Original File storage in Content Server

Hi Gurus,
My client has installed Content server for SAPDMS. Before installing content server we were storing files in the sap database.
when i store original files from the transaction CV01n, i want to find out whether the files are stored in the sap database or CS.
SInce earlier in the check-in document screen, the storage categories mentioned are seen. Now again after we installed content
server we can see them with the new storage category of content server, since i have defined all these in the VAULT.
My question is, there is any path between the DATA carrier and the storage conditions.
Kindly solve this gurus.
Regards
Poonguntran

Anybody can help he out of this issue.

Decompress files in HTTP Content Server

Hello,
I have a problem with the consistency of files stored in HTTP content server. That is to say I have an inconsistency between the object and content of the linked file.
I have a controller program for consistency but I do not know how to decompress.
The files in the content server are compressed with CSCompress (I think). Is there a possibility to decompress this files ?
Tank you.
Michel

Hi Michel,
Conerning your questions regarding the possibility to decompress the
files outside the SAP system, I'm afraid this is not possible. The
document files are stored in a compressed format. Even if you managed
to extrace the files from the tables, their content still remains
compressed. In other words, you still have to rely on SAP Content
Server's decompression logic to generate the original content. The only
way to retrieve the files, therefore, is by using the SAP Content
Server HTTP Interface.

David

Kpro usages with common server storage and Content server storage

Hi Sap Gurus,
Can any one tell me is KPro tick that we make in Document type if it is related to the storage types we are going to use,
Can this KPro feature for Document type can be used for any document type irrespective of the Storage type, like weather storage type may be Vault, Archive, SAP DataBase, or the Content Server,
let me also know waht is the benifits of going for this Kpro Tick in Document type (apart from Storing n no of original files in the DIR)
we are trying to store original files in acommon Server (not content server) can we avail all the features of Kpro Tick.
Points awaiting,
Thanks and regards
Shanti

Hi,
Kpro marked in any of the document type is for indication of using content server as a external storage system.
Yes, Kpro can be ticked to any document type but since this is related to only external storage device so this wont support storage systems like Sap Database, Vault but supports to Archieve through Archievelink interface.
Benefits are many and depends upon the business requirement..
1. all the documents related to the organisation can be storaged in external content server rather thn in SAP database of R/3 system which avoids load on R/3 database.
2. as you said, n number of files can be attached.
3. it can be used in terms of attachments in Additional files, product stucture and so on.
4. if Content sever is used also along with cache server then this main server can be used as a central storage location from where globally users can do transaction of documents without and error and in short time.
Only Kpro storage provides all the functionality, you will be using common server which will be only accesible for storage purpose but not for the extra functions which Kpro provides..
hope this helps u..
Thank You,
Manoj

Create a Document with an original file stored on application server

Hello,
I start with document managment system : i am able to create new document (CV01N) manually, add a local file and check-in this file.
Now we need to store file which are stored on the SAP Application Server.
Firstly, in the GUI of transaction CV01N, i don't know how to browse file on application server. All files i can't attach as original, are files i can access from my computer.
Is it possible to access also on application server files ?
Moreover, i have to define function module which have to
- Create a document (DMS)
- Attach an orginial file which is stored on application server
- Check-in the file
This function module will be called from a web application
I define this kind of function and run it correctly with a local file (stored on my computer) : i call BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2" and "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2"
But i don't how to do with a file stored on application server. I see also note 504692 and try a program like ZZUZTEST_TEST_CHECKIN which use FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN but it return an error Error uploading E:\usr\sap\TD1\DVEBMGS00\data\FACTURE.txt" (this path and file exist on application server and is really the file i want to checkin)
Please could you confirm what i search, is possible or not.
If possible, could help me with some explanations and guidelines and perhaps a sample ?
Thank you very much.

This is a bit tricky. I spent lots of hours about this .
You have to set PF_HOSTNAME with your name of your AS and gives the path to the file on the server.
You wrote
*PF_HOSTNAME = w_host
But beware: if you have more thän one AS you have to fix one AS for upload or you have to find the servers name of the file. A better way can be to share one folder by each AS.
You also have to decide between HTTP or FTP.
You wrote:
PF_FTP_DEST = 'SAPFTPA'
PF_HTTP_DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'
You must define only one ! Then you have to check your settings in SM59 about working right.
Pls rate, if this was helpful.

How to get the file on the content server via ABAP

Hi
We are working on an abap that should download certain files stored on the content server and store them on a different file location using GUI_DOWNLOAD. How can we retrieve the files (PDF's) via ABAP from the contentserver?
Hope someone can help
Cheers

Hi,
I think the DMS BAPIs could be useful here. For example you can use BAPI Document_CheckOutViewX or Document.CheckOutView2. You will find the documentation for these BAPIs in transaction BAPI under subtopic 'Cross-Application-Components'.
Further maybe the information in the SAP note 504692 and 796709 could be useful too.
Best regards,

Display different types of file formats from contents server on web UI

Hi,
I have to read different types of documents from content server and display it in web page using webdynpro abap.
Different types of documents are : Tif, Jpeg, BMP, PNG etc. need to be convert into gif format and display
Txt files as it is.
PDF files as it is.
Microsoft office documents as it is.
ALF files i.e. printlists to be shown on web page.
Please anyone has any information regarding this let me know ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Manali

hi ,
pls refer the below thread :
Dynamic Use of Mime in component
n check wid thomas reply in the thread :
Create the cached response object that we will insert the content
Well you can manipulate the MIME content at runtime by using the API: CL_MIME_REPOSITORY_API. However if your content is temporary, it is more efficient to just place the content directly into the ICM cache. You don't have the overhead of having to both write and then delete it from the database. Here is an example of how you can do this:

Download originate file from DMS content server

Hi,
I want to copy a originate file which is attached with a document and save it in one particular location in my pc.

Hi!
For this requirement you can use the report DMS_KPRO_READ in transaction SE38.
With this report the existing original files of a document info records were retreived and you can download them by using th small green download button.
Further you can use the 'copy to' context menu function in transaction CV02N or CV03N. Here please mark an original and in the context menu you will find the 'Copy to' entry which enables you to dowload the file locally to your PC too.
Best regards,

File/Storage Errors in Server 2012

Hi
We are running Server 2012 (proper, downloaded from licensing portal) and are using it as an NFS server for some of our VM Ware machines.
Yesterday the NFS storage went offline for approx. 15 minutes, and then came back online. The following errors are found in Event Viewer, these errors appear to have been happening since 21/08 but this the first time the NFS server has gone offline.
This error is found in the Applications Log:
File Server Resource Manager finished syncing claims from Active Directory and encountered errors during the sync (0x80072030, There is no such object on the server.
). Please check previous event logs for details.
And is accompanied by this error:
File Server Resource Manager failed to find the claim list 'Global Resource Property List' in Active Directory (ADsPath:
LDAP://mydc.mydomain.local/CN=Global Resource Property List,CN=Resource Property Lists,CN=Claims Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydc,DC=local). Please check that the claims list configured for
this machine in Group Policy exists in Active Directory.
Additionally the following error appears in the System log, but not at the same time as the above:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before
the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.
Our PDC is Server 2003 R2, we have a 2008R2 DC and the 2012 server seems to be authenticating with this DC. There are no errors on that DC.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks

I thing the following site gives a solution:
It is a schema problem...
Event ID 12339 and 12344: File Server Resource Manager failed to find claim list
Problem: You are running a Windows Server 2012 file server and you see the error messages in your logs every 15 minutes or so.
1) Event ID: 12339
File Server Resource Manager failed to find the claim list 'Global Resource Property List' in Active Directory (ADsPath: LDAP://dc1.domain.local/CN=Global Resource Property List,CN=Resource Property Lists,CN=Claims Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local).
Please check that the claims list configured for this machine in Group Policy exists in Active Directory.
2) Event ID: 12344
File Server Resource Manager finished syncing claims from Active Directory and encountered errors during the sync (0x80072030, There is no such object on the server.) Please check previous event logs for details.
Solution: You can either upgrade the Active Directory schema to version 56 (Windows Server 2012) or safely ignore the error messages.
If you can update the schema of your domain. Follow these steps:
1)
log on to Windows Server 2012 as Administrator of your domain
2)
Copy from "support \adprep" in the media of Windows Server 2012 to "c:\"
3)
run this command
c:\adprep\adprep.exe /forestprep

Sharepoint 2007 as content server for DMS?

Hi,
Knowing Sharepoint 2003 is not able to act as DMS content server.
Does any know if the new Sharepoint 2007 has this function to act as DMS content server?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ronald

Hi Espen,
iam also coming across the same requirement where in client is already using SharePoint as a common document Managing software,
in your Case as You have solved the Problem, did you buy a new server and installed content servewr in it, and integrate it to Share Point server?
or did you use the Same existing share point server to install content server on it,
i guess in that case there will be duplication of all the Original files,
one, the original file is Available in the Share Point server. and Secondly, the same original file is checked in into the storage catagories if the same share Point server is defined as Storage medium for SAP DMS, ie same Share Point server acting as Content or Archive server.
please help me in Understanding the things clear iam little bit confused,
Alternatively to access the Documents in the Share Point server and Store the same original File in the Content server (or it can be the same SharePoint Server acting as Content server(installing the content server CD on the Share Point server)). can we go to create 2 Datacarrier and Datacarrier types,
one to Bring the original document from the share point server to the DeskTop of the User.
second to check in the Same document through SAP transaction CV01N, here again should we define another Data Carrier and Data Carrier type, (like the share Point server or Content server used again to check in the original Through SAP DMS CV01N,
iam confused as i have only worked on storing external files which is in the Frontend system in to an Content server only,
Points for Sure,
Thanks in Advance,

Find documents on Content Server

Hello all.
On our intranet, we have a page for searching our documents in SAP.
To do this, I use differents BAPI (BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2, BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST, BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETOBJECTDOCS, ...) with SAPRFC on PHP.
The problem is with the documents stored on the Content Server. Where can I find the path of the document ? And how can I link it on a web page ??
Thanks
Edited by: Pil Louze on Sep 9, 2009 10:14 AM

Hi Pil,
you can display or download original file archived in content server with the standard bsp CVAW_VIEW_DOCFILE;
You can find it in SE80->package->cvaw->BSP library->BSP application->CVAW_VIEW_DOCFILE.
CVAW_VIEW_DOCFILE is part of package Webdocument, BSP application for Display and manage DMS Original Files.
If you don't want to use BSP, yo case copy BSP ABAP code in a RFC Function Module for download file content to PHP Server.
Best Regards,
Chris

WebDocuments: Cannot open original files

Hello,
We are testing WebDocuments - BSP,which is used to retrieve data from SAP - DMS(Document Management System).
When we try to open any original file in any one of the documents, we get exception. All other functions are working all right. Can anybody help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

Hi Ali,
Thanks for your answer, it helped us a lot. We solved the problem with original files - it was content server error. Now we are trying to implement WebDocuments in another SAP system and got error message when starting WebDocuments:
Business Server Page (BSP) error
What happened?
Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.
SAP Note
The following error text was processed in the system:

Do you know what does it mean? We made exactly the same actions as in the first SAP system, so what can be the problem?
Thanks a lot,

Copy any kind of file from content server to network directory

Helli All
The question:
I nee to copy any kind of file from content server to any network directory.
Explanation
1. transaction CV02N
2. There is attached file for a document in tab "Document data/Original"
3. This file stored in content server
4. I wrote program code that creates path of the stored file that finally looks like
http://cont:8888/ContentServer.dll?get&Version=.....*...&compid=app1.doc
where app1.doc is file's name and I have to copy this file into network directory.
The problem is that this URL open the file instead of just pointing to him
so that no function or method can't see this file and as the result I got message that
the file doesn\t exist.
Please, advice.
Regards,
Daniel.

many many thanks for ur help. i really did not check the URLClassLoader properly.
but i would like to hear a little more from u. i have another question. here in this code (provided earlier), i searched for attribute values in the manifest file, then again i load the required class file from the very url. is it not good to retrieve the whole jar file first, and then check attribute values inside manifest file and load the required class files from that jar file that is already downloaded without going to that url again? how can i do this?

Content Server Report- Document types with file sizes & Status history

Hi
We are about to start with implementing Seal Systems, however we are a global company with to start with 4 content servers in different regions of the world. In order to determine bandwidth for future strategies, I need to know what is stored on each content server in terms of document types, type file and size of files attached to each document type and of course date created and status changes of each document.
In addition we are of course contemplating usage of SAP Cache servers, not only for better responses, but also for backup purposes.
What we are using is SAP ECC 6 with the content servers using MAX DB. I have contemplated creating a Z program in order to return only the required information for import in Excel where I can then manipulate the returned result to a report which fits us.
But before I start with this, does anyone know of any report or tools just to do that within SAP? I have seen these capabilities in other PLM solutions.
I would appreciate any feedback in this regard
with friendly regards
Joe Kosterman

Hi Joe,
maybe transaction DB20 could help you here.
From DMS side tables DMS_PHIO2FILE and DMS_PH_CD1 are most relevant for original data stored in Content Server.
Regarding the changes of documents report MCDOKABL will show you all the changes done for a specific document.
For maintaining and monitoring content repositories please see transaction CSADMIN.
Best regards,
Christoph
