SAP DMS server installation Query

Guys,
I would like to share my plans on DMS server installation under DEV,Quality,prod stage and requesting you all to validate and send me any comments if I am wrong anywhere.
-        We have 1 external DMS server of (250Gb capacity)
-     We are now in realization phase, As we know that we have 3 servers namly Development, quality and production server.
-     In Development Server we do Baseline DMS customization
-     In Quality server we do Integration testing
-     There will be as external computer with harddisk capacity of 80 GB,I will Install Content server CD and make that 80GB hard disk as content server for storing the documents, create content repository and store the documents which are to be tested under both development and quality server stage(Note : we can use SAP database for both testing purpose but If we load huge data there,it will slowdown the server drastically)
-     During the production server install the DMS server (250 gb) and define the content repository config under production server and start storing all the fresh document
-     Note: Since the tested documents are stored in local PC we can avoid all the tested documents under quality stage only,once the DMS server is installaed in production server we can freshly load the documents.
-     Note: I knew I have to install twice the Content server cd(once with 80 GB local hard disk and later with External DMS server)
This is how I planned, I request you to highlight the pain areas by this method else give me the confidence of how I planned?
I appreciate for immediate solution; also how does Kpro comes into picture here.
Points will be rewarded for sure.

Hi Murali,
As per my understanding you want to keep a Temporary Content Server for your Dev & QA system but a full fledge 250GB Content server for Production.
This is a Good method you are following, i.e. when you go for production you will not have any junk data, you will be loading only fresh data (originals) into it.
There is nothing harm or pain in doing this, only thing is you have re-configure the Content Repository and Category in Production System (SAP).
Your Basis person has to open Production System for doing this Settings (Defining Content Repository and Content Category with Port, HTTP, etc)
Document Area to be ensured in each client at any point of time, Physical machine, IP address, Port etc.
You can maintain a Excel sheet with a following Columns:
<b>Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port.</b>
For Transaction OACT & OAC0.
Rest your method is fantastic.
Best Regards

2.Do we need to maintain landscape for DMS?
3.How do we Size the server for DMS?
4.Can i have any link for DMS documents?
Thanks is advance.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anandh
Answer to your Questions
1.Do we need to install any other component like SAP content server for DMS? Is this mandatory?
Content Server is used to store documents Such as MS Word, MS Excel, MSPowerpoint.
These Document consume very large amount of space more than 500GB's.This data is not advisable to store on Production server(SAP Database).So SAP recommeds Content Server. But Not Mandatory.Ther are also other methods to store Document as suggested by SAP.Please check this Link.

2.Do we need to maintain landscape for DMS?
Yes.
3.How do we Size the server for DMS?
Please check with Basis Consultant for Sizing.Also Sizing has to done in considering the Clients requirements such as how many documents are created monthly , yearly, Percentage Increase per Year.These questions tells requirement of clients interms of Size of Content Server.
4.Can i have any link for DMS documents?

SAP Content server installation using apache web server under HP-UX 11i

Hello,
I installed a SAP Content Server 6.4 in HP-UX 11.11 with MaxDB 7.6.
Although Installation is finished completely I got an syxtext error when apache web server is started after completing installation as below;
kbwpdc 106: /home/dmscs/bin>./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 233 of /home/dmscs/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /home/dmscs/modules/mod_sapcs2.so into server: Invalid
argument
I think apache web server doesn't know mod_sapcs2.so although it exists in the directory(/home/dmscs/module).
- Working sequence
1) Environment variables setup to compile with 64bit.
2) "configure" generation with option relevant to SAP content server
3) "make" generation
4) "make install" generation
5) Install SAP Content server 6.40
6) Install MaxDB 7.6
7) Edit httpd.conf for loading mod_sapcs2.so module and changing Listen port.
8) Start apache web server.
Do I need to configure to solve this syntext error? missing any step?
Please let me know to solution if you had experienced with the same problem.
I will wait for your response.
Thanks,
Mark Yoo.

Hi Mark,
Can i check with you how do you set your environment to compile in 64bit ? My file mod_sapcs.o apear in the libexec directory instead of mod_sapcs.so. That why my apache cannot start. It prompted Cannot load module /home/sapcs/libexec/mod_sapc.o

SAP crystal server installation

Hi All,
I tried to install crystal server trial version 2013 and during installation I got error: "suppressed reboot" which is preventing me to install.
Can someone help me please.

Digging a little further, I rhink I know why you can't find it:
In Regedit, on the left-hand side of the screen, navigate as far as Navigate through the tree to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager.
Now look for "PendingFileRenameOperations" in the values on the right-hand side of the screen.

SAP B1 Server Installation doubt

Hi experts,
I have installed SAP B1 client,ServerTools,SDK in C Drive.And also Microsoft Visual Studio ,SQL Server in C Drive.While installing B1 Server in C Drive ,I got a message like there is not enough space to install.
So, I have tried to install in G Drive which have 50 GB free space, here also it shows the same not enough space to install message.
Is it taking C Drive automatically even it is mentioned in G Drive? or Is Visual Studio,SQL and all SAP should be in same Drive?
Thanks & Regards,
Parvatha Solai.N

Hi, How much is the free space available in C Drive. the Operating system also needs some free space, may be 20% of the total Drive allocation is the practice.

SAP DMS - How to do an external DMS configuration for the existing system ?

Hi All.
Greetings.
Request help and understanding.
Am new to the world of SAP. And request SOME clarity for understanding of DMS.
We are wanting to put an external DMS server and wish to configure for the same.
So that the load on the production SAP R/3 database is reduced.
We are now wanting to test the same on Dev environment.
From SDN Link :
I understand that :
DMS basically has a content server. which stores documents.
That can be accessed through Web, SAP R/3 Gui , SAP Portal.
I have gone thro various links and the following links i have found to be informative and helpful :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/DMS+Customizing
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
However, would like to know the following because am not getting the clarity :
1) Is there any supported platform / compatibility guide for DMS ?
if yes, can someone send me the link?
2) We have oracle 11g as our for SAP R/3 backend.
Windows 2003 server 64 bit system.
When i check the system status on the dev server of sap.
It says. ECC 6.0 Rel 7.00 update 20 (hOpe am reading it correctly)
After much search on the SMP site,
we finally discovered and downloaded the DMS software for unicode and / 64 bit.
Which we saw under the maintenance components separately seen for DMS 7.0
Now for this DMS content server which we would like to make it external for storage of documents -
do we need to have a separate database for this purpose as a repository.
If i run a setup of DMS - will that automatically install any default repository for this or
will it allow me to choose any other repository for the same ?
Can anyone advise on this.
Because this link says content server is based on Instance of MAXDB : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
3) I read some thing like this on some of the SDN links :
P40 - Integration of DMS
P62 - R&D Document Manage¬ment and Workflow
P71 - Document management
What are they referring to.
4) We would be accessing these thro web, gui, customised portal.
This content server configuration is a bit confusing.
5) Is SNC configuration required to be done for the separate DMS server setup.
If yes, how to do that ? any configuration link for that please ?
Can anyone advise on the things to do.
Steps to do.
What all are the pre-requisites to check, before we start the set up of DMS.
Can anyone help me understand this whole thing regarding the DMS installation and configuration.
Step-wise.. from the start to end.
Because it gives me a lot of uneasiness without having everything in place before we could say we could start the whole process of configuration / installation.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Wishing you a happy and relaxed weekend.
Kind regards
Indu

Thanks christoph & pradeep kumar.
did a few more research and atleast have come to understand that.
DMS server installation has content server which works only with MAXDB.
So my understanding is correct.
And what we see as Easy DMS is a client installation.
which probably i would look at at a later stage.
Found this link to be a little more informative :

I really wish. That life were to be so easy. To call a consultant and finish it off

DMS Document upload: does it pass through sap DMS ?

Dear All,
We have a question concerning the transmission of documents from the client to DMS and the Content Server: does the document need to pass through the sap server ?
Document upload (create document CV01N)
Does the document go directly from the client to the Content server OR does it pass through the sap DMS before to be stored in the CS ?
Document download (read document CV03N)
Does the document go directly from the CS to the client OR does it pass through the sap DMS server ?
This could be interesting to know for network performances.
best regards,

Hi Gurus
is the cache server a default funtionality from the content server or any configuration is required from our part.
is that the cache server acts as the RAM of our system?
please explain the partitioning or biferfication of the Content server, as you told
content server is divided into storage catagories and this in turn in to content repositories,
please clarify below points,
1)any server or PC can be made as Content server by insatalling the content server CD if iam right ?
2) Practical and funtional benifits of partitioning content server into content repositories is it for authorization and storing data by naming convection or can it also help in copiying data from a specific content repository if needed, ( is content repositories a logical partition or practical partition like B,C,D, F drives of our PC hard disk)
3) can /should there be multiple content server installation for a particular (production) client.
4) Can Archiving be done say by creating a separate content repository inside the same Content server, or is it mandatory to have a separate archiving server itself,
please give some idea with examples
Thanks and regards
Kumar

SAP DMS - SAP ECC network traffic

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
The SAP ECC servers are hosted outside my company and we are planning to install a SAP DMS server.
We have 2 options: host the SAP DMS outside or install SAP DMS in our datacenter.
When the SAP user attaches or reads a file to/from SAP DMS, how is the network traffic ?
Is there any traffic fom SAP ECC to SAP DMS or the file goes to/from DMS from/to end-user ?
How SAP DMS impacts my WAN ?
Best Regards,
Leonardo.

Leonardo, I have done some research / trouble shooting and architectural changes to raise the upload / download speeds, there are several dependencies like Network, Application, hardware etc but to your question:
First of all, DMS is a core functionality of ECC and utilizes both ECC for execution and Content Servers (recommended for Obvious performance reasons) for Data Storage. For your case I recommend that you host Content Server at the Data Center (assuming you have no other option) and have a Cache Server installed Onsite. (This requires minimal maintenance). When the user uploads a file the traffic is high as the entire File needs to be transferred to the data center, on the other hand Cache server (if installed onsite) considerably reduces the retrieval time.
Again having said above there are several other parameters that could affect your upload / download speeds.
Hope you'll find this useful, let me know if you have further questions.
regards
