Content Server - DB and OS compatibility
Hi Everybody,
Can anyone tell me the DB's(databases) and OS(Operating systems) for which content,cache server can be installed on
? Am aware that its compatible with Windows 2003 and MaxDB, but need for other DB's and OS. Thank you.
Am still waiting for a response from the experts.
Will ECL viewer work with Sun SOlaris OS?

SAPu2019s content server (DMS) and EDMS with ECC 5.0
Hi all,
I am in the process of setting up SAPu2019s content server (DMS) and would really appreciate some insights as what version I should be installing.
We are currently running ECC 5.0 (640).
I am also interested in utilizing the Easy DMS functionality and would also really appreciate some insight on that as well (version etc).
Please advise?
Regards,
IqbalHi Iqbal,
unfortunately I'm not a Content Server expert. From DMS point of view I would recommend you to use always the latest Content Server patch level (see SAP note 514500). For the decision on the content server I would recommend you to contact your local consulting organisation which will support you in finding the right content server for your business requirements.
Regarding EasyDMS and the version you should use I can provide you the following suggestion. General there are currently three versions of EasyDMS which are 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1.
If you would like to run EasyDMS on Windows 7 PCs too, then you have to use version 7.1 because only this version supports Windows 7. Otherwise I would recommend you to run the latest patch level of verison 7.0
Further I can recommend you to read through the following notes which provide useful information on EasyDMS:
990018 - EasyDMS 6.0 Restriction Note
903827 - FAQ for Easy DMS 6.0
1273919 - SAP Easy Document Management 7.0 Restriction Note
1276709 - SAP Easy Document Management 7.0 FAQ Note

Content server pros and cons when compared to others
Hi DMS Gurus,
we are in a process of deciding which storage area to go for, and the client is kneen on going for a common existing server, as he is not kneen on spending on DMS content server.
my question are,
can we transform any existing file server or system (which is already in use) in to a content server just by installing windows 2003, and content server CDs. if so please tell me how to go about this.
is content server only the preferred storage to process the original files in through WEB DMS, or will Starage in SAP Database,Vault or Archive also will give this funtionality.
let me please know what are the major Pros (benifits) and cons (demerits) which Content server storage gives when compared to other storage.
Points for sure,
thanks in advance
ShantiShanti,
ArchiveLink:
You use SAP ArchiveLink as a communication interface between the document management system and the archiving systems. You can display the archived data using the SAP ArchiveLink viewer. Many times there are documents generated which needs to be tied to a DIR and hence you use the archive link to tie these to a transaction and the originals can be stored in the content server.
KPRO
KPRO apart from attaching the originals, it provides a wide range of other functionalities like content service,
where after every check in& checkout of DIR you can mantain the working copies in the content server.
Knowledge Provider is a component of SAP Web Application Server and provides the general infrastructure for storing and administrating documents.The Content Server and the Cache Server are server components that interact with the Knowledge Provider
Knowledge Provider provides the following services:
-Services for KPro client applications
-Document Management Framework (DMF)
-Document Management Service (DMS)
-Content Management Service (CMS)
-Integration of content servers and cache servers
-Content Server
-Allows you to integrate SAP Content Sever or
external content servers
-Cache Server
-Allows you to store documents close to the client (caching)
-Content Modeling Tool
-Document Modeling Workbench (DMWB)
Hope this helps

Does RMSDK come with Content Server 4?
The company I work for is looking to open its own eBooks market place.
The books have to be DRM'ed, so they are considering the use of Content Server 4.
does RMSDK require a different license (and cost) that content server 4?
I cannot find any info online and the resellers we have contacted have custom RMSDK implementation which cost more than Content Server 4!

Hello,
could you advise me if it is possible an RFC Content Server to be used with ITS for the archive instead of HTTP Content Server?
Thank you in advance for your reply.You should be able to edit the gateway space URL of the Content Server Published Content Web Service to include the published content location of where it is.
Alternately, you can set the published content targer and file transfer method for the server (or any other content server section) by right-clicking on the top-level node (or the individual folder) in the Content Server Explorer, and selecting "Publishing Target..." and setting the appropriate values in the resulting dialog box. -

Hi... we've found some odd behaviour with content server and I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experience.
Our installation is spread accross a number of servers, we have a front end portal/image server with Content Server installed on one of the servers behind the firewall.
When we create branding portlets (and content canvas portlets), it all works happily. The html template is created in the ptcs/publishedContent on the Content Server machine and images appear in the correct template folder on the Image Server machine and everything displays correctly on the portal page.
Problem is, for any other content portlets (eg: announcement), the images end up in the ptcs/publishedContent on the Content Server machine as well ... which isn't good as this location is not accessible from the browser - the published html gets rendered correctly but no images appear.
We don't want to manually transfer images from the Content Server to the Image Server and hack the generated ptcs html.... from what I can tell, all the properties set for the Image server are correct so we've hit a brick wall in terms of figuring out why it's behaving this way, our expectation was that the content portlets would operate in the same way as the branding portelts but this doesn;t seem to be the case.

ADEPT and Content Server 4 --- MIA?
I sent about three emails by now to the email addresses listed on the product pages for content server and adept, but never received an email back. there is no telephone number listed for them on the sales page. (maybe the product should be called INEPT, instead of ADEPT.)
so, I decided to call. I literally was passed around 8 different phone attendants, none of whom really had any idea of what these two products are, nor any idea who to call.
it is funny that I have to post to a forum to learn how one can get access to these services.
do they exist?
do they have a phone number?
do they have working email addresses?
does ADEPT have pricing info?
is there an educational or individual-end-user version of Content Server?
help appreciated.
/iawDear Mr. Welch,
I apologize for the trouble you have had with reaching someone to discuss Content Server 4 and ADEPT. Content Server 4 was just released by Adobe in North America and will release the server worldwide on October 10th (details including a User Manual can be found at http://www.adobe.com/products/contentserver/). Pricing for Content Server 4 is as follows:
$5000 upfront fee
$1500 per year for support/maintenance/upgrades plus access to
Digital Signing Service
$.22 per signed license for permanent transactions (non-expiring)
$.08 per signed license for expiring transactions (expiring between
0 and 60 days)
There are Solution Provider rates for companies that user Adobe Content Server 4 to enable content sales/loans to third-party websites.
You can contact me directly at [email protected] or 212-471-0981 if you would like to discuss further or have any additional questions.
I apologize again for troubles in getting additional information about this product.

Content Server And Asp e-Commerce site
Hey guys,
I've got the Content server installed and can upload books from my loacl test machine to the actualy server and download them as a preview. But im a little confused as to how to create the connection between purchasing a book and being supplied with a link? any other tutorials?
cheers
Darren Phillips
darren.c.phillips AT gmail.comHi Lee,
I've got that book, but I cant seem to find any working examples of a store, eg the section when the user clicks BUY BOOK and is then presented with the download link.
as for Digital Editions, would this allow me to create my own bookstore online and use DRM styles to control the features of the book? if so how can I get it?
essentially i've got Content Server to upload books to the server, and when i view them as a preview from the ADMIN acrea of the Content Server I can download the book and read it. If i try going directly to the books link on the server, im told i can not open it (which is correct).
im looking for a guide on how to create a store to encoprorate this featuer for hte books.... any ideas?

Trouble with Content Server connection
I am having an issue with content server on Unix. I'm finished with content server install and need to connect my ABAP system to it via CSADMIN. But when I first enter CSAdmin, I give it my host and port. What is the unix http script name for the default install??? Only the Windows name - ContentServer.dll - is populated? What is the web address to get to the content server?
http://<host>:<port>/???????
Do I need to do something with OAC0 and SICF first, before going to CSADMIN. The guide does not mention anything?
Thanks for your replies!
JeffHi. I dont know obout CS on UNIX, on windows CS uses port 1090 and HTTP script ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
The web page is
http://server:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo.
It's on Windows....
Also read this Note 586895. -->
New access paths and compatibility with Windows systems
The "/ContentServer/ContentServer. dll" and "/Cache/CSProxyCache.dll" paths have since been established as fixed default values for the Content Server/Cache Servers for Windows.
The module access in the Apache Web server is not restricted to actual paths for program files. Using <location> tags, you can determine any (sub)paths that are to be used to access a module. These tags are entered in the "httpd.conf" file within the relevant module configurations. You can also define the clients allowed to access this "location" within a <location> tag with an Allow/Deny clause.
To be able to continue using the Windows paths proposed in the SAP system, these Windows paths are installed as compatibility tags.
In addition to this, you can use the new, essentially shorter paths "/sapcs" and /sapcsc" to access the SAP Content Server and the SAP Cache Server.
The "Modifications to httpd. conf" attachment to the installation manual contains a list of all of the access paths delivered.
Regards.. Award if helpful.

Content Server problem after 5.0.2 upgrade
Hi,
We've just upgraded our staging environment from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 and have lost all branding. The diagnostic script reports the following error:
==========
Community Branding Image Publishing Target : FAIL Settings
Community Branding Image Publish File Location: file://localhost/C:/ProgramFiles/plumtree/ptimages/imageserver/plumtree/portal/templates
Community Branding Image Publish Browser Location: http://<SERVERNAME>/imageserver/plumtree/portal/templates
Community Image FTP User Name:
Community Image FTP Password:
Possible Resolution
The file could not be found at the browser locationEnsure the community branding settings in content.properties are correct. The file location and browser location must be valid paths.
Error Details
Exception Message: Connect Failed. HTTP response code: 404
======================
I tried resolving both the file location and the http address from within the Content Server box and was able to without problem so I know it's not these it can't see.
I checked the pcs.log and the following error is reported:
======================
com.plumtree.openfoundation.io.XPFileNotFoundException: jscomponent file for jscontrols not found or failed to load.Exceptions encountered: - com.plumtree.openfoundation.io.XPFileNotFoundException: Failed to receive response from http://<PUBLICURL>/imageserver/plumtree/common/private/js/jscontrols/jscomponent.xmlin the alloted time (10000ms).======================
It appears that the Content Server is trying to access this xml file via the public url for the image server which, due to firewall configurations in this environment, it won't be able to do. I'd like to be able to change how it looks for this file to be http://<SERVERNAME>/imageserver rather than http://<PUBLICURL>/imageserver
Where is it getting this from for me to change it?
Thanks in advance for your advice, hope my problem description makes sense :-)
AnitaHi Diane,
No, we haven't fully resolved this yet. In addition to the issue listed we've come across a number of others that look like problems from install. We've reached the point where it's looking more effective to try and uninstall Content Server and do a clean install from scratch rather than debug every little thing.
As part of the new install we're changing the architecture to create an internal ImageServer on the CS server and then use a scheduled task to push everything out to the external ImageServer on the portal box overnight. This should get around a number of the firewall and dns issues currently making communication between the two quite difficult.
We recently installed another 5.0.2 portal in a different environment and have had none of the same issues with it so we're a little perplexed. When we get this resolved I'll be happy to write a note about what it was. In the meantime if you get anywhere with yours please let us know.
cheers

Content server is not running.
All,
I have rather peculiar issue. The external 10.1.3.1 content server is setup against EBS 12.1.3.The content server is running fine and I was able to upload content using it. I fail to upload content all of the sudden until EBS is bounced. Nothing changes on content server side and again it works for day or two and stops and throws "Content server is not running" error. Is there any EBS configuration that can cause this behavior? I do not even see the request being logged in default-web-access-<date>.log on content server that indicates that it is not even reaching content server. It works fine in TEST environment and in PROD it is behaving in this manner. This is a new setup.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
FaisalThe fact that bouncing EBS fixes the issue temporarily indicates that the problem is most likely on the EBS end, but we haven't encountered that specific issue. What OS are you using to host EBS? Are you purging the J2EE cache when you bounce the services?
Feel free to reach out to Anne or myself if you'd like to dive into this. We could test with an alternate content server to see if that helps isolate the problem.
Best,
