I needed to do some minimal proving today that iView web parts can work in my client’s environment. I’ve never worked with this slice of SharePoint before.

Microsoft има создадено многу висок квалитет на бела хартија на оваа тема.

Првата пречка Морав да ги надминам беше - каде е веб iView дел? Поради некоја причина, my first thought was that I’d have to download it from a site somewhere, perhaps SAP’s site. Морав 1/2 convinced myself that iView web parts might even cost extra. Се разбира, they are included with MOSS (I think Enterprise; that’s what I’m using here in any event). I’ve seen the standard “add a web part” dialog box hundreds or more times and always glossed over it. No more!

The next obstacle is that I can’t read instructions.

I was using the web part and kept getting this annoying message:

No SAP servers are configured for this site. Contact your administrator to configure trusted SAP servers.

The white paper clearly says to edit a configuration file located at file “<Drive Letter:>\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Config\TrustedSAPHosts.config”. The first dozen times I looked at that, all I saw was “Program Files\…\Config” and I went straight away to the 12 кошница. Once I finally slowed down to read it, I realized my mistake and it was easy to fix.

I continued on my merry way with SSO configuration. It’s not all at clear to me if that worked, but that’s another story for another day.

Крајна линија:

1. iView web parts are included out of the box with SharePoint (probably Enterprise).

2. The magic configuration file, “TrustedSAPHosts.config”, does not live in the 12 кошница.
