Role of MaxDb in SAP content server

Hello experts,
We have already gone through the content server documents.
We are not yet clear with role of MaxDb database in SAP content sever.
Is it prerequisite to install MaxDb for SAP content server?(eventhough documents has to be store in file system)
We Want to perform document archiving, for this reason we want to store documents in File system.
So in this scenario where will be the meta data stored?

Hi Akshay,
You can check the installation guide, you can install Content server without maxdb on a separate server and it will use the storage (File system) of that server to store the documents.
As far as I know, the meta data is stored on the file system(if Maxdb not used) or on Maxdb and the header is stored on the SAP side.
For installation without maxdb, you can check the below link

Moving SAP Content Server/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 Server

Hi All.
We are in the process of upgrading our server where the SAP content server is located. We are going from SAP CS 6.30/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 server where we want to install SAP CS 6.40/MaxDB 7.8. I have been following the latest manual from SAP for upgrading to MaxDb 7.8 (2010-10-05) from MaxDb 7.6 using the in-place method.
To date we have installed MaxDB 7.6 on the server. We restored our latest backup and performed the index checks as spelled out in the manual. I have the database in ADMIN mode and went to run the MaxDb 7.8 install for the 64 bit window version. THe install GUI comes up, but the Update selection is grayed out. This tells me that the install program can not detect our existing database. I did make sure I was running the install as Admim so I do not think that is the issue.
This is the second time I have tried this upgrade. The first time I did a comand line upgrade by runing the .bat file DBUPDATE.bat. We have a 110 Gbyte database and this upgrade ran in about 15 minutes, and of course when I went to openthe database it was toast. Do not want to make the same mistake again.
One other point, since we did a restore of the database, then the index check, we did not run a backup as the manual suggested as we felt it was not necessary. Does the system require a backup before upgrade and that is why it does not see the database?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I beleive we have resolved the issue with upgrading the database, but now we are having a problem with Datbase Studio 7.8. Before the upgrade we used Data Manager 7.6. After the upgrade we installed Database Studio 7.8 and when we go to start it up, we are getting the Problems opening perspective 'com.sap.sdb.tools.ut.perspectives.mainPerspective'. I followed the instruction in another post Problems opening perspective in Database Studio, but we still are getting the error.
Can anybody offer any assistance as we are getting close to the weekend when we want to do the cutover and we are not even done with our first pass at upgrading the SAP content server.
Thanks
John

What is the latest prod. supported MaxDB Version w. SAP Content Server 6.40

What is the most actual supportet MaxDB Version when using with SAP Contentserver 6.40?
In PAM Page 5 (of the Powerpoint) the official Version should be 7.5.
In "install and Upgrade" NW 7.0 there is the "NW 7.0 Presentation - MaxDB Release 7.6.03" available for Download and the "MaxDB RDBMS 7.7.06 Build 10 - Windows Server on x64 64bit "
Does that mean, that the 7.7 Version is official supported for Production?
Searched the Notest but found no answer for that.
Ulrich
... half an hour later ...
just found MAXDB 7.7 Installation which suggest the 7.7 is the latest official supported.
could that be the answer?

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

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?

SAP Content Server and Maxdb on Windows x64

Hello,
We currently run MaxDB 7.6 and Content Server 6.40 on Windows 2003 32 bit. We'd like to upgrade this to 64bit, preferably Windows 2008 R2. However, we would use 2003 x64 if necessary.
Does anyone know if this is possible and where we'd find the software and installation instructions? The information in the Service Marketplace / PAM seems a bit vague in this area (unless we're looking in the wrong place).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Philip.

SAP Content Server 6.40 on 32 or 64 bit OS?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if SAP Content Server 6.40 on NW 2004s with MaxDB 7.6 will run on Windows 2003 64 or 32 bit? I have installed in on a x64 bit 2003 server now, but there seems to be some issues. For starters, I get the following error message when I try to run "http://<hostname>:<portno.>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo" as part of the post-processing when installing SAP Content Server 6.40:
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Does anyone have any ideas?

SAP Content Server 6.40 on 64 bit Windows

Hello,
As per PAM SAP Content Server 6.40 is supported on Windows but only on "WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT" version.
So does it imply that content server is not supported on 64 bit Windows platform??
I also want to know about Windows Server 2008. Although it is not mentioned in PAM, is it supported for content server? Additionally I've checked SAP Note "1054740 - SAP System Installation on Windows Server 2008.txt" again which did not give any fair idea about Windows 2008 platform support.
Please throw some light on 64 bit windows support as well as for Windows 2008 platform support for content server (which implicitly has MAXDB as database).
Thanks & Regards,

We are planning to install the SAP Content Server 6.40 on Solaris10 release 09 on SPARC Server. I have gone through the installation guide as well.

Change hostname on SAP Content Server

Hi Gurus,
I'm investigating the effort required to change the hostname on a SAP content server. I'm well aware that with a SAP ABAP or Java instance we must use system copy tools to achieve this but with SAP Content server is there an easier way?
It is simply running MAXDB and IIS and so I think with careful planning it might be possible to change the hostname and keep things moving without a system copy.
Has anybody any experience to share?

Hi,
The main areas that you need to look at when making the changes are:
1/ Landscape :
Hostname files and profile parameters need to be updated.
RFC destination need to be modified ( see note 88346 )
TA SM59 , check/update the table RFCDES...
2/ OSS and SAProuter configuration
3/ SAPLOGON/SAPGUI configurations
4/ Database configuration..

WebDAV Access: SAP Content Server

Hello everyone,
I would like to use SAP Content Server to store the courses created in LSO Authoring Environment. (Client wants it this way...i have no clue why). Now in order to use SAP Content Server here, the content server must support WebDAV access. So does the content server support WebDAV, if yes -- how to enable it and how to browse it.
Thanks,
GLM

If the documents are stored in DMS with Content Server as the repository, you should be able to access them using the DMS connector to KM. This is a business package which, when installed, exposes document stored in DMS to KM as a KM repository. Then you can browse it like any other KM repository. There are a lot of posts in this forum and others about the DMS connector.
You can also try to enable WebDAV if you Content Server is using a MaxDB database.
