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,
Venky.

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

Hi Andrea,

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?

Hello Friends,
Any luck??

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.
Best regards,

Hi Robert and welcome to Apple Discussions,
There are adapters available that convert micro cards into fullsize ones.
You will also need a USB card reader if you do not have one.
Good luck,

DMS and Content Server in ECC 6

Dear colleagues.
IN ECC 6 there is a internal BSP based content server, that allows store the document in the main SAP Database.
In case of great number of documnets. managed in DMS, can in impact performance of all ECC 6 applications.
Does it make sence to install separate 640 Content server, or maybe install pure NW 2004S server, which wil run inly content sever BSP on separate database?
Regards
Vladimir

I would always recommend the use of the SAP HTTP Content Server (640 content server). The database on the SAP server itself is impractical for anything other than a dev or qa environment.

By using middleware how data can be passed from ecc to crm?

By using middleware how data can be passed from ecc to crm?

Hello,
If middleware setup is done for the data exchange between ECC and CRM, then you can use customizing objects
(available in txn R3AC3) and business objects (available in txn R3AC1) , and condition/pricing related objects in available in txn R3AC5, which can be used for extracting data from R/3 to CRM. You can also find some upload objects for uploading the data
from CRM to R/3.
You can use transaction R3AS, to perform the initial load of customizing/Biz objects.
Once initial load is done, any delta changes would come automatically to CRM by means of delta load.
You also have request load, using which you can download range of materials/BPs which are missing or needs to be updated in CRM.
If you have any specific questions, let me know.
Hope this helps!

Shanathala Kudva.

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,

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 :

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,

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.

Ravindra

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.

Email link to document in Content Server from SDV

Experts,
We would like to email links to documents stored on our Content Server while viewing them in the SAP Document Viewer. These documents are ArchiveLinks to invoices. When we use the 'Send object with note' button in SDV, the email sent contains a text file which has information about the invoice, not the document we are viewing. Does anyone know if what we are try to do is possible?
- Andrew

Hello Andrew,
You can right-click in open space to the right of the bottom row of icons to change the icons. Next select MORE TOOLS. In the File Toolbar, check the box for Email and this should solve the problem. Why SAP did not default this checkbox I will never know.
Thanks,
Tim

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.
