Hi,
DMS sizing (content server sizing) is an extra space provided to DMS documents apart from standard SAP Database storage.
this storage is mainly preferred where large amount of files (documents) need to be stored.
If standard SAP database is used then this will lead load on ECC server.
in order to avoid this, DMS content server is used.
Attributes considered are,
1) size of the content server depending upon the volume of documents in terms of word/excel/autocad etc per year and for projected 3-4 years.
2) depending upon the size of the content server estimated in 1, selection of hardware is required.
3) the platform on which this content server would be installed, it may be maxdb, 2003 server or unix etc.
hope this helps U..!
Thank You,
Manoj
award if useful..!

Uploading & Downloading Files into DMS Server using Web Dynpro Java

Hello Friends,
      I want to Upload a file from Portal to Document Management Server and to Download a file from Document Management Server to Portal, In short, I want to give the user the facility to Upload a File into DMS Sever via Portal and also to download the file from DMS Sever via Portal.
Can anybody give me a Input for the same from Both Java Development End as well as ABAP End, more inputs are required from ABAP end, since i have a very less ABAP Experience on working with DMS. Few Questions i have in my mind?
1. How to actually access the file contents with the help of Document Number?
2. With the help of Doc-Number we can extract the file from DMS sever but to provide a option for downloading in portal, the   RFC should convert the File Contents into X-String or is there some other way?
+3. While Uploading the Data should be given in Which format to RFC? Are there any limitation with respect to size or formats. Is there any Standard RFC i can use directly in WD4 Java application to upload the file into DMS Server and which will return me the Document Number? +
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Thank You.

Now, I am able to download the File in Portal via my WD4 Java Application from DMS Server by passing the Document Number, but I am facing the problem in downloading the PDF files, Its not working for PDF files. Please give me inputs for the same.
Thank You.

DMS server installation

Hello All,
I understand that DMS is part of ECC 6.0. However I have noticed in some threads a seperate content server is also installed. Could you please clear me the following doubts?
1.Do we need to install any other component like SAP content server for DMS? Is this mandatory?
2.Do we need to maintain landscape for DMS?
3.How do we Size the server for DMS?
4.Can i have any link for DMS documents?
Thanks is advance.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anandh
Answer to your Questions
1.Do we need to install any other component like SAP content server for DMS? Is this mandatory?
Content Server is used to store documents Such as MS Word, MS Excel, MSPowerpoint.
These Document consume very large amount of space more than 500GB's.This data is not advisable to store on Production server(SAP Database).So SAP recommeds Content Server. But Not Mandatory.Ther are also other methods to store Document as suggested by SAP.Please check this Link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/9d/24535403aa11d3951c00a0c92f024a/content.htm
2.Do we need to maintain landscape for DMS?
Yes.
3.How do we Size the server for DMS?
Please check with Basis Consultant for Sizing.Also Sizing has to done in considering the Clients requirements such as how many documents are created monthly , yearly, Percentage Increase per Year.These questions tells requirement of clients interms of Size of Content Server.
4.Can i have any link for DMS documents?

Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

Mad Parent,
I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
Signed,
Equally Mad Parent

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

SAP DMS server installation Query

Guys,
I would like to share my plans on DMS server installation under DEV,Quality,prod stage and requesting you all to validate and send me any comments if I am wrong anywhere.
-        We have 1 external DMS server of (250Gb capacity)
-     We are now in realization phase, As we know that we have 3 servers namly Development, quality and production server.
-     In Development Server we do Baseline DMS customization
-     In Quality server we do Integration testing
-     There will be as external computer with harddisk capacity of 80 GB,I will Install Content server CD and make that 80GB hard disk as content server for storing the documents, create content repository and store the documents which are to be tested under both development and quality server stage(Note : we can use SAP database for both testing purpose but If we load huge data there,it will slowdown the server drastically)
-     During the production server install the DMS server (250 gb) and define the content repository config under production server and start storing all the fresh document
-     Note: Since the tested documents are stored in local PC we can avoid all the tested documents under quality stage only,once the DMS server is installaed in production server we can freshly load the documents.
-     Note: I knew I have to install twice the Content server cd(once with 80 GB local hard disk and later with External DMS server)
This is how I planned, I request you to highlight the pain areas by this method else give me the confidence of how I planned?
I appreciate for immediate solution; also how does Kpro comes into picture here.
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S
DMS consultant

Hi Murali,
As per my understanding you want to keep a Temporary Content Server for your Dev & QA system but a full fledge 250GB Content server for Production.
This is a Good method you are following, i.e. when you go for production you will not have any junk data, you will be loading only fresh data (originals) into it.
There is nothing harm or pain in doing this, only thing is you have re-configure the Content Repository and Category in Production System (SAP).
Your Basis person has to open Production System for doing this Settings (Defining Content Repository and Content Category with Port, HTTP, etc)
Document Area to be ensured in each client at any point of time, Physical machine, IP address, Port etc.
You can maintain a Excel sheet with a following Columns:
<b>Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port.</b>
For Transaction OACT & OAC0.
Rest your method is fantastic.
Best Regards
Rehman

Configuring Oracle Application Server to use a user friendly url

Hi All,
I am having trouble configuring the apache httpd.conf file within an applicaton server to be able to use user-friendly urls for the infrastructure identity management tools server. I also need this for security reasons as well as hardware reasons - loadbalancing.
At the moment I have a standard setup, whereby the sso application server is using port 7777. I would like the user not to enter the port, but to enter just a standard url, like http://login.<company>.com.au, so that if the user needs to modify oid using the oiddas web application, they can enter something like http://login.<company>.com.au/oiddas/ rather than http://<machine host name>:7777/oiddas/. This would also be used by portal for sso logins.
From the standard installation, Apache was configured as follows:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
ServerName <machine host name>
DocumentRoot <root document folder>
Now reading the documentation from the Oracle Application Server Installation notes for the Http Server, they document how to do this (in the loadbalancer section - this will eventually be used in the hardware setup):
Port 80
Listen 7777
Listen 80
# Virtual Hosts
# This section is mandatory for URLs that are generated by
# the PL/SQL packages of the Oracle Portal and various other components
# These entries dictate that the server should listen on port
# 7777, but will assert that it is using port 80, so that
# self-referential URLs generated specify www.oracle.com:80
# This will create URLs that are valid for the browser since
# the browser does not directly see the host server.oracle.com.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:7777
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:7777>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
</VirtualHost>
# Since the previous virtual host entry will cause all links
# generated by the Oracle Portal to use port 80, the server.company.com
# server needs to listen on 80 as well since the Parallel Page
# Engine will make connection requests to Port 80 to request the
# portlets.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:80
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:80>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
<VirtualHost>
Note that I used slightly different names for the url's rather than the oracle names www.oracle.com and server.oracle.com
Now after applying this, I noticed not only could I not go to the oiddas from the original machine name, but also couldnt go there from the new machine name.
Also I was not even able to go to the standard index page whereby you can go to the enterprise manager for the application server, from either names.
The following urls provide me with "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au:7777/
http://<nameofmachine>:7777/
The following urls provide me with "Page Under Construction" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au/
http://<nameofmachine>/
Could someone please tell me why this is the case, considering I am using the installation procedures Oracle has published within the Oracle Http Server Admistrators Guide (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/netconf.htm#sthref379).
Cheers
Rodney

Hi Rondey,
Ik think that I can see your probleem.
Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
the second thing is just try to do the following steps
((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
Listen 7778
%%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
just add the following lines
Listen 80
Listen 8103
Listen 8102
NameVirtualHost *
NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
Hear from U,
Regards,
Hamdy

Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

DMS server error

Hi All,
Iu2019m getting an error in Transaction OAC0 while clicking on the Test Connection button. The message number is CMS025 (HTTP error: 401 Unauthorized).
Pl. help us to resolve the issue as because of that we are not able to use DMS server for creating the document and checking-in the documents in the DMS server and also not able to view the documents that are already checked-in the DMS server.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi All,
The issue was finally resolved.Steps I followed are as follows:
Reason: One of the hard disc got accidentally disconnected and server went down.
Solution: When hard disc was recovered our DMS server gets restarted but still it gave error "401: unauthorized" in tcode CSADMIN. Tried everything I know, searched in Google. Even run the below commands
dbmcli db_enum
dbmcli inst_enum
xinstinfo
sdbregview -l
sdbverify
And all shows DMS sever is fine. Then we raised an OSS to SAP and SAP gave us one program
"Go to SE38: Report RSHTTP20"
Give the values as below: In URI  Give the URL which you provided in your browser.
http://192.168.10.XX:1090/contentServer/contentserver.dll?serverInfo
RFC destination: SAPHTTPA
and the rest of the values let them be the default values. Do not change. Execute."
And then concluded the error response is from the IIS side and needs to be resolved by the vendor.We even checked the IIS service and there was no error.Finally we restarted all the Microsoft services again and it just started.
Thanks to all those who has given their valuable time to help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh

DMS Server Separate from R/3 server

Dear all;
Please tell me if we are using DMS server different from the R/3 server what configuration should be done .will it be done by ABAPer and or some additional configuration is required here?
Thanking you;
Regards;
Joydeep Mukherjee

Hi Joydeep,
DMS solution is part of ECC4.6,5.0,6.0 offering. It only needs to be turned on/configured. You would need a content,cache server/s in DMS for parking your documents based on your requirements.DMS configuration is done by a Functional Consultant,Content Server setup is Basis associates' responsibility and enhancements are managed by an ABAPer.

Redirecting documents to seperate Content Server

Hi all,
We have set up a seperate content server to store attachments to business activity documents. Currently our systen is set up to save the documents to the content server in the CRM box's web AS. How can I redirect the documents to the new server. How can I verify the documents are being saved to it. I have completed all the installation steps in the "Content Server for Win 6.30 Installation guide". I am using CRM 3.0

Table SOFFCONT1 attachments are stored that are recorded in the database logic of sap. That is if the id of the document not find it in this table means that you are storing away in a content server.
I've gotten crm attachments the content stored on a server.
The first thing I have done is create a content server-class CRM. OAC0 in, then I created the category AOCT taking the content. CSADMIN and I found that the content is running.
In transaction SKPR08 BDS_POC1 class I have assigned to the Z-server content that I created. and in all kinds of CRM type I have assigned the new Z category I created.
After the transaction SBDSV2 I created a new record with BUS1006 in this case because it was a contact in CRM and I have given the document class Z BDS_ATTACH the category of content.
The object (BUS) is obtained by a trace of the transaction and SWELS - SWEL (with some modification from the transaction in which I attach the document).
In SBDSV1 I've got to bus1006 BDS_LOC1 class.
And with that I have solved the problem.
