How to archive data which is in sap content server

Hi Experts,
We are facing issue with data stored in content server. With the time the data which is in content server is increasing and reaching the size limitation of content server. We want to archive data which is already present in content server.
Is there any stategy for this and how we can archive the data which is already inside sap content server.
Thanks.

Thanks Ajay,
It really helps to ansewer some of my questions.
I would like to ask some more information for content server to you. As you said content server will allow to increase the database size upto 64TB and advise for the either of the 2 activiteis.
1. If I shift the data which is old to some other storage, should that storage device be connected to content server.
e.g If I have decided to store data on some file system I have to connect file system with the content server with the specific driver for file system.
2. Next you said to install new content server, but as I know content server provide us the facility to connect to various instances of database system if one of the instance reaches its limit of 64 TB, so would it be good to install some other instances of database or the new sap conent server.
3. Which storage media (File system and Instance of Database) is prefferable in terms of cost and security to enhance the scalability of content server.
Thanks.

How to see documents checked-in to SAP Content Server ?

Hi ,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I did not find anything more pertinent.
We have a scenario in ECC 5.0 which we are attaching PDF/etc document to SAP DMS Document records in Tcode CV01N/CV02N . Subsequently we check-in those originals to the SAP Content Server. All this is working just fine as the underlying settings for the content repository in Tcode CSADMIN is appropriately set.
Is there a way to monitor how many and which documents have been checked in to the SAP COntent server. In the 46C/47 days, we used to go to Tcode OAAD and get a count & list of all documents that have been shipped to a content repository. In the scenario for SAP Content server, I'm unable to use this tcode to get the information.
Is there another tcode that will give me the information on the documents linked to the Content Server ?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Some questions regarding SAP Content Server / Knowledge Warehouse

Hi,
we are thinking about SAP Knowledge Warehouse which needs the SAP Content Server.
Is it possible to install the Conent Server together with a Solution Manager System where we would like to use the Knowledge Warehouse functionallity? The Conent Server needs his own database instance. Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?
What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40? Is there no 7.0? What about the future of the Content Server?
We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine? What about the database? Can I use the already installed DB of solution manager?
Thanks ahead
Bernd

Is it possible to install the Conent Server together with a Solution Manager System where we would like to use the Knowledge Warehouse functionallity?
If you have enougth resourses why not?
The Conent Server needs his own database instance.
This is are not true, you can install content server without MAX DB.
Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?
Again why not, if you have correct max db version per PAM for content server (you need 2 DB instance second are for cache server) check pam for NW 7.0 (the PDF document) you find information about content server requirements here and in page --> Database components on same NW 7.0 PAM.
What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40?
6.40 are last version,
We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine?
Your OS are ? I'm install cont server 6.40 on system where NW 7.0 are installed without problem, do not know about NW EHP1 .... Good backup are start point .....

How to compare date which is greatest date

iam new to sql
how to compare date which date is greatest date with example

SELECT eno, ename, GREATEST (TBLE.MAX1, TBLE.MAX2) recent_date "
               FROM (SELECT TBLA.eno, TBLA.ename, "
               MAX (TO_CHAR (TBL.date1, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI') "
               ) MAX1, "
               MAX (TO_CHAR (TBL.date2, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI') "
               ) MAX2 "
               FROM dual TBL, dual2 TBLA
in above query if any one of the date having null value then recent_date is showing 'null'
and also it showing wrong value
example
date1='08-22-2009' and date2='01-23-2010' then it showing wrong recent_datel ike='08-22-2009'
as according my knowledge it is comparing with month it sholud not be like this wat i have to do pls explain with example my o/p should come for recent_date like =''01-23-2010''
Edited by: user9112274 on Aug 27, 2010 5:31 AM

Hi,
there are numerous ways to compare dates, i give you some examples:
with data_Sample as
(select to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy') d1, to_date('01-mar-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') d2, to_date('03-feb-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') d3 from dual)
select greatest(d1,d2,d3) from data_Sample
GREATEST(D1,D2,D3)
3/1/2002
with data_Sample as
(select to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy') d1 from dual union all
select to_date('01-mar-2002','dd-mon-yyyy')   from dual union all
select to_date('03-feb-2002','dd-mon-yyyy') from dual)
select max(d1) from data_Sample
MAX(D1)
3/1/2002
declare
d1 date :=to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy');
d2 date :=to_date('01-jan-2001','dd-mon-yyyy');
begin
if d1>d2 then
dbms_output.PUT_LINE('d1 greater than d2');
else
dbms_output.PUT_LINE('d1 less or equql than d2');
end if;
end;
output:
d1 less or equal than d2now concerning your question:
>
can i use to_char to compare date
>
If you have date data types : don't convert them.
if you have no choice, use something like:
if to_char(d1,'YYYYMMDD') > to_char(d2,'YYYYMMDD') then
else
end if;Take care when you convert a date into a char format it becomes string comparison (with all it implies) (It's the reason why i've use an explicit mask format).

How to Access data from SAP Content Server through SAP Portal

Hi Experts,
I want to aceess the data from SAP Content server through portal. Currently I am working on LSO business package. The SAP content server should work like Webdav as we uses KM as webdav.
I am trying to use this URL into the CMS address but it is not working
http://XXX-XXX-XXXX:1090/ConTentServer/ContentServer.dll?adminContRep&operation=docIdList&contRep=ZADGAS_LSO
Is there any other procedure for acceesing the DATA from SAP content server. ?
Thanks,
Ahmad

If your Content Server is being used by DMS, then you can use the DMS Connector for KM. This connector allows all documents stored in DMS to be accessed in Portal as if they are stored in KM. For more info see this:

Archiving to SAP Content Server/MaxDB: TCP/IP errors when deleting in paral

Dear experts.
We are struggling to get the optimal setup for archiving to SAP Content Server using MaxDB. After running one or more archiving jobs for a few hours we suddenly loose connection to the Content Server, and we need to restart the content server before continueing. We long thought it was the logspace which was running full, but this was eliminated. Now it seems as the error occurs when 4 or more deletions jobs is running in parallel. (Write->Store->Delete).
The run-times on a typical archiving job for about 3 GB data would be W: 3000sec S:40sec D: 12000sec. In general the delete job takes about 3 times the write-job.
Everything seems fine until one suddenly get the TCP/IP error after some heavy archiving jobs.
Have anyone experienced anything like this, and are there any good ideas on how to avoid this?
Thank you very much for your inputs on this.

We were running 3 parallell delete jobs yesterday, and it all went fine until I started the 4th job, then all jobs stopped immediately. The KNLDIAG file at the exact time of the problem looks like this:

We have not yet looked at the tips regarding the windows errors, but will do that when we get the possibilty. In the mean time; do you read anything from this above? It looks like when several jobs are crashing at the same time there is one which has the "Time limit exceeded" and the rest TCP/IP error.
Could it possibly be the MAXUSERSESSIONS parameter, or are you still leaning towards something outside the database?

How to migrate from SAP content server to OPENTEXT?

We have been using SAP content server as our storage for archived data for years.
Now we plan to start using OPENTEXT to admin our archived data.
How can we use OPENTEXT together with existing SAP content server?
My idea is to treat content server as any other media as as DVD, WORM, etc.
However, I do not see that OPENTEXT can be configured to admin content server .
If so, how to transfer whatever on the content server to IXOS?
We are at Opentext 9.5.x
Please share your experience. Thanks!

hi,
Please refere SNote 1043676.
Also, need to understand the following,
How to move an entire content repository from one content server to another
Sometimes you may need to move a content repository - but not necessarily all the content repositories from one content server to another. This can be done without much drama. Here is a means that I've used in the past:
Use report RSCMSEX to export the repository from the source content server.
Create a repository of the same name on the target content server.
Use Report RSCMSIM to import the repository into the target content server.
Delete the repository from the source content server (if desired!).
The SAP progrm sapkprotp controls the import and export. The ABAP reports allow you to specify the RFC destinations where sapkrpotp runs.
For lager repositories
The programs listed above cannot deal with the whole content repository at the same time. For a slower migration, try using the program RSIRPIRL. This approach allows you to do the migation on a live system.
Create the new content repository on your new content server.
Create the new content category.
If using distribution, distribute the new documents to the new category. otherwise change redirected category for DMS_C1_ST
Relocate using the program.

SAP Content Server Archiving strategy

Hi,
I have installed ECC 6.0 SR3 and SAP Content Server 6.40 recently. Content Server is contains only scanned copies. I want to propose archval strategy for the Content Server.
Any body has document for the same please let me know.
Thanks in advance

hi,
Archiving,
There are both technical and legal reasons for archiving application data. Data Archiving:
· Resolves memory space and performance problems caused by large volumes of transaction data
· Ensures that data growth remains moderate so that the database remains manageable in the long term
· Ensures that companies can meet the legal requirements for data storage in a cost-efficient manner
· Ensures that data can be reused at a later date, for example, in new product development

How to install Apache Web server on my SAP Content Server

Dear Experts,
I am in the process of installaing Content Server in my landscape, i am working on Suse Linux 10 SP2 and planning to install ContentServer 6.30.
I have read the standard SAP installation document for the same and it says that we need to install Apache Web server version 1.3.XX, so i have downloaded the file apache_1.3.27-x86_64-whatever-linux22.tar.
Now i want to know the following before i take any actions on my further installation of the Content Server
What is the difference between Apache and httpd servers (services) are they different or same
Is the file apache_1.3.27-x86_64-whatever-linux22.tar correct to install Web Server on my Linux system
Do i have to download any other httpd files
How to install and start the Web server on my Linux
Waiting for some information
Thanks and regards
BasoKing

You can install a higher apache also (2.2.x), I'd not use the old versions. I'd also not use a "somwhere" compiled apache, you don't now if that version is clean.
I'd rather compile an own one, it's not that difficult:
Note 664384 - Generation info for Apache Web server for SAP Content Server
The result will be a default webserver (httpd) without any unnecessary modules compiled in.

How to save .JPEG Image on SAP CONTENT SERVER?

Hi,
        I am working on online interactive form where i am getting scanned signature as .JPEG image that i want to store on SAP CONTENT SERVER. I am using webdynpro abap tool for application developement .
        Please guide me . Thanks in advance,
Saurin Shah

Hi
You can do it but there is one very critical exception to do it depending on the Webserver that you are using :
1. Is you are using Sunone Webserver then you cannot install multiple instances of CS on the same webserver instance.
And if using IIS then the only thing that you need to do on the webserver front is to restart the Webserver after the second instance is installed so that the webserver picks up the config entries made for the second instance's install.
With Apache webserver you will have make the entry in the httpd.conf for the second instance as you had done for the first instance
Eg for this is :
This is my first instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll"
IdcUserDB cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/weblayout"
<Location /cs2>
     Allow from all
     Order allow,deny
     DirectoryIndex portal.htm
     IdcSecurity cs2
</Location>
This is my second instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll
