Enterprise Knowledge Management

4.3.2.1 Overview

Enterprise Knowledge Management provides all you need for the planning, building, and operation of an integrated work environment for information workers:

n Consolidation and integration of customers’ Intranet platforms

n A technical platform to rebuild and consolidate different internal information strategies into one, easy to maintain framework

n Interaction between business applications and business documents

Enterprise Knowledge Management provides central, role-based access to all of your information assets and provides a connection between structured business data and unstructured documents. All users ‒ according to

their role ‒ are enabled to contribute to and profit from the easy creation, distribution and classification of information.

This scenario includes the following variants:

n Content Integration and Management

Integrating repositories, defining metadata, indexing documents, creating taxonomies, and configuring user interfaces.

n Content Creation, Publication, and Access

Setting up an authoring environment; uploading or otherwise creating documents; publishing, classifying, approving, and sharing information; and searching for, navigating to, or being notified about information.

n Documentation, Training Materials and Manuals Management

Provides the environment to create, translate, edit, publish, and manage documentation, training materials, and manuals.

n Optionally, you could run AS ABAP and AS Java in two separate systems.

n When you install SAP GUI, make sure that you also select the installation of KW add-on.

4.3.2.3 Implementation Sequence

To install this IT scenario, perform the steps listed in the following table:

Step Action

[Corresponding Documentation]

Remarks

1 Make sure that you have performed the preparation steps:

n You have planned your system landscape (that is, you have decided how many systems you require, how you want to use each of these systems, and which standalone engines and clients you require).

n With the help of your hardware partner, you have mapped your systems and standalone engines to properly sized hosts.

n You have planned and installed shared services [page30].

4.3 IT Scenarios

Step Action

[Corresponding Documentation]

Remarks

2 For the IT scenario variants Content Integration and

Management and Content Creation, Publication, and Access, installation of a system with usage type EP

(includes the installation of AS Java)

[Installation Guide ‒ SAP Netweaver 2004s <Technology>

on <Operating System>: <Database>]

Make sure that you perform the configuration steps as described in the installation guide. For certain usage types, configuration templates exist that can be applied by the Template Installer. In addition, all required configuration steps for your IT scenario are listed in SAP Solution Manager. For more information, see the Installation Guide

‒ SAP Netweaver 2004s <Technology> on <Operating System>: <Database>.

3 For IT scenario variant Documentation, Training

Materials and Manuals Management, installation of a

system with usage types AS ABAP and AS Java. [Installation Guide ‒ SAP Netweaver 2004s <Technology>

on <Operating System>: <Database>]

n Optionally, you could run AS ABAP and AS Java in two separate systems.

n If you want to run IT scenario variant

Documentation, Training Materials and Manuals Management and any of the other two variants

of this IT scenario, you could opt to run all required usage types EP and AS ABAP in one system.

n Make sure that you perform the configuration steps as described in the installation guide. For certain usage types, configuration templates exist that can be applied by the Template Installer. In addition, all required configuration steps for your IT scenario are listed in SAP Solution Manager. For more information, see the Installation Guide ‒ SAP

NetWeaver.

4 Installation of standalone engines:

n For IT scenario variant Documentation, Training

Materials and Manuals Management, install the

Content Server.

[Installation Guide ‒ SAP Content Server 6.30]

n For both scenario variants, install Search and Classification (TREX).

[Installation Guide ‒ SAP NetWeaver TREX] .Note_{After the installation of Search and}

Classification (TREX), you have to configure the systems that communicate with TREX (for more information, see the documentation Installation Guide ‒ SAP

NetWeaver TREX):

n ABAP applications access TREX functions using the TREX ABAP client and the RFC protocol. In this case, you have to perform the post-installation steps to set up an RFC connection.

n Java applications access TREX functions using the TREX Java client and the HTTP/HTTPS protocol. In this case, you have to perform the post-installation steps to set up an HTTP connection.

Step Action

[Corresponding Documentation]

Remarks

Note that some applications use both the ABAP and the Java client.

5 For IT scenario variant Documentation, Training

Materials and Manuals Management: Install client SAP

GUI.

[Installation Guide ‒ SAP Front End]

n When you install SAP GUI, make sure that you also select the installation of KW add-on.

n If you want to use Microsoft Office as an editing tool, register the dynamic link library

htmltidy.dllon each SAP GUI client. For

more information, see SAP Note517439.
