This section describes how to integrate content into the Help menu of your SAP NetWeaver Portal. The portal administrator or basis administrator will need to perform these steps.

 

Because of the highly configurable nature of the SAP NetWeaver Portal, the steps that you must perform may be different than the steps presented here. These instructions assume the portal default framework is in use. If another framework is in use, or if the default framework has been substantially modified, these instructions may not work.

 

To display this content in a context-sensitive manner:

  1. Copy content gateway files to a web server in the same DNS domain as the portal. If the content server is in the same domain as the portal, it is not necessary to copy the gateway files (see Domain Relaxing.)
     
  2. Configure the gateway files to point to the content server.
     
  3. Configure the portal Help link to use the gateway files.

Copy Content Gateway Files 

In your published content there is a front\hemi folder that contains the content gateway and configuration files. The contents of this folder must be placed at a location that meets the following requirements:

For example, if the URL to access your portal is


http://netweaverportal.mycompany.com:50000/irj/portal


then the location where you place the gateway and configuration files may be something like:


http://help.myco.com:50000/gateway/hemi/

 

If the content is published to a server in the same domain as the portal, it is not necessary to copy the gateway files to another location.

 

Domain Relaxing 

Domain relaxing is a method of enabling web-based scripting between components that the web browser would normally prevent due to cross-domain scripting security concerns. In some cases, however, this scripting enables desired functionality. Domain relaxing is designed to allow cross-domain scripting between components served from similar root domains (for example, server1.co.com and server2.co.com). Help Menu Integration for SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal uses the same domain relaxing technique that SAP uses. Additional documentation can be found at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/28/7c383f717b5f03e10000000a114084/content.htm

 

Configure the Portal Help Link 

The final task in setting up integrated context-sensitive Help for your SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal is to configure the portal's Help link.

 

A user with Administration rights can perform the following steps:

  1. Log into the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal.
     
  2. Click the Content Administration tab.
     
  3. In the Portal Content area, expand the Portal Content tree item.
     
  4. Open the Portal Users folder.
     
  5. Open the Standard Portal Users folder.
     
  6. Double-click the Default Frameworks Page to open it.
     
  7. Select the checkbox for the Masthead iView Page Content item.
     
  8. Click the Edit button.
     
  9. In the Property Category drop-down list select Navigation.
     
  10. In the URL of Help Link field, enter the URL of the sapwdp_gateway.html file. For example, the URL you enter may look similar to:
     
    http://help.myco.com:50000/front/hemi/sapwdp_gateway.html.
     
  11. Save your changes.
