Static Web Sites in HOPEX SAP Blueprint
HOPEX offers the possibility of generating static web sites of the SolMan project. This allows you to distribute the content of projects to enable people without access to HOPEX to consult the objects of a project.
The generated web site is based on a web site template.
Web sites can be generated in
HOPEX Windows Front-End only.
Creating a Web Site
This feature is not available in
HOPEX Web Front-End.
To create a web site of a SolMan project:
1. In the HOPEX desktop, select the Documentation navigation window.
(Windows Front-End) If the Documentation navigation window is not visible in the workspace, in the
HOPEX menu bar select
View > Navigation Windows > Documentation.
2. In the tree, right-click the "Web Sites" folder and select New > Web Site.
The Create Web Site dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name of the Web site to be created.
4. Select a folder for generation by clicking the
button.
By default, the Web site is generated in the "Intranet" folder. You are advised to create a sub-folder for each generated Web site, for example by creating folders with the same name as your Web site in the "Intranet" folder.
The content of the "Intranet" folder is deleted at each generation so when you have obtained a site with which you are satisfied and want to keep, copy it to another folder.
5. In the
From Web site template list box, click the
button.
6. Select the "Enterprise Portal" Web site template and click Finish.
The new web site appears in the Documentation navigation window in the Web Sites folder.
The new Web site has been created but not generated.
Before generating the Web site, you have the option of restricting the type of objects to be included in the Web site. For example, you can decide to only generate a project. If not, the Web site generation will include the entire repository and the generation time will be lengthy.
Generating a Static Web Site
To generate the static Web site:
1. In the Documentation navigation window, right-click the new web site.
2. In the pop-up menu that appears, click Generate.
A dialog box indicates the progress of the generation. When the web site has been generated, a dialog box proposes opening the web site.
You can open the generated Web site at any time from the
Documentation navigation window. In the
Web Sites folder, right-click the Web site and in its pop-up menu select
Open.
Accessing the Web Site
To access SolMan project information:
From the generated Web site click the SolMan tab.
The generated Web Site presents a view of the objects in the repository at the time of the generation. Objects cannot be modified in the Web site. You can however regenerate the Web Site at any time to include modifications made to objects in MEGA repository.
To navigate the Web site:
Click on the links of each object which gives access to the corresponding pages.
To return to the page previously consulted:
Use the
Back button in the main menu.
