HI ,

Can any one  would help to find the SAP help documents download link.

Hi Dilan,

help.sap.com is the central point for any SAP help. Whatever you need, search for it and book mark that. I do it this way. It really helps.

Hi

Can you configure your system to first look for the documentation on a server (hard coded) and if it doesnt find a link go to the internet configuration - help.sap.com? How do you set this up?

Thank you

I´m trying follow this steps but when clicked on Help->SAP Library received the error message:

' Can´t find "serverhostname\share\EN\e18e5134\1a06084d\e100000000\9b38f83b\frameset.chm"

PS: i did unzip media 50107487 and copy subdir HTLMHELP\EN to <server>\<share> and followed steps (SR13, add new entries. etc)

[Former Member]

you need to go in SR13 and givethe entry under the tab PlainHTMLHTTP

saphelp WN32 IWBHELP http://help.sap.com <location where the help is kept> EN check the default box also.

Thanks
