Prerequisites

You have logged on to the SAP NetWeaver Portal with http://<host>:<port>/irj and remembered to replaced <host> and <port> with the machine name of the portal you are using. You have also navigated to System Administration ® System Configuration ®Knowledge Management ® Content Management ®Repository Managers.

List of invisible business objects	sap.com/caf.core/Document This means that these objects will not be available on KM, but in the document or CAF repository
URL of CAF Web service	http://<J2EE_machine_name>:<port>/CAFDataService/Config?style=rpc_enc This parameter should point to the CAF server with the same host, port and protocol settings as in the settings for the CAF repository manager.
