SAP Content Server Archiving strategy

Hi,
I have installed ECC 6.0 SR3 and SAP Content Server 6.40 recently. Content Server is contains only scanned copies. I want to propose archval strategy for the Content Server.
Any body has document for the same please let me know.
Thanks in advance

hi,
Archiving,
There are both technical and legal reasons for archiving application data. Data Archiving:
· Resolves memory space and performance problems caused by large volumes of transaction data
· Ensures that data growth remains moderate so that the database remains manageable in the long term
· Ensures that companies can meet the legal requirements for data storage in a cost-efficient manner
· Ensures that data can be reused at a later date, for example, in new product development

How to archive data which is in sap content server

Hi Experts,
We are facing issue with data stored in content server. With the time the data which is in content server is increasing and reaching the size limitation of content server. We want to archive data which is already present in content server.
Is there any stategy for this and how we can archive the data which is already inside sap content server.
Thanks.

Richa Koolwal

Thanks Ajay,
It really helps to ansewer some of my questions.
I would like to ask some more information for content server to you. As you said content server will allow to increase the database size upto 64TB and advise for the either of the 2 activiteis.
1. If I shift the data which is old to some other storage, should that storage device be connected to content server.
e.g If I have decided to store data on some file system I have to connect file system with the content server with the specific driver for file system.
2. Next you said to install new content server, but as I know content server provide us the facility to connect to various instances of database system if one of the instance reaches its limit of 64 TB, so would it be good to install some other instances of database or the new sap conent server.
3. Which storage media (File system and Instance of Database) is prefferable in terms of cost and security to enhance the scalability of content server.
Thanks.

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?

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

Webi Hyperlink to SAP Content Server

Hi folks,
My customer is trying to use a hyperlink;
http://opentext.samca.net:8080/archive?get&pVersion=0045&contRep=D1&docId=4945274BD42AD25FE10000000AC819E6
in his Webi report to launch a document stored on his SAP Content Server.
However the url will not parse in Webi because the u2018HTTP ver 4.5 for Content Serveru2019 expects a method as a first parameter, whilst in standard HTTP protocol the option of passing a parameter is not covered.
Is there any way around this, the url above has to be specified this way to comply with the SAP Content Server?
Kind regards,
John

John,
In WebI:
Drag and Drop: Free-standing cell, Blank cell, in that paste the URL. And change cell properties of "Read Cell content as" -- Hyperlink.
Thank 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

How many ways to use the SAP content server?

I just find out that content servers can be helpful for our data archiving.
Can people here list other exciting way to use content servers, e.g. KW/KM, etc.

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.

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?

Https access to Sap Content Server 620 with R/3 46C

We are trying to access the Sap Content Server 620 via Https.
We do not want to administer it via HTTPS, (as we know CSADMIN doesn't support Https in rel. 46C as for note 712332). We want to do in way that the users when do check-in/out of originals these go across the
network using Https instead Http.
According note 712330 it should be possible.
Anyone already did it ?
Any suggestions ?
NOte 506314 is not clear. We are in doubt how we applyed it.
What we did:
0)activate the SSL on the Sap COntent Server Web Site, requiring and installing a CA certificate.
1)On the R/3 server in tx OAC0 with %HTTPS filled up the
two boxes with "%HHTPS
required"
1)unpacked the Sap criptolibrary and copied all the files (including those in ntintel subdirectory created during the unpacking) under c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui on a frontend PC.
2)set the env. variable SAPHTTP=c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui on
Frontend PC
3) from c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui we created both the SAPSSLC.pse and the SAPSSLS.pse file with the command :
3) from c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui we created both the
SAPSSLC.pse and the SAPSSLS.pse file with the command :

4) we run the test: saphttp https://itmif069

Taking into account that you ask for help on this subject last 2004 Oct. I suppose that you have probably solved the problem.
Please can you help me with the solution implemented.

Thanks in advance,

Sap Content server Direct Browser Access - docGet

We use SAP Content Server for DMS doc storage. Docs are stored without digital signing.
I am looking to access dms original files directly via web browser using the "docGet" command.
My url looks as shown:
http://pswdf009:1080/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?docGet&pVersion=0045&contRep=K1&docId=361A524A3ECB5459E0000800099245EC
When I call the url, browser does not seem to be able to read the file type of the server response. An "open/save" dialog appears and when "open" is selected a subsequent dialog appears asking which application to use to open the file. Once the correct application is chosen, the document is displayed correctly.
Is there some way to instruct the browser the content-type is application/pdf?
Will CSAdmin parameter changes have any impact?
The browser is Internet Explorer 6.
Any help is appreciated.
Roger

Hi Roger,
you may of course find an answer here.
But mySAP PLM DMS is not a focus topic here (besides maybe connecting it into the SAP Portal and KM). Thus, you may be better off using a contact or a message to PLM.
