readCatalogue

Scope

SAP Companion parameter, specified either in the URL or in the SAP Companion parameters in the linked application.

Purpose

This parameter will suppress the (SAP Enable Now) user authentication check (which usually occurs as soon as the user logs on to the system) until the user clicks on the Help button (and actually needs the SAP Enable Now help).

This parameter was implemented specifically for SuccessFactors, and initially only worked for a SuccessFactors system. However, I have seen it successfully used for an S/4HANA system, so presumably the use was extended in a later release (of either SAP Enable Now or S/4).

Usage

Specified as:

readCatalogue=[true|false]

If this parameter is set to false then any Help Topics set to Show Instantly will not have their Hotspots 'instantly' displayed, because Web Assistant will not check for help content ('instant' or otherwise) until the user clicks on the Help button. Also, don't use this if you are using openImmediately, as it needs to perform the check so it can display the Carousel.
