Starting KM Development with Wizards 

Use

When you begin development with Knowledge Management (KM), the easiest approach is to use one of the wizards that are integrated in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. These automatically enhance the portal project with items that are necessary for a deployable KM project. They create additional folders, generate files with code fragments and add references to essential KM JAR files.

The following wizards are available:

●      Repository manager wizard
This supports the creation of a repository manager and its core functions like locking, versioning and property handling.

●      Services and filters wizard
This supports the creation of :

○       Repository services

○       Global services

○       Filters

○       Scheduler tasks

Procedure

...

       1.      Start the wizard you require. To do this, choose one of the following:

○        with the quick info text Create RF Managers

○        with the quick info text Create RF services, filters, and scheduler tasks

       2.      Enter the required data.

For both wizards types, select NW04 for the ConfigFramework Version.

       3.      Choose Finish. The wizard:

○       Adds JAR files to the java build path required for the component in question.

○       Creates java files in the src api directory. These contain code templates.

○       Adds the folder src.config with subfolders. These contain configuration files with initial content for the component.

       4.      After running the wizard, you need to reference additional KM JAR files that are required for your development project. Although the wizard automatically references JAR files, some are still missing.
For more information, see Referencing JAR Files.

       5.      Extensions only:
If you are developing an extension with a wizard, you must check whether a value for the KEY is entered in the IRFServiceWrapperinterface.
