Migration of Content Server from win2k3 to win2k8

Hello,
Now we have installed Conteny Server 6.40 on Windows 2008 server.
URL check for the Contenet Server is also working.
We wanted to migrate from Content Server windows 2003 server to Windows 2008 server.
In the process we have successfully taken the Back up of Content Server on win2k3 server and restored it on win2k8 server.
Maxdb is the database that we are using.
Now,i wanted to know what are the steps to be follwoed after the successfull restore.
How to create Respository and regarding of ContentServer.ini file and security folder settings ( they need to be copied and if yes when?).
Please help with your suggestions or giving out some referenece documents.
Thanks,
deepak

It depends largely on how you have installed Content Server but if you check the [Operating Manual for SAP Content Server|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/8c/e9ddbb5d9a524bbb7854d31b963248/frameset.htm] -> Special Procedures ...it should give enough info for your requirements.

Migration of Content Databases from SP 2010 "Domain A" to SP 2013 "Domain B"

Hi there,
I am in the process of planning the migration of my SP Foundation 2010 farm to SP Server 2013. I have tested this previously with the following steps and was successful:-
Backup DB on SP2010 SQL
Restore DB on SP 2013 SQL
Run Test-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Mount the DB - Mount-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –DatabaseServer DomainA\SHAREPOINT –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Convert Web App - Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity
https://intranet.***.com.au -To Claims -RetainPermissions –Force
Now, the goal posts have changed and we may be moving to another domain. Now, when I run
Test-SPContentDatabase command in Step 3 above on Domain B, I get the error Login Failed for 'DomainA\SP_admin'
- which makes sense.
What would be the best way to restore a DB to a new domain?

you have to perform the same steps....you need new account on the new Domain. then you have to run the migrate user command.

Open/edit documents on SAP Content Server from BW?

Hi guys
I have been asked to investigate whether this scenario is possible.
Today we have a SAP Content Server where we save attachments to different kinds of objects. An example could be that we open appropriation request 'S-00123' from IMA11 and attach two different MS Word documents.
In BW I have created several reports that contain these appropriation requests and we would like to be able to attach/edit the files on the content server from the BW report.
Is this somehow possible using RRI or some other functionality?
Might it even be possible by using GoTo --> Documents with the appropriate setup?

Using MS-Sharepoint as a content server from ECC 6.0

Hi, gurus.
From the
[SAP Content Server Installation Guide|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/cfa73246-0a01-0010-71b4-bc21ccb45c99&overridelayout=true]
...you will find this information:
You can find a description of the SAP Content Server Interface in the SAP Library (on the documentation CD or under www.//help.sap.com) under SAP Web Application Server u2192 Basis Services u2192 Knowledge Provider u2192 Content Management Service u2192 SAP Content Server HTTP Interface. If you want to integrate another content server into your network, the new content server must fulfil the requirements of the interface.
My simple question is:
Is it possible to use MS Sharepoint as a content server from ECC 6.0 ?
Please advice.

Hi Athol,
Thanks very much, your answers are very helpful.
To use SharePoint as SAP DMS for document management. We have depend on the 3rd party products like iNet.DM from ERP.Link or Duet Enterprise and separate licenses required for products?
Without this 3rd party products, it is not possible to use SharePoint as SAP DMS?
What is best and cost effective way of achieving this requirement?
Thanks and Regards,
Venky.

Upload / Download document to KM Content Server from WebDynpro Application

I have a requirement where I need to upload / download document into / from KM Content Server from my WebDynpro Application.
Is it technically possible and if Yes, can I get any Sample code for this.

Hi Tahzeeb,
first of all i would point you to the JavaDocs for KMC API.
https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/km/index.html
And here is a small example of reading and storing KM resources.
For reading:
     * Returns a resource as an InputStream from the KM repository
     * at the given path. The IUser is needed for authorization.
     * @param user      IUser for checking authorisation.
     * @param resPath   Path to the KM resource.
     * @return          Requested resource as a stream.
    private InputStream getKmResource(final IUser user, final String resPath)
        throws ResourceAccessException {
        try {
            final IResourceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
            final RID rid = RID.getRID(resPath);
            final IResource kmResource =
                factory.getResource(
                    rid,
                    new ResourceContext(getDeprecatedIUser(user)));
            if (kmResource == null) {
                throw new ResourceNotFoundException(
                    "KM resource not found: " + resPath,
                    resPath);
            return kmResource.getContent().getInputStream();
        catch (WcmException e) {
            throw new ResourceAccessException("Error accessing KM resource: " + resPath, e, resPath);
And for writing:
     * Stores a resource in the KM repository at the given path with the given name and mimetype.
     * Content is taken from the given inputstream.
     * @param user          IUser for checking authorisation.
     * @param resName   Name of the resource
     * @param resPath     Path to the resource
     * @param mimeType MimeType of the resource
     * @param inputStream Resource content
     * @throws ResourceAccessException
    private void putKmResource(
        final IUser user,
        final String resName,
        final String resPath,
        final String mimeType,
        final InputStream inputStream)
        throws ResourceAccessException {
        try {
            final ResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(getDeprecatedIUser(user));
            final RID rid = RID.getRID(resPath);
            final ICollection kmCollection =
                (ICollection) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, rContext);
            if (kmCollection == null) {
                throw new ResourceNotFoundException(
                    "KM resource not found: " + resPath,
                    resPath);
            else {
                IContent kmContent = new Content(inputStream, mimeType, -1);
                IResource kmResource = kmCollection.createResource(resName, null, kmContent);
        catch (ResourceException e) {
            throw new ResourceAccessException("Error accessing KM resource: " + resPath, e, resPath);
        finally {
            try {
                inputStream.close();
            catch (IOException e1) {
                throw new ResourceAccessException("Error closing InputStream when accessing " + resPath, e1, resPath);
Hope that helps for a start.
Best regards,

SAPDB Migration for Content server

Hi Experts
we have a SAP content server 6.3 running on 32 bit windows on SAPDB 7.3 .
We are planning to move this to a Unix box ( AIX or Solaris .. not decided yet). Is there a comprehensive guide available about the procedure we need to follow ?
1. Do we need to upgrade the source DB before migration ?
2. As per MaxDB admin guide database copy from IA32 to unix does not work and as per note 962019 we need to use loadercli. Any tips on loadercli use would be welcome
3. Any relevant information from past experience of similar exercise
4. Does SAP support this migration if we do not buy the MaxDB migration service from SAP ?

Hi there,
> Note"962019" mentions that:
>
> "Note that the target system must be installed at least with 7.6.05 build 11. An upgrade to this version does not help. Stop the target system (shutdown) and delete the database instance (drop database). SAPinst provides the option 'uninstall'. Here, you are led through the uninstalling process. The repeat the software installation with 7.6.05 build 11 or higher."
Yep, this is necessary to make the handling of source databases possible, that still have the _UNICODE parameter set to FALSE.
> I can only find MAXDB 7.6.03 installation CD on SAP SWDC, no 7.6.05 build 11 or higher, can I install 7.6.03 first, then update patch to 7.6.05 or higher?
Actually you don't need the installation CD.
The "patch" package contains everything you need to perform a full installation.
MaxDB patches are not really patches but always full installations.
Therefore you can either use the SDBSETUP or SDBINST tool (make sure to get the path-settings for <indep_data>/<indep_programs>/<dependend_programs> right then!) or you replace the installation package on the 7.6.03 CD you have with the 7.6.05 installation package from the patch download page in the service marketplace [http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain].
Ok, hope that answers your questions.
Make sure to test the procedure before actually trying to perform the migration.
Very often questions and problems come up during the first time the process is done - and if that happens to be your productive migration weekend, well, cross-fingers that you get a MaxDB expert supporter on weekend duty then ...
regards,
Lars

Error while starting Apache WebServer in SAP Content server from sapcs user

Dear Consultants,
We are facing a Issue while staring Apache Server from SAPCS user
We have installed SAP Content server 6.4 with SAP MAX DB 7.6 on RHEL

Hello Gaghan,
From the error it seems that port 80 is being already used. Did you install the second Apache under a different user?
Can you please try using another port?

URL to content server from BI WAD not working

Hello,
I'm facing a problem using BI WAD in the portal ( Portal 7.0). When trying to jump from a BI WAD to display a scanned document hold in the content server( using signed URL generated by the function 'SCMS_URL_GENERATE'), a new window opens but the URL is cut.
For example:
Trying to reach :
http://SUP-CS-60.admin.ulb.priv:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVe
rsion=0046&contRep=DE&docId=E09738751CB99BF19B8B00155D483527&compId=data&acc

i5y3%2Fz5n%2F7E8FnSbpvbY5qxc6g%3D
Shows a new window with :
http://SUP-CS-60.admin.ulb.priv:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?
But of course no document is shown. It seems like the parameters are gone from the URL.
(The URL is not to be suspected as it is working from BEX Analyser. So it seems like the URL is well generated but cut when the portal is making the jump to the Content Server).
Any idea of what could be done to resolve this?
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas

Hello,
I'm still stuck with this problem.
A related question maybe easier:
Is it possible from a WAD to open a document from the Content Server?
Thanks,

Upload documents to DMS content server from other tcodes like MIRO

Hi Experts,
How can I upload my document to DMS content server through transactions like MIRO.

Hi Sunil,
You can't uplaod from different t-code, you need to upload it thru CV01n only. One exception is there which is BDC t-code SHDB for batch uploading. But from other t-code you can't uplaod a document into SAP DMS content server.
One another option is create a z-tcode for the same. i.e. for MIRO create ZMIRO.
In statndard environment you can attache but it will not saved in content server. Only thru CV01n it can be done.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Migrate MOSS 2007 Server from Server 2003 (32-bit) to Server 2008

I have a client with MOSS 2007 installed on Windows Server 2003, and a database server (SQL 2005) also on Server 2003. they have two new Windows Server 2008 servers, and they wish to do a migration. They have custom Features, including Event Receivers
installed in their environment.
Do I need to install the 32-bit edition of MOSS 2007 on the new server in order to be able to use the pre-compiled custom Features used in the current server?
My plan is to do the following:
(a) Migrate databases from current database server (SQL 2005) to new database server (SQL 2008),
(b) Re-assign SQL redirection to new database server (the database was previously on the same box as the WFE, and this was separated out last year to another server, but redirecting the SQL Server,
(c) Install MOSS 2007 (32-bit) on the other new server
(d) Patch both instances of MOSS 2007 to the same point
(e) Create (dummy) site collection on new server, and install all custom Features on server
(f) Add new server to existing Farm
(g) Remove previous server from Farm
What must I do to install existing custom Features on new server?
Is there anything that I have left out of the process? Do I need to do anything about the SSP running on the current server?

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

Ok. I found out why it is happening.
If I follow the section 3.1.2 and setup the site studio connection then everything is fine
3.1.2 Creating a Content Server Connection
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e13650/ssxa_creatingsites.htm#CIHJGHFC
If I try to create a content server connection from file->new->content server connection then I get a null pointer exception.
I am sure someone from Oracle will fix it soon. For now all is well with Site Studio.

Upgrade Content Server from 6.10 to 6.40

Hello folks
our customer is planning to upgrade its SAP Content Server (for DMS) from version 6.10 to 6.40 ...what is the best way to do this upgrade ?
Do we have to install the 6.40 first ? then relocate all documents ?
(our customer has a high volume of original files and require that there is minimum disruption in availability of the Content Server)
I have searched in documentation of Content Server but nothing said on the upgrade part
Any help is most welcome
thanks

Hi Sooriya,
As you know, the Content Server 6.30 and 6.40 are both a part of
the NetWeaver 2004S SR1 package.
The 6.4 release is available for download via:
Download
Installations and Upgrades
SAP NetWeaver
SAP NETWEAVER
SAP NETWEAVER 2004S
50078731_2 NW 2004s SR1 Presentation - SAP Content Server 6.40
In my opinion, I don't think there is direct upgrade to 6.40 from 6.10, and it should be NOT recommended.
I would suggest you to do a fresh installation via SAPinst installer.

How to migrate DNS, DHCP Server from 2003 to 2012

Hi all,
I have one old server running server 2003, and i need to migrate the dns and dhcp server to server 2012.
I found all the articles, there are only migrate from 2003 to 2008 or 2008 to 2012.
Is there anyway to migrate it?
Thanks.

Really confused why the "answer" to this thread states it can't be done, when clearly it can. This is the official approach (article dated Oct 2013):
Migrate DHCP Server to Windows Server 2012 R2
Within, you'll see that it says:
This guide provides instructions for migration of a DHCP server from a server that is running Windows Server 2003 or a later operating system to a server running Windows Server 2012 R2. Supported operating systems are listed in the following table.

How do I migrate a FAX server from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

Hi- I have two DCs (one 2008 R2, one 2012 R2) I'm going to build a new DC with 2012 R2 and remove the 2008 R2. This server is hosting FAX services. How do I move it to the new server? Can only find articles talking about SBS and using a migration wizard...
You should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about. -Willy Wonka

Email link to document in Content Server from SDV

Experts,
We would like to email links to documents stored on our Content Server while viewing them in the SAP Document Viewer. These documents are ArchiveLinks to invoices. When we use the 'Send object with note' button in SDV, the email sent contains a text file which has information about the invoice, not the document we are viewing. Does anyone know if what we are try to do is possible?
- Andrew

Hello Andrew,
You can right-click in open space to the right of the bottom row of icons to change the icons. Next select MORE TOOLS. In the File Toolbar, check the box for Email and this should solve the problem. Why SAP did not default this checkbox I will never know.
Thanks,
Tim
