Upgrade Content Server from 6.10 to 6.40

Hello folks
our customer is planning to upgrade its SAP Content Server (for DMS) from version 6.10 to 6.40 ...what is the best way to do this upgrade ?
Do we have to install the 6.40 first ? then relocate all documents ?
(our customer has a high volume of original files and require that there is minimum disruption in availability of the Content Server)
I have searched in documentation of Content Server but nothing said on the upgrade part
Any help is most welcome
thanks

Hi Sooriya,
As you know, the Content Server 6.30 and 6.40 are both a part of
the NetWeaver 2004S SR1 package.
The 6.4 release is available for download via:
Download
Installations and Upgrades
SAP NetWeaver
SAP NETWEAVER
SAP NETWEAVER 2004S
50078731_2 NW 2004s SR1 Presentation - SAP Content Server 6.40
In my opinion, I don't think there is direct upgrade to 6.40 from 6.10, and it should be NOT recommended.
I would suggest you to do a fresh installation via SAPinst installer.

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?

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,

Upload / Download document to KM Content Server from WebDynpro Application

I have a requirement where I need to upload / download document into / from KM Content Server from my WebDynpro Application.
Is it technically possible and if Yes, can I get any Sample code for this.

Hi Tahzeeb,
first of all i would point you to the JavaDocs for KMC API.
https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/km/index.html
And here is a small example of reading and storing KM resources.
For reading:
     * Returns a resource as an InputStream from the KM repository
     * at the given path. The IUser is needed for authorization.
     * @param user      IUser for checking authorisation.
     * @param resPath   Path to the KM resource.
     * @return          Requested resource as a stream.
    private InputStream getKmResource(final IUser user, final String resPath)
        throws ResourceAccessException {
        try {
            final IResourceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
            final RID rid = RID.getRID(resPath);
            final IResource kmResource =
                factory.getResource(
                    rid,
                    new ResourceContext(getDeprecatedIUser(user)));
            if (kmResource == null) {
                throw new ResourceNotFoundException(
                    "KM resource not found: " + resPath,
                    resPath);
            return kmResource.getContent().getInputStream();
        catch (WcmException e) {
            throw new ResourceAccessException("Error accessing KM resource: " + resPath, e, resPath);
And for writing:
     * Stores a resource in the KM repository at the given path with the given name and mimetype.
     * Content is taken from the given inputstream.
     * @param user          IUser for checking authorisation.
     * @param resName   Name of the resource
     * @param resPath     Path to the resource
     * @param mimeType MimeType of the resource
     * @param inputStream Resource content
     * @throws ResourceAccessException
    private void putKmResource(
        final IUser user,
        final String resName,
        final String resPath,
        final String mimeType,
        final InputStream inputStream)
        throws ResourceAccessException {
        try {
            final ResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(getDeprecatedIUser(user));
            final RID rid = RID.getRID(resPath);
            final ICollection kmCollection =
                (ICollection) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, rContext);
            if (kmCollection == null) {
                throw new ResourceNotFoundException(
                    "KM resource not found: " + resPath,
                    resPath);
            else {
                IContent kmContent = new Content(inputStream, mimeType, -1);
                IResource kmResource = kmCollection.createResource(resName, null, kmContent);
        catch (ResourceException e) {
            throw new ResourceAccessException("Error accessing KM resource: " + resPath, e, resPath);
        finally {
            try {
                inputStream.close();
            catch (IOException e1) {
                throw new ResourceAccessException("Error closing InputStream when accessing " + resPath, e1, resPath);
Hope that helps for a start.

Upgrade coldfusion server from 9 to vesion 10

I need instruction on upgrading coldfusion server from 9 to 10 on windows 2008 server. Thanks.

Although no database was created, it should allow me to connect to sqlplus using
SQL>connect / as sysdba in order to access system tables."connect" means connect to a database, and system tables are within a database. If you don't have any, then no system tables.
And I have already configure the listener.The listener is independent from databases, it listens for any databases registered with it.
It may be running, but if no active databases, it listens for nothing.

Unable to resolve Apache-Tomcat after 5.0.2 Upgrade / Content Server Install

I recently upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. With 5.0.1, I was able to resolve to http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080 as well as http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080/ptcsand http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080/ptcs/diagnosticsTest.jsp. However, after upgrading to 5.0.2, I am unable to resolve to any of these URLs. The 'Content Server' admin. folder shows up within the admin. ui and all necessary objects are there. Other than the upgrade, no other changes were made to the server. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you upgrade to Tomcat 4.1.27LE version ?

Upgrade Content Server and Site Studio

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to upgrade both Content Server and Site Studio from 7.1 / 7.2.1 to
10gR3
1) Instead of updating existing instance we Installed new 10gR3 instance
Exported folder structure archive, layout files and data files from old instance
2) Imported into new 10gR3 instance.
3) Tried to upgrade sitestudio websites
4) Its created a project file but not adding any SiteStudio section properties
(ex. primaryURL, secondaryURL, IncludeSectionInNavigation etc.), if I open the site in
designer, it shows just blank site structure without any templates associated and all sections are disabled.
Any ideas on this??

Hi ,
If you are displaying the data from spaces only then all the operations like creating a web content , editing it etc can be done from Webcenter spaces itself .

Hello Gaghan,
From the error it seems that port 80 is being already used. Did you install the second Apache under a different user?
Can you please try using another port?

URL to content server from BI WAD not working

Hello,
I'm facing a problem using BI WAD in the portal ( Portal 7.0). When trying to jump from a BI WAD to display a scanned document hold in the content server( using signed URL generated by the function 'SCMS_URL_GENERATE'), a new window opens but the URL is cut.
For example:
Trying to reach :
http://SUP-CS-60.admin.ulb.priv:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVe
rsion=0046&contRep=DE&docId=E09738751CB99BF19B8B00155D483527&compId=data&acc

Shows a new window with :
http://SUP-CS-60.admin.ulb.priv:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?
But of course no document is shown. It seems like the parameters are gone from the URL.
(The URL is not to be suspected as it is working from BEX Analyser. So it seems like the URL is well generated but cut when the portal is making the jump to the Content Server).
Any idea of what could be done to resolve this?
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas

Hello,
I'm still stuck with this problem.
A related question maybe easier:
Is it possible from a WAD to open a document from the Content Server?
Thanks,

Upgrading Oracle Server from 8.1.5 to 9i

Hi,
We are currently having a suite of front-end applications that
are using the oracle server 8.1.5. It is a distributed database.
We would like to upgrade it to 9i. I need some clarificatons on
this regard.
The details of the applications accessing this server are as
follows:
a)Application#1 in Forms6.0(Both NLS and English)
b)Application#2 in Visual Basic 6.0 using OO4O and OCI
c)Application#3 in Java 1.2 using Oracle JDBC 2.0 and JRE
1.2.2,PERLdb and ORAPerl
1.Is it enough only to upgrade the server and just test the
applications? Or should we do some changes to the applications
like recompiling,etc..,
2.What will be the effort involved in achieving this?
Please let us know.
Thanks in advance,
Devender

I will answer one by one :
* there is nothing called unstable ,, you need only to upgrade on TEST platform at first and after upgrade put the upgraded server under all kind of tests for some time ( saying 2 months / 24 H ) ,, when you sure that EVERYTHING is working as wanted and that there is no compatibility problems between server and its clients
* 9i are on its second release I am working on it for more than a year now on production environments on Windows / Linux and HPUX ,, all raised problems were been solved and workarounds were been showed up for other problems ( nothing new here - as usual for all previous releases ).
* 9i have got scripts for upgrading databases from previous versions ,, for AIX MAYBE it needs to upgrade first to 817 ,, you need to be sure ( you can get to Metalink )
* It depends on the application complexity ,, if talking about 2 database users for instance then its OK ,, if we are talking about Oracle Applications database which have 360 database user then it is next to imposible ,, For import / export accross versions you need to get back to Meatlink for more information ,, also have a test environment prior to getting to your production platform

It depends largely on how you have installed Content Server but if you check the [Operating Manual for SAP Content Server|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/8c/e9ddbb5d9a524bbb7854d31b963248/frameset.htm] -> Special Procedures ...it should give enough info for your requirements.

Upload documents to DMS content server from other tcodes like MIRO

Hi Experts,
How can I upload my document to DMS content server through transactions like MIRO.

Hi Sunil,
You can't uplaod from different t-code, you need to upload it thru CV01n only. One exception is there which is BDC t-code SHDB for batch uploading. But from other t-code you can't uplaod a document into SAP DMS content server.
One another option is create a z-tcode for the same. i.e. for MIRO create ZMIRO.
In statndard environment you can attache but it will not saved in content server. Only thru CV01n it can be done.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Upgrade CE Server from SP0 to SP3

Ok. I found out why it is happening.
If I follow the section 3.1.2 and setup the site studio connection then everything is fine
3.1.2 Creating a Content Server Connection
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e13650/ssxa_creatingsites.htm#CIHJGHFC
If I try to create a content server connection from file->new->content server connection then I get a null pointer exception.
I am sure someone from Oracle will fix it soon. For now all is well with Site Studio.

Problem After Upgrading LC server from 8.0.1 to 8.2

Hello All,
After much hurdles, i was successfully able to upgrade my LiveCycle server from 8.0.1 to 8.2. Everything in adminui is working fine. In workbench (both in 8.0 and 8.2) also i'm able to open the processes and can edit.
Now my problem is i'm not able to open the resources from 8.2 workbench. But from 8.0.1 workbench i can open the resources as usual. May i know why this is happening. I dont know why it is trying to open the files from local machine instead of opening it from the server repository when i try to open it from the 8.2 workbench.
I'm getting the following error.
What is the reason?
Thanks
Deepak

Hello Paul,
Which file you are talking about. If you are talking about the .PDF file on the resources; For that matter none of the pdfs are opening. All the pdfs are opening in workbench 8.0.1 but not in workbench 8.2.1. Some how the files are trying to point to the local drive when we try to open in workbench and gives the warning that i have posted. We even deleted the .metadata folder then deleted the connection, then recreated it. Then also the problem still persists.
Please let me know why this is happening
Thanks
Deepak
