Configuring CAF for Knowledge Management Integration
Context
You need to configure Knowledge Management (KM) for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to serve as a provider for the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (CE) or SAP NetWeaver 7.3 system.
To ease reading of this section, we are going to refer to both SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (CE) and SAP NetWeaver 7.3 systems as SAP NetWeaver CE system in the text below.
Procedure
- Configure CAF maintenance components and SAP NetWeaver Portal for SAP NetWeaver CE
and for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. The steps are:
- Preparing the URL generator service to access KM resources
In KM under
System Administration 
System Configuration Knowledge Management Content Management (Mode Advanced ) Global Services URL Generator Service 
. For more information, see URL Generator Service. - Determining document types based on the mime handler.
Go to
System Administration System Configuration Knowledge Management Content Management Utilities MIME Types .You can modify existing group or define new ones. For example if you want .log files to be recognized as plain text files, you create a new group, and set its name as logFiles, the extension as log and mime type as plain/text.
NoteCAF versions prior to CAF 7.0 SP7 used Web Dynpro classes to define MIME type to upload documents. As a result, MS Word documents had the type application/vnd.ms-word. Beginning with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SP07, CAF uses KM routines and the documents have the type application/msword. Both types are valid; however, only the latter type is accepted by TREX by default. As result, MS Word documents cannot be found.
Add the string application/vnd.ms-word to the configuration file: \usr\sap\<a trex instance name 1>\<a trex instance name 2> \<hostname>\TREXValidMimeTypes.ini.
For more information, see Mime Handler Service.
