Content server Config? in DMS

I am receiving a error in config. of content server.
While creating repositories,it says
HTTP error 401 unauthorised.
Also what is the certificate means in CSADMIN,Does it necessary for creating the Reposiotry.
Help me come out of this.
Regards,
John.

Hello,
You have the wrong permission on the file ContentServer.ini in the path C:\Program Files\SAP\Content Server
Provide enough rights and it should be ok.
About the certificate, you don't need it for the creation of a content repository

Server Config for DMS

Hi All,
We're having SAP ERP ECC 6.0, and are going to implement DMS soon. Can anyone guide me about server configuration required for the same.
Can we use 32bit servers for DMS and integrate it with existing 64bit servers for ERP?
Ashish

Hi,
DMS is part of ECC 6.0, you will only need content server to store DMS documents. It is possible to use 32 bit content server which talks with SAP (your 64 bit install) through http protocols. You need to plan one server for content server, on the same server you can install TREX search engine provides the RAM permits it.

Content Server config for production system - oac0

Hi all
We are setting up content server for our ERP 2005 system, and I am wondering what best practice is for our scenario.
We have one content server (CST) for development and test systems on host A, and one content server (CSP) for production system on host B. The Archive link configuration in dev and test points to CST. When this is transported to production, it will point to the wrong content server and I will have to reconfigure the archivelink in production to point to the correct content server (CSP).
What is the best way to set up the production system to point to the content server CSP on host B? Should I define a new content repository in t-code oac0 in dev, and transport this to production? Should I define the new repository directly in production system??
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Hello,
I had the same problem a few years ago with R/3 4.7.
I don't think there is a perfect solution but here is what I did :
In the DEV system, in OAC0, I created 2 content repositories, one for the test sytem and one for the production. I transported these 2 content repositories in the production system.
In the DEV system, in OAC3, I created temporary links from my business objects to my production content repository. I released the request order.
Then I deleted these links which are wrong in the DEV system. I transported the order in the R/3 production system where these links are right.
In the DEV system, in OAC3, I then created the links from my business objects to my TEST content repository. I released the second request order.
So my config is now OK in my test and my production system.
When we refresh the DEV system by a database copy from the production system. We just have to reimport the test request order to switch the links to be OK on the DEV system. We don't have to recreate the test content repository as it was defined als oi nthe production system.
I am not sure that this is clear but this works for us with no problems since 2002.
I hope this helps.

Content Server Installation in DMS

Dears,
We are implementing DMS on our Windows server and Database is Oracle 10.2.0.4.
For it I have installed ECC6 server and now as I know I have to follow SPRO steps for DMS configuration.
Beside it I have to install a content server also,For which our plan is to install it on the same server.
I searched on marketplace I found latest version of it is 6.30 and I found a zip file of it.
So please suggest for which version I should go and how can I install it.If possible please confirm CD label also.
Shivam

Dear Shivam
Version 6.30 should be fine.

Netwearver WAS version 640 of the content server for PLM DMS

Hi,
We have SAP R/3 4.7 version & have implemented PLM-DMS with content server on WAS620.We are contemplating to use distributed content server for our requirement. Has anyone used multiple content servers? if so, could you please share your experiences.
Also, if anyone has anyone upgraded the content server to version 640, i would like you to share your experiences with me.
Thanks,

Sap R/3 4.6C - CS630 (patch-lvl15)
We do not use SapDB or MaxDB to store the document on the content server, we store the documents directly in the file system.
Our Content servers run on win2003 servers.
In my company we've currently got 15 different content servers in 10 countries.
We've got one content server and one cache server at each location for one SAP system. One physical server has 2 content servers and 1 cache server. One for our SAP production system and one for our SAP Quality test system. They use the same cache server (first we created 2 cache servers, but it was not possible for SAP to destuingish between the two, so both cache servers got used by both SAP systems)
We have also implemented a couple of add-ons:
1. Conversion and viewserver (by Seal AG). conversion server converts office documents to pdf when documents are released. Currently use only 2 conversion servers, planning to increase when the volume gets larger.
Viewserver adds stamps on pdf-files when you view or print a document.
2. Document Distribution Manager (by CENIT AG). Makes it easy to schedule prefill of cache. Also possible to move documents from one storage category to another. And Rules for transfering documents from one site to another can be made (Ex. "not allowed to move files larger than 20 MB between <certain> sites")
Perhaps I could be of assistance?
BUT, anyway, the reason I post this is because I have problems upgrading my CS630 (lvl15) to CS640 (lvl6).
Asked SAP via an OSS, and they said it was like a regular patching (stop webservice, copy *.dll files, and restart webservice). But when I try this, I can't get contact with the content server via CSADMIN in SAP. I get "HTTP error: 500 Internal Server Error"

Document bulk upload to content server for SAP-DMS?

Dear all,
Thanx

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

Content server config - error?

While creating content repository in OAC0,after filling all necessary fileds and trying to send the certificate,the below mentioned error occurs.
Error in HTTP access : If_HTTP_client>receive 1
ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.
Help me how to rectify...
Regards,
John.

Hi John,
if you don't see any errors around the same point in time in the MaxDB / SAP DB files dbm.prt and/or knldiag.err (both found in the Rundirectory, normally <drive>\sapdb\data\wrk\<SID> on Windows systems), then it's very probably not a MaxDB / SAP DB issue, but a general Content Server issue. In that case, this forum (MaxDB/liveCache) would be the wrong one.
So, please let me know if you find something in the mentioned files.
Regards,
Roland

SAP Content Server sizing for DMS

Hi
Can anyone advise on the most appropriate way to 'size' for a new Content Server. Documents have been stored in the SAP DB till now, but the use is increasing, so now a new Content Server is to be added and all existing documents migrated into it. I have seen references in the past to SAP methodology for sizing the content server, but now cant find any.
Thanks

Dear John
Please find these links on how to do SAP content Server sizing.

Using a single Content server for DMS and also for Archive link documents

Hi,
We have Planned for a single content server for managing the documents in DMS, parallelly as DMS Standard SAP objects are not available for all SAP transactions, i have proposed for making use of SAP Archivelink funtionality to maintain the documentations where Std SAP DMS does not provide a Solution.
so here the question is
can a single content server be used as a content repository for Both DMS and archivelink,
can any one having done this pls state if it is possible to create different or Many Content repositories for DMS, Archive link in the same server,
is this a virtual creation or can we assign each repository a specific storage space which it should not exceed.
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Hi sathish,
-- Through the ArchiveLink docuemnt Management interface, an SAP sytem can use various content servers as storage media. similarly, one contnent server can be used by multiple SAP systems.
-- A Content server always has a single database assigned to it. A database can therefore be used by only one content server.
-- A databse is split into as many repositories as necessary. The design of the repository is mapped in the SAP system.A repository contains documents.
Depending on your requirements,(if u have limited documents or with low requirements) you can use the same content server for both DMS and Archivelink.
The number of documents stored on the content server is limited only by the size of the database.
Its better to have an external content server for archiving purpose, if your database size is increasing. Since the archiving systems storage is not dependent on the database.
U can also refer to the below thread :
How to Archive SAP DMS Data?
hope this helps....

Setting content server for storing PPM documents

Hi Folks,
We have followed the steps outlined the PPM config doc for setting up the content server (pages 117). Summary of the steps are shown below. (We are on PPM5.0)
Creating a Content Server Entry
1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server Basis Services
Knowledge Provider Content Management Service Define Content
Repositories , choose Content Repository Display/Change .
2. Choose Content Repository Create .
3. Enter a name and a description for the content server.
4. Enter CFF in the Document Area field and HTTP in the Storage Type field.
Creating a Storage Category for a Repository
1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server Basis Services
Knowledge Provider Content Management Service Define Content Categories
, choose New entries.
2. Enter a name and description, and then enter CFF in the Document Area field.
3. Enter the name of the newly-created content repository in the Content Repository
field.
Setting the new Content Server as the Default Storage Category
1. Choose transaction DMWB.
2. Choose model area CFF in the tree.
3. Navigate to PHIO-classes, node CFF_VERSION_V.
4. Change the standard attribute STORAGE_CATEGORY from CFFCONTENT to the
category you have defined above.
5. Repeat this for node CFF_ADD_FILES_V and for CFF_VERS in node
CFF_VERSION_V.
After doing the above steps I did the following tests.
1. Tried to access documents stored at the portfolio item level before doing the above content server config. I was able to access the documents which leads me to believe that files are still getting stored in the DB.
2. Checked the table CFF_CONT before and after storing a 1kb file and the number of entries increased by 2, which again leads me to believe the file is not stored in the content server.
Appreciate any input on whether we have followed the correct steps and if there is a better way check if files are actually being stored in the content server.
Thanks,
Lashan
Edited by: Lashan Wanigatunga on Apr 28, 2011 7:08 AM

Hi Lashan,
I didn't same steps as you explain in your first post but it isn't working.
Why didn't it work for you when you posted your 1st post, and now is is working? Is there some installation or Add-on that we need you have? Is there any Basis system parameters that we need to put?
thanks in advance,

Content Server for Archiving

Hello,
I wanted to confirm if we can use the content server which is used to store the originals of a DIR, to store the scanned documents using Archivelink? Whats are the pros and cons?
Thanks,
Paddy

Dear Athol Hill,
Thanks fore the quick reply,
let me with other DMS community cleary understand the Pros and Cons of Going for the content server storing of original files,
i belive SAP recommends to go for the SAP Content server installation for storing of original files for DMS? please explain in your own words.
so if we use same content server for storing original directly and also Archiving, do you mean to say that the original files stored in Archiving portion of the content server be copied to CDs and DVDs,
if this is the case can there be tranfer of the Original files from one repository of the content server (acting as DMS storage ) to another Repository (acting as Archive Storage)
so if this transfer is made then any original files can be copied to Optical drives,
one basic question i have is all this original storage device like this Content server, Archive and Vault do only act as Secure storage system? or is that only the feature of Content server?
if so then even if we copy the Archived files in to CDs and DVDs. they cannot be viewed directly with out the Help of SAP Logon transaction. is my understanding right?
is there any Storage System that is Supported by SAP which allows Data be stored other than Secure storage Area,and making it available outside SAP transaction for later use.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

Delete a document permanently & Content Server Partition with authorization

Hi
Can you help me regarding the below requirement.
Is there any possibility to create the folders in content server . Our client want to save same type of documents in one folder (eg: folder1) and authorization to be given to particular users to use that folder (folder1).
Regards
Harshini

Hi Harshini,
from DMS point of view I think such a folder construction is not available for the Content Server. In DMS you can maintain different content repositories and storage categories in transactions OACT and OAC0.
These storage categories could be seen as a kind of folder and with the help of profiles in the DMS customizing you can also control which kind of files should be put in a specific storage category based on the workstation application.
I hope that this information could be useful for you.
Best regards,
Christoph

SAP Content Server configuration CSADMIN username password

Hi all.
I am having problems when I try to configure SAP Content Server 6.40 after installation. When I try to run csadmin to set up the content repository, I constantly get this login prompt. I have tried using the default SAPR3 user and password, but I only get access denied. The SAPR3 user exists on my MaxDB 7.6. I have also tried setting AdminSecurity=0 in the ContentServer.ini file, and the login prompt is still displayed.
Does anyone have any idea on what username and password I should use, so that I can try to complete the Content Server config? Also, if you know of any decent guidelines for the content repository configuration, I'd be happy if you provide me with some documentation..
Thanks!

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid
