BI content with folder structure in portal Content Area

HI Dear Friends,
I have  a requirement in my current project where i am integrating the BI reports with SAP EP.Iviews are associated with BI Reports.In the portal on clicking workset it should display folders in the portal content area with Icons instead of in Detail navigation .On click of the displayed folders it should display its sub content with Icons.
I tried in all ways but later i came to know there there is a SAP BI business package which would come up with predifined iviews associated with BI. By importing this business package we can dispaly the  BI content in the portal in a folder format .
I am using BI and EP 7.0 versions.

Ratnakar,
   Let me understand your requirements, correct me if I understood it wrong. You need to display BI reports in Folder structure that is similar when you log on through BEx analyzer or WAD. If this is correct, then you need to upload the BI Role which contain all the required Folder structures and it BI Queries or BI Queries url assigned to that role.Once you upload this role on to portal , you will see folder structure on PCA.
Example
BI Reports  - Folder 1
  I--> FI reports  -- Subfolder 1
  I            I--> AP reports 1
  I--> CO reports  -- Subfolder 2
               I--> Cost Report 1         
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Balaji

  • Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server

    Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server
    Hi to all,
    I working with Oracle Content Server 10g and Desktop Integration Suite and I will like to know how can I restrict or enable some specific metadatas from the default metadata, for differents content folder. This is different from the function: Information Field Inherit Configuration.
    tnks!

    I am a bit unclear about your question:
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to folders, or
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to items in folders?
    Starting from #2, if you forget about folders, there is standard functionality that you can use to restrict, enable, ... metadata for an item. Read this chapter: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c04_metadata.htm#sthref288 to get full details.
    I am not sure whether you can use anything of this functionality (profiles, option lists, etc.) when you check in a new folder. I doubt it, though. The logic of folders is slightly different - whilst e.g. profiles correspond to "content item", you don't find such a correspondence in folder's hierarchy (why a folder could not contain various content types, for instance?)
    Last question is, from where you want to use this functionality - even for items. In 10g, Desktop Integration Suite's functionality was rather limited (often it was supposed that a user will just 'throw' an item to a folder, and metadata will be inherited from folders). You might have to upgrade your DIS to 11g; it should work even with 10g Content Server, but make sure you verify it before mass upgrade. In 11g, DIS should offer profiles, etc. with full capabilities.

  • Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

    Dear All,
    Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
    When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
    I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through  the Portal to access the ABAP  Database through Web browser.
    I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
    I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
    Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.

  • How to check In a file with folder structure

    Hi,
    Is it possible to check in "a file with its complete folder structure".
    For Ex: folder A contains Folder B and B contains a file , Then is there an option to check in the file in content server with the same structure A-->B-->file.
    Thanks In advance.

    JRS, this will copy ALL the files and folders from folder A to the content server.
    If he only wants to copy file A that is inside folder B than your way is somewhat overkill unless you are sure that the file is the only one in the complete structure but that i doubt...
    I haven't checked it before but perhaps someone can tell if this is possible...
    If you check in a file, perhpas you can get the original file and foldername from the metadata. If this is possible, you can create your own code that hooks on the check in and then create a directory or just move the file in the directory.
    I have written such a component but it's based on some custom metadata we use, not on the original filename.
    If i find the time, i will try some things and tell you if it works

    I have used Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Translation Worlist Coordination to:
    1) Generate worklist and add content
    2) Generte translation data
    3) Release for translation
    After this, I am using Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation for following:
    1) Load worklist for translation
    2) Translate worklist
    I am facing difficulty in Translate Worklist. The step by step method followed by me are as below:
    I am clicking on Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation.
    I am searching Translation Worklist and selecting my Worklist
    After this I am selecting following
    Source Language - English
    Target Language - Spanish
    Then I am clicking on 'Load for Translation' button. New screen appears. In this screen, Translatable Text table is shown:
    It shows following

    When I am using following combination
    Source Language - Raw Texts
    Target Language - Raw Texts.
    I click on Next for three times as there are three line Number (0, 1 & 2). The status changes to Translated.
    I do not know what is going wrong with my process while selecting Source Language - English & Target Language - Spanish .
    I have another question. I have to translate content of entire URL iView. How I can change the whole content of URL iView.
    In the source text I can NOT see the contents of URL iView.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Prakash,
    Did you check whether the translation has been done completely in PCD inspector? Some times you would have translated using Portal translation but it will not be written in the locale of the iView property.  Then we have to set it manually in the PCD inspector.
    Follow the procedure.
    1. navigate to System Administration -> Support -> Portal Content Directory -> PCD Inspector
    This will open the PCD inspector.
    2. "Browse Into" the iview where you have developed it.
    3. Click on the "All Props" for the iView which you need to translate.
    This will open the Properties in new window
    4. Check the property "com.sap.portal.pcm.title" what is maintained in Chinese? if it still displaying in English text against Chinese, Then you need to  Edit the property for chinese and have to give the actual chinese word.
    Note  : I hope you would have selected "Raw Text"  for Source language and "Chinese" as Target language. Pls confirm on this.
    Thanks,

  • Converting an entire folder structure with images to jpeg, intact with folder structure.

    Hi!
    I have a rather large folder structure consisting of images dating all the way back to when I got my first digital camera in '98.
    The images are captured with a variety of cameras over the years and also includes image types processed with software. It's an almost 1,5 terabytes holy mixture of CR2, ARW, JPEG, PSD, PSB, TIFF, HDR and probably more that i forgot. However all of the formats can be read by photoshop/bridge. The file structure is /YYYYMMDD/file.ext. Converting the files folder by folder using the standard Image processor feature in bridge/photoshop is not really an option, considering the size of the structure.
    What I am trying to do is to convert the entire structure to .jpeg, both for backup purposes and also for being able to view all the images on devices other than my computer. It's important that the raw files are converted with their respecive .xmp adjustments applied.
    Is there any possible way to achieve this? I don't have lightroom, but if it can do this I will purchase it. Maybe some other image managment applications, like ACDSee, can do this?
    If someone know of any applications or (photoshop) scripts that can do this, or have any tips for me it is *HIGHLY* appreciated!

    Paul Riggott: T-H-A-N-K-S!
    The Russell Brown script is exactly what I needed, couldnt ask for anything better. I tried it out for a test run on a folder with 10 subfolders containing various file types and it recreated the folder structure complete with jpegs on another disk. The script have lots of useful options for converting, naming, color space conversion and much more.
    The one small thing to take note of, if others are reading this, is that you have to open the script in Photoshop in order to to process entire folder structures (including subfolders). If you launch the script from Bridge, it will only let you process single files and not folders.
    Again, you really made my day with this tip. Thanks

  • Importing images with folder structure

    Hi
    I want to import images into Lightroom that are on my hard disk but keeping the existing folder structure.  When I try this, even if I tick include sub folders, the images import but all within the parent folder - all sub folders are ignored.
    Is there a way around this?
    Many thanks

    Are you selecting "Add" at the top of the import dialog when importing?  That preserves folder structure by adding them to the Lightroom catalog in-place.

  • Export with folder structure

    When a folder in the library contains subfolders, and LR is set to show files in subfolders, when the parent folder is selected, and all pictures are exported, they all end directly in the export folder. It would be great to have an option to recreate the folder structure, to maintain the original classification without having to export each subfolder separately.

    I would like to see the tree structure be available for every export type, maybe as a "filter" stage: i.e. publisher + exports.
    In the mean time, there are plugins:
    TreeSync3(export)
    TreePublisher

  • How to replace a Smart object content with folder of JPGs

    Greetings!
    Sorry if that title is not clear. I have a cover design template (see example). The image is a transformed Smart Object. I want to streamline my workflow.
    Say I have a folder of jpgs, and need to replace the smart object of the template with the new cover jpg, then save for web as a JPG comp. Repeat.
    I already have a nice "scale layer to current canvas size" script from Michael L Hale. Which would be necessary in case the jpg is larger or smaller than the Smart object's content it will replace.
    Any thoughts if this could be done?
    Michael's resize script is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1233856
    Thanks
    Maxi

    Remember in that other tread I wrote you would need to take aspect ratio into account if you don't want distortion. You do not want distortion placing in images.   You also do not want to place in all image in canvas size.  If your images vary in size you do not want to replace the contents of a smart object layer for the smart object associated transform to work correctly you need the replace the embedded object with an object with exactly the same size of the original embedded object.
    Also in that other thread I gave you code from one of my Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit.  You seem to be creating a collage. You man want to look at my Photo Collage Toolkit.
    Templates are very easy to create for my Toolkit's scripts to work, You just need to follow four simple easy rules.
    The Four Rules:
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
    So your template would be easy and look like this, Red rectangle outlines my scripts.
    You would then use one of the scripts like interactive popopulate select the template then hit create collage
    The script would the open the template copy it the go to full screen show you a cyan mask as to where the next image will be placed, And put you into an interactive select image dialog.
    Once you select the script will place in the image resize and position it the put you in an interactive transform so you can tweak the position and size. The Populated collage will remain open in Photoshop.

  • Problems with folder structure

    I have a mess in Lightroom 3 as far as folders (and on my hard drive).  I want to reorganize everything into a single main folder, subdivided by date, and rely on keywords and collections for sorting.  I know everyone does it different but I am wanting to go the Scott Kelby route, "You can have as many sub-folders inside that one main folder as you want, but if you want to have peace, calm, and order in your Lightroom, the key is not to import photos from all over your computer. Choose one main folder and put all your photos inside that folder. THEN import them into Lightroom."
    My question is, since I already have photos in many places on my computer and a lot of folders in Lightroom, how do I go to this format.  I am tempted to move all of my photos on my computer out of their current folders and into one giant folder (/Photos) and reimport everything into a new catalogue by date.  My concern is I will lose the existing "lightroom data" associated with those photos (flags, picks, ratings, key words, develop settings...).  Hoep that makes sense and someone can help me out.
    Thanks

    I think (I haven't read the book so I don't know) that the Scott Kelby quote may be applying to a different situation where the files do not already exist within Lightroom. In that circumstance Scott's method seems entirely sensible to me. In the situation you are in - files already present within Lr - it would be the wrong approach.
    Lr has the tools you need to move files around and rename files & folders, so there is no need to do this outside of Lightroom and, for all the reasons mentioned above, doing so would be a bad idea.
    There are many different options for file structures, but whichever one you choose it makes sense to migrate your existing files to that structure too. Personally as a wedding & portrait photographer I do maybe 100 shoots per year, rarely more than one per day. I don't favour the Bin method as it makes backups easy to create but difficult to locate when you need them. My file structure is Year then Shoot Name then Raw / JPEG / Client / Etc as appropriate. My shoot name is based on the shoot date in reverse, so I use YYMMDD. This number - YYMMDD - is also my job number and appears on all the client paperwork and in all the filenames related to that client. My Raw files are renamed on import by adding the shoot name to the file name, so I get 101223_DSC1234.NEF. My finished files are renamed with a sequence, ie 101223001.JPG, 101223.002.JPG. Other factors like client details (for a repeat client), location, type of shoot are dealt with in keywords. By using a logical structure like this my files are easily accessible using any software, and should I ever (perish the thought) move away from Lightroom then the structure will migrate easily.
    This is not necessarily the best structure for everyone, but it work for me. Whichever method you choose Lr will help you to migrate and manage your files well.

    Problem still works in safemode.
    Checked out that link... its not an extensions or theme issue. But went on to look into the plug-in issues... tried disabling them one at at time and problem was always there. By doing this have discovered the programme is using Shockwave flash 10.1.102.64 to work. As when you disable that plug-in it stops working altogether.
    So im figuring its a problem with that... ive tried re-installing it but its made no difference.

  • Dynamic Portal Content

    Dear All
    I am creataing a page on Portal will be used to display advertisements.
    Advertisments have many paragraphs. How can I manage the web content of such type on Portal.
    Using Webdynpro to fetch text from database is an expensive task.

    hi adnan,
    Web Content Management in the Enterprise Portal -
    The future of traditional Web Content Management (WCM) systems is uncertain. Businesses
    are increasingly implementing enterprise portal solutions that are primarily focused
    on application and business process integration. However, existing Web Content
    Management systems that concentrate on the creation, maintenance and provision of
    web-based content, for example for intranet operation, have become established in today’s
    enterprise. This development presents a new challenge for enterprise IT departments:
    These two very separate system worlds must be unified both in design and technology.
    Enterprise portals represent a direct advancement for intranets and dynamic websites,
    mainly due to the user-specific integration of applications and information in a single,
    unified user interface. In order to make a clear distinction, the terms “intranet” and “portal”
    should be defined:
    An intranet provides employees with information using static HTML pages and/or a Web
    Content Management System. Access to individual web-based applications from the
    intranet is made possible by simple links. Consequently, an intranet is designed mainly
    for the purpose of information distribution and is only marginally involved in process optimization.
    Since there is no logical connection between the applications, users are forced
    to log in separately to various applications with different user registration data. The required
    user names and passwords are usually not consistent throughout a company. Furthermore,
    roles are not part of intranet design and it is not possible to customize the
    user interface (“user customizing”).
    An enterprise portal is a complex integration infrastructure that consolidates application
    systems, services and information from a variety of different sources within an enterprise
    into a central, unified user interface (e.g. web browser) that is individually adapted for
    each employee and accessible from every desktop. Enterprise portal content is individually
    adapted for every employee or group; this is made possible by corresponding role
    concepts.
    Enterprise portals have opened a single point of entry for a variety of different business
    applications. So why not simply present the complex content required directly within the
    enterprise portal and completely replace existing extranet or intranet solutions? Most
    new generation portal software products neglect this concept. The Content Management
    they offer out of the box is rudimentary at best. Unfortunately, many IT decision makers
    are either partially or completely unaware of this shortcoming.
    On the other hand, there are highly sophisticated Web Content Management systems and
    products on the market – functionalities range from Internet building blocks for creating
    simple homepages to adequate workflow integration within the Information Lifecycle.
    Moreover, these systems include additional tools for generating navigational structures
    as well as editing and authoring tools for managing content on websites. Link management,
    approval workflows and access controls for designated areas of the web-based
    solution are practically taken for granted. A Web Content Management system delivers
    the technologies, tools and methods for creating, managing, storing, preserving and providing
    electronic content throughout the entire enterprise. This generally recognized defnition originates from AIIM International (Association for Information and Image Management
    International). Unlike document management, which can be described as a database-
    supported management system for electronic documents, Web Content Management
    encompasses web publishing, publishing intranet or internet pages and provides
    structured publication of web-based information.
    At first glance, deploying Web Content Management systems allows enterprises to unify
    web-based content and application-based information within a single enterprise portal,
    regardless of the format in which the information is available.
    Some WCM software manufacturers have already taken action and provide – specifically
    for the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal – comprehensive integration packages that integrate
    their high-performance Web Content Management systems in the portal software.
    But how do companies manage and supply the content to be published in an enterprise
    portal created on the basis of business-oriented portal software? At a time when users
    are already confronted with heterogeneous environments in their day-to-day work, every
    additional system is simply another burden. Integrating a high-performance, technologically
    advanced Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal is problematic
    because, to a great extent, both software solutions implement competing concepts and
    technologies which must be further explained.
    Both systems require their own server infrastructure and rely on their own, completely
    proprietary software architecture based on a separate database and/or data storage system.
    As a result, additional expenditure is incurred for all of the following aspects:
    · Parallel expenditure for hardware
    · Parallel expenditure for operation and monitoring
    · Parallel expenditure for backup & restore
    · Parallel expenditure for security design and implementations
    · Parallel expenditure for performance optimization
    · Parallel expenditure for administrator training
    From the perspective of an enterprise portal infrastructure, a Web Content Management
    system is a third-party system which must be integrated via interfaces. Thus, the following
    issues must be addressed:
    (1) Parallel existence of two navigational structures: a) navigational structures, pages
    and roles within the enterprise portal and b) menu items and storage structures
    within the external WCM system.
    (2) Editors are required to learn how to work with two different tools and user interfaces.
    (3) A search function must be developed that can be utilized for both systems; access
    rights for both systems must be given special attention here.
    (4) Parallel existence of two authorization concepts. Defining access rights in an enterprise
    portal is generally possible on the basis of users, groups, and portal roles in
    particular. Access rights management in a WCM system has its own administrator interfaces
    and authorization objects which need to be aligned.
    (5) Parallel workflow concepts: An enterprise portal has application-oriented workflow
    procedures that are usually based on the user administration integrated into the portal
    (users, roles and groups). A WCM system often uses its own staging concept for
    approving web pages based on its own workflow which exists parallel to the portal
    workflow.
    (6) Parallel user registration data management: Enterprise portals offer powerful features
    for user administration which must be used in addition to or in competition
    with the WCM system user administration. It makes sense to use a single LDAP interface
    for both systems. However, this does not solve the key problem: both systems
    have their own administration tools for user management.
    (7) Parallel security concepts: Enterprise portals offer very powerful security design concepts
    and functions; a WCM system has its own design concepts and these must also
    be managed and taken into consideration.
    (8) Some external WCM systems generate portal objects (e.g. menu items in portal
    roles) via interfaces. Changes to these generated objects are overwritten during
    each generation process making it impossible to use all of the functionality of the
    portal tools. Only the features that are generated and/or supported by the WCM system
    can be fully leveraged.
    (9) Parallel concepts for link management: There are different methods for creating and
    managing links in both software systems. A particular problem is posed by targets
    that affect the role-based navigational structure of the enterprise portal which generally
    cannot be conveniently selected as most editors would expect.
    (10) Parallel page creation and layout concepts (look & feel): Both systems have their
    own concept of performance-optimized page presentation. Similarly, both systems
    offer different methods and tools for editing the “look & feel” of the pages.
    Taking the above issues into consideration, serious thought should be given to integrating
    an external Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal. From a longterm
    perspective and when taking the Total Cost of Ownership into consideration, operating
    two IT systems as complex as these parallel to one another is impractical, even if the
    WCM system manufacturers offer portal-specific integration packages for their software.
    A closer look at these packages shows that many of the interface problems and design
    redundancies detailed above will nevertheless continue to persist.
    From the author’s perspective, every project involving Web Content Management in enterprise
    portals should question whether or not the desired editing processes and WCM
    requirements could be served with the standard features of the enterprise portal or covered
    by an expansion package or implementation and project work. This solution path is
    further explained in the following practical example.
    Practical example: Web Content Management in the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal
    With its SAP NetWeaver™ Portal, SAP not only provides the basis for a successful
    backend system for business process optimization, but also delivers basic Web Content
    Management functionalities. In order to structure the content, the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal
    utilizes a central tool - the Portal Content Studio.
    The Portal Content Studio offers a central environment for developing and managing all
    types of portal content, such as portlets (iViews), pages, layouts, worksets, roles, and
    packages.
    Figure 1: Portal Content Studio for the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal (source: btexx Portal)
    The most important object in the Portal Content Catalog is the role, which serves two
    purposes: First of all, the role is assigned to users or user groups, achieving the typical
    personalization required of an enterprise portal, secondly, the role in the SAP portal defines
    the menu structure that is linked to the role at the same time.
    A role can be implemented as a hierarchical tree structure with an infinite number of
    nested objects. The tree structure is formed by creating folders. Pages or iViews can be
    positioned at any level within the hierarchy. There are different types of iViews; typical
    examples of iViews are R/3 transactions, eBusiness applications, Internet/intranet applications,
    or content-based iViews (HTML content, text, graphics). iViews are typically positioned
    and arranged on pages but they can also be independently built into roles.
    Within a role, so-called Entry Points must be defined which are then included as a menu
    item in both of the top navigation bars of the portal menu. The portal menu is generally
    comprised of multiple roles (with corresponding Entry Points). However, the order of the
    menu items can be defined (using the Attribute Priority).
    Additionally, SAP provides an Internet platform that offers a selection of ready-to-use
    portal contents in a general catalog that can be imported into the Portal Content Studio.
    SAP calls these out-of- the-box solutions SAP Business Packages. Partners and other
    software manufacturers are able to provide solutions and/or interfaces based on this
    platform and have them certified by SAP (SAP offers a certification program especially
    designed for these solutions). The iView list for the so-called Portal Content Portfolio
    (formally iView Studio) includes thousands of iViews.
    The SAP Portal Content Portfolio can be accessed here:

    In many aspects, the tools and capabilities of the Portal Content Studio are comprehensive
    and advanced yet they are not sufficient for comprehensive Web Content Management.
    First and foremost, the Portal Content Studio supports the establishment of rolebased
    navigational structures and the definition of portal pages on which iViews can be
    positioned and arranged. This method of content creation is comparatively complex and
    not suited for the daily business of an editor, who is typically less involved in changing
    content structures and more involved in changing the content elements contained therein
    (text, graphics, flash files, links, documents, etc.). Pragmatic methods and simple
    mechanisms are desired for the management of this content. The material in the content-
    based iViews must be freely definable through simple and intuitive means and editors
    should be able to create content themselves.
    The SAP Knowledge Management (KM) component is available for storing content and
    documents in SAP NetWeaver™. The content to be presented can be stored and managed
    via a folder structure that must be managed parallel to the Portal Content Directory.
    However, in the standard feature set of the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal, the KM folder where
    this content is later to be saved must be defined for every content-based KM iView. An
    automatic link between the current role position and the KM location is not created. Simple
    shifting between read and edit mode is another feature that is not available in the
    standard version despite the fact that this functionality is extremely important for editors.
    Despite the multitude of existing functions, the standard SAP NetWeaver™ Portal offers
    insufficient capabilities for comfortable Web Content Management. Editing capabilities for
    XML forms, so-called docs iViews, URL-iViews or TREX searches are offered but their use
    is anything but intuitive and involves a great deal of administrative expenditure. This
    makes a high level of knowledge in building web content within the SAP NetWeaver™
    Portal a prerequisite. Above all, there are little or no possibilities for using Web Content
    Management functionality such as the construction of generic content structures, link
    management, multi-language support or a navigational context available from the search
    results without the relevant programming or HTML knowledge.
    This is where an enhancement from btexx business technologies GmbH, the Business
    Package easyWCM for Web Content Management in SAP NetWeaver™ Portal comes in. It
    uses the Portal Content Studio as a central tool yet significantly accelerates editing processes.
    It allows content elements to be linked effectively with portal objects that are created
    automatically through the use of easyWCM iViews. Every authorized user can create,
    publish and edit information.
    This Business Package automatically stores the content elements in the KM component
    assigned in the navigation structure in the background and makes them available for further
    editing on portal pages, greatly simplifying subsequent content management work.
    This is why the editor no longer requires technical knowledge of where the content is
    stored in the KM. Thanks to easyWCM, both the editor and the end-user work with the
    same portal role and costly multiple management of the navigation and content storage
    structure is unnecessary. Using the “Inplace Editing” feature, the editor is able to edit
    content directly on the portal pages on which the content is presented and visualized.
    The Business Package is based 100% on the SAP NetWeaver™ Portal and Knowledge
    Management Components; no third-party servers or additional software products are required.
    The portal server is solely responsible for providing the runtime platform.
    A third-party Content Management System may be able to offer a larger selection of features
    than easyWCM but it implementing and operating the additional solution will require
    a great deal more resources. The easyWCM Business Package for the SAP Net-
    Weaver™ Portal provides Web Content Management simply and effectively while supporting
    the following essential requirements:
    Complete integration for SAP Portal Content Studio
    An editor does not need any tools other than the SAP Portal Content Studio. The desired
    navigational structures are provided as SAP portal roles in the SAP Portal Content Studio
    - the application of easyWCM iViews is thereby possible anywhere within portal roles,
    worksets and pages. The main advantage of this solution is that the editors enter content
    in a single environment in which all web content and navigational structures are stored
    and administered.
    Inplace editing:
    End-users and editors work with the same portal roles. Therefore, no separate portal
    roles for providing and maintaining the content are required! As an editor, easyWCM
    iView offers you the ability to add and work on content components directly within the
    portal (Inplace Editing). Furthermore, the editor is able to use SAP KM standard functions
    (e.g. authorization assignment, workflow, feedback, rating, etc.) directly within the content
    component.
    Automatic creation of KM folders
    A general standard is that everyone must indicate the respective KM file path in which
    the content components are to be stored. This requires a great deal of effort when maintaining
    portals with a large number of web content elements. easyWCM automatically
    produces the necessary listings with the desired KM authorizations at runtime and simultaneously
    activates the desired KM services (life span, manual arrangement, history,
    workflow). During shifting or copying processes in the SAP Portal Content Studio, the
    elements are automatically moved and copied within the KM!
    Preview functionality from Portal Content Studio
    A preview function for each form is easily accessible with a single click. It is also possible
    to preview items directly from the Portal Content Studio in order to view the complete
    portal page, for example. easyWCM iViews were designed in a way that also enables users
    to enter and edit content directly from the SAP Portal Content Studio preview function.
    Multiple use of content elements
    easyWCM iViews may be adjusted in such a way as to allow content to be used more
    than once. Using this option, the content is not stored by the role and/or page, but is
    linked centrally within the easyWCM iView. The multiple use of content components is
    important, for example, if the right column of the portal presentation is exactly the same
    for several pages (e.g. for contact data, partners, advertisements, etc.).
    Approval workflow
    If desired, the SAP KM approval workflow may be activated in order to manage content
    elements. Changes to content elements will only be visible after the approval. All XML
    forms provided by easyWCM support the SAP KM approval workflow and indicate the
    permission status by using traffic lights.
    Version management
    If desired, the SAP KM version management may be activated in order to manage content
    elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on
    which version management should be activated. When version management is activated,
    it is possible to replace older content components or to cancel incorrect modifications.
    With each change, a new version is automatically stored and documented including the
    date and the person who made the change.
    Life span
    If desired, the SAP KM life span function may be activated in order to manage content
    elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on which
    the life span function should be activated. Activating the life span function makes it possible
    to publish a content component for a specific period (this is useful for news or
    events, for example).
    Authorization-based search functionality
    The SAP NetWeaver™ standard component TREX is used for the search function. One of
    the key advantages of easyWCM compared to external WCM solutions is that the search
    is implemented completely on the basis of the SAP NetWeaver™ platform and, in particular,
    that it is dependent on the authorization status. A separate search machine with its
    own user and authorization administration is not required.
    Multi-language support
    easyWCM automatically detects the language of the editor and stores the content in
    separate folders. Folders for content in different languages are created based on the active
    portal language.
    Ready-to-use forms and pages
    easyWCM contains a set of immediately useable portal roles and pages which may be
    used for your desired menu structures and page layouts. As such, easyWCM provides the
    ability to create and maintain Internet pages without special HTML programming knowledge.
    easyWCM also contains more than 30 XML forms based on the XML forms builder
    (SAP standard) which can be used for content creation. These XML forms may also be
    custom designed to fit your needs.
    Personalized user interface
    easyWCM determines the user interface depending on portal authorizations of the
    user/editor and the corresponding authorizations of the respective KM folders. The
    easyWCM package contains different KM layout sets which may be activated via customization,
    if desired. Working on content is simple; an editor with the appropriate KM writepermissions
