Collaboration
Purpose
With the collaboration capabilities, SAP NetWeaver allows communication and collaboration in
the portal. This allows SAP NetWeaver to bring together members of project groups regardlessof time and of their geographic location. Users can use virtual rooms for common access and
organization of documents, applications, and ideas.
Integration
Like the Portal, Knowledge Management, and Guided Procedures, Collaboration is part of the
SAP NetWeaver usage type EP (Enterprise Portal). Applications in other SAP NetWeaver usage
types, for example, BI (Business Intelligence) can be linked to Collaboration.
The entire functional scope and configuration of the Collaboration capabilities are available inportal iViews.
The graphic below depicts the positioning of the Collaboration capabilities in the SAPNetWeavercontext and provides an overview of the Collaboration functions.

Administration Guide
Purpose
The Collaboration administration guide explains the activities that administrators of the SAPNetWeaverCollaborationcapabilities may have to perform.
Integration
As part of the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal (EP) usage type, Collaboration is closely linked
to the Portal and Knowledge Management. The portal allows users personalized access to
company-specific information and services for collaboration. Knowledge Management allowsaccess to information services. In addition, users can access applications in other usage types, for
example, BI, in virtual rooms.
The graphic below contains an overview of the Collaborationfunctions and shows theirintegration with the Portal and Knowledge Management.
Features
The following functions are relevant for administration of Collaboration:

Services By working through the configuration formaking
services available, you determine whichcollaboration
servicesare available to the portal users. You can makecollaboration services available as follows:
In the Collaboration menu of the Collaboration
Launch Pad (CLP) and the room member list
On the user interface of the User Details iView
In the context menu for the users or user groupsdisplayed
Virtual Rooms Aroomis a virtual working environment in the portal. Ina room, the members of a team or project group can
collaborate and access shared applications and
information.
As the administrator, you configure the templates for
rooms and manage existing rooms.
Groupware Integration TheGroupware frameworkprovides the technicalprerequisites for integrating third-party groupware
applications for e-mail and scheduling. This allows you to
integrate the groupware used in your company, forexample, Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino, in the
portal.
Asynchronous Functions Asynchronousfunctions allow asynchronous cooperation
with other users. You can use discussions and manage
tasks, attachments to tasks, and documents.
Users can also use Knowledge Management functions
such as discussion groups,feedback, ratings, and
comments for asynchronous collaboration.
Integration of Services ForSynchronous Collaboration
TheSynchronous Collaboration Framework(SCF)provides the technical prerequisites for the integration of
synchronous collaboration services, for example, WebEx
online sessions.
Services for Real-TimeCollaboration
SAP deliversReal-Time Collaborationas a standardservice for real-time collaboration. This service allows
interactive online sessions (application sharing) andinstant messaging (instant messaging).

Making Services Available
Purpose
As an administrator, you make services available to the portal users, so that they can work together inthe portal. Within the Collaboration component, the system provides users with services in the following
iViews:
Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP)
Member List in Room
User Details
Other iViews that display users or user groups and for which the context menu with servicesfor collaboration has been activated.
Process Flow
1. Copy the relevant configuration objects (seeMaking Services Available: Standard
Configuration) to your own namespace. Note the following information:
LinkCommand(optional, only in the case of any changes)A link command is the command to launch a service through the corresponding link. If you do
not change the delivered link commands, SAP recommends keeping these in the SAP
namespace. Command groups (required)
Copy all command groups delivered to your own namespace.
During every SAP NetWeaver update, the system overwrites all link commands and command
groups in the SAP namespace.
2. Decide on the scope of the collaboration services that you want to make available in the iViews
(seeiViews with Collaboration Services).
Decide which services you want to make available in the CLP Collaboration menu and themember list. In the standard system, the same configuration is used for these two iViews.

7/15
If you require different services in the member list to those in the CLP, you can create a separate
services configuration for the member list. For more information, see point three, configuration
of services.
Decide which services you want to make available throughout the portal in the contextmenu for displayed users or user groups.
Decide which services are particularly important in the User Details iView and shouldappear directly on the user interface.
Check whether individual services must be limited to particular portal roles. Create theportal roles necessary for this.
To allow only certain users in your company to create rooms from within the CLP, you assignboth the relevant users and the services for creating rooms to the Collaboration portal role.
A service that is not limited to a particular portal role is available to all portal users.
3. Run theconfiguration for making services available.

iViews with Collaboration Services
Definition
iViews with services are specific iViews in the Knowledge Management and Collaboration componentsthat contain services for collaboration between portal users, for example, sending e-mails, exchanging
instant messages, managing tasks, and so on.
Use
As an administrator, you can configure which collaboration services are available in each iView.
Overview
The graphic below shows examples of iViews in which services for collaboration between portal users
are provided.

Collaboration Launch Pad(CLP)
The Collaboration Launch Pad provides services that
every portal user can launch for communicating or
collaborating with his or hercontacts (individual users,user groups, or room members). In the CLP, these
services are provided through the Collaboration menu.
In the standard system, all available services are
available in the CLP. These services are grouped into
the following areas: groupware, synchronous andasynchronous collaboration, and workflow.
Member List in Room The Room Member List provides every member of a
room with services for communicating and
collaborating with the other room members. Themembers are sorted by their room roles. As in the CLP,
these services are provided through the Collaborationmenu.
The same configuration is used as for the CLP.
However, you can make other services available for themember list, if required.
User Details The User Details iView provides every user with
services for communicating and collaborating with the
user, whose details are displayed, in two ways:
Services in the context menu of the user name.
As in the CLP, you can also group these services.
Services on the user interface of the iView.These services are provided as a group of links in the
iView. Therefore, you cannot group these services.During configuration, you must directly assign the
services to the object (command group) that
corresponds to the set of services provided (type).
Other iViews (in
Collaboration and Knowledge
Management)
Applications in the Collaboration andKnowledge
Managementcomponents can activate the context
menu (for example, the User Details and Whos WhoiViews).
Through the context menu for the user name, you canlaunch services for collaborating with the user or usergroup.
You can group these services as in the CLP.

Command groupsThese are assigned to the types. They group all services (link commands) and subordinate groups
of services that the type provides.
Link commandsEach link command provides the link to launch a service.

You can assign the following configuration objects to userType:
leftclick_command: peopleDetailsLinkThe command allows the user to launch the User Details iView by
clicking the user name.
In the User Details iView that is launched, this command is notactive, because launching the User Details iView again makes no
sense.
contextmenu_commandgroup: userGroupThis corresponds to the context menu for the user name in the User
Details iView. You can structure the context menu in the same way
as the Collaboration menu on the CLP.
Link Commands
The SAP standard system contains two types of Link Commands for making services available.Each link command type is identified by a separate Java class and has a specific purpose:
