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.

Server storage sizing for PI7.1

Hello,
What should be recommended HDD storage on a development / production PI7.1 server? Whether it is possible to control the log created by PI7.1 on the Oracle database server?

Vandana.

> What should be recommended HDD storage on a development / production PI7.1 server?
Did you do a sizing with your hardware vendor?
> Whether it is possible to control the log created by PI7.1 on the Oracle database server?
What do you mean with "control the log"?

Why seperate DMS server is used

hi, all,
this is benakarajes hey i have some clarification,

a] why the separate DMS server[content server]installed.
b] is this mandatory to install separete server for DMS.

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,

How I COULD CHECK files are storing in DMS server or DNS server.

Hi, all,
I am storing DMS files ie originals in DMS_C1_ST through Kpro,
Because we have DNS server and DMS server.
Now I m working in Production server,
How I can check the DMS files is storing in DMS server or in DNS server.
The DMS configuration is working fine but I donu2019t know how I could check whether the files or storing in DMS server or in DNS server. Or any other configuration is required.
urgent.
Rgds,
Ben

Hi,
If u r using DMS_C1_ST storage category, then ur original are checking in to SAP data base, because, this category is created using SAP database.If ur using separate content server for storing originals, then create content repository in ur content server and storage category in content repository.
Now while checking in, system will ask u to choose storage category, instead of selecting DMS_C1_ST , select which u have created in ur content server, then ur originals will store in DMS content server.

Connection Settings between Content Server and DMS server

Dears,
I installed DMS server and Content Server,Now I need to do connection settings between these server.
Both are installed on seprate servers.
So please suggest what are the steps to set connection between these servers.
Shivam

Hi all,
I installed the Content Server with DB instance. ECC on AIX and the Content Server on Windows are on different domains and wanted to integrate. After the installation what I did is as follows...
I am trying to create the Content Repository using the Tx- OAC0, given the the following details as
Content Repository name--- DMS_xxxx
Document Area - DMS
Storage Type -- HTTP Content Server
Version -0046
HTTP Server --- fully qualified host name of the Content Server
Port Number --- 1090
HTTP Script --- ContentServer\ContentServer.dll
Physical Basic Path--- (initially) -
/usr/sap/<ECCSID>/SYS/global/
(modified) --- E:\ContentServer\ -
not available, thought it will create, even created later
Physical archive path --- SAME as Physical Basic Path
When I check the connection, I am getting an error "Content repository DMS_xxxx does not exists.
When I check Tx- CSADMIN-- it gives an error saying the "HTTP error : 4010 (authorized) ' Permission denied: adminContRep&configSet"
I am not sure what user should i use for this and what should be the information of ContentStorageHost, ContentStorageName and Storage need to be provided.
Please help me in this....

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.

Murali.S

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.

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.

Win 7 Pro x64 Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

I installed Win 7 Pro x64 on a reasonably decent machine (Nvidia nForce 680i SLI, core 2 duo, 4 gig ram). It was a clean install on a freshly formatted partition. While copying a large bunch of files from another machine on the LAN, I get "Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command." It does give me the option to retry and continue, but the error inevitably pops up again later during the copy. Googling the error, I found a reference to it, suggesting I go to the registry and increase the IRPStackSize (but this article was not specific to Win 7). I tried increasing it as high as 32 hex. This reduces the frequency of the error, but does not eliminate it completely. Also, I now see a new error sometimes that says, "Too many files are currently in use. Quit one or more programs and then try again." That's odd, because I don't have anything else running. I haven't seen these errors when copying files to different partitions on the machine, so I assume it's something to do with network.

Hi,
To troubleshoot the issue, please try to do an In-Place Upgrade to repair the system.
1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
a. Click the Start Button, type Drive:\setup.exe in the start search box and then click OK.
Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
b. Click Install now.
4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
Thanks,
Novak

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

Not enough server storage is available to process this command

Windows XP Pro x32 Connecting to Windows 8.1 Pro x64
I am trying to map a share on a Windows 8.1 Pro x64 machine (Surface Pro 3 512GB) to a drive letter on a Windows XP Pro x32 machine. I get an error saying:
Not enough server storage is available to process this command
I did a search and found:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/106167
which says to increase (or set if it doesn't exist) the value of IRPStackSize in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Since the item didn't exist I created it and set it to 0xC (the maximum recommended value).
I then rebooted the Surface Pro 3 (Windows 8.1 Pro).
When I tried to map the share again I got the same error message.
Is this a Windows XP problem or a Windows 8.1 problem? In either case how do I get around it?
Please do not respond with a suggestion to upgrad the Windows XP machine. It is running software and accessing hardware that will not work with a later version of Windows.
http://www.saberman.com
Edit:
It appears to only be a problem in access shares on USB attached drives. There is no problem in access shares on the Surface Pro 3's C: drive. Is this a known problem?

>Have you tried to map the drive from the Windows 8.1 to the Windows 7 machine ?
Yes and it worked before I created IRPStackSize in the Windows 8.1 registry.
I increased IRPStackSize on the Windows 8.1 machine to decimal 50 and was able to map the Windows 8.1 share onto my Windows XP machine.
I noticed that the article at the link:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/106167 said.
Note Values may range from 0x1 to 0xC. These values are equivalent to 1 to 12 in decimal notation.
There is an article at:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/285089 that said:
The default value of the IRPStackSize parameter is 15. The range is from 11 (0xb hexadecimal) through 50 (0x32 hexadecimal).
Whereas the article at the external site said to keep making it larger until it works.
BTW, my Windows 7 and Windows XP machines have MSE for proctection. Windows 8.1 has Windows Defender. No third party software.

How to monitor Library Server storage?

I can't figure out how to monitor the Library Server storage in VMM console. The VMM server is the only library server and it's using an iSCSI lun.
I just want to know how much space is available on the storage for the library server.
any ideas?
Do i need to configure it as a provider with SMI-S??

I installed Nagios Core in my Ubuntu workstation 10.04 for me to learn something new in my craft. I use this now to monitor our Windows Server 2008 with MySQL server installed as well as our Datalink Switch (DGS-1210-24). I searched on google on how to monitor a MYSQL server installed in Windows server using Nagios Core but i could not seem to find any. Could anybody who's expert in Nagios give me steps on how to do so. Thanks. All i found in google were steps in monitoring mysql installed in linux and nothing in windows server.

DMS Server Separate from R/3 server

Dear all;
Please tell me if we are using DMS server different from the R/3 server what configuration should be done .will it be done by ABAPer and or some additional configuration is required here?
Thanking you;
Regards;
Joydeep Mukherjee

Hi Joydeep,
DMS solution is part of ECC4.6,5.0,6.0 offering. It only needs to be turned on/configured. You would need a content,cache server/s in DMS for parking your documents based on your requirements.DMS configuration is done by a Functional Consultant,Content Server setup is Basis associates' responsibility and enhancements are managed by an ABAPer.
