Carrying Out the Initial Configuration 

Use

Before working with the Web Page Composer, carry out the initial configuration steps outlined below.

Prerequisites

●      You have the following roles:

○       System Administration

○       Content Administration

○       User Administration

 

●      You have created a backup copy of the existing KM configuration data. For more information, see SAP Note 1000150. If errors occur during the configuration process that require you to restore the configuration data, see SAP Note 1000351 for information about restoring the previously backed-up configuration.

 

●      You have configured the URL generator service.

If you want to make Web sites available externally, you have to specify a host that external users can reach in the URL generator service.

If you subsequently change the host name, you must publish all the Web pages again in order for the search to find the pages.
