Content Server Migration in SAP CRM 4.0

Hi,
we have the following problem:
We want to migrate old documents from an old content repository to a
new archive to see them in CRM. How to to this?
We found the note 1043676 to migrate them, but the note is only for SAP R/3. How to migrate old documents to a new one?
Regards
Jochen

Hi
Please locate the boconfig.cfg file e.g. /home/bi4/BI4/setup/boconfig.cfg
If the file has only a few entries it is most definitely corrupted. Check if the boconfig.cfg_old has more lines, if yes make it boconfig.cfg
If that still fails:
- Restore the boconfig.cfg from a backup
- Copy the boconfig.cfg file from a working BI4 system
Then restart BI4

MS Commerce Server integration with SAP CRM (incl. Middleware question)

Hi,
We're investigating on how to possibly connect a MS eCom solution (MS Commerce Server) to a SAP CRM backend.
With the correct middleware and some Bapi's this would probably be do-able solution I guess, but does anyone have info on standard setups for this?
- Standard Bapi's to use?
- Middleware to be used (will XI do it all or do we need a 3th party middleware solution)?
- Are any of the standard MS eCom screens aligned with what's in the SAP Badi's?
- What about pricing information - is the info returning from the IPC valid for MS eCom display?
Anyway - if anybody has any ideas or experience around this - feel free to reply.
Thanx!

HI Arno,
I asked our CRM guys but because we are doing workforce management and that required server based integration..
Do you have any idea for that ?

Thanks Baskar for your reply
Can you please endorse if the following activities are needed to perform for its implementation
1. Using MS EPM SDK, create mapping data (XML)
2. Windows Synchronization Service to detect changes in MS EPM
3. SAP PI / XI for web-services
4. BAPIs to update SAP PS project
The same goes to sync SAP PS with MS EPM in reverse order.
Plus, is there standard implementation document available as provided to integrate MS EPM with cProjects?
There are many forum posts for which all replies are related to knowledge sharing, possibility and idea sharing. I don't find any post related to its actual implementation.

Common content server for 2 SAP systems

Hello Friends,
We have configured a common content server for 2 SAP systems, say A & B using oac0 and csadmin, have set 2 content rep C1 for A & C2 for B resp. Please let me know if this is fine?
other thing is when i go to t-code csadmin on both the systems, for A - C2 displays customizing missing and for B - C1 displays customizing missing.but the systems are running fine and we are able to checkin documents
please let me know why it shows customizing missing?
Regards
Surjit

Hi,
The customizing missing message is due to 2 different SAP system. Means when you activate the content server thru CSADMIN the certificate is used only one. Right! Now physical systems are two so in both the cases it will show one as customizing missing because no physical rep available for missing one. But these will work at it's own level fine because the one is available as a physical rep in each case.
Hope this will resolve the query.

Ravindra

Content server migration

At the moment in our production system(SAP 6.O) there are two clients:
Client 400 where FI/CO/MM application are running, and client 300 for
HCM applications.
We would like to have only one client in our production system.
Due to this, we would like to move HCM process and data from cliente
300 to client 400. At the end of migraton Client 300 will be cancelled.
Among others applications, also SAP e-recruiting is running in
client 300. Is it possibile to move E-Recruiting data and attacchments
from one client to another? I'm worried especially about attacchments
stored in content server and Business partner data.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have not done a migration yet, but I´m introducing ArchiveLink in a larger scal right now and migration is also a topiv for later tasks. What I have found is OSS note 1043676. Here you can copy docs from one repository to another. Thats how I would try:
1. Make a new rep poiting at your new CS (e.g. Z2)
2. Copy all docs from Z1 (your old CS) to Z2 by using OSS note 1043676
3. Change customizing that all your relations point to the new rep.
Cause I guess the final repository is not transparent to the application therefore a switch to a new rep should be possible.
I did not try this but this may be the way I would suppose to go.
Hope I could help you anyway
P.S.: If you found the right way, please post it
kind regards Matthew

Content server migration - loadercli and I'm running nuts...

We have an (old) content server database of 150 GB on 7.3.0.52 and we're trying to migrate that database to Linux x86_64 bit. I tried the following before:
- tried to install/run 7.3 on SuSE SLES 11 SP1 - failing (new kernel threading)
- tried to restore the 7.3 backup on 7.5 - failing (host pagaes too old)
- tried to use 'loadercli' of 7.5 (Note 962019) - failing (ASCII --> Unicode)
- now trying to use 7.6.06.20 and stuck
I want to use pipes as transport and use loadercli on the target system (7.6).
I created two files (according to note 962019)
EXPORT USER
catalog outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.export'
and
IMPORT USER
catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import'
The pipes are not existing.
I start the export which seems to work, the COS.CAT pipe is created.
As soon as I start the import, I get the following error message:
IMPORT USER
catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES
package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import'
// M    Execute   PACKAGE to transform CATALOG
// M    Import    PACKAGE x'01000000A296EB4EB45800009B16031EC842BF0100000000'
// M    Number of TABLES   transformed : 3
// M    Processed command is a PAGES format based copy from database
// with ASCII catalog to database with UNICODE catalog
// M    Execute   PACKAGE to transform DATA
// M    Number of TABLES   to transform: 0
// E -25329:    The given data file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' was not
// generated using EXPORT in PAGE Format (missing table description).
plus I get an additional pipe created "COS.DATA0000"
What am I missing here? I'm fiddling with this since hours and I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
Markus

what is the source platform (just to be able to test here)?
Source platform is SLES 9 32bit
Target is SLES 11 SP1 64bit
> 50% less data volume in the target sounds strange.
it is, data is missing.
> What does the loader.log say - source and target - anything suspicious?
Not really, it looks "good":
loadercli -d COS -n xx.xx.xx.xx -u SAPR3,SAP -b COS_EXPORT.sql
Loader protocol: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/log/loader.log'
Loader packages: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/packages'
User SAPR3 connected to database COS schema SAPR3 on 191.1.1.29.
EXPORT USER
catalog outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'
data outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' RECORDS
package outstream file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.export'
Successfully executed:
Total number of tables (definition) exported: 3
Total number of tables (data)       exported: 3 (excluded: 0, failed: 0)

Loader protocol: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/log/loader_2011121600202813.log'
Loader packages: '/home/sqdcos/sdb/connd266/loader/packages'
User SAPR3 connected to database COS schema SAPR3 on local host.
IMPORT USER
catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT'

Successfully executed:
Total number of tables (definition) imported: 3
Total number of tables (data)       imported: 3 (excluded: 0, failed: 0)
Could/should we use a higher version on the target system?

Content server Migration 7.6 to 7,8

Hi Experts,
we have two SAP content servers:
- An old one Win2k3 (32bit) with MaxDB 7.6.00.18 and nearly 200GB of data
- A new Win2008R2 server (64bit) with SAP MaxDB 7.8.02.29 and 150GB of data
We´d like to move all data from the old 7.6 DB onto the new server.
Does anyone have a "best practice" for that?
On both CS we do a daily full backup into the filesystem.
Is there a possibility to recover the 7.6 backup on the "new" server into the 7.8 environment?
May
Any further suggestions? Export / import?
Thanks for any help.
Martin Schneider

Hello Deepak Kori,
thanks a lot for your reply!
I read this SAP note and the note with additional information (129352).
As i understand we can do a homogeneous system copy as follows:
- setting up the new server (2008x64) with a MAXDB instance (7.6.03.09)
- Creating a backup (migration) from the source system (7.6.00.18)
- recovery with initialization of this backup on the new server
- upgrade of the DB instance to SAP MAXDB 7.8.02.29
If this is correct, i think we have a good strategy!
Thanks
Martin

Moving docs from Content Server 6.30/SAP DB to CS 6.40/MaxDB. Problems?

Hi SAP Experts
A question today about Content Server versions and unicode.
We are planning to extract documents stored in SAP Content Server 6.30 (SAPDB 7.3) connected to ECC5.
And move the documents to be stored in a separate SAP Content Server 6.40 (MaxDB 7.6) connected to a different ECC5 system.
I have seen that the latest MaxDB 7.6 is installed as unicode by default.
The CS 6.30 with SAPDB 7.30 is non-unicode (CODE=ASCII)
Does anyone know of any issues we may encounter with this process?
Logically we are taking a document stored in a Non-Uni database (CS 6.30/SAPDB 7.3) and moving it to be stored in a Uni database (CS 6.40/MaxDB 7.6).
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Regards Graham

Hi Gregor,
That's what I thought may have been the case. Since I sent this post, I tried bypassing SAPINST by analyzing install scripts, and manually installing the Apache shared library, and other config files. At this point, I can bring-up the content server, but somehow it is not able to analyze the archivelink function from the URL. Finally I gave up, and decided to use supposted Linux distributions, I was trying to avoid initially as those were not free as for such a small component, seemed like overkill.
Thanks for the information.
Regards,
Vishal

Content Server Migration to Windows 2088 Server

Hi,
All our systems are on windows 2008 server. Since during time of Implementation CS was not supported on Wind 2K8 we had to install it on a separate hardware (Win 2K3). Now that it is supported we need to migrate our server from this separate hardware to our SolMan server.
I need some advice on how too go ahead with this activity.
I believe below are the steps.
1. Upgrade MaxDB in our current CS from Version 7.6.03.10 to 7.6.5.12 or above as per SAP Note 1399009.
2. Install SAP CS on the SolMan Sever.
3. Do a Homogenous System Copy - restore of Backup of source MaxDB. Note 962019 & 129352
4. Copy the ContentServer.INI file and the security directory to the
new server. As this is not backed up in the DB Backup.
Is this Process correct? Is there any guides for this. Please help.

Tips for migrating to SAP CRM (especially relationships)

Hi Guru's
We have created an Idoc interface via the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) over here for the migration of Business Partners, Business Partner Relationships, Opportunities, Activities and Quotations. We need to migrate data for 12 countries. The first country has about 30.000 Business partners in scope and about 6.000 Opportunities.
Because each country has bought or developed it's own CRM system in the past it is not completely clear yet in which way the data has been arranged in these systems. Migrating the u2018flat & staticu2019 data like names, addresses, phone numbers and so on wonu2019t be that complicated but what about the relationships between mutual Business Partners and the relations between Business Partners and Opportunities for exampleu2026
What if these relationships havenu2019t been maintained in the legacy systems for example? How can we best approach this relationship matter?
Tips & Tricks are welcome!
Thanks and Regards.

if the data is not maintained in the legacy system, then you have two options
- make up the data - if your business requires, then somehow somewhere you need data source
- leave it as it is - fortunately relationship is not mandatory in CRM
hope it helps

SAP Content Server Configuration multiple repositories

Dear Gurus,
We have a content server configured with SAP CRM.
Recently we faced issue with large size of generic object created by user monthly in SAP R/3 (SOFFCONT1 growth ) thus we are considering to use content server for generic object storage.
Could you please advice?
1. As far as I know , I can have multiple repositories in content server thus can have my R/3 and CRM repositories in same content server , Please correct me , Any importent aspect which should be consider while doing such( except growth recalculation and user load for additional R/3 system).
2. We are running SAP R/3 from past few years and we have a huge number of generic objects in R/3 database.
Is it possible to migrate existing generic object to content server?
Thank you

Migration of documents from a http content server into sap kpro und sap dvs

hello,
I want to migrate documents from an http 4.5 content server into the sap knowledge provider (kpro) and in sap dvs with an abap program.
I know I have to create a PHIO and a LOIO and write it in the tables DMS_PH_CD1 and (only the LOIO) in DMS_DOC2LOIO.
Where I have to write my url for accessing the document on the content server?In which table?
What fm´s do I need to create the PHIO´s and LOIO´s?
Has anyone an idea and hints (like weblinks) to integrate documents from an content server into kpro and sap dvs?

Hello,
the private key, where the hash is signed with is stored
in your AppServer directory $DIR_INSTANCE/sec and is
called SAPSYS.PSE. Where the PSE is a secude (www.secude.de) specific format which contains the private and the publik key.
But I guess you won't get the private key, because its private, unless you are the Administror
Then signig is done via the normal industry standards. (http://www.rsasecurity.com/)

It depends largely on how you have installed Content Server but if you check the [Operating Manual for SAP Content Server|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/8c/e9ddbb5d9a524bbb7854d31b963248/frameset.htm] -> Special Procedures ...it should give enough info for your requirements.
