Configuring Dynamic List to Display Web Forms
Use
In the standard delivery the Dynamic List can display an article from the Web forms delivered by SAP. To display custom forms that are structured differently from the Article, you need to perform a number of configuration steps. The configuration files for the supported Web forms by Dynamic List are stored in the /etc/DynamicList repository. This repository is already configured in the standard delivery. It contains the folders for the following configuration files:
|
Folder Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Mappings |
The folder contains the XML files with the mapping definitions of the Web forms that should be displayed in the Dynamic List . By default, there is a basic XML file in the folder with the WebFormMappings name. |
|
Layouts |
The folder contains the XSLT files that define the presentation of Web forms in the Dynamic List . By default, there is a basic layout in the folder with the BasicLayout name. |
|
Themes |
The folder contains the themes for the items in the Dynamic List . By default, there is a basic theme in the folder with the BasicTheme name. |
|
Mimes |
The folder contains a default image file with the image_not_found.jpg name. This image file is displayed in the Dynamic List , when a Web form does not have its own image. |
The Dynamic List uses the AS Java cache management infrastructure. AS Java implements the concept of a centralized cache management infrastructure that consolidates caches that are used by various applications within the SAP system landscape. This infrastructure is provided by the Cache Management Library (CML). Note that when you modify the layouts or the themes in the /etc/DynamicList repository, the modifications might be visible after a certain period of time because of the CML configuration.
