Defining the Base Location for Documentation in the SAP Solution Composer

The base location depends on whether your target documentation is located in a locally installed SAP Solution Composer or at the ES Workplace.

The correct base locations are published on the SAP Developer Network (SDN) at  https://www.sdn.sap.com  SOA Middleware  Repository-Based Modeling and Design . In the Knowledge Center on the Repository-Based Modeling and Design page, select Enterprise Services Repository and Registry .
