Configure EP6SP9 KM in a file server instead of KM Database

Hi All,
We are at EP6SP9 in Windows 2003.
As a part of my user requirment, I need to set up all my KM folders in a file repository and not in KM Database. The users would view this folders as KM Folders and need to utilise all the facilities offered by KM like Versioning, subscription and notification.
I need to also integrate the central ADS Server as the user management engine (Windows Authentication) so that all the users automatically logon to the portal when they log-on to the system.TREX also has to index through this documents in the file server.
Need some advice on the same.
1) I have seen a document entitled "Integration of Windows File Services into SAP KM Platform using SSO and WebDAV Repository Manager". Is this the one that I have to use for setting the system up or any other suggestions. Has anyone tried connecting KM to an file server Database.
2) Can I utilise all the KM Functionalities with the documents and folders residing in a file server.
Would love to interact with anyone who has worked on the same.
Regards,
Rajan.K

There's already lots of information on the subject right here on SDN. Here are a few pointers to get you started:
CM repository documentation in SAP Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/468698a8e611d5993600508b6b8b11/content.htm
Weblog with step-by-step instructions on creating an FSDB repository:
Creating a CM Repository Manager - FSDB
I basically just followed the weblog and it worked. In fact, some steps in the weblog are not necessary if you intend to use the default "documents" repository. In that case, just switch to FSDB persistence mode, add your network paths and it should work after restarting the engine.
Note that the contents of your repository will be deleted once you switch unless you backup your files to the FSDB root prior to that.
Hope this helps.

  • Using File Server instead of FND_LOBS table

    Dear Experts
    Hi,
    we use R12.1 with UP-UX Itanium.
    the approach of our company about Attachments in organization mades FND_LOBS table so big.
    I couldn't change this approach to attach many file in ERP so I searched in google and metalink how can we reduce FND_LOBS size
    but there is no useful information to do this
    it seems that this problem is Unavoidable.
    So I want to know if there is a way to using FILE SERVER in ebs 12.1.1 or any useful plan to reduce FND_LOBS size or its effects?
    Thanks
    Best Regards

  • How to upload an image to EBS file server (Not store in database) with OAF?

    Dear all,
    I can upload an image into database with blob type. But I want to know how to upload an image to EBS file server. I try to search the forum but I cannot find the solution I want.
    Anybody can reallize it? Please give me some advice or idea?
    Thanks.
    Kenny

    Kenny,
    Framework doesn't provide the option of storing the images as files. You can write a javascript to open a popup and provide a standard HTML file upload component which will save the file on specified location.

  • WebUtil - File Transfer to File Server instead of App Server of DB

    Is it possible to upload a file to server other than the db server or app server?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I don't think so. Notice that Webutil allows transfering files only on the App Server machine. With the DB Server, you can only transfert file to/from the database, not the file system.

  • Pointing KM to our file server

    Hi folks,
    We have recently setup a portal prototype and I have got KM working with the folders that exist on the portal server.  My question is can I point the KM to our file server that exists on our network?  Assuming I can do this, does the Check-in and Check-out/document locking functionality reside on the portal and could users therefore circumvent the security by going directly to the file server instead of the portal?
    Thanks for any help you can provide!
    -Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    you can access the filesystem by creating a CM repository in FSDB mode or a Filesystem repository. Here is a link to
    some howto Guide for creating CM repositories:
    <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/Creating%20a%20">http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/Creating%20a%20</a>
    The locking is supported by the CM repository, but only KM internally. If the user accesses the file from the filesystem, he can change the document content even if the file is locked in KM. I would also propose to deny access on filesystem level after integrating it into KM.
    Regards

  • Wiki file attachments - can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page?

    Can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page? This would enable users to open (and edit) the original server hosted document rather than downloading a static copy that can't be edited and synced back into the wiki page.
    As a workaround I've tried attaching an alias to a file but it doesn't work - the wiki instead uploads the aliased file.
    From what I can work out, the default wiki behaviour is to upload a document to a wiki page, which creates a copy of the uploaded document in the wiki database. This copy has no connection to the original document. It can be downloaded and edited, but the edits are not saved back into the wiki hosted version of the document.
    I'd like to be able to upload a link or alias to a document (with preview please!) already on the server. A user could then preview the document or click to open and edit it.
    The only way I can do this at the moment is to create a link "afp://123.../doc.rtf" to the original. This is timeconsuming and confusing for non-technical users and doesn't offer the benefits of the attach function (ie document preview).
    Is there any way the wiki can be configured to link to documents already on the server using the attach functionality?

    An update for anyone in a similar situation.
    Patch 3944727 for 9.0.4.1 that solves this issue: "USER LOV IASM11SHIP EDIT USER LOV SHOULD SHOW THE NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE." However, the patch is mutually exclusive with the latest CPU's and there's no plan to merge the pacthes given the dwindling support for 9.0.4.1. So that patch is pretty much worthless.
    I've been told that this patch is included in newer portal versions, so the real solution is an upgrade.

    My Department is elearning.
    All Departments get Internet and Network Access from IT Department.

    If No, then How can I fulfill my requirement ?
    Kindly revert.
    Best Regards,

    Do you already have an AD domain in your environment? If yes then simply add your File Server as member server and use your AD user accounts to grant the required accesses.
    If no then you can:
    Create local user accounts and provide access using them
    or make your server a DC, create AD accounts and then grant the required accesses
    Before proceeding, it would be better to see with your IT department what is already available and their recommendations to manage your needs.

  • Configuring the file server in KM and access,edit the documents from it

    Hi friends,
      My requirement is to configure the file server where u will have all the structured and unstructured data stored here. So users can share the documents and create, edit ,save the documents from the file server itself.
    In KM what kind of file servers are there apart from the one it supports by default.
    Can anybody pls provide the configuration steps regarding how to configure the file server i KM.
    To configure the file server is webDAV protocol required?
    Points would be assigned for the helpful answer.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sireesha.

    Dear Sireesha,
    Well KM supports mostly all the File server however we have some restrictions with Novell FS and Sharepoint Server from Microsoft. Like versions and other meta data have some issues.
    Alsothough to configure a File Server you need to first create a FS repository Manager. Details can be found in the help guide:
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">FS Repository Manager</a>
    Yes WebDAV protocol is required here.
    You can create WebDav RM as well.

  • IIS Web Farm - File Server for Content and Shared Configuration - SOFS?

    We currently have a number of web farms with their content and shared configuration files located on a standalone file server.
    I am looking to utilise the clustered file server role in Windows 2012 to provide improved uptime and load balancing for the configuration and content shares.
    Please could someone provide clarification as to whether SOFS is supported for this scenario?
    There appears to be some conflicting advice in the documentation and across the internet.

    There appears to be some conflicting advice in the documentation and across the internet.
    SoFS is a good choice for a) Hyper-V and b) SQL Server (anything working with a big files like VHDX and MDF). For a bunch of a small files IIS has in a shared directories SoFS is not going to work and it's cleary said in the documentation. See:
    Scale-Out File Server for Application Data Overview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831349.aspx
    Workload: Information worker
    Yes
    Not recommended
    Workload: Hyper-V
    Yes
    Yes
    Workload: Microsoft SQL Server
    Yes
    Yes
    So in your case just an ordinary clustered file servers should be enough. See:

  • Integrating existing file server with EP6SP9

    hello everyone
    we are implementing EP6 SP9 portal for our SBU and we need to integrate our existing file server with portal in which we can upload documents and download existing documents.
    do we need to use content management to access this file server using the file system repository manager or it can be done in some other way
    If theres an alternate way to do this, kindly explain what needs to be done.
    Kindly help
    Thanking you
    Anurag

    Anurag,
    yes, CM is the software to use for this. you could, in principle, go without CM and code the neccessary stuff on your own. But: The more funcionality you desire (think of: additional properties, search functionality, versioning ...), the more sense using CM makes. Plus you get all required user interfaces (like a repository browser) for free.
