Content server transport

Hi,
Could someone explain me how to add the content server configuration from tx OAC0 to a transport order?
Thanks a lot and best regards, Beatriz

Hi,
we opened an OSS, this is the reply:
Unfortunately there are no solution for release 4.6C. In release 4.6C
you cannot transport it. You have to crate the repository again in the
target system.
So it´s impossible to transport it.

Content Server refresh

guys,
we are planning a 3 system landscape here for ECC - DEV, QA and PROD. And a two system landscape for Content server - DEV and PROD.
I am planning to connect R/3 DEV and QA to DEV content server (2 different repositories) and R/3 PROD to PROD content server. Now, if i think about it, whenever i refresh R/3 QA with the R/3 PROD data, the document links in QA wouldnt make anymore because the data in DEV content server wouldnt match anymore. So does this mean I will also have to refresh the DEV content server with PROD content server everytime I refresh R/3? Is there an easier way out ?
Please advise as to what you all have seen or done in other projects.
thanks,
RS

Hi,
I had the same scenario in the past and I did below things:
1) Dev and QA system connected to same content server but with different repositories.
2) Repository of QA system has same name as production server repository.
3) So, when we refresh QA from PRD then same content repository will come in the quality system, you just need to change content repository settings in QA system. After do the below step:
Relocating Using Export and Import
    Ensure that no new data is saved to the affected repositories during the relocation procedure.
    Use report RSCMSEX to export the repository.
    Create a repository of the same name on the target content server and change the Customizing of the repository so that it points to the target content server.
    Import the data into the target repository using report RSCMSIM.
    Delete the relocated repositories from the source content server.
The program sapkprotp controls the export and import. sapkprotp is started on the application server by default. If required, you can start sapkprotp on the content server or on another server. To set this up, enter an RFC destination when starting the report. Set the path of the transport file relative to sapkprotp.
You should use this option if sapkprotp is not available on the application server (so far, sapkprotp is not available for AS/400). You should also use it if the content server is at a remote location, to avoid the data being transferred twice over the WAN.
Thanks

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.

Document Migration from CRM to SAP Content Server

We are going live with SAP CRM 7.0 next week. CRM team configured some of applications like ITSM, Change Request Management and Transport Request database also as part of implementation.
We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.
We do not have content server in place yet and planning to implement sometime in Feb. I am trying to explore ways how we can export existing documents created in CRM and migrate to Content server and link it.
Any ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks,
Miral.

In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

Migration of SAP DMS documents from RFC Archive to SAP HTTP Content Server

Can anyone verify the correct OSS for the migration of documents from an RFC Archive repository (non SAP) in SAP DMS to a SAP Content Server HTTP Repository. Most of the OSS notes seem to indicate HTTP to HTTP migrations or based storage category migrations.
Which is the most suitable for this?
Edited by: Athol Hill on Oct 30, 2009 2:35 PM

Dear Athol,
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
Best regards,
Christoph

Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I

I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.

Content Repository Transport

Hi
We have separate Content Server for dev and Prodtn instance.. I made content repositories in oac0 T-code and transported the same to Quality and production systems.. The storage categories were copied, but the content repository names are not getting copied in transport..
So wat is best practice here.. Do we have to create a new content repository in production content server and connect it with SAP production server??.. I tried the same , but its asking for transport request..
But then why it is not getting transported from development system??.. Or we have to create transport request in production and save the new content repository??
Regards
Aby

Hi Rohit,
Thanks for the reply... I have done as follows
In SAP Dev instance I conncted dev Content server and created 3 repositories and 3 storage categories..
It was tested in testing client of devlopment and everything was perfect..
While transporting to production system, the repository names were not copied .. Only storage category names came which were created in oact transaction..
I want to know the best practice followed.. I am just wondering why the repsoitory names are not coming along with the transport..
I created resposities in dev server using csadmin and oac0 transactions..
Regards
Aby

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

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)       imported: 3 (excluded: 0, failed: 0)
Could/should we use a higher version on the target system?

Content Server link in CV01N

Dear All,
I was in the process of configuring content server for an ECC 6.0.
I had installed the content server version 4.6 in a separate system and its working well.
Then i finished all the configurations relating to creation of repository and linking it to content server through CSADMIN.
But when i go to CV01N, its not showing any link checking-in my attached document into CS.
Am i missing anything???
kindly clarify.
Regards,
Samar

Hi Samarpan
We use the term secure storage area to define a storage location that, for security reasons, cannot be accessed using the file manager of the front-end computer. The storage data is displayed in the document info record only in the storage category. The path in the file system and the file name are not displayed. Original files that are stored in a secure storage area can only be processed using the Document Management System.
You can use the storage system as a secure area. The secure area is where data is transported to using the Knowledge Provider. The data transfer is done using the SAP HTTP Content Server interface. This interface ensures that communication with external storage systems only uses industry standards such as HTTP and BAPIs. This can also ensure that your storage system operates correctly in Internet and intranet environments.

Content server issue SICF

Hi guys,
i am facing an issue with the TCODE SICF. when i follow the path default_host/bc/content server and when we double click the content server there is a Logon data tab. now when we give the client ,user name and password details it gets saved in a request. now when i release the same request into the QAS server the same details does not get saved in SICF. instead the service gets disconnected. is there anyway that the details can be saved in the QAS and PROD servers without the request being generated in these servers.right answers will be aptly rewarded with points.

I'm not sure what you mean with "save in a request". Is that a "transport request"?
Well, since the logon data entered in an ICF service is always referring to a local account (type "SERVICE user") it does not make sense to transport that data - in the target system the user might not exist or at least will have a different password. So, after transporting the ICF service you need to assign the (local) logon data, again.
For security reasons, any newly imported ICF services are deactivated (like after installation) - since it is not clear whether they are really required and thus need to be active. I'm not sure whether this is also the case if the service used to be activated before and was only updated by importing the transport request.

Error While defining the content server

Dear Folks,
We are trying to define the content sever in our sever. It is required for integration of SAP with documentum. We are trying to define in below path.
Cross-Application Components - Document Management - General data - Settings for storage systems - Maintain storage system -
It already have DMS_C1 content repository with storage type R/3 database. We are creating a new content repository with storage type HTTP Content Server. We are giving below inputs.
Vesion No. 0045, HTTP Server - (My machine's FQDN and port is 8080), HTTP script as - sap/bc/contentsever/300.
After giving above inputs, if I click on test connection, I m getting error as Error in HTTP Access:IF_HTTP_CLIENT -> RECIEVE1 ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.
If I define the HTTP content sever as sap-qas.vsnl.co.in (i.e. My quality servers host name) it works fine i.e. connection test goes OK. Does any one know how we can define the content server and what all steps required for the same?
Thanks and Regards,
Kedar

Hi Kedar,
YOu have to provide the details as fallows
Storage type : HTTP content server
Version no. : 45 (based on the content server version)
HTTP server : <content server IP>
Port Number of content server : 1090 (default port)
HTTP Scrip : ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
Once after these details you can check
Also install the DBM gui in your local PC and add this content servers database (if the content server is on MAX DB) then you need to star it from the console or else use the command to start it once after the installation.
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -d <SID> -u control,plmcont db_state - to check the database status
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -d <SID> -u control,plmcont db_online - to start the database

Content Server 6.40 Presents a Save As dialog for ContentServer.dll file

hi All
we have installed successfully the content server 6.40 on a windows 2008 with iis 7 environment. The installation wen successfully with no errors. however when we run a test by calling the URL http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo URL, instead of getting a response, we are getting a save as file dialog to save the dll file. Also, after the installation, even with the install website tick checked, the website was not installed. we had to do the installation of the website manually for the port.
With content server 620 on windows 2000 this was never the case
if anywone has an idea on how to resolve the issue, please advice
Regards
Ronny

GOT the Solution
to anyone else who could be going through the same issue, see if the solution below solves your issue
The website should get created if all the roles in IIS 7.0 are installed. Therefore, please try to install the IIS 7.0 by selecting
all the roles followed by installation of the SAP Content Server. By doing so, websites should be created automatically.
In the IIS 7.0, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default. Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0 is installed, as per the installation manual for the Content Server on Windows 2008:
Roles needed in IIS 7.0.
Common HTTP Features
Static Content
Default Document
Directory Browsing
HTTP Errors
HTTP Redirection
Application Development
ISAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filters
Health and Diagnostics
HTTP Logging
Logging Tools
Request Monitor
Tracing
Custom Logging
ODBC Logging
Security
Basic Authentication
Windows Authentication
Request Filtering
Note : Anonymous Authentication should be enabled which is done by
default.

That simply sounds like the PATH for libucb.so.1 is not maintained in your env variables.
That should fix the problem

The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods. One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc. However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.

Error on update of document stored in content server

Error on update of document stored in content server
On a regular basis (but not reproducible) we find that after updating a document, it is deleted from content server (or at least it cannot be retrieved). These problems have only been experienced since we switched to using content server as our storage repository, as opposed to R/3.
We create and maintain documents through a bespoke transaction, which calls standard SAP functions BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREA_TAB and cl_bds_document_set=>update_with_table.
Whilst the errored documents are listed in the BDS via transaction OAOR (business document navigator), an error is received when you try to display it (in our case an MS-Word error indicating file/pathname invalid).
We are satisfied that file/pathname are valid and find that this occurs occasionally when a document has been updated. It appears that the document has been deleted.
This bespoke transaction has been running successfully for almost two years, and these problems have only been experienced after switching to content server as a storage repository (as opposed to R3 previously). Has anyone else experienced these problems?
We are running :
R/3 Enterprise 620,
SAP HTTP Content Server Version 6.30 Patch 13
SAPDB version 7.3.0.54

Hi Sonny,
To check the connectivity between your content server and Workstation and SAP Server.
Pls goto the command prompt of your workstation
give the command like this example.
C:\>Ping 117.123.45.201
you will get the reply from the server. here 117.123.45.201 is your content server IP.
If you are getting the reply then it means that your contentserver and workstation are connected propely.
Like that pls check the connectivity between your systems.
Pls check the hosts file of your systems also.
If the hosts file entry is not maintained, you can check-out file from content server but you cannot check-in the original.
Pls let me know what kind of error Message you are getting?
From where you are trying to check-in the Original? From the DIR screen or from CAD Desktop screen?

MRK
