Can I display SDN or SAP help page links in my website

[Pruthvi_Renukarya]

Hi All,

I hope this this the right forum to discuss the following topic.

I want to know if i create a blog or website of my own in a third-party server, can i display the link for SDN document or link for SAP help pages in my web site. will there be any copyright issue if i do so.

Please let me know if any other alternative also.

Regards,

Thanks a lot for your quick replies.

but I have a doubt about deep linking.

What i understand from deeplinking defination is that, any link to a web page otherthan the site's home page.

So if deeplinking is not allowed, then i can display a link such as [sdn.sap.com] or [help.sap.com], but cannot point to a specific thread or a document in the above mentioned sites.

Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not.

Regards,

Pruthvi R

I am not a sap representative, so this is just my own opinion. I can't see it being an issue - depends what you were doing with it though. Although deep-linking is generally frowned on, with an information repository like help.sap.com, you could be restructuring the information held in an helpful way.

If it is a link to SDN which then makes it clear where the content is, then I would think that SAP would even be happy if a site did this. I.e. when you click on the link, you are taken to it's source on SDN.

If you are lifting images or documents off SDN such that the content looks like it is on the external site without pointing back to SDN or at the least acknowledging the source of the information, then I would think that you will run into troubles (the owner of the content, SAP legal, the Coffee Corner, etc ).

I think so called deeplinking is the big no-no. Pointing to other sites is what the web is all about so that shouldn't be a problem.
