Configure Repository Manager for BW documents

Use

The Repository Manager for BW documents allows you to integrate documents created in the BW system into Knowledge Management of the portal. The documents are divided into three document classes : Metadata , Master Data and InfoProvider Data . The Metadata document class contains manually created documents using metadata. These documents are not the automatically generated documents from the Metadata Repository. The Master Data document class contains documents for characteristic values, such as images for personnel numbers, descriptions, and technical specifications for materials. The InfoProvider Data document class contains documents for a combination of characteristic values, such as comments on key figures.

You can use the Data Warehousing Workbench to create documents or you can create them in BEx Web applications. For more information about displaying, creating, and changing documents in Web applications, see Using Documents in Web Applications .

Procedure

1. Log on to the portal.

2. Choose System Administration  System Configuration    Knowledge Management  Content Management  Repository Managers    BW Document Repository.

3. Enter the required data.

   The following table contains descriptions of each of the parameters; a plus sign (+) denotes advanced settings options.

   Parameter	Mandatory	Description
   Description	No	Description of the repository manager
   Prefix	Yes	URI prefix for which the repository manager for BW documents is registered. The repository is listed in the master directory using this entry. The URIs for all resources managed by this repository manager have this prefix. The prefix is used to identify the repository manager that is responsible for a resource with a particular URI. Note that the prefix has to be entered with a forward slash, for example, /bw_documents. The prefix in the BW system has to agree with the one in the portal.
   Active +	No	You can activate or deactivate the repository manager by setting this parameter.
   Hide in Root Folder +	No	This parameter specifies whether the repository is listed in the master directory. If you activate this parameter, the repository is not listed in the master directory.
   Repository Services	No	Identification of the repository services that you want to use for a repository.
   Property Search Manager	Yes	Selection of the manager for the property search. Choose com.sap.ip.bi.km.repository.manager.bidoc.BidocPropertySearchManager .
   Security Manager	Yes	This parameter cannot be changed and specifies the BW Document Security Manager . This controls access to the repository content. The BW Document Security Manager provides a connection to the BW system and checks for authorization to display or change documents.
   Send Events +	No	This parameter specifies whether the repository sends events when operations such as "delete" or "refresh content" are executed. The parameter must be activated to allow the repository to send events. This is necessary, for example, for the use of services such as the subscription service.
   Show empty Folders	No	If you activate this parameter, you can also display folders that do not contain any documents. Using the repository manager, you can then create new documents in the BW system in these empty folders. If you do not intend to use the repository manager to create new documents, we recommend deactivating this parameter.
   Show technical Names	No	If you activate this parameter, the technical names of the BW objects that the documents are based on are displayed. If you deactivate the parameter, you can still see the technical names of the BW objects using the tool tip.
   Read only	No	This parameter specifies whether the repository is write-protected.
   BW Lock Cache		By default, the cache is ca_bi_lock .
   BW Property Cache	No	This parameter specifies the cache for BW documents. By default, the cache is ca_bi_auth . You can also create a new cache, if required. To do this, choose Content Management   Utilities   Memory Cache  . When setting the Capacity and Default Time-to-Live parameters note how many documents are accessed simultaneously by all users. More information: Caches
   BW Security Cache	No	You use this parameter to specify the cache for BW documents with access authorizations. In the default setting, the cache is ca_bi_auth . You can also create a new cache, if required. To do this, choose Content Management   Utilities   Caches   Memory Cache. When setting the Capacity and Default Time-to-Live parameters note how many documents are accessed simultaneously by all users.
   Alias of BW System	Yes	Here you enter the alias of the BW system that you specified in the portal system landscape directory when you set up the BW system. The naming convention for the alias is <BW System ID>CLNT<Client>.
   Prefix of BW Metadata Repository	No	If you are using the repository manager for BW documents as well as the repository manager for BW metadata you can enter its prefix here. The two repository managers are now linked and you can, for example, see the documents created for an InfoObject in addition to the automatically generated documentation for the metadata. If you do not want automatically generated documents from the Metadata Repository to be displayed, leave this parameter empty. Any documents for metadata that you created are still displayed. If the documents for metadata are already migrated, the generated metadata documents are no longer displayed.
