Wizard-Based Basic Configuration for Knowledge Management
After completing the installation of the Enterprise Portal, you need to perform a number of configuration steps to enable the basic use of Knowledge Management (KM). These steps are essential to enable the use of KM features.
To enable the full use of all features, you need to install and configure Search and Classification (TREX).
You can work through most configuration tasks automatically using the functional unit configuration tool. For more information, see Functional Unit Configuration .
Only work through the wizard-based functional unit configuration if your system has not yet been configured.
You use the functional unit configuration task to carry out the steps listed in the table below for KM. If you do not want to use the automated configuration option, you must work through these steps manually.
