Very large files checkin to DMS/content server

Dear experts,
We have DMS with content server up and running.
However, there is a problem with very large files (up to 2GB!) - these files cannot be checked in due to extremely long upload times and maybe GUI limitations.
Does anyone have suggestions how we could get very large files into the content server ? I only want to check them in (either via DMS or directly to the content server) and then get the URL back.
best regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
unfortunatly there is a limit for files regarding the Content Server which is about 2GB. Please note that such large files will cause very long upload times. If possible I would recommend you to split the files to smaller parts and try to check it in.
From my point of view it is not recommended to put files directly on the Content Server, because this could lead to inconsistencies on the Content Server.
Best regards,
Christoph

  • HR Benefit-Claim Attachments from portal & linkage to DMS content server

    Hello DMS Experts,
    Our client is using standard HR functionality for telephone bill claim and attaching scanned bill copy through enterprise portal during creation of claim.
    Due to higher frequency of file upload there is issue that PCL4 cluster size increased upto 600 GB within short time & total available size in 800 GB.
    In the above scenario, client is expecting solution from DMS side to resolve this issue. Clients main concern is to reduce attachment load from ECC server. Could you help me how to arrest this problem through DMS functionality?
    1. I tried to find the solution through Archive linking as there is no standard DMS object link for HR.
    I got following Object type with link TOAHR. ( PREL, PAPL, PBS_NOTIF, CERTIFPAYD, EMPLOYTXDE, GLOBASSIGN, GLOBASSIGN ), but I failed to get object type for Employee No. & Claim No. to link the document through OAAD transaction.
    Do you know the Archive linking object type to link the document to employee no. & claim no. ?
    2. Since default Storage type setting for  HR repository "HR_KW_CONT" is SAP System Data base,  If I create standard HR repository "HR_KW_CONT" (assuming PCL4 cluster attachments stored in this repository) on DMS content server through OACT transaction, can i divert the attachment from SAP data base  to content server?
    3. If you have any other solution to resolve this issue, please guide me.
    I look forward to your response.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Thanks&Regards,

  • Upload very large file to SharePoint Online

    Hi,
    I tried uploading very large files to SharePoint online via the REST API using JAVA. Uploading files with a size of ~160 mb works well, but if the filesize is between 400mb and 1,6 gb I either receive a Socket Exception (Connection reset by peer) or an error
    of SharePoint telling me "the security validation for the page is invalid". 
    So first of all I want to ask you, how to work around the security validation error. As far as I understand the token, which I have added to my X-RequestDigest header of the http post request seems to be expired (by default it expires after 1800 seconds).
    Uploading such large files is time consuming, so I can't change the token in my header while uploading the file. How can I extend the expiration time of the token (if it is possible)? Could it help to send post requests with the same token
    continuously while uploading the file and therefore prevent the token from expiration? Is there any other strategy to upload such large files which need much more than 1800 seconds for upload?
    Additionally any thoughts on the socket exception? It happens quite sporadically. So sometimes it happens after uploading 100 mb, and the other time I have already uploaded 1 gb.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, the reason I'm looking into this is so users can migrate there files to SharePoint online/Office 365. The max file limit is 2gb, so thought I would try and cover this.
    I've looked into that link before, and when I try and use those end points ie StartUpload I get the following response
    {"error":{"code":"-1, System.NotImplementedException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The
    method or operation is not implemented."}}}
    I can only presume is that these endpoints have not been implemented yet, even though the documentation says they only available for Office 365 which is what  I am using. 
    Also, the other strange thing is that I can actually upload a file of 512mb to the server as I can see it in the web UI. The problem I am experiencing is get a response, it hangs on this line until the TimeOut is reached.
    WebResponse wresp = wreq.GetResponse();
    I've tried flushing and closing the stream, sendchunked but still no success

    Hi,
    Thanx for the info.
    We are using the SAP data base only for storing the documents. I will be selecting KPro for doc. types. In this case I don't require any content server.
    I have gone thru the PDF of SAP Content Server for Windows Installation Guide and noted down the following info:
    1. caluclation methodology and compression for each type of document (say doc / PDF etc). and noted
    2. Increase in data over perticular period
    3. on an average how many users accessing documents at a perticular time.
    I have done the following settings Maintain Storage System in OAC0.
    Content Rep. : DMS_C1
    Document area- DMS Document management system
    Storage type - 03 SAP system data base
    Rep. Sub type - Normal

    Shall I know what is the use of Physical path. What should be given correctly. More over I am trying to create ne wone it is greyed out (display mode)
    ThenI assigned Storage system to Storage Category in OACT in the following way :
    Document Area : DMS
    Content Rep. : DMS_C1
    DMS_CONT1_CD1 Table already created. When I see the table
    PH_CLASS ; SDOKPHCL (SDOK: Physical information object classe)
    Is it all required from bais side or server side.  All places I found  info regd. HTTP Content Server only. For that reason I want to confirm.
    Or else pls. let me know where can I get the required info.

  • Unable to copy very large file to eSATA external HDD

    I am trying to copy a VMWare Fusion virtual machine, 57 GB, from my Macbook Pro's laptop hard drive to an external, eSATA hard drive, which is attached through an ExpressPort adapter. VMWare Fusion is not running and the external drive has lots of room. The disk utility finds no problems with either drive. I have excluded both the external disk and the folder on my laptop hard drive that contains my virtual machine from my Time Machihne backups. At about the 42 GB mark, an error message appears:
    The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "Windows1-Snapshot6.vmem" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
    After I press OK to remove the dialog, the copy does not continue, and I cannot cancel the copy. I have to force-quit the Finder to make the copy dialog go away before I can attempt the copy again. I've tried rebooting between attempts, still no luck. I have tried a total of 4 times now, exact same result at the exact same place, 42 GB / 57 GB.
    Any ideas?

    Still no breakthrough from Apple. They're telling me to terminate the VMWare processes before attempting the copy, but had they actually read my description of the problem first, they would have known that I already tried this. Hopefully they'll continue to investigate.
    From a correspondence with Tim, a support representative at Apple:
    Hi Tim,
    Thank you for getting back to me, I got your message. Although it is true that at the time I ran the Capture Data program there were some VMWare-related processes running (PID's 105, 106, 107 and 108), this was not the case when the issue occurred earlier. After initially experiencing the problem, this possibility had occurred to me so I took the time to terminate all VMWare processes using the activity monitor before again attempting to copy the files, including the processes mentioned by your engineering department. I documented this in my posting to apple's forum as follows: (quote is from my post of Feb 19, 2008, 1:28pm, to the thread "Unable to copy very large file to eSATA external HDD", relevant section in >bold print<)
    Thanks for the suggestions. I have since tried this operation with 3 different drives through two different interface types. Two of the drives are identical - 3.5" 7200 RPM 1TB Western Digital WD10EACS (WD Caviar SE16) in external hard drive enclosures, and the other is a smaller USB2 100GB Western Digital WD1200U0170-001 external drive. I tried the two 1TB drives through eSATA - ExpressPort and also over USB2. I have tried the 100GB drive only over USB2 since that is the only interface on the drive. In all cases the result is the same. All 3 drives are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    I know the files work on my laptop's hard drive. They are a VMWare virtual machine that works just fine when I use it every day. >Before attempting the copy, I shut down VMWare and terminated all VMWare processes using the Activity Monitor for good measure.< I have tried the copy operation both through the finder and through the Unix command prompt using the drive's mount point of /Volumes/jfinney-ext-3.
    Any more ideas?
    Furthermore, to prove that there were no file locks present on the affected files, I moved them to a different location on my laptop's HDD and renamed them, which would not have been possible if there had been interference from vmware-related processes. So, that's not it.
    Your suggested workaround, to compress the files before copying them to the external drive, may serve as a temporary workaround but it is not a solution. This VM will grow over time to the point where even the compressed version is larger than the 42GB maximum, and compressing and uncompressing the files will take me a lot of time for files of this size. Could you please continue to pursue this issue and identify the underlying cause?
    Thank you,
    - Jeremy

  • To featch the documents (.PDF,.DOC etc) from DMS (Content server)

    I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database

    > I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database
    Ok, where's the question in this post?
    Anyhow, SAP content server is available on MaxDB only.
    The documents in it are stored in LOB-columns with a content server-internal format.
    To get the stored files back as documents they must be fetched via the content server.
    Once the files are correctly received from the content server you may store them to another database again.
    But there is no direct way to move them from MaxDB content server to Oracle.

    Points Awaiting for usefull answers.
    Thanks and Kind Regards
    Priya S

    Hi Priya,
    If i understand your question correctly you want to transfer documents which are attached at the shopping cart level in SRM to flow in to ECC at PR or PO level? If that the case following steps require to have documents flow into ECC.
    SRM Side:
    Implement BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW (If you are on classic scenario i.e. Shopping cart to PR creation) or BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW (For extended classic) with following code:
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
    cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
    ECC Side:
    -Create new document type for SRM with T.code DC10. Following parameters need to be set for that
    a.     Check Use KPro
    b.     Check Version Assignment
    c.     Check Change Docs
    d.     Assign Internal number range as u201C02u201D and external number range as u201C01u201D
    e.     Select Number Exit u201CMCDOKZNRu201D
    f.     Version number increment u201C1u201D
    g.     File Size u201C10000000u201D
    -     Assign following Object links to the new created document type u201CSRMu201D.
    a.     Type as u201CSRMu201D
    b.     Object as u201CEBANu201D and u201CEKPOu201D respectively
    c.     Object description as u201CPurchase req. itemu201D and u201CPurchase order itemu201D respectively
    d.     Screen number u201C247u201D for EBAN and u201C248u201D for EKPO.
    - Request basis to verify DC30 transaction code that all the necessary document type are allowed to x'fer (i.e. .doc, .xls , .jpg etc)
    With this setting we were able to successfully transfer document from SRM side to ECC side.
    Thanks

  • Trex - DMS - Content Server

    I have two instances os SAP R/3, which one with one Content Server
    I have also the SAP Portals connect to DMS using SAP DMS Connector
    In the portal, through content management, I can see the originals files sotred in the Content Server.
    Buuut, using the search (TREX) I can find the info records of the document stored in DMS but when I click on the file to see the original (doc, ppt, pdf) an ip authentication of the content serverscreen appears to me.
    How can I solve that? Is a problem in the Portal or in the Content Server? Remeber that through content management, I can see the originals files sotred in the Content Server

    Hi,
    you are using a DMS and the NetWeaver Portal with the DMS Repository Manager.
    If you are Content Admin in the Portal than in this case no permissions will be check regarding the documents from the DMS.
    But when you are a normal (non-admin) user in the portal than the permission will be checked in the backend system (DMS).
    You must have configured SSO from the Portal to DMS. Do you have done this?
    This will be done withe the portal system object. You can define User-Mapping or SSO if the portal account name is the same like the DMS account name. For SSO you have to do some more steps for accepting the SAP Logon ticket.
    Best regards

  • How do I control read start position in a very large file where start byte position may be larger than I32 (+/- 2^31)?

    Using LabView, I am trying to read a very large file which may be on the order of 2^32 bytes. I need to be able to step into the file at a byte position which may be greater than the I32 limit set by the read file.vi. Are there any options to the read file.vi or a method of circumventing this limitation?

    I'm not sure but i think that you can manage the "pos mode" in the "seek" sub-vi.
    The "pos mode" let you choose the initial position to add the numbers of bytes you want to move.
    I think that you can add a i32 number from the "initial" in the "pos mode" an latter use the "pos mode" in "current" to add another value. Then the next time you can move more than 2^31 bytes to the initial position.
    I hope you understand my idea, i wasn't try it before, but i think that would work.

  • Exporting to iTunes results in a very large file

    I have been making music on Garageband and when I export it to itunes, it becomes a very large file. This makes disables me from being able to post my music on my website or email it. What can I do to make the file smaller?
    imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.9 GHz PowerPC G5

    You should convert your file to an MP3 in iTunes:
    - Make sure that in the import options of iTunes, MP3 is selected.
    - Mark your song in iTunes and select "convert to MP3" in the menu.
    - This creates a new file in iTunes with the same title. If you don't know which is which, apple-I will tell you if it's an AIFF or an MP3, and the file size.

  • How do share a very large file?

    How do share a very large file?

    Do you want to send a GarageBand project or the bounced audio file?  To send an audio file is not critical, but if you want to send the project use "File > Compress" to create a .zip file of the project before you send it.
    If you have a Dropbox account,  I'd simply copy the file into the Dropbox "public" folder and mail the link. Right-click the file in the Dropbox, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies an Internet link to your file that you can paste anywhere: emails, instant messages, blogs, etc.
    2 GB on Dropbox are free.     https://www.dropbox.com/help/category/Sharing
