  The Portal Content Directory (PCD) is a component of the Enterprise Portal Infrastructure (EP-PIN) in SAP. It is a repository of all the content that is available in the portal, such as iViews, pages, roles, and worksets. It stores all the information related to the portal in a hierarchical structure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The PCD can be used to manage and organize the content in the portal. It allows users to create and manage roles, worksets, pages, and iViews. It also provides access control for users and groups. Additionally, it can be used to search for content in the portal. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating roles and worksets in the PCD, it is important to keep them organized and easy to find. This will make it easier for users to find the content they need. Additionally, it is important to keep track of changes made in the PCD so that any issues can be quickly identified and resolved.

The PRT is responsible for executing iViews and pages while the PSS provides access control for users and groups. Additionally, the PCD can be integrated with other systems such as SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI).
