News in portal

[former_member211905]

Hi,

In our company portal (EP6.0) we have a news page displaying news from every company division. What we also want is news pages extracting news relevant to specific divisions, for instance a separate news page for the IT-division with news items from all other divisions sorted out. But, IT news must still be shown at the common news page.

Is there a way to achieve this without having to create duplicates of the same news item in different folders?

Best Regards

Hello Jørn,

are you currently using KM in Portal for this news site?. Check out query based taxonomies in KM, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6c/5145b1d1de11d6b2cc00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm. By setting properties on the news beeing posted (e.g IT, ALL, Finance). Different divisions can their relevant news (division news + company news).

Okey, I've taken a glance at the helpdoc, but do I have to set up a Trex service first (to create indexes) to be able to use query based taxonomies? That seems a bit overkill to me...

Best regards

Hello Jørn,

there should be an easier solution as well if you do not want the full functionality.

You can create a KM folder e.g NEWS A, where you add news for division A (e.g a html file or XML forms news), you update this to contain the relevant news. E.g a flat file.

You can then make a KM iview called e.g News A which points to the KM folder NEWS A.

This will not be as smooth as using classification (e.g lack cross publishing), but will not require Trex and building properties and classifications structures.

Regards,

Jørgen

Thanks, that may answer my question. But I think this will not be the solution here because it requires too many maintenance points related to cross publishing.

Classification seems to be the best solution, but as I have understood, a Trex service is a prerequisite to achieve such a functionality.

Do you know if it requires a lot of time to set up and configure Trex for this purpose, or is it a relatively easy manoeuvre?

Hello Jørn,

to give you a boring answer, it depends.

It should not be a huge job if you know it, and the complexity is not to large. I would say 5 days or so for a simple pilot in sandbox, innstallation of trex, creating properties, XML forms, classification.

For a complete set up in DEV, QA, PROD it is impossible to estimate without knowing the case.

You should think about getting a consultant firm to help you estimate.

BTW: please assign points if you are happy with answer
