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?

Hello Friends,

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?

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.

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.

SAP Content Server Upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 & MaxDB 7.3 to 7.8

Dear Experts,
We are in planning of upgrade SAP Content server from 6.3 to 6.4 and MaxDB from 7.3 build 35 to 7.8.
For Content server upgrade is that we need to install the Content server 6.4 and install the latest MaxDB 7.8 and export and import the data.
We are on Win 2003 32 Bit and we are migrating to win 2008 R2 64 Bit.
Is it possible directly using database copy and restoring in MaxDB 7.8 version?
Or we need to use loadercli for migrating the data.
As per the SDN Link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1649661
for content server upgrade is by replacing latest dll files at the respective dir.
Pls let me know your views and known issues.
Thank You,
Mahesh

Hello Mahesh,
In note [735598|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/735598] you can see:

We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.
We do not have content server in place yet and planning to implement sometime in Feb. I am trying to explore ways how we can export existing documents created in CRM and migrate to Content server and link it.
Any ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks,
Miral.

In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

SAP Content Server vs. Open Text Content Server

Hi,
We're currently trying to decide whether we implement SAP Content Server or an Open Text Content Server. We have the following requisites:
- Store documents (from FI, MM, HCM, etc.)
- Store SAP transactional data
- Use Archivelink
According to your experience what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo
Contact Open Text directly, they have a really nice presentation which compares the functionality from a technical perspective. Unfortunately I can't it here on their behalf but I'm sure they would be happy to send you a copy of it.
SAP don't recommend the SAP content server for long term archiving so if you intend doing data archiving Open Text is probably a better option.

Athol

Checkout and editing of original files to a DIR stored in SAP content server

Hi,
is it possible with SAP Web Documents to checkout and edit original files from a document info record that are stored in a SAP Content Server and save the changes back to the SAP Content Server?
Kind regards
Florian Wiedemann

Hi,
unfortunately it's not that easy. Mobile Documents provides with NW ABAP 7.40 SP10 an API which, if you implement it, allows you to expose data from basically any ABAP system. Currently the API only provides read support, but we are already working on enabling write and versioning support also.
If you are interested there is an Expert Session next week on Wednesday the 17th which explains how to get your Data to SAP Mobile Documents.
Here are the details: SAP Mobile Documents - Webinars

Creating documents with SCMS_DOC_URL_CREATE in SAP Content Server

Hi there,
I have a Problem here with the Knowledge Provider concerning SCMS_DOC_URL_CREATE and hope anyone could help me out.
For a SAP Records Management document I am calling BAPI_SRM_DOC_CREATE and get a LOIO and a PHIO ID for my new document. The PHIO-ID I pass to SCMS_DOC_URL_CREATE which then creates the URL to put the file on a SAP Content Server with a 3rd party tool. That works totally fine and I can see the file on the Content Server with its metadata,
Unfortunately SAP Records Management doesn't recognize that a file has been uploaded. When I open the file in the transaction ORGANIZER it has no content and no components.
Is there any function call I am missing to tell the Records Management document that I have uploaded something?
All is working fine when I get the uploaded content into NetWeaver with SCMS_GET... and call BAPI_SRM_CHECKIN_DOCUMENT. But of course this is not what I want (transferring the file directly in the local network area where the content server stands, then getting it back to NetWeaver and back again to the content server).
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thank you
Marcus

Answer: because SCMS_DOC_URL_CREATE is not remote enabled by default.

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:

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.

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,
Vipin
