Use

If you want to use Web repositories that comprise multiple Web sites, you can either configure them as completely dynamic, or you can explicitly reference a number of Web sites that the repository manager is to cover.

Integration

All Web sites you specify are offered as possible choices in the Web repository manager configuration.

Prerequisites

An HTTP system has been created and configured. For more information, see  HTTP System

Use

If the remote server requires form-based logon, enter the necessary logon parameters. For more information, see  Web Repository Manager.

The following parameters are available for the configuration of a Web site:

Web Site Parameters

Parameter Mandatory or Optional Description

Name

Mandatory

Name of the Web site.

Display Name

Optional

The display name for the Web site, which becomes the displayname property of the resource that is displayed in the browser.

The special character '/' is not permitted.

Login Form ID

This parameter could be mandatory depending on the Web site you are pointing to.

Specifies the HTML ID of the logon dialog box.

Normally the logon dialog box of the HTML page is recognized automatically. If, for example, there are several logon dialog boxes, you can select the correct login form ID here.

Login URI

This parameter could be mandatory depending on the Web site you are pointing to.

URI of an HTML page that is used to call the logon dialog box of the remote server.

Enter the URI relative to the system URI, for example, /irj/portal.

If logon always takes place using a dedicated server, enter the complete URI, for example, http://company.com/login.

Login User Agent

This parameter could be mandatory depending on the Web site you are pointing to.

HTTP user agent used for the logon.

This is needed in case the remote server generates the logon page according to the HTTP user agent. If not HTTP user agent is specified, an error page is returned instead of the logon dialog box.

You need this specification when accessing another portal.

Example: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Start Page

Optional

Explicitly specified start page that overrides the default start page of the Web site.

Enter the relative part of the URL for the server URL (see example).

System ID (Landscape Service)

Mandatory

Specifies the System ID entered in the definition of an HTTP system.

Login Timeout

Optional

Timeout in milliseconds after which the cookies with the logon information becomes invalid and a new logon is required.

A session is generated for each cookie. If inactivity takes place, the session may be deleted. SAP therefore recommends that you choose a short timeout period of around 20 minutes (1200000 ms).

System Path

Optional

Optional suffix for the server URL that is entered in the HTTP system.

This makes it possible to use the same system for different locations in the system's URL namespace.

 

Activities

To create or edit a Web site name, choose Start of the navigation path System Administration Next navigation step System Configuration Next navigation step Knowledge Management Next navigation step Content Management Next navigation step Repository Managers Next navigation step Web Sites Next navigation step Web Site End of the navigation path.

Then choose this Web site in the configuration of a Web repository manager.

Example

You want to store all sports documents from http://www.spiegel.de/sport/index.html in one Web repository.

 

You create an HTTP system.

System ID        = SPIEGELServer-URL       = http://www.spiegel.de

You configure a Web site and enter the HTTP system you just defined.

Name         = spiegelDisplay Name = Der SpiegelStart Page   = /sport/index.htmlSystem Path  = /sportSystem ID    = SPIEGEL

You create a Web repository manager and assign the Web site to it:

Name      = webPrefix    = /webWeb Sites = spiegel
...

All documents whose URLs match the combination of server URL and system path, that is, all documents that can be found at http://www.spiegel.de/sport/, can be accessed through the web Web repository.
