Process documentationSetting Up HTML Viewer

 

You use this process to set up the HTML Viewer POD plug-in (see HTML Viewer).

Prerequisites

  • If you use an MII servlet, you have installed both SAP MII and SAP NetWeaver.

  • In SAP NetWeaver, you have configured the destination as follows:

    Field

    Value

    The Transaction portion of the URL depends upon how you set up SAP MII and the transaction in SAP MII.
