Sharepoint as Content Server

Hello,
I am trying to connect Sharepoint as Content Server in SAP. I have already read about a third party product from E.link to be able to do this. I also read about Duet. I dont know if Duet allows this integration.
Another option I have read is to configure Webfolder link as a vault in SAP DMS.
I tried to configure this in OAC0 tx:
Document Area: WEBDAV
Storage Type: HTTP Content Server
But I am receiving http 502 error (Bad gatway) in test connection
If this third option is possible, then I would like to know if this error is due to some fw problem or security problem.
If not then I would like to know if this the way to configure Sharepoint as COntent Server in SAP or the only way to do this is using another software (http interfaces).
Thanks in advance.

Using SharePoint as Content Server - Need

Hello,
A customer is using Sharepoint to store all the documentation related to applications. Now they have decided to use Solution Manager for the project management. They want to discuss the advantages or not of moving all the documents into Solution Manager, whether they will loose some good features from Sharepoint. Also, do you find any issue, restriction regarding keeping all the documentation in the external Sharepoint, and just linking through URLs.
I would like to get your point of view regarding this integration, any experience, recommendations?
I appreciate your inputs so that we have a good base for the discussion with the customer.
Regards
Esteban

Hi guys
We have been moving our entire application documentation from Lotus Notes to SAP Solution Manager this last year. Here is what we've learned.
When consolidating your documentation within Solution Manager you get some advantages and disadvantages, you can use your documentation seamless in your ITIL processes if you are using Solution to support this. We're unfortunately not using this feature
On the other hand one of the disadvantages when using Solution Manager is that you cannot make deep search, meaning that you can only search in document titles, not in the document content. To do this you need the [SAP TREX|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/a4/929d4206b70931e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] search bolt-on, which we've found a bit expensive
I'm currently lookin into the solution you described: Using Sharepoint as a DMS, enabling us to conduct search in document content.
I hope this information is useful to you - I'll follow this thread with great interest
Best regards

Using MS-Sharepoint as a content server from ECC 6.0

Hi, gurus.
From the
[SAP Content Server Installation Guide|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/cfa73246-0a01-0010-71b4-bc21ccb45c99&overridelayout=true]
...you will find this information:
You can find a description of the SAP Content Server Interface in the SAP Library (on the documentation CD or under www.//help.sap.com) under SAP Web Application Server u2192 Basis Services u2192 Knowledge Provider u2192 Content Management Service u2192 SAP Content Server HTTP Interface. If you want to integrate another content server into your network, the new content server must fulfil the requirements of the interface.
My simple question is:
Is it possible to use MS Sharepoint as a content server from ECC 6.0 ?
Please advice.

Hi Athol,
Thanks very much, your answers are very helpful.
To use SharePoint as SAP DMS for document management. We have depend on the 3rd party products like iNet.DM from ERP.Link or Duet Enterprise and separate licenses required for products?
Without this 3rd party products, it is not possible to use SharePoint as SAP DMS?
What is best and cost effective way of achieving this requirement?
Thanks and Regards,

SHarepoint as SAP Content Server Configuration

Actually this message is for Espen Leknes because I have read something from him i another message but if you guys know about this, all will be wellcome !!!!!!!
This is Andrea, Basis COnsultant. I am writing to you because I was reading lot of messages in SAP SDN regarding DMS and SAP Content Server.
I saw you have participated in lot of messages. I am specially interested in one of them which is about Sharepoint.
The customer I am working in would like to use Sharepoint as global Content Server and I would like to configure Sharepoint as SAP Content Server in order to save documents and attach them to sap objects (scanned invoices, manuals, cad drawings, etc)
I know it is not possible since Sharepoint is not SAP certified and http inteface from SAP (archivelink) does not work with this product.
I have read about Inet.DM and thinks like this.
I read you have configured SHarepoint as WebDav. In some post you have written:
Hi guys,
There is a third way, where you end up using Sharepoint as your content server
1. COnfigure a content server to use file storage
2. COnfigure the file area for webdav
3. The webdav is the sharepoint webdav
Voila, you are using sharepoint as your content server.
Why the heck you would do that is beyond me, but it works.
Ok, the question is:
I am using ECC60 and I dont have file storage option.
Is is possible to explain this again or sent me screenshots os OAC0 ?? It would be very useful.
Thanks so much in advance for this.
Andrea

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,

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesnt show up in Search results

SharePoint 2013 - SQL Server BCS Model Incremental Crawl content doesn't show up in Search results, Incremental crawl is working fine, i.e., its picking up newly added records in table to the Search, but the newly added content is not available in search
results page.
But when i do a Full Crawl, search results are showing up with appropriate content.
What could be the issue here?
Suresh Kumar Udatha.

This time on the Full crawl I got only 62 warnings and 12 errors and ~537.000 success. Warnings were about truncating the crawl documents because their content length exceed the configured for crawl. The 12 errors were "Processing this item failed because
of a timeout when parsing its contents." and "The content processing pipeline failed to process the item.". I think 12 errors is not much to re-execute full crawl. Site collection has one SP Site Group (with Read Permission Level). In this site group I have
only one AD Group added, so permission change is not a possible reason for re-crawl, plus nobody changed anything in this ad group. All documents are stored in 2 document libraries and there are no sub-sites. I want to access these documents trough search
(custom managed property restriction kql) but this way I have no mechanism to fast re-crawl only error documents from the first full-crawl (those 12). This is very strange and put SP 2013 Search almost unusable for my scenario.
Thanks,
Darko

Same issue...running SCOM 2012 RTM with UR3 on Windows 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2013. I got the discovery to work after editing the .config file. All appeared to be working with the exception of the Configuration Databases and Content Databases
which are currently in a Not monitored state (this could be by design?).
I believe this is a bug with the SharePoint 2013 Management Pack. I tried importing the SharePoint 2010 MP to validate my SCOM environment and Report Server and did not get any errors and the reports imported fine. Has anyone openened
a case with Microsoft or know if this is a known issue? Thanks!

Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

Hi,
I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
   Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
         The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
        The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration
        component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
        e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
        try again.
I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.
On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
       Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain
       the schema version info.
       Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
Details:
            (0x80040e09)
Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
Thanks.
John.

It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
error in the Event Viewer:
CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>)
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
again.
I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
Any ideas?
John.

SharePoint 2010 Content database growing too fast

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2010 Content database wss_content_DB which is 197 GB BUT when I calculate my site collection I can see they have used only about 70 GB. I know there is Auditdata table which is about 27 GB. Couple of days ago my content DB was about 105
GB and it Audit data log was set to unlimited once I noticed that I set to 90 days since then it jumped to 197 GB.
I have no idea what is going on.
Now I need to know
- why it is showing 197 GB in SQL server
- How can I trim audit log
- Why suddenly it's increased to 197 GB from 105 GB
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Abdul

There is a way to deal with this table. There is an stsadm command (stsadm -o trimauditlog) as part of the infastructure update that will allow you to manage this data.
#Powershell Script to trim old AuditData table records.
$currentDate = Get-Date
#Number of days we want to keep data in the table
$NumberOfDays = -90
$DateToDelete = $currentDate.AddDays($NumberOfDays)
$DateString = ‘{0:yyyyMMdd}’ -f $DateToDelete
$STSADMCMD = “stsadm -o trimauditlog -date $DateString -databasename WSS_ContentDB”
invoke-expression “$STSADMCMD”
WHY IT SUDDENLY INCREASED:
Do this query on your SQL Instance: DBCC SQLPERF(logspace)
This will show you how the size of LOGfiles (LDF) and how much is unused, if you have alot of unused space it indicates you dont have a recent DB backup - normally backup would write log data to MDF file .
Normally you will not shrink DBs, only if you have deleted alot of data and you are not going to use space again so only do a shrink if you REALLY needs to.

Document Service Task Flow with Sharepoint as content repository

WebCenter 11g PS3
Can Microsoft Sharepoint be used with WebCenter Document Service Task flow ?
I need to implement Document Workflow in WebCenter Spaces, but the content repository is Sharepoint instead of Oracle Content Server.

Yes you can. I believe there is a sharepoint adapter available for webcenter.
Maybe following documentation can help:

Moving SharePoint from One server to another

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our current sharepoint farm server to another server.
Our scenario
WFE Servers = SERVER01 AND SERVER02
APP Servers   = SERVER03 AND SERVER04
SQL Server   = SERVER05
New WFE Servers = SERVER06 AND SERVER07
New APP Servers = SERVER08 AND SERVER09
New SQL Server = SERVER10
Please does anyone know the best approach for migrating a sharepoint farm from one server to another.
My current approach will be to
FOR THE SQL SERVER
1.    stop all processes that might be using sharepoint such as search, sptimer using the net stop cmdlet on SERVER05
2.    back up all sharepoint content databases
3     Copy and restore the backed up databases on the sql server using the same name to ensure permissions are not      tampered with on SERVER10
4.    Ensure the firewall on the new sql server is open on port 1433
5.    Configure a new SQL Alias on the new server so that SharePoint can point to the new sql server
6.   Restart all the stopped processes in 1 above.
However, my questions are
Is the above the right approach?
How do i migrate the WFE and APP servers - do i need to reconfigure sharepoint on both wfe nd app server and then do a mount-spcontentdatabase cmdlet?
Please advise is urgently needed
Kind Regards
Louis
thanks

Error While defining the content server

Dear Folks,
We are trying to define the content sever in our sever. It is required for integration of SAP with documentum. We are trying to define in below path.
Cross-Application Components - Document Management - General data - Settings for storage systems - Maintain storage system -
It already have DMS_C1 content repository with storage type R/3 database. We are creating a new content repository with storage type HTTP Content Server. We are giving below inputs.
Vesion No. 0045, HTTP Server - (My machine's FQDN and port is 8080), HTTP script as - sap/bc/contentsever/300.
After giving above inputs, if I click on test connection, I m getting error as Error in HTTP Access:IF_HTTP_CLIENT -> RECIEVE1 ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.
If I define the HTTP content sever as sap-qas.vsnl.co.in (i.e. My quality servers host name) it works fine i.e. connection test goes OK. Does any one know how we can define the content server and what all steps required for the same?
Thanks and Regards,
Kedar

Hi Kedar,
YOu have to provide the details as fallows
Storage type : HTTP content server
Version no. : 45 (based on the content server version)
HTTP server : <content server IP>
Port Number of content server : 1090 (default port)
HTTP Scrip : ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
Once after these details you can check
Also install the DBM gui in your local PC and add this content servers database (if the content server is on MAX DB) then you need to star it from the console or else use the command to start it once after the installation.
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -d <SID> -u control,plmcont db_state - to check the database status
/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -d <SID> -u control,plmcont db_online - to start the database
Thanks,

Content Server 6.40 Presents a Save As dialog for ContentServer.dll file

hi All
we have installed successfully the content server 6.40 on a windows 2008 with iis 7 environment. The installation wen successfully with no errors. however when we run a test by calling the URL http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo URL, instead of getting a response, we are getting a save as file dialog to save the dll file. Also, after the installation, even with the install website tick checked, the website was not installed. we had to do the installation of the website manually for the port.
With content server 620 on windows 2000 this was never the case
if anywone has an idea on how to resolve the issue, please advice
Regards
Ronny

GOT the Solution
to anyone else who could be going through the same issue, see if the solution below solves your issue
The website should get created if all the roles in IIS 7.0 are installed. Therefore, please try to install the IIS 7.0 by selecting
all the roles followed by installation of the SAP Content Server. By doing so, websites should be created automatically.
In the IIS 7.0, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default. Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0 is installed, as per the installation manual for the Content Server on Windows 2008:
Roles needed in IIS 7.0.

The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods. One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc. However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.
