Web Application Specific Parameters 

Use

After you have deployed the Web application you need to configure your application. For this application configuration you have to maintain different parameters in Extended Configuration Management (XCM). These parameters define how the deployed Web application (e.g. B2B) specifically runs at the customer if the customer specific application configuration that stores the parameter values is used in the Web shop URL.

For more information about installation of Web components and the XCM tool, see the installation guides in SAP Service Marketplace under the address service.sap.com/crm-inst -> SAP CRM 2006s -> SAP CRM 5.1 Server and Standalone Components.

You can access XCM via the following URL:

http://<host>:<port>/<web application>/admin/xcm/init.do

 

The following tables give an overview on some important configuration parameters. For more information about the parameter settings, see the documentation in XCM.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

If you use SSL you have to specify the HTTP and HTTPS port for each application participating in the secure communication.

Settings for SSL in XCM

Parameter	Description	Location in XCM
http.port.core	When using HTTPS you have to specify the HTTP port here.	General Settings  ® Customer  ® <application name> (for example: b2b)
https.port.core	When using HTTPS you have to specify the HTTPS port here	General Settings  ® Customer  ® <application name> (for example: b2b)

The protocol between the Web server and the SAP Web As Java 7.0 is HTTP, the application is never accessed using HTTPS. That means, if you have the infrastructure Web Browser  ®  HTTPS  ® Web Server  ® HTTP  ® J2EE Engine you need to start the application using the additional request parameter secure, for example “https://host:port/b2b/b2b/init.do?secure=true“.

Controlling the Look & Feel of the Web Application (Mime Objects)

The following parameters control the mime object (pictures, cascading style sheets, etc.) responsible for the look& feel of the web application.

 

Parameter	Description	Location in XCM
theme.core	Themes enable you to manage different records of mime objects. The parameter specified here determines which record is to be used.	Components  ® Customer  ® ui

Showing Java  Stacktrace in case of Application Error
