DMS server sizing calculation

HI Gurus,
My client has given that Finance department is generating documents around 20 GB per month (includes all types of format) now i have to create the Server sizing for this 20 GB kindly help on how to proceed. Is there is any standard calculation for this.
Regards
Kannan

Recommended approach for managing Finance documents is SAP Archivelink solution(refer previous posts in forum).
Content server sizing is a separate exercise that you need to carry out in conjunction with your Basis team and the customer. Capture details along parameters like Office/Plant from where docs would be accessed, the available network bandwidth,number of users,number of transactions per day,maximum size of a single file,number of documents generated/day that would be uploaded and the growth plan for the next 3 years.Once done,the Basis team will provide you with details like CPU,RAM,OS,bandwidth and hard disk space that would be needed from which the cost can be calculated.

DMS Server storage sizing

Hi All,
We have configured a DMS server 2 years back for test purpose which works fine.
The free hard disk space on this server is only 4 GB and it is a windows based system.
The RAM is 9 GB.
We are planning to go for a full fledged DMS usage, I need your recommendation on the
system sizing.
Please share your expriences as I am too sure about the data growth.

HI Ashutosh,
Download the Content server Installation Guide and read the section
Points to Consider Before Installation
You will get idea of required DB space.

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.

Exchange Server Sizing - Online Users

I am able to use the Exchange server sizing spreadsheet to determine server size, disk IOPS, memory capacity but it assumes that all users are in cached mode. How do I calculate if all of my users are using online mode. This is a setup where
we cannot use cached mode but we are having trouble sizing it properly.

Hi David,
as far as I know there is no detailed sheet to calculate the IOPS for online mode users based on the role requirements calculator.
Nevertheless you still can calculate estimated IOPS as per
http://blogs.technet.com/b/greg_katz_-_messaging_in_education/archive/2008/05/12/cached-mode.aspx , there is assumed online Clients required 1.5 x IOPS compared to cached mode clients. (From my personal experience, it's more 2x IOPS.)
So you can still create the IOPS profile as shown at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832791(v=exchg.141).aspx and use that value for your Input to cell "IOPS Profile / Mailbox" on the role requirements sheet. Use the IOPS Multipülication factor to control that.

Martin

Linux Server Sizing

Is there any documentation on server sizing? I have a client/server application that will have between 100 and 200 users (75-100 concurrent), and would like to go to a Linux platform. The app is currently running on a large HP server with other apps on it, but I want this to be dedicated on the Linux machine. I contacted Oracle and they were no help.
Thanks

Hi,
Is there any documentation on server sizing?Andy Rivenes has published a nice test script to perform a Logical I/O test rate. Because physical I/O is disk/network intensive and logical I/O (a consistent get from the data buffer cache) is CPU-intensive, this script is useful for calculating the workload capacity of Oracle servers with large buffer caches (i.e. a 64-bit Oracle server).
http://www.appsdba.com/sql/cpu_test.sql
This script computes logical I/O per second for the given processor(s), and assuming that logical I/O is CPU-centric, this script will give a high-water-mark (HWM) for buffered I/O throughput, a critical metric for Oracle server capacity planning.
As to documentation, there are no formulas in text form that I know of, but there are capacity planning spreadsheets for sale that are used for Oracle Linux server sizing:

Why seperate DMS server is used

hi, all,
this is benakarajes hey i have some clarification,
in DMS implementation,
a] why the separate DMS server[content server]installed.
b] is this mandatory to install separete server for DMS.
rdgs
ben

Hi,
DMS sizing (content server sizing) is an extra space provided to DMS documents apart from standard SAP Database storage.
this storage is mainly preferred where large amount of files (documents) need to be stored.
If standard SAP database is used then this will lead load on ECC server.
in order to avoid this, DMS content server is used.
Attributes considered are,
1) size of the content server depending upon the volume of documents in terms of word/excel/autocad etc per year and for projected 3-4 years.
2) depending upon the size of the content server estimated in 1, selection of hardware is required.
3) the platform on which this content server would be installed, it may be maxdb, 2003 server or unix etc.
hope this helps U..!
Thank You,
Manoj

SAP DMS server installation Query

Guys,
I would like to share my plans on DMS server installation under DEV,Quality,prod stage and requesting you all to validate and send me any comments if I am wrong anywhere.
-        We have 1 external DMS server of (250Gb capacity)
-     We are now in realization phase, As we know that we have 3 servers namly Development, quality and production server.
-     In Development Server we do Baseline DMS customization
-     In Quality server we do Integration testing
-     There will be as external computer with harddisk capacity of 80 GB,I will Install Content server CD and make that 80GB hard disk as content server for storing the documents, create content repository and store the documents which are to be tested under both development and quality server stage(Note : we can use SAP database for both testing purpose but If we load huge data there,it will slowdown the server drastically)
-     During the production server install the DMS server (250 gb) and define the content repository config under production server and start storing all the fresh document
-     Note: Since the tested documents are stored in local PC we can avoid all the tested documents under quality stage only,once the DMS server is installaed in production server we can freshly load the documents.
-     Note: I knew I have to install twice the Content server cd(once with 80 GB local hard disk and later with External DMS server)
This is how I planned, I request you to highlight the pain areas by this method else give me the confidence of how I planned?
I appreciate for immediate solution; also how does Kpro comes into picture here.
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S
DMS consultant

Hi Murali,
As per my understanding you want to keep a Temporary Content Server for your Dev & QA system but a full fledge 250GB Content server for Production.
This is a Good method you are following, i.e. when you go for production you will not have any junk data, you will be loading only fresh data (originals) into it.
There is nothing harm or pain in doing this, only thing is you have re-configure the Content Repository and Category in Production System (SAP).
Your Basis person has to open Production System for doing this Settings (Defining Content Repository and Content Category with Port, HTTP, etc)
Document Area to be ensured in each client at any point of time, Physical machine, IP address, Port etc.
You can maintain a Excel sheet with a following Columns:
<b>Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port.</b>
For Transaction OACT & OAC0.
Rest your method is fantastic.
Best Regards
Rehman

Uploading & Downloading Files into DMS Server using Web Dynpro Java

Hello Friends,
      I want to Upload a file from Portal to Document Management Server and to Download a file from Document Management Server to Portal, In short, I want to give the user the facility to Upload a File into DMS Sever via Portal and also to download the file from DMS Sever via Portal.
Can anybody give me a Input for the same from Both Java Development End as well as ABAP End, more inputs are required from ABAP end, since i have a very less ABAP Experience on working with DMS. Few Questions i have in my mind?
1. How to actually access the file contents with the help of Document Number?
2. With the help of Doc-Number we can extract the file from DMS sever but to provide a option for downloading in portal, the   RFC should convert the File Contents into X-String or is there some other way?
+3. While Uploading the Data should be given in Which format to RFC? Are there any limitation with respect to size or formats. Is there any Standard RFC i can use directly in WD4 Java application to upload the file into DMS Server and which will return me the Document Number? +
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Thank You.

Avoid storing shopping cart attachment in DMS server

Hi Experts,
I had an issue in SRM extended classic scenario. When attaching a scanned copy of manual PR in the shopping cart stores the data in both DMS and filenet server. Due to image file the DMS server gets hanged due to this overload..
pls guide to to avoid this issue.
Naveen

Hi Atul
Thanks for your input, but the client business process is different. Archieving of file in the DMS is also done, but eventhough it occupies space in the server and getting down the process.
Is there any mandatory requirement for the set up, as all the attachments should go to the external data base (filenet) Via DMS or can we skip the DMS and save the attachment in the external database server.
Please give some light to proceed further.

Oracle Server Sizing

Hello.
I'm looking for some advice on server sizing.
I currently work a small/medium sizing manufacturing company. We are currently using a mix of different versions of FoxPro (cringe) and are in the process of planning an upgrade path to Oracle.
We have about 10-15gb of corporate data in foxpro tables and have roughly 50 users, probably only 15-30 concurrently accessing data at any given point during the day.
We have 3 data entry staff who would do the bulk of the transactions, the remaining users sporadically query the data sporadically throughout the day.
It's very hard for me to determine querires per minute though, but I would guess it's easily under 500 per minute (that's at least double what I really think it is)
I am hoping to run Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Linux or Windows.
Can anybody offer me some advice to what type of hardware I will require?
I am hoping to be able to run:
Single P4 or AMD64 in the 3GHz+ range
2Gb+ RAM
RAID 5, 3 x 36GB, 15000RPM disks (possibly 1 online spare)
We aren't a big company, so Oracle licensing cost is a major factor as to which direction we plan for - a multi processor version of Oracle 10g is many times more expensive than a single processor edition.
What hardware would you recommend?

You're probably more in the 10g Standard Edition One camp ($5,000 per CPU for a perpetual license) than just a plain Standard Edition ($15,000 per CPU for a perpetual license) since you're not going to be using servers that support more than 2 CPU's.
Without knowing more about exactly how expensive the queries are (i.e. whether you have users periodically looking up the list of widgets that go into a particular product or whether you have users looking through years of past history, aggregating sales by quarter, by region, and by 14 other dimensions), I'd wager that a single CPU box with 2 GB of RAM would be more than enough. If you anticipate growing quickly in the next few years, it might make sense to buy a machine that was capable of running 2 CPU's with only 1 installed right now.

DMS server error

Hi All,
Iu2019m getting an error in Transaction OAC0 while clicking on the Test Connection button. The message number is CMS025 (HTTP error: 401 Unauthorized).
Pl. help us to resolve the issue as because of that we are not able to use DMS server for creating the document and checking-in the documents in the DMS server and also not able to view the documents that are already checked-in the DMS server.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi All,
The issue was finally resolved.Steps I followed are as follows:
Reason: One of the hard disc got accidentally disconnected and server went down.
Solution: When hard disc was recovered our DMS server gets restarted but still it gave error "401: unauthorized" in tcode CSADMIN. Tried everything I know, searched in Google. Even run the below commands
dbmcli db_enum
dbmcli inst_enum
xinstinfo
sdbregview -l
sdbverify
And all shows DMS sever is fine. Then we raised an OSS to SAP and SAP gave us one program
"Go to SE38: Report RSHTTP20"
Give the values as below: In URI  Give the URL which you provided in your browser.
http://192.168.10.XX:1090/contentServer/contentserver.dll?serverInfo
RFC destination: SAPHTTPA
and the rest of the values let them be the default values. Do not change. Execute."
And then concluded the error response is from the IIS side and needs to be resolved by the vendor.We even checked the IIS service and there was no error.Finally we restarted all the Microsoft services again and it just started.
Thanks to all those who has given their valuable time to help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh

Oracle 10g server sizing information

We are planning to implement WEBMTHODS and METAMATRIX tool. These apps require Oracle database. We are planning 3 HP rp4410 servers running HP-UX 11i. One foe WEBMETHODS APP, ONE FOR METAMATRIX. BOTH APPS are using one ORACLE DB server.
I am looking some type of ORACLE 10g server sizing information to support ny hardware configuration. Can someone help me where to find this information?
Thanks.

Hi
What is AFAIK? As Far As I Know
Can you send the contact info?Unless you're not living in the same country (please see my profile), I don't think it would make any sense. I do know that hp.at offers sizing information.
If you are refering to Just HP support I did contact
them. They asked me to contact Oracle. I am looking
for some guideline documentation.So thing are a bit different in your country ...
