Use
In this Customizing activity, you execute the WWI setup for generation servers on your generation PC and then make additional settings. See Notes on Configuration of Generation PCs.
If you have processed this Customizing activity and the Customizing activity Set Up RFC Destination, you can configure generation servers (WWI servers) as Microsoft Windows services or as console programs.
In contrast to the console program, no user needs to be logged on to the generation PC for Microsoft Windows services in order to execute the Microsoft Windows service, which means, for example, that a service can be started automatically as a background process when the system is started up.
The following options are available for setting up the generation servers (see the IMG section Configuration of Generation Servers).
- As a Microsoft Windows service using EH&S service administration.
This option is available when the system is running (for more information, see SAP Library for the Basic Data and Tools component, under Tools -> EH&S Service Administration).
- As a Microsoft Windows service using Customizing and Windows operating system resources.
- As a console program using Customizing and Windows operating system resources.
Notes:
- We recommend that you use EH&S service administration. When you configure manually via Customizing, you have to take the transport logistics of your system landscape and the combination of client-specific and cross-client Customizing into account.
- You should configure the generation PC independently of the WWI file server (see the section WWI File Server Installation under Set Up WWI).
Requirements
- The following prerequisites must be fulfilled on your generation PC:
- You have installed a supported version of Microsoft Windows. For more information about supported versions, see SAP Note 568302.
- You have installed a supported version of Microsoft Word. For more information about supported versions, see SAP Note 568302.
- You have executed the Customizing activity Set Up RFC Destination.
Notes:
- The setup creates a new WWI.INI file on the generation PC under the WWI installation directory (for example, C:\WWI). If you want to continue to use the settings in your old WWI.INI file, save the old file first under a different name and then compare it with the new WWI.INI file.
- We recommend that you carry out the installation with administrator rights.
- If you use Microsoft Word 2003 and you want to operate the generation servers later with another Windows user, make one of the following settings:
- Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security and then choose the macro security level Low on the Security Level tab.
- Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security and then choose the macro security level Medium or High on the Security Level tab, select the Trust all installed add-ins and templates checkbox on the Trusted Sources tab, and make sure that the settings for user templates or workgroup templates under Tools -> Options -> File Locations refer to the directory in which the WWI.DOT file can be found. The installation configures the latter automatically after confirmation, but only for the user under which the installation was executed.
- Instead of changing the Microsoft Word settings for user or workgroup templates, you can also copy the WWI.DOT, WWIDISPL.DOT, and WWILAYT.DOT files manually to one of the preset template directories. Make sure that you update or delete any file versions in the template directories that originate from earlier installations.
- If you use Microsoft 2007 or later, you do not need to configure any additional settings. WWI configures the settings for the trusted storage locations automatically in this case.
Activities
Execute WWI Setup
You will find the WWISETUP.EXE installation program for the WWI generation server on the current SAP Server Components CD. Execute the program and follow the instructions given for installation as a generation server.
If you have installed WWI successfully, a WWI directory, for example C:\WWI, appears on your PC. This directory contains all relevant subdirectories and files.
Notes:
- The WWIRFCSV.EXE program takes over communication between the SAP system and the generation server as the console program.
- The WWISVC.EXE program takes over communication between the SAP system and the generation server as the Windows service.
- If you install the EH&S administration management server during the WWI setup, you will be asked to configure the following additional settings:
- RFC destination for the EH&S administration management server
- Default root directory for WWI generations
- User name and password for creating WWI services
Check Security Settings for Microsoft Word
Execute this activity using the Windows user under which the generation server is to be used in future.
If you are using Microsoft Word 2003 and you do not want to set the macro security level to Low, execute the following checks:
- Open Microsoft Word.
- Choose Tools -> Macro -> Security.
- Check whether the macro security level is set to Medium or High on the Security Level tab.
- Check whether the Trust all installed add-ins and templates checkbox is selected on the Trusted Sources tab.
- Choose Tools -> Options -> File Locations.
Check whether the user templates or workgroup templates refer to the directory in which the WWI.DOT file is stored.
If you use Microsoft 2007 or later, you do not need to configure any additional settings. WWI configures the settings for the trusted storage locations automatically in this case.
Set Up Default Printer in Microsoft Word
- Execute this step using the Windows user under which the generation server is to be used in future.
- Set up the default printer in Microsoft Word under File -> Print that contains a printer driver that matches the output device you intend to use (for example, PCL, Postscript).
- Note: If you use Postscript, make sure that the printer driver generates standard Postscript files without requiring additional control commands.
Set Up Printers for Different Output Formats
You can set up a separate printer for each output format so that, for example, PCL and Postscript can be generated on the same generation server. If you do not configure any settings, the default printer for Microsoft Windows of the WWI user is used.
Set up the WWI.INI file on the generation PC under the WWI installation directory (for example, C:\WWI) as follows, for example:
[Printers]
- PS=[name of an installed Postscript printer]
- PCL=[name of an installed PCL printer]
The output formats that you can enter in WWI.INI correspond to the output formats that you can define for each communication type in Customizing for Product Safety in the Customizing activity Specify Communication. The formats DOC, RTF, ASC, ANY, and HTM are predefined in the standard system and cannot be entered in WWI.INI.
Set Up User Exits for Different Output Formats
You can set up a macro user exit for certain output formats that handles conversion to the target format itself. The current printer at the time the macro is called is the printer set for the format under [Printers]. In the WWI.INI file on the generation PC, under the WWI installation directory (for example, z.B. C:\WWI), configure a macro user exit for the PDF format, for example, as follows:
[PrintUserExits]
PDF=C:\WWI\wwiMkPDF;wwiEConvertToPDF
First, you must specify the name of a Word document template that contains the macro. If you do not specify a complete path, the file is expected to be in the same directory as the WWI.DOT. The name of the macro follows, separated by a semicolon.
Set Up Save Format for Output Format ANY
If you use the source document format ANY in the Customizing activity Specify Communication, you can define the Word file format in which the document is to be saved in the WWI.INI file on the generation PC under the WWI installation directory (for example, C:\WWI) as follows:
[Format]
DocTypeAny=n
n corresponds to the internal value of the FileFormat parameter of the Word macro command ActiveDocument.SaveAs:
Value Description
0 wdFormatDocument
4 wdFormatDOSText
5 wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks
6 wdFormatRTF
1 wdFormatTemplate
2 wdFormatText
3 wdFormatTextLineBreaks
