Hi,

One way of doing work around is Create a KM repository in portal as portal root folder.

Then it is easy using to access the content using KM API's.

It may not be a good practice.

What do you mean by the installation directory? Which folder do you want to find? Do you want this for a specific operating system? If you use Java to do a directory of "\usr\sap" on Windows you will find your systems and then you can find your instances etc...

File dir = new File("\\usr\\sap");
String[] files = dir.list();

Hello,

I use System - properties to solve this, e.g.

String pathString = System.getProperty("statusicons.mimes.name");

returns

file://usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NODE>/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/portalapps/com.sap.portal.htmlb/mimes/mimesinfo.xml

I use substring() - calls on it.

There are more System - properties Strings containing the path, that may be used.

Hope it helps
