What is a Repository Manager (RM)
n RM is a Connector between an “Information Source” and the Repository Framework (RF) within Knowledge Management (KM) Platform.
n RM is responsible for converting the repository’s internal representation of stored information into the unified aspects of the RF and vice versa.
n RM stores items and their properties with external repositories to enable the Knowledge Management capabilities to integrate information of all kinds of sources.
n RM enables the access to all repository services under the KM platform (i.e. subscription, discussion, collaboration, search & indexing)
SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 10
Various repositories do exist !File servers, web servers .....
Motivation of BW Repository Managers
Integrationn Seamless Integration of BW metadata and documents with Enterprise Portal 6.0 and KM
n Enable the access of all SAP BW metadata, master data, queries, web templates and transactional documents in Enterprise Portal 6.0
n Leverage SAP NetWeaverKnowledge Management Services such as subscription, feedback, discussion, collaboration, rating, search & Indexing
n Enable BEx Information Broadcasting to add links to online queries or Web applications to the BEx Portfolio for EP integration

l ...a support for automatic Information Structuring
l ...able to automatically classify documents into taxonomies
l ...able to index multiple Languages and Repositories
l ...able to integrate internal and external Information

Permissions for Indexes
The administrator can set permissions for each index (read or write). The set of indexes that is used in quick search and the indexes that appear in the advanced search dialog depends on the users permissions for that index.
Example: A content manager has setup a certain area where he stores documents for managers. He creates an index for that area and gives only the managers read access for that index. Managers will see the index, and it will be search if the do a quick search in the portal. All other users will not see the index.
