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

Content server (installation error)

hi,
I have installed content server (oracle+UCM). on Windows 2000+SP4 platform.
But the problem I am facing is.. when I try to start content server system goes idle.
Its not giving me Login screen. But all other applications are working fine.
Can any one tell me what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everybody
I had the same problem with an installation of content Server 6.4 on AIX 5.3.
I checked the file in modules using "file" command and the result is :
"for apache" mod_access.so: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped
"for Content Server" mod_sapcs2.o: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped
I think that the apache was not compiled in 64 bits.
Also, i want to compiled Apache file in 64 Bit but i did not find the procedure or command.
Could you give me more informations to solve it
Many thanks in advance

Content server installations for OLM

Dear all,
We are in 11.5.10.2 instance with DB 10.1.0.5 ( upgraded) on multy node HPUX-PA-RISC and Itanium
We need to install content server in the different m/c. and we are going through the note 351047.1
In that they mentioned "Install container"
Is webserver Oracle 9iAS Release 2 will work for OLM content server setup.
If that is the case Is infrastructure should be installed first?
Is the Portal and wireless will work for our case?
what about 9i AS application server installation?
Kindly give us the detailed installation steps for OLM content server setup.
and What OS will be best suitable for this?
Thanks and regards
Vasu

Dear all,
I am having some doubts in the doc: 374677.1 Utilising content server with Oracle Learning management.
Let us take our existing oracle application as "APPS server" and content server install on windows is "CONTENT server"
(1) Install the container, such as Apache and ApacheJserv.
Ans: CONTENT server
(2) Create a servlet repository called servlets. For example, in Jserv, the servlets
repository exists by default.
Ans: CONTENT server
(3) Copy the following files to your servlet repository directory:
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServerServlet.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ProtocolConstants.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/SystemUtils.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/SystemUtils$JarUtility.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServeerClientData.class
Note:
The file location depends on the variable $JAVA_TOP.
If the application is running successfully then these files should definitely exist there
Make sure that the ENTIRE directory structure is copied over to the servlet repository directory.
So if the servlet repository directory is:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets
then the destination of these classes are as follows:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServerServlet.class
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ProtocolConstants.class
etc
Ans: APPS server to CONTENT server. how top copy entire directory structure
is we need to create directory like "oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util"
(4) Also ensure the oracle.apps.fnd.common.VersionInfo.class file is located
under the class path directory that is defined for the repository.
Note:
This file should be found under $JAVA_TOP as follows:
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo.class
Again, the entire directory structure needs to be copied, for example.:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo.class
Ans: from APPS server to CONTENT server
==========================================
(5) In zone.properties, add the following: (????? which zone properties
APPS server or CONTENT server?????????
# ----- OLM Content server ----- # servlet.OtaContentServerServlet.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ContentServerServlet
servlet.OtaProtocolConstants.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ProtocolConstantsservlet.OtaSystemUtils.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.SystemUtils
servlet.OtaSystemUtils$JarUtility.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.SystemUtils$JarUtilityservlet.OtaContentServerClientData.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ContentServerClientData
#----- END OLM
Note:
The zone.properties file location can vary depending on the implementation, usually in the apache server.
Ask the admin who set up the apache server, or look under the apache server setup.
(6) Create an alias for the directory where the content will be stored. For example, in Apache, to create an alias for the physical directory
Ans: CONTENT server
D:/apache/rootdir/, add the following inside the httpd.conf file:
Alias /content/ ’D:/apache/rootdir/’
(7) Add the list of middle tiers and the temporary file location as arguments to the Java Interpreter. For example, in Jserv, add following lines inside the jserv.properties file:
Ans : CONTENT server.
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Dmiddletier=148.87.19.51+148.87.19.50+144.25.78.202+10.10.20.140wrapper.bin.parameters=-DTemp=D:\temp
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/dbfiles/applcsf/log
Here the numbers, such as 148.87.19.51 and 148.87.19.50, are IP addresses of all trusted middle tiers, and + is the separator for multiple addresses.
Servers not specified in the list are not able to access the servlet.
D:\temp is the absolute path of the temp location where files are saved temporarily while handling physical content.
/dbfiles/applcsf/log is any existing directory for log files.
Pl go through the above and clear my doubt. ( about which server we need to do the task).
1. CONTENT server.
2. CONTENT server.
3. from APPS server to CONTENT server.
4. from APPS server to CONTENT server.
5. ????? which server CONTENT server or APPS server??????? if it is a APPS server under which directory the zone.property file will locate.
6. CONTENT server.
7. CONTENT server.
Kindly suggest me.

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.

Post-actions for Kpro-Content Server after Sap DB Copy

We have a Sap system based on Web As 6x connected to a Sap Content Server to store originals.
We copied back this Sap system to the quality system.
Now the Sap quality environment refers to the same Content Repository of the production, and we want to modify this.
From this environment it should not be possible to access or to modify the originals of the production.
More in general, wich post-actions can be done on the Sap target system after a DB copy where the source system is connected to a Content Server ?
For example, which tables can be cleaned up ?

Solaris Cluster Server Homogeneous System Copy

Hi,
We have SAP ECC 6.0 on Solaris Sparc server. Our database is Oracle 10.2.0.2. We will buy 2 new solaris server and we want to use these server as cluster. We want to make homogeneous system copy from current server to new cluster server. How can we make homogeneous copy from current server to new cluster server? Firts of all do we have to install new ECC 6.0 on cluster server and then will we make homogeneous system copy?
Also how can we install ECC 6.0 on Solaris Cluster server? Will we have install ECC 6.0 seperatly for each server of cluster unit? I have SAP installation document but it is not clear. Do you have another document for SAP installation on cluster server? Please help us about these issues.
Best regards.

First to move your ECC system from your current server to the new server, yes you do need to homogenous copy. There are other methods like storage sub-system level copy, but it is not supported. Since your system is ABAP, you can setup standby database on the new server and use dataguard to replicate database. You can manual move profiles, binaries and other application file systems manually since they are on external storage. You should change your profiles to use logical hostname instead of the physical hostname though Solaris 10 gives you the ability to move zone/containers with same hostname.
I am assuming you have distributed system, ie database and SAP separate. You can setup RAC for database HA. For SAP, you can use sun cluster or veritas cluster to move SAP central instance with the logical hostname to the 2nd standby server.
You can also separate ASCS from SAP central instance and setup failover for the CS instance with the cluster software. Check notes 821904, 870652. You can take another step in HA with ENQ replication (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/36/67973c3f5aff39e10000000a114084/content.htm)

The Web application at could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application

Hi,
I have created on windows service to fetch sharepoint list ad update the list items.
when i run this service in sharepoint server(where the sharepoint site is hosted),it is working fine. If i run the same service in another machine(sharepoint installed in this machine also). it is giving the below error
The Web application at [URL] could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

I have pointed .net framework to 3.5 version and target palform as Any CPU. Please suggest me

Hi mallela1,
I also had similar issue couple of months back when I was trying to access a remote URL from a Windows service when the site does not exists in the server where service resides.
You cannot access a remote url (even though it is SharePoint server and also in same network ) from server object model.
SPSite can look in the current server only. here what is happening is SPSite will look for this in the current server DB and it is not finding this errror.
So please dont use ServerObject model for accessing remote sites. You can use Client Object model for the code /requirement you have stated above.
I wasted lot of time in finding a work around to make to work. It did not. So look for other options.

Nandini

Copy any kind of file from content server to network directory

Helli All
The question:
I nee to copy any kind of file from content server to any network directory.
Explanation
1. transaction CV02N
2. There is attached file for a document in tab "Document data/Original"
3. This file stored in content server
4. I wrote program code that creates path of the stored file that finally looks like
http://cont:8888/ContentServer.dll?get&Version=.....*...&compid=app1.doc
where app1.doc is file's name and I have to copy this file into network directory.
The problem is that this URL open the file instead of just pointing to him
so that no function or method can't see this file and as the result I got message that
the file doesn\t exist.
Please, advice.
Regards,
Daniel.

many many thanks for ur help. i really did not check the URLClassLoader properly.
but i would like to hear a little more from u. i have another question. here in this code (provided earlier), i searched for attribute values in the manifest file, then again i load the required class file from the very url. is it not good to retrieve the whole jar file first, and then check attribute values inside manifest file and load the required class files from that jar file that is already downloaded without going to that url again? how can i do this?

Archive Repository - Content Server or Root File System?

Hi All,
We are in the process of evaluating a storage solution for archiving and I would like to hear your experiences and recommendations. I've ruled out 3rd-party solutions such as IXOS as over kill for our requirement. That leaves us with the i5/OS root file system or the SAP Content Server in either a Linux partition or on a Windows server. Has anyone done archiving with a similar setup? What issues did you face? I don't plan to replicate archive objects via MIMIX.
Is anyone running the SAP Content Server in a Linux partition? I'd like to know your experience with this even if you don't use the Content Server for archiving. We use the Content Server (currently on Windows) for attaching files to SAP documents (e.g., Sales Documents) via Generic Object Services (GOS). While I lean towards running separate instances of the Content Server for Archiving and GOS, I would like to run them both in the same Linux LPAR.
TIA,
Stan

Hi Stanley,
If you choose to store your data archive files at the file system level, is that a secure enough environment? A third party certified storage solution provides a secure system where the archive files cannot be altered and also provides a way to manage the files over the years until they have met their retention limit.
Another thing to consider, just because the end users may not need access to the archived data, your company might need to be able to access the data easily due to an audit or law suit situation.
I am a SAP customer whose job function is the technical lead for my company's SAP data archiving projects, not a 3rd party storage solution provider , and I highly recommend a certified storage solution for compliance reasons.
Also, here is some information from the SAP Data Archiving web pages concerning using SAP Content Server for data archive files:
10. Is the SAP Content Server suitable for data archiving?
Up to and including SAP Content Server 6.20 the SAP CS is not designed to handle large files, which are common in data archiving. The new SAP CS 6.30 is designed to also handle large files and can therefore technically be used to store archive files. SAP CS does not support optical media. It is especially important to regularly run backups on the existing data!
Recommendation for using SAP CS for data archiving:
      Store the files on SAP CS in a decompressed format (make settings at the repository)
       Install SAP CS and SAP DB on one server
       Use SAP CS for Unix (runtime tests to see how SAP CS for Windows behaves with large files still have to be carried out)

Content Server - can't copy sections

We are trying to make copies of some existing sections in Content Server Explorer. The original section was created as a News Portlet, which has since been customized.
This process has been working well, but... Today when we tried to make a copy of a section, we get the following message in the status: "Unable to complete document repository operation."
Any ideas on the problem? Using .NET, 5.01.

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

Homogeneous System Copy - Export Import of RFC's, ALE, Content Repositories

Good Morning,
I have a landscape with a Development and Production Systems with SAP R3 Enterprise 4.70 Ext 110, MaxDB 7.5, HP-UX 11.23. A Homogeneous System Copy is going to be done from Production to Development.
I have a idea to be able to recover the RFC's, ALE and Content Repositories Information after the Copy, which is to create a transport order with the structures which contain data for the RFC's definition, the ALE configurations and definitions and the Content Repositories configurations and definitions in Development and after the copy, transport the orders back to Development. The problem is that i don't know which structures should i use, and if my idea is viable?
For example, if i go to transaction oac0 and look at the content repositories and if i look at the Technical Information, i can see that the fileds with data are from Structure SCMS_SCREP, but my question is, inserting thsi structure in a transport order to import after the copy willbe enough? Aren't there more structures i need to insert in a transport order? And for RFCs and ALE?
Can anyone help me on this matter please?
Kind Regards,
Pedro Gaspar

Hi,
If the target system is being refreshed then first secure any information that you may require.
1) Backup user master and authorization data from each client where this data needs to be retained.
Use transaction SCC8 to export this data. Select profile SAP_USER and specify target system = TARGET_SID.
2) Backup RFC tables to restore destinations afterwards.
the only below tables required to take backup.
Call SE01 and create a new request of type = ""Transport of Copies"" with description = ""Export RFC destination tables prior to system refresh"".Make sure to specify a Target for the request or no data file will be created.
RFCATTRIB
RFCCHECK
RFCDES
RFCDESSECU
RFCDOC
3) ALE / Partner profiles.
Call WE20 and select each partner profile.
Follow menu path ""Partners --> Check"" and obtain a list of tables used.
The only tables listed were the ones listed below.
These tables are client-dependant therefore you will have to logon to each client and call SE01 and create a new request of type = ""Transport of Copies"
EDPP1
EDP13
EDP21
Also document the WE21 --> Ports --> Transactional RFC" section.
Run transaction BD64 and document each configured distribution model. This information is client-dependent so make sure to record values for each required client. and also record RFC destinations for synchronous method calls in BD97.
I hope it will help you.

Kiran .V
