Use

Glossary definitions are maintained in SAPterm using the Structure link SAPscript editor.

When you create a glossary entry, SAPterm uses a predefined style template that ensures a consistent layout for the definition in both the SAPscript display (SAP System text editor) and in the HTML display (Web browser format).

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Call up transaction SAPterm.
  2. Enter the term for which you want to create a glossary entry and choose Maintain.

    3. The Maintain Entry screen appears.

  3. Choose Glossary entry from the application toolbar.

    4. The SAPscript editor appears.

    The application component name and ID of the term are automatically inserted in the title line.

  4. Enter the glossary definition.

    5. Note

    Choose Format ® Paragraph to see a list of available paragraph formats.

  5. Save the glossary definition.
  6. Return to the Maintain Entry screen.

A dialog box appears, asking if you want to create the HTML version of the glossary entry now.
  1. Choose Yes for the glossary entry to be created immediately, or No for the entry to be created later.

Result

SAPscript glossary entries are created immediately in a database table to be distributed to other systems as part of the language transports from the translation system. This means that you can create links from system objects to new entries once the table contents are available in the system you are working in.

HTML glossary entries are replicated in the Info Repository within a few minutes or in an automatic, overnight background job if you choose to wait. You can create links from Knowledge Warehouse documentation to new entries as soon as the HTML exists in the Info Repository.
