookmark” which will be available in Portal Favorite list, But when we save BI reports as favorite it gets saved in Producer Portal  and we do not see the bookmarks in Consumer Portal Favorite list. So if we want to access the BI bookmarks then we need to have two Favorite windows in our Consumer Portal as shown in below picture.
