Knowledge Management Recommended Storage Approach (DB vs Network)?

We are starting a knowledge management initiative within sap portal and cannot find documentation that represents best practices on the actual storage approach. Our pilot project started with storing the documents within the database and it was painfully slow. Since then we have switched to a network storage approach and speed has increased greatly.
My main question is:
Is there a white paper or SAP recommended approach and a list of advantages/disadvantages for going one way or the other (Storing documents in the db vs network drive)
We would like to head down the right path before rolling this out and avoid having to switch direction a month or so down the road.
Thank you in advance for any assistance/feedback,
Todd Simon

Yes. But if there are concerns to hold the actual content in the database, there's the DBFS mode to take care of that.

Well, I'd advise not to.

  • Does OVM 3 support network I/O management and storage I/O prioritization

    Does OVM 3 support any QoS setting for networking and/or storage? If so how are they set? I have been looking and can't seem to locate these settings.
    In OVM 2.2 network I/O traffic management and storage I/O prioritization could be set as described in this 2.2 blog posting.

    Thanks

    It is not manageable through the GUI but can be changed in the vm.cfg file. Example:
    vif_other_config = [['00:16:3e:31:d5:4b', 'tbf', 'rate=8mbit,latency=50ms'], ['00:16:3e:52:c4:03', 'tbf', 'rate=10mbit']]

  • Knowledge management Functionality  - C4C

    Hi ,
    I am going to work on C4C project  and this my first C4C project with Marketing Sales and  Service as part of the scope. Our Client also have knowledge management functionality as part of the legacy. My question or my concern is  that I am aware that MIND-TOUCH is knowledge management server which interacts with C4C for the solutions . But currently my client doesn't have any knowledge server to interact with CRM for the solutions.
    I would request you to help me on how the actual  knowledge management Functionality works and different approaches to achieve this solution.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Mahesh

    Hi,
    By integrating an external knowledge base, you enable agents to search for solutions and attach articles to responses without having to leave the workspace. The workspace will also include a list of recommended articles based on an automatic search of the knowledge base using the product and other keywords identified via text analysis as the search parameters.
    •You have an external knowledge base that supports the OpenSearch standard with an RSS or Atom based search API.
    •You know the URL for the API (from your knowledge base vendor).
    •You know the search term input parameter for the API (from your knowledge base vendor).
    You have to enable the knowledge base integration from scoping
    Hope this helps.

  • Query on the 'Allow management operating system to share this network adapter' setting?

    I have a Hyper-V R2 Test box with 2 NICs. The setting 'Allow management operating system to share this network adapter' was enabled by default on the virtual network that was created as part of adding the Hyper-V role. I configured the virtual network to use the 2nd physical NIC on the box that will be dedicated for VM traffic.
    I know that best practise recommends isolating the traffic for host management, and virtual machines between different NICs if possible.
    Interestingly, when i unchecked the 'Allow management operating system to share this network adapter' checkbox, one my of my NICs (the one configured for VM traffic) immediately disappears from view in the list of network adapters. At the same time, wiping the static TCP/IP config I have applied to the NIC. Only the virtual switch and management connections remain visible. If i re-enable the above setting, the missing network adapter re-appears but with its previous statically set config wiped.
    Q1 Is this expected behaviour?
    Q2 In Hyper-V version 1.0, this setting doesn't exist. As such, does that mean the operating system would share the network adapter by default and cannot be disabled from doing so? I assume this is the case, as all of the network adapters are present/visible on the same server, and in the absence of this setting.
    TIA for any advice

    It is not that things are hidden - in fact part of the confusion is that too much is shown - it is that they are moved.
    Lets go back to the beginning (I am going to describe R2):
    If you have a host with two nics and zero External networks - in Network Connections you will see two interfaces.
    Go into the Virtual Network Manager and create an External Virtual Network and bind it to NIC 2 - do not select the option for the management OS to share the network.
    If you look at Network connections you still see two interfaces, but NIC 2 is now bound to the virtual network protocol - it is dedicated to being a port of the External Network.
    This is what happens when you attach a physical NIC to an External Network - it becomes an extension of the External Network - the hypervisor owns it - the management OS does not.
    Now - modify the External Virtual Network and turn on the option to share with the management OS.
    If you look at Network Connections you will see a new (third) interface.
    kThis new interface is a soft interface tht is only exposed to the management OS by the hypervisor - it is a virtual NIC that is attached to the External Network - thus allowing the management OS to share the physical NIC 2 with all the other 'domains'.
    In the hypervisor language a 'domain' is a generic way to describe a system managed by the hypervisor - the parent (managemetn os) is domain 0 (dom0) and any VMs are domain 1 through n.  Therefore the management OS doe snot own the hardware, the hypervisor does - the management OS just handles managing the VMs and making sure they all play well with each other as well as creation and description, and managing networking and storage.   But it is really a special VM.

    Hello,
    KMC (Knowledge Manageent and Collaboration) is the SAP EPs functionality for providing a central approach to a companies unstructured and distributet document storages and informations.
    KW (Knowledge Warehouse) is meant for documentation, training materials and (quality-management) manuals.
    Since NW04s, both functionalities are part of the IT scenario "enterprise knowledge management".
    There's always a lot of misunderstanding about which functionality is provided by which tool, hopefully, the two will be merged into one functionality, but this might be only my opinion.
    For further questions concerning KW, you can as well contact me directly, this forum is mainly for KMC.

  • Siebel Integration with Lotus Knowledge Management Tool

    Hi,
    I am currently working on Siebel 8.1 and have a requirement to integrate it with Lotus Knowledge Management tool.
    Does Oracle provide OOTB adapters for integration for Lotus KM just like Inquira?
    Please let me know.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    I am not able to find any information regarding integration of Lotus Knowlegde Management with Siebel.
    Unless someone else in this forum has an answer, I recommend you to open a Service Request in support.oracle.com to confirm if such integration exists, and if not ask for a product enhancement request for this integration or request another solution that may be suitable. You can also contact IBM to verify if they have performed any validation using both products.

  • Knowledge Managament and  SAP HR Documents

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement regarding Knowledge Management and the module SAP HR.
    I need to figure out a way of seeing documents generated in SAP HR, using Knowledge Management in our Portal.
    I did some research, and I think we can use DMS as a content server, then, using KPRO we connect the DMS to KM.
    I need to know, if this approach is valid .... or if there is another way of doing this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Andres.

    Dear Biroj,
    Thanks for your answer ....
    It gave me a good direction for our requirement ....
    Anyways, I also found that DMS is not fully compatible with SAP HR. Did you find any problem when you where implementing this requirement?
    As I said before, the main idea is to see SAP HR documents in KM, for example, information of the employees, etc.
    The points have been given.
    Cheers,
    Andres.

    iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps.  I have more space available than needed for the app.  What do I need to do to fix this problem?  Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that? 

    You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
    To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

    Suggestions and ideas are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how XI sends messages to applications like J2EE. In REceiver comm channel, I think we specify about the target system like J2EE appl.
    Aadapter Type: HTTP

    in this example if am correct?
    Then I have given all tyhe necessary setting but my servlet is not able to display XML msg in browser?
    This is my servlet code:

  • How do I manage my storage?

    I have been mulling this over, especially since I lost some projects when I sold my iMac and upgraded to a new MBP. Here is as consise an overview as I can summize -
    I have a MBP with 256 SSD running Logic Pro 9, Reason 6.5 and several plugins such as Camel Audio Alchemy - this SSD is almost full. I Time Machine back up to the 7200rpm 500GB which was replaced by the SSD - this external drive is almost full. I have an additional 1TB 7200rpm drive partitioned into 3; a 135GB (56GB free) back up of my very old G4 (much of which is probably not worth keeping); a 775GB (516GBfree) archive which includes my iMac Time Machine back up (the last back up failed before I safe erased the hard drive prior to selling, probably because I stopped it before it had finished); and a 90GB (60GB free) partition I created thinking I would use this partition for 3rd party loops and samples.
    I am sure the performance of my SSD is already affected by the amount of data on this drive even though I have only been creating new projects on this and sometimes copying old projects onto the SSD to continue reworking etc... and so my issue/query is thus, how do I manage this data/storage?
    Is it a good idea to strive towards only using the MBP with SSD for the program software and presets and try to keep all project files on external HDs?
    I currently have a number of projects doubled up with originals on the 1TB drive and reworking/remixing on the SSD/500GB drive - can/should I amalgamate?
    Similarly I have my own presets on multiple applications in the 2 separate locations, how should I manage this?
    Is having a 3rd party loops and samples partition a good idea?
    Is buying a lacie 4TB thunderbolt throwing good money after a confusing mess and can I continue with my current resources before I need to shell out that much cash?
    I feel like I need an IT department but I'm just a one man band!
    Any advice or support would be very welcome and gratefully received.
    cheers
    Andy

    I have had many of the same issues / dilemmas. Here is my opiniion for what it's worth:
    ANDY - Is it a good idea to strive towards only using the MBP with SSD for the program software and presets and try to keep all project files on external HDs?
    Yes.
    ANDY - I currently have a number of projects doubled up with originals on the 1TB drive and reworking/remixing on the SSD/500GB drive - can/should I amalgamate?
    Yes, I would try and keep them all on one drive
    ANDY - Similarly I have my own presets on multiple applications in the 2 separate locations, how should I manage this?
    What type of presets? I would keep these all together on the system drive as they should be quite small?
    ANDY - Is having a 3rd party loops and samples partition a good idea?
    Yes, kind of. I would have a separate drive for all 3rd party samples and sound libraries.
    ANDY - Is buying a lacie 4TB thunderbolt throwing good money after a confusing mess and can I continue with my current resources before I need to shell out that much cash?
    Maybe. Remember that however big a drive you have, you need to have another one at least as big to back everything up on to. Using time machine in any other way is a real pain.
    So, if it's any help, how I use manage my storage currently is this:
    1 x Macbook Pro with 500GB SSD - This contains all the applications and system data as well as any files I need to take with me if I go anywhere and don't take the external drives (certain MP3s for DJing). All the Logic 'Additional Content' is also on here, but I may need to move that soon (or delete it if I never use it)
    1 x USB3.0 bus powered 2TB WD portable hard drive - This contains all the sound libraries / samples that I need to be loaded quickly. Currently 928GB in total.
    1 x USB2.0 2TB WD external hard drive. This contains all data that doesn't need to be accessed regularly or very quickly (Unused applications, photos, videos, video tutorials, archive of MP3s not used anymore for DJing, and various backups of the internal SSD driver
    Then I would have a 4TB time machine backup external drive - if a WD elements one was available - at the moment they only go to 3TB, so I currently split the backup over 2 other drives manually.
    I also keep my current logic projects (for the current year) on the internal SSD for very quick loading. At the end of the year I move all the old ones I've finished with to the USB2 external drive.
