To use Knowledge Management (KM) in CAF, you need to configure SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to serve as a provider system for your SAP NetWeaver. The SAP NetWeaver consumer system can be SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 Enhancement Package 1 and its higher releases, SAP NetWeaver 7.2 and its higher releases, or SAP NetWeaver 7.3 and its higher releases.
Below we refer to SAP NetWeaver consumer system as a CAF system, and to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 as a KM system.
You need to configure connectivity between the two systems. The CAF system connects to the KM system using Web services, so the Web services need to be configured on both systems. To obtain access to the KM repository you also need to create instances of the CAF security and repository managers on the KM system.
A single KM system may be used by several CAF systems. That is why you have to make sure your CAF system has the following items set up on the Knowledge Management (KM) system:
1. Configure Communications Between Systems
