Working with the Manager
The SAP Workforce Performance Builder Manager is a server-based productive environment to support groups of authors, in which the learning units are collected and managed centrally. Amongst other benefits, this allows uniform resources to be made available to all authors and projects to be set up centrally and to be assigned to the respective authors for recording. In addition, the projects can be recorded in the Instant Producer and made available centrally for further editing in the Producer.

The option
Get resources from server,
which is found in the settings dialog box, allows you to manually update the local resources of a workarea with the resources from the Manager, After selecting this option, the resources will be automatically updated.

7.1 Setting up a Connection
To set up a connection to the Manager, you can start a file named

from its workarea screen. This file contains all the necessary settings for establishing a connection.
To do this you need to be able to access the Manager. If this is not the case, contact your administrator.
The procedure to establish a connection to the Manager is as follows:
1. First, log on to the Manager with your user data.
2. Then, select the workarea where the projects of the Instant Producer are to be stored.
3. Click on button
Connection Instant Producer
to establish a connection.
4. Then click in the download dialog on
Open
. This will open a dialog that contains the URL and the user login.
5. Enter your password in this dialog and confirm it with
Ok
. Then, all the available resources from the Manager will be downloaded to your local system.
6. Confirm the process dialog with
Ok
and restart the Instant Producer.
The Instant Producer is now connected to the Manager and you can start creating your projects.
7.2 Exchanging Projects
The Manager facilitates basic processes involved in working with projects. The projects can either be created directly in the Instant Producer or you can download blank projects that were pre-defined in the Manager and assigned to the respective author. Subsequently, the relevant processes are recorded and edited in the Instant
Producer. In the final step, the projects are saved on the server to make them available centrally.
