Description of the repository manager

Prefix

Yes

URI prefix for which the Repository Manager for BI Documents is registered.

This entry lists the repository in the master directory.

The URIs for all resources managed by this repository manager have this common prefix. The prefix is used to identify the repository manager that is responsible for a resource with a particular URI. Note that the prefix has to be entered with a diagonal slash, for example, /bi_documents.

Active +

No

You can activate or deactivate the repository manager by setting this parameter.

Hide in root folder +

No

This parameter specifies whether the repository is listed in the master directory.

If you activate this parameter, the repository is not listed in the master directory.

Repository services

No

Identification of the Repository Services that you want to use for a repository.

Property search manager

Yes

Selection of the manager for the property search.

Choose com.sap.ip.bi.km.repository.manager.bidoc.BidocPropertySearchManager.

Security manager

Yes

This parameter cannot be changed and specifies the security manager BI Document Security Manager. This controls access to the repository content. The BI Document Security Manager provides a connection to the BW system and checks whether authorization exists to display or change the documents.

Send Events +

No

This parameter specifies whether the repository sends events when operations like “delete” or “refresh content” are performed.

The parameter has to be activated if you want the repository to send events. This is necessary, for example, when using services like the subscription service.

Show empty folders

No

If you activate this parameter you are also able to see folders that do not contain any documents. You can then create new documents in the BI system in these empty folders, using the repository manager.

If you do not intend to use the repository manager to create new documents, SAP recommends that you deactivate this parameter.

Show technical names

No

If you activate this parameter, the technical names of the BI objects upon which the documents are based are displayed.

If you deactivate the parameter you can still see the technical names of the BI objects using the tool tip.

Read only

No

This parameter specifies whether the repository is write-protected.

Lifetime metadata cache

No

Here you can set the lifetime of cache elements for metadata in seconds. If you enter the value 0, the cache is deactivated.

Lifetime property cache

No

Here you can set the lifetime of cache elements for the properties of documents in seconds. If you enter the value 0, the cache is deactivated.

Lifetime security cache

No

Here you can set the lifetime of cache elements for the user-specific access authorizations in seconds. The security cache is deleted automatically in the background according to the time specification entered here. If you enter the value 0, the cache is deactivated.

If a number of users are accessing the Repository Manager for BI Documents, SAP recommends that you deactivate the cache and set the value at 0 to avoid too great a memory consumption.

Alias of BI System

Yes

Here you enter the alias of the BI system that you specified in the portal system landscape directory when you set up the BI system.

The two repository managers are now linked and, for example, not only can you see the documents created for an InfoObject, but also the automatically generated documentation for the metadata.
