you can use the How-To Guide <a href="https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002216892003E/WebRepEn.pdf">How to set up a Web Repository and Crawling it for Indexing</a> as there should be no big changes to NW'04 SPS14.
Thanks first of all.I followed that particular document. Although there are no major changes, the menus are completely different as discussed in that document which is given for EP6 sp0. when i intend to select the data source i could not see the website in the web repository. The web repository is not even opening.
Is there any relevant document to the latest version?
unfortunately there in now updated How-To Guide yet released. I would suggest to follow the mentioned guide and the detailed information given in SAP Help for <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/030fc5b63f11d5993900508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Web Repository Manager</a> or <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ba/fa7d404d84cf62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Simple Web Repository Manager</a>.
If you can not get it to work using those information sources and other SDN threads, you can specify here your created configuration objects and maybe available errors from KM Component Monitor or default.trc
I configured web repository manager for a particular website. But still i am not able to open the site from the repository as the link is not listed at all.
as mentioned above, please check for any errors under System Administration -> Monitoring -> Knowledge Management -> Component Monitor, as well as in the default.trc (from the Log Viewer inside the Visual Administrator).
You can also give a description of the made configuration steps.
"I guess portal urls can also be brought in to web repository like any other website. Am i right? If not what is the other step i have to follow?" - Are you trying to enter a portal url as your webrepository or what are you saying?
Ithe web repository works correctly, you should be able to click on the link in the repository and see/navigate the page, you have entered as webrepository.
Are there any errors in System Administration > Monitoring > Component Monitor > Repository Managers?
Yes, it's possible to create a web repository manager based on another portal URL. But, you have to take care that the web repository is able to map http links to resources in the local portal.
What does this mean? If your server url is http://webserver/a and the web repository sits at portal resource /web1/site1. Then the portal resource /web1/site1/x is the http link http://webserver/a/x. The portal reosurce /web1/site1/x/y/z is the http link http://webserver/a/x/y/z and so on.
So, for you, it's important that the server url in the landscape system configuration is http://<YOUR_PORTAL_SERVER>/ and you have specified /irj/portal/login?j_user=**&j_password=**&login_submit=true as "Start Page" in your web site.
I'm trying to configure a Web Repository that requires authentication. The documentation is a little "light" on examples.
You've mentioned in this thread that you add the logon parameters as the start page, how does this factor in with the user and password specified at the HTTP System level?
Also, I saw some mention of using User Mapping for an external system, is it necessary to create a "System" outside of the KM configuration?
Here are the steps I've followed. Could you or someone provide some examples for an HTTP System and Web Site for a web site that requires authentication?
1. Create the HTTP System.
2. Create Web Site in KM specifying the correct HTTP System
3. Create a Web Repository specifying the correct Web Site.
4. Created an index and included the Web Repository as the Data Source.
In the crawler monitor I see that it crawled my Web Repository but it only takes a millisecond and doesn't actually get past the logon screen. There are no errors however.
