Adjusting Mime Handler Service Properties 

Use

You use the MIME handler service to determine the type of MIME documents and to associate different document icons with different document types. Before using non-standard file extension types in CAF, you calculate CAF attachments of type MIME with the help of the global portal service MimeTypeHandler.

Procedure

       1.      Logon to the SAP NetWeaver Portal with http://<host>:<port>/irj.

Remember to replace <host> and <port> with the machine name of the portal you are using.

       2.      Go to System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management → Utilities → MIME Types.

You can modify existing group or define new ones. For example if you want .log files to be recognized as plain text files, you create a new group, and set its name as logFiles, the extension as log and mime type as plain/text.
