Hyperlinks to Documents 

Definition

A hyperlink links a document of any document class to a second document, without physically including the first document in the second document. Both documents must have been created in a format that supports hyperlinks, for example, HTML, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Excel.

Use

A distinction is made between the following document stores:

●      Stored in the BI system (SKWF) and accessed using the BI Document Repository Manager

●      Stored in the BI system (SKWF) and accessed using the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP)

●      Stored in Knowledge Management (see Migration of Documents into the CM Repository)

Stored in the BI System (SKWF) and Accessed Using the BI Document Repository Manager

The following types of link are possible:

You need the following information if you want to set a link from outside the BI system to a document for a BI object:

●      Portal server

●      Port

●      Name of the document to which you want to link

From this information, you build the URL as follows:

Document Class	URL
Metadata	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI Document Repository Prefix>/Metadata/ <Object Type>/ <Object Name>/ <Document Name>
Master data	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI Document Repository Prefix/MasterData/ <Characteristic Name>/ <Characteristic Value>/ <DOCUMENT>
InfoProvider data	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI Document Repository Prefix/InfoProviderData/… Documents that are assigned to InfoProviders and queries: /BI Document Repository Prefix/InfoProviderData/ <InfoProvider>/ <Query>/ <Document Name> Documents that are only assigned to InfoProviders (cross query): /BI Document Repository Prefix/InfoProviderData/ <InfoProvider>/ <Document Name> Documents that are used across InfoProviders: /BI Document Repository Prefix/InfoProviderData/ <Document Name>

The <BI Document Repository Prefix> placeholder includes the prefix that is configured for the BI Document Repository Manager (for example, /bi_documents).

For more information about this type of storage, access, and the significance of the <BI Documents Prefix> placeholder, see BI Document Repository Manager.

Stored in the BI System (SKWF) and Accessed Using the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP)

The following types of link are possible:

You need the following information if you want to set a link from outside the BI system to a document for a BI object:

●      Server (the SAP NetWeaver Application Server, not the ITS)

●      Port

●      Name of the document to which you want to link

From this information, you build the URL as follows:

Document Class	URL
Metadata	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/META/FLDMETA/<Document Name>
Master data	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/MAST/FLDMAST/<Document Name>
InfoProvider data	http://<Server>:<Port>/SAP/BW/DOC/TRAN/FLDTRAN/<Document Name>

Make sure that the name of the document is unique within the document class.

       1.      You use relative links to link documents that belong to the same document class.

To link to document 02, add the HTML code to document 01, using the following template:

<a href = "Name of document 02"> Text </a>

       2.      You can enhance the HTML code to link documents that do not belong to the same document class.

For example, if you want to set a link from document 01 (belonging to the META document class) to document 02 (belonging to the TRAN document class), add the HTML code to document 01 as follows:

<a href = "../../TRAN/FLDTRAN/"Name of document 02"> Text </a>

Stored in Knowledge Management (Migrated Documents)

You need the following information if you want to set a link from outside the BI system to a document for a BI object:

·         Portal server

·         Port

·         Name of the document to which you want to link

From this information, you build the URL as follows:

Document Class	URL
Metadata	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/Metadata/<Object Type>/<Object Name>/<Document Name> We recommend that you only migrate metadata documents if the metadata is not going to be transported.
Master data	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/MasterData/<Characteristic Name>/<Characteristic Value>/<Document Name>
InfoProvider data	http://<Portal Server>:<Port>/irj/go/km/docs/<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/InfoProviderData/… Documents that are assigned to InfoProviders and queries: /<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/InfoProviderData/ <InfoProvider>/ <Query>/ <Document Name> Documents that are only assigned to InfoProviders (cross query): /<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/InfoProviderData/ <InfoProvider>/ <Document Name> Documents that are used across InfoProviders: /<BI CM Repository Prefix>/<System Alias>/InfoProviderData/ <Document Name>

The <BI CM Repository Prefix> placeholder includes the prefix that is configured for the BI Document Repository Manager (for example, /bi_documents).

The <System Alias> placeholder corresponds to the system alias that is maintained for the system object in the BI system.
