Some questions regarding SAP Content Server / Knowledge Warehouse

Hi,
we are thinking about SAP Knowledge Warehouse which needs the SAP Content Server.
Is it possible to install the Conent Server together with a Solution Manager System where we would like to use the Knowledge Warehouse functionallity? The Conent Server needs his own database instance. Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?
What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40? Is there no 7.0? What about the future of the Content Server?
We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine? What about the database? Can I use the already installed DB of solution manager?
Thanks ahead
Bernd

Is it possible to install the Conent Server together with a Solution Manager System where we would like to use the Knowledge Warehouse functionallity?
If you have enougth resourses why not?
The Conent Server needs his own database instance.
This is are not true, you can install content server without MAX DB.
Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?
Again why not, if you have correct max db version per PAM for content server (you need 2 DB instance second are for cache server) check pam for NW 7.0 (the PDF document) you find information about content server requirements here and in page --> Database components on same NW 7.0 PAM.
What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40?
6.40 are last version,
We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine?
Your OS are ? I'm install cont server 6.40 on system where NW 7.0 are installed without problem, do not know about NW EHP1 .... Good backup are start point .....

Import SAP content in Knowledge warehouse

Hi All,
We are in process of importing the SAP content to the content server 6.40.
Using report RSIRTRIM we are importing I file to the content server and RFC destination used is SAPKROTP_GW as per a note and deleted the SAPKPROTP as per a note. We have already imported the transport (R and K file) through STMS for the related I file.
But the import of I file is running for long and its using CPIC connection to c:\windows\system32\sapkprotp.exe . In SM66 it is in 'stopped CPIC' status.
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks,
Rohan

Question regarding SAP ECC Server Value Pack successor

Hello,
currently one of our ERP 6.0 systems is scheduled for an EHP4 upgrade. So we used the SolMan to determine which technical usages are available for the system.
The SolMan presents teh SAP ECC Server Value Pack successor as a possible technical usages which could be implemented during this update. Now our customer does not know what this technical usage could be good for. I already searched within the help.sap.com area for ERP 6.0 but I was not able to dig up any information regarding this technical usage.
Can somebody tell me what they are good for or where to look for specific information?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Sven

Someone has information about this pack, I don´t find information in any part.

Some questions on SAP DMS

Hello
some questions on SAP DMS:-
- can versions of same document be shown graphically. ?
- can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
- is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
- is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
Thanks

Hi Shovon,
1. can versions of same document be shown graphically?
You can display all existing versions of a document info record by using the menu 'Extras' >> 'Versions'. Then you will see all existing document version for this specific document number. Further you will see which is the current version at the moment.
2. can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
I'm not quite sure what you mean by links to documents. If you mean linking document info records together, I can confirm that this works also in DMS. You can maintain the object DRAW for object links in the customizing and then you will be able to link one document info record to another. The data for all document info records is stored in table DRAW.
If you are talking about originals which are linked to document info records, please note that if you check in an original the system creates a unique LOIO- and PHIO-ID which is stored in the Content Server and in the database tables DMS_DOC2LOIO and DMS_PHIO2FILE. But there are also different reports to migrate original data from one content Server to another (e.g. DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT).
3. Is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
Yes you can activate an event type linkage for object
DRAW CHANGED DOKST
DRAW CHANGED DWNAM
in transaction SWE2. Here you just have to set the flag for 'Type linkage' (linkage activated). Then everytime the document is changed a notification is sent to the entered USER of this document info records.
4. Is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
Normally there is no special lifecycle. You can control this by maintaining a released status and if there are more versions always version with the release status is the current one. But there is no specific date when the document info record expires or something like that.
Best regards,
Christoph

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

Content Server & Knowledge Management

Hi,
I am new to the concept of content server & Knowledge management in CRM.
Cotent server is already installed and I want to configure content server in CRM 7.0. I found some documents on service.sap.com but that describes the configuration of knowledge management.
Can you guys , please let me know, how to configure content server in CRM or any links describing the same would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
When we are talking about content server & Knowledge management , we generally mean the TREX engine of KM.
As we know KM is a component of SAP Netweaveru2122. It is used for managing unstructured information.Search and Classification (TREX) allows you to configure secure communication between TREX and the application using TREX (for example, SAP Enterprise Portalor SAP Customer Relationship Management).
Hence we configure secure communication between TREX and the application using it (for example, SAP Enterprise Portal or SAP Customer Relationship Management.For achieving the same as u said once installation is done we take HTTPS connectivity or any other depending on client request. TREX is based on a client/server architecture.

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.
Regards
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.
Regards

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.

Document Migration from CRM to SAP Content Server

We are going live with SAP CRM 7.0 next week. CRM team configured some of applications like ITSM, Change Request Management and Transport Request database also as part of implementation.
We got last minute requirement that CRM team would like to go-live with current configuration with current configuration and eventually they would like to migrate all documents to Content server.

Any ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks,
Miral.

In which repository are the documents currently stored in CRM? Please see if Note 688241 on 'Relocating large SAP Content Server Repositories' could be of any assistance to you.

Delay viewing archivelink images held in SAP content server

Hi,
We have implemented an indexing solution utilising SAP Archivelink and Content server. We are noting considerable delays when viewing documents, this only happens for the first document in a transaction and can take up to 6 minutes to display a document. As our users have a person on the telephone at the time this results in alot of smalltalk which is not desireable.
Does anyone know of any performance issues related to document storage in content server?
Many Thanks,

How to install Apache Web server on my SAP Content Server

Dear Experts,
I am in the process of installaing Content Server in my landscape, i am working on Suse Linux 10 SP2 and planning to install ContentServer 6.30.
I have read the standard SAP installation document for the same and it says that we need to install Apache Web server version 1.3.XX, so i have downloaded the file apache_1.3.27-x86_64-whatever-linux22.tar.
Now i want to know the following before i take any actions on my further installation of the Content Server
What is the difference between Apache and httpd servers (services) are they different or same
Is the file apache_1.3.27-x86_64-whatever-linux22.tar correct to install Web Server on my Linux system
Do i have to download any other httpd files
How to install and start the Web server on my Linux
Waiting for some information
Thanks and regards
BasoKing

You can install a higher apache also (2.2.x), I'd not use the old versions. I'd also not use a "somwhere" compiled apache, you don't now if that version is clean.
I'd rather compile an own one, it's not that difficult:
Note 664384 - Generation info for Apache Web server for SAP Content Server
The result will be a default webserver (httpd) without any unnecessary modules compiled in.

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,
