Debugging Settings 

Use

The Knowledge Management user interface can be modified extensively. To obtain information on the configuration of the elements used for depiction during routine operation, you do not have to look in the configuration. You can get this information using the Rendering Information link in the left-hand upper area of a window.

 

Features

The user that needs access to this information needs to be defined in the configuration.

 

Parameters of the Debugging Settings

Parameter	Required	Description
Enable Rendering Information	No	For (de)activating the debugging information for all entered users.

Activities

Configuration

To define the user for which debugging information is to be displayed, choose Content Management ® User Interface ® Debugging Settings.

If you now call up a folder or an iView, the Rendering Information link is displayed in the upper left-hand area of the window.

 

Functions in the Window ‘Rendering Information’

 

The functions and information offered are primarily aimed at experienced administrators and SAP Support.

 

You can use the following functions:

Function	Description
Save Capabilities to:	You can use this function to store information on the collection and resource renderers used in a CSV file. This file contains information on which implementation of a renderer supports which parameters.
Save RenderObjectsOutput to:	You can use this function to store information that is displayed in this iView under Render Objects in a text file.
Save CustomizingControllerOutput to:	You can use this function to store information that is displayed in this iView under Customizing Information in a text file.

 

You can use the following commands and information:

 

·        UICommand Information

The link opens a browser window containing all commands and command groups that are available in the system.

 

·        UICollectionRendererSettings Information

The link opens a browser window containing all collection renderer settings that are available in the system.

 

·        UIFactories Information

Displays information on the loaded JAVA classes.

 

·        OTH Overview

The link calls up an overview of all OTH files. Choose Reload to reload OTH information to the system.

Choose Details View to see which OTH files are used for the selected resource. Choose Check OTHs to start the resource check. Choose List all OTHs to return to the overview of OTH files.

 

·        Show in Admin Explorer

The link opens the folder from which you chose the link Rendering Information and displays it using the layout set AdminExplorer. This provides administrators with more functions for troubleshooting than does the layout set with errors.

 

 

If you open the Render Objects area, you obtain information on the elements below.

 

The following information is only valid for the window that you called this iView from.

Java classes that can be used for rendering do not always give information on the rendering. Certain Java classes might therefore not appear in the overview.

·        Layout Controller

·        Control

When you open an entry, you see an overview of the current parameterization. This list does not necessarily match the resource renderer settings (see Priority of Settings).
