Configuring the Application Properties

Use

You configure certain properties in SAP NetWeaver to specify how you want the strategy management application to run.

Prerequisites

You are an administrator of SAP NetWeaver.

Procedure

1. Start the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

2. Log on as administrator with the global password you provided when you installed SAP NetWeaver.

3. Select Configuration.

4. Click the Infrastructure tab.

5. Select Java System Properties.

6. In the Templates section, select the template that corresponds to your strategy management installation.

7. Click the Applications tab in the Details section.

8. In the Name column, type strategy and press Enter to list the strategy applications.

9. Select the name xapps~cpm~sm~strategymanagement.

10. In the Extended DetailsName section, click inside the text box and type the property you want to modify.

    Enter the following values as appropriate for your site:

    Java System Property	Description	Value
    template.strategy	Maps the strategy management virtual directory /strategy to a physical directory.	The default value is <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Strategy Management\InternetPub. If you installed the supporting files in the default location, you can keep the default value. If you installed the supporting files in a directory other than the default directory, you need to modify the value of template.strategy to reflect the location of the \InternetPub directory.
    PWDatabase	Strategy management application definitions are stored in the SAP NetWeaver System Database. Pwdatabase specifies the storage collection within the system database in which to store application data. When you start the strategy management application, a Launch page appears and allows the user to select the database if there are more than one for selection. If some users start the applications directly without the Launch page, the value of PWDatabase specifies the storage collection to use.	If all users use the Launch page, you do not need to set a value for this Java System Property. If some users start the applications directly without the Launch page, you need to modify this Java System Property to specify the storage collection to use. The pw storage collection contains your scorecard data. The pwsample storage collection contains sample data.
    HelpLocation	Specifies the location of the Application Help files for strategy management. The SAP NetWeaver Library must be already installed before you install the strategy management Application Help on the same server. Links to SAP NetWeaver Application Help and SAP Getting Started Application Help only work when implemented on a server with the complete SAP NetWeaver help system. For information about downloading the strategy management Application Help, see the Central Note for the latest release. By default, the HelpLocation is set to the location of the SAP Library.	Enter the location of the Application Help files in the format: <NW_server>/<path>/helpdata
    HomeTabExtFileTypes	Specifies the file types the strategy management administrator can include as external content in Administration  Configure Home Tab in the administration application. If the strategy management administrator attempts to upload a file whose file type is not one of these values, an information message appears.	By default, HomeTabExtFileTypes is set to include a list of file types that can always be displayed correctly in Internet Explorer. The default values are SWF, PNG, GIF, JPG, and PDF file types. You can remove any file type to make it unavailable for upload by the strategy management administrator. Adding other file types may produce unpredictable results. Internet Explorer handles the display of Microsoft Office DOC and XLS files based on each user's Windows settings. The only way to ensure proper behavior when a user attempts to display external content from a Microsoft Office file is for the user to edit that particular file type and specify that only the Browse in the same window option is selected for the Open action.
    acceptlanguage	Specifies the language to use for the user interface text that can be customized by the strategy management administrator. This user interface text includes scorecard hierarchy levels, initiative types, and standard scorecard attributes such as Lead/Lag and Qualitative/Quantitative. This setting takes effect when you create a new database or upgrade a database that was exported from 7.5.	Specify the two-letter value to be used to set the initial value for the application properties which can be customized by the administrator in the application. The default setting is en for English.
    AuditLogComments	Controls whether the strategy management administrator can enter a comment when adding, modifying, or renaming entries in these Administration application screens: Manage Models Set Defaults Update User Responsibilities Delete Obsolete Items When running the Auditor tool at http://<nw_server>:<port>/strategy/tools, comments appear next to the activity. For information about the Auditor, see the Application Server Administrator's Guide on the SAP Help Portal at https://help.sap.com/viewer/p/SAP_STRATEGY_MANAGEMENT.	When set to Yes, this property prompts the strategy management administrator to enter a comment when adding, modifying, or renaming entries in the administration application. If this property is set to No, the strategy management administrator is not prompted to add comments and no comments appear in the log. The default setting is Yes.
    DisableExcelDownloadEA	Controls the availability of the Excel data entry format.	When set to Yes, the Excel data entry format becomes unavailable. Only HTML-based data entry will be available.
    EntryApprovalRole	Allows you to customize the name of the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role if you want to use a name other than SSM_Entry_And_Approval.	Enter a new name for the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role. When creating the role in SAP NetWeaver Administrator and adding users to it, make sure you name the role using the value you enter for this Java System Property. The default value is SSM_Entry_And_Approval. If yo want to use the default value, create a role called SSM_Entry_And_Approval. For information about creating the role, see Adding Entry and Approval Users to an Entry and Approval Role.
    EnableEAMobile	Enables Entry and Approval functionality when using an iPad.	Valid values are Yes and No. The default setting is Yes.
    EAValueAuditFlag	Displays a Details button in the Approval Log to enable detailed logging in the Entry and Approval Log. When users click the Details button and display the Approval Log, they see the full audit trail of the selected measure set. The log captures detailed user interactions, including time stamps for approval, rejection and uploading of measures. They see a detailed log about every data value entered in the Entry and Approval Data Entry screen or Excel spreadsheet for the current time period. For example, if a data value is rejected by the approver, the previous value is also captured.	To enable detailed logging and display a Details button in the Approval Log, set this value to YES.
    EnableLegacyReports	Displays a link on the Launch page to use the Reports and Dashboards tabs from the 7.5 version of the application.	To hide the link for running legacy reports and dashboards, keep the default value of No. To display legacy reports as a link on the Launch page, specify a value of Yes.
    mail.smtp.host	First of three parameters used to implement e-mail notifications. E-Mail notifications are e-mail messages that are sent to users at certain times to inform them about changes that have occurred in initiatives, milestones, submilestones, objectives, KPIs, and measure sets. Once you set up mail connectivity with mail.smtp.host, mail.from, and mail.domain, users can control whether they want to receive e-mail notifications in the Subscribe dialog box of the Inbox section in the Home tab.	Specify a mail server that can relay mail internally. Use your company's name in place of <mycompany>. Here are some sample values, where <mycompany> is the name of your company: smtp.<mycompany>.com internet.<mycompany>.com mail.<mycompany>.com
    mail.from	Second of three parameters used to implement e-mail notifications	Specify an e-mail alias. For example, sm@<mycompany>.com. If you did not set up an sm@<mycompany>.com e-mail alias, then modify the property to specify the e-mail address of the user who sends notifications. (Optional) Work with your IT department to set up an e-mail alias for the strategy management application called sm@<mycompany>.com, or whatever name is appropriate.
    mail.domain	Third of three parameters used to implement e-mail notifications	Specify your company's name. Use the following format for the value: <mycompany>.com
    pd4ml.fontconfigpath	Specifies the location of the fontconfig.<OS>.properties file, which contains a mapping of TrueType Font names and font files.	Enter the location of the file in the format java:/<Install-Directory>/fontconfig.<OS>.properties
    Pd4ml.fontdir	Specifies the location of the font directory to use when the application generates a PDF file. PDF file generation occurs when a user prints views, reviews printed views, or exports briefing books to PDFs.	By default, the value is file:c:/Windows/Fonts, which is the default location for fonts on a Microsoft Windows server. If you installed your fonts to a non-default location, or if you are running a different type of Windows server, you must change this value to the appropriate location of the fonts on that server.
    StrategyGroup	Specify a valid SAP NetWeaver UME group name that contains the users and system groups who you want to appear in these user lists: Administration  Manage Models in the administration application Entry and approval user lists. This is only populated if there is no Entry and Approval role created. For more information, see Adding Entry and Approval Users to an Entry and Approval Role	By default, this value is set to strategy. When you eventually create the strategy group in UME, and add the users and groups, make sure you specify the exact name for this value. For information, see Creating a Strategy Group for Users and System Groups
