Question about Microsoft Office integration.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm a new user in the SAP portal & KM and I'm wondered about the complexity when I publish a document in KM. In Microsoft Sharepoint is very easy, just publish the document from Office.

Is there any way to do the same in SAP KM ? From Word, for example...

Regards,

Hi,

I don't see any complexity in displaying the KM docs in portal.

It is as simple as uploading the docs using WEBDAV and can use that path in your KM iview.

Hi,

for connecting Windows to SAP KM you can use WebDAV and the Portal Drive. With the Portal Drive, the KM access is transparent for the user, it will be as if he is acessing a network share.

If you're looking for some SharePoint like features inside Office like: Online Useres, Check-In/Out, Create Tasks, etc. this isn't possible. The SharePoint protocol was until recently closed to Microsoft alone. For a more closly tight integration of SAP and Microsoft you can take a look into Duet. But this is for more than just publishing Office documents.
