XI Content Server directory

hi,
I am doing a EDI scenario using Itemfields Conversion agent(Content master).It is a FILE-XI-R/3 scenario. I have done the necessary configurations in the Conversion agent. I need to deploy this in the "XI Content Server directory"
Can anyone tell me where do i find the path of the "XI Content Server directory"...?

Hi mithun,
Import the ESR content by first copying the export files provided into an import directory on the host of the Enterprise Services Builder and then importing the files into the Enterprise Services Repository. In the following steps, <systemDir> denotes the path for the system directory of the host (generally, <systemDir> corresponds to \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\SYS\global).

Copy any kind of file from content server to network directory

Helli All
The question:
I nee to copy any kind of file from content server to any network directory.
Explanation
1. transaction CV02N
2. There is attached file for a document in tab "Document data/Original"
3. This file stored in content server
4. I wrote program code that creates path of the stored file that finally looks like
http://cont:8888/ContentServer.dll?get&Version=.....*...&compid=app1.doc
where app1.doc is file's name and I have to copy this file into network directory.
The problem is that this URL open the file instead of just pointing to him
so that no function or method can't see this file and as the result I got message that
the file doesn\t exist.
Please, advice.
Regards,
Daniel.

many many thanks for ur help. i really did not check the URLClassLoader properly.
but i would like to hear a little more from u. i have another question. here in this code (provided earlier), i searched for attribute values in the manifest file, then again i load the required class file from the very url. is it not good to retrieve the whole jar file first, and then check attribute values inside manifest file and load the required class files from that jar file that is already downloaded without going to that url again? how can i do this?

Content Server - Publish to Directory Feature

Is there anyway to automatically publish content items to a folder in the Knowledge Directory in addition to the publishing target within Content Server? I see that you can rclick on individual "articles" and publish them to the KD. We just want that to happen automatically whenever an item is published.

The "reference" Content Item would use a Data Entry Template that had an item reference property, and a Presentation Template which just used the Insert tag on that item property, e.g. <pcs:insert expr="My_Item"></pcs:insert>.
Then you could create "reference" Content items that refered that item you want published multiple times, placing those "reference" Content items in a folder with a different publishing target. Thus when that "reference" item is published, it will effectively publish the item to which it refers to a different location. You could also employ the Related Item Publishing feature contained in the Data Entry Template in order to automate this somewhat, so that when one item is published the other is published automatically as well.
But this is all a bit of a hack and awkward. If you need to rely on identical published content existing in multiple places in a production setting, I still recommend using a file replication utility.

Content Server 6.40 Presents a Save As dialog for ContentServer.dll file

hi All
we have installed successfully the content server 6.40 on a windows 2008 with iis 7 environment. The installation wen successfully with no errors. however when we run a test by calling the URL http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo URL, instead of getting a response, we are getting a save as file dialog to save the dll file. Also, after the installation, even with the install website tick checked, the website was not installed. we had to do the installation of the website manually for the port.
With content server 620 on windows 2000 this was never the case
if anywone has an idea on how to resolve the issue, please advice
Regards
Ronny

GOT the Solution
to anyone else who could be going through the same issue, see if the solution below solves your issue
The website should get created if all the roles in IIS 7.0 are installed. Therefore, please try to install the IIS 7.0 by selecting
all the roles followed by installation of the SAP Content Server. By doing so, websites should be created automatically.
In the IIS 7.0, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default. Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0 is installed, as per the installation manual for the Content Server on Windows 2008:
Roles needed in IIS 7.0.

Error in Starting DMS(Content Server)

Dear all,
I get the following error while starting the Content server on unix.
i am unbale to start the server , pls assist.
$ pwd
/home/sapcs/bin
$ apachectl start
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libucb.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

Regards,

That simply sounds like the PATH for libucb.so.1 is not maintained in your env variables.
That should fix the problem

Search Service for Content Server Items

Does Plumtree EDK provide any API to develop search service to search into specific Content Server items as it provides to search within a specific folder of Knowldege Directory

Vivekvp wrote:
Or can someone explain to me what the Search Service does. Before 10.3.0 I think it was integrated with the search.The Collab Admin: Search Service page has a button that allows you to rebuild your search collection.
It shows you the uptime, your install directory, the number of objects indexed and the number pending index requests.
"A rebuild resubmits every item in the database to the Search Service. This procedure is useful in two situations. It can be used to load all data in the database into an empty, freshly installed Search Service. It can also be used to replace the contents of an existing search collection in the unlikely event that it has become corrupted. Note: This operation can be lengthy and computationally expensive and should only be performed if necessary. "
Wish I could be of more help.
Our index has 25.2k files and it took about 5 seconds for the page to load for me - I thought it might timeout too!
Best of luck.

Error while starting the content server

Hi,
I have installed UCM and when i start the content server, it says it was succesful but logs show the below error.
Unable to publish the schema. Published schema directory could not be swapped into its proper location. [ Details ]
An error has occurred. The stack trace below shows more information.

ANy idea wats going on.
I have done the required changes in the confd of the webserver, Content server is accessible from the webpage. I am also able to login as sysadmin.
Not sure wats going wrong.
Thanks

You can sometimes get issues on the file system with file locking occurring and so UCM can not clear up/move the schema files properly.
It may not be this but...There should me a metalink note about this deleting schema directories.

Store document into Content Server

Dear All;
l have the following requirement for Content Server;
- Generate the PR/PO form via print program.
-Approver's signature will be display accordingly by the approval level.               EG: 1st level approver 'A' have been approved. Signature of approver 'A' will be display on the generated PR/PO form.                                        - Convert the generated form into PDF format.                         -To attach the supporting document via Generic Object Services (GOS).               -To store the PDF form & attached documents into Archived Link content server with URL address returned.
-An notification mail will send to respective approver based on release strategy configuration.
Basically it is Workflow integrate with Content Server. There are few thing for me to do here:
1. Store the PO/PR document into Content Server
2. Run the workflow and view the attachement and add new attachement to Content Server from the Workflow process.
3. Return the URL address to the user for the document that saved into Content Server
l'm trying to do the first requirement now.
The user will create the PR in tcode ME52N and PO in tcode ME22N, they can create the attachement and view the attachement, and the attachement are stored in the ECC6 database.
l have installed the Content Server 6.40 with Filesystem (not the MaxDB) cause user do not want to buy the MaxDB license.
The Content server 6.4 installation is completed, l can configure the CSDMIN in ECC6,
In OAC0, l have created the Content Repository=ZA,
Document Area = ARCHIVELINK
Storage type = 04 HTTP Content server
Version=0046
Http Server = 10.120.0.10
Port Number = 1090
HTTP Script= ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
Transfer drctry =
10.100.0.10\cm\exdir   /# \cm\exdir is a directory in Content Server. #/
the physical directory created in the Content Server as
10.120.0.10\cm\za
In OAC2, l have created a new Document type=ZCS, the document class=PDF
In OAC3, l have created the following:
Object Type= BUS2012, Document Type= ZCS, Link=X, Cont.Rep.ID=ZA, Link=TOA01, Rentention=99
Object Type= BUS2105, Document Type= ZCS, Link=X, Cont.Rep.ID=ZA, Link=TOA01, Rentention=99
(Honestly, l'm not quite sure the BUS2012 will work, it created by functional team, which l'm sure it actually represent the business object for PO and PR)
With these, l think the linkage between business object and logical archive is established, but when l saved the attachement in ME22N and ME52N, the document still save into ECC6 Database, not the Content Server, because in the /cm/za directory in the Content server still empty.
Anyone please advise any documentation/steps do store the document in Content Server from PO/PR and with returned URL to the users.
Please help..
Many thanks
Jordan

Dear all;
Thanks for the information, l manage to store document actually.
l used the OAAD to test to stored, once it is working, then l can use the option 'Store business document" ME23N and ME52N transaction code.
One question here l would like to check:
The WorkFlow team said that the Generic Object Service (GOS) - "Create Attachement" option in ME23N can actually store the document to Content Server instead of store into R3 Database. He claimed some Basis have done it before, can anyone clarify if it is true?
In OAC0, l have ZB Content Repository, set the "Storage Type = 04 HTTP Content Server" in order to save the document to Content Server. The Document Area=Archive Link.
With these setting l can only use the "Store Business Document" option to store the document to Content Server, not the "Create Attachement".
l try to change the Document Area with different option like DMS, BDS etc but l can't get the Content Rep ID for ZB in OAC3 to link the Object Type?
Anyone can help?
Many thanks.

Content Server Installed but doesnt respond

Hi,
 I have installed the Content server on Win2K3 as given in the installation guide.I have installed for file storage on the file system.
 After installation i got the message that everything is ok.But then when i execute the command
http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
 I get the response as page cannot be displayed.I want to use the content server for DMS storage so that i can use KPro instead of the vault.
 Same thing when i do
http://<server>:<port>/
 I get a pop-up asking for the user-name and password but when i give the user name as administrator and password it doesnt allow access.
 Please advise

Note Number : 361123
Symptom
You want the SAP Content server to work properly.
Other terms
Signed URLs, AdminSecurity, SsfVerify failed
Reason and Prerequisites
The SAP Content Server was installed in accordance with the installation guide. For new installations, we recommend that you use the latest released version of the SAP Content Server, regardless of the SAP System release to which the SAP Content Server is connected.
Solution
This note provides additional information on different aspects of security when using the SAP Content Server.
Security against data loss
 The SAP server content stores the contents of the confidential document either in an SAP-DB instance or in the file system. To avoid data loss, the usual measures for databases and file systems are taken. These are only mentioned briefly here: Redundant hardware (mirror disks, raid systems and so on), regular backup (log files, backup). When you back-up the Content Server, note that you also have to save the ContentServer.ini configuration file as well as the Security directory in addition to backing up the database instance or the directories of the file system used for document content.
 Note 319332 describes backup strategies for a Content Server with database folders.
 SAP does not have a tool for backing up file system folders. In this case it is the responsibility of the customer to select and convert the backup strategy. Here you should note that, for a complete and consistent backup of a file system folder, it may be necessary to shut down the Content Server for the duration of the backup.
Security against unauthorized accesses on filed contents
 Before you access the content server, an authorization check usually occurs in the SAP system. However, the content server is usually accessed using a disclosed HTTP log. To make sure that only authorized accesses are possible, 'signed URLs' must be used. Signed URLs are URLs that were signed by the SAP system. You can recognize signed URLs because they are considerably longer than unsigned URLs and contain additional parameters. The signed URL, in particular, contains the additional parameters expiration (expiry time) and secKey (digital signature). A signed URL is only valid if the expiry time has not yet been exceeded and if it contains a valid signature. In order that the signature can be checked by the content server, the public key (certificate) of the SAP system must be stored on the content server and tagged for the corresponding repository. Transactions OAHT, OAC0 (as of 4.6C) and CSADMIN (as of 4.6C for SAP content server) are used to transfer the certificate. The certificate must be activated on the content server for the repository. Use CSADMIN to do this (for SAP Content server).
 In order that the digital signature of the SAP system can be used properly, EVERY SAP system must have its own unique certificate. To ensure this, a 'PSE' must be generated once in every SAP system after this SAP system is developed. Use transaction PSEMAINT to do this (note 354819).
 To protect the connection between the Content Server and its SAP-DB instance, the name and password of the database user can be changed and stored in encrypted format in the configuration of the content server. For details, see note 661852.
Access control for the administration
 The content server is partly administered from within the SAP system, and partly from outside it. When it is administered from outside, you must ensure that only authorized persons have (administrative) access to the server on which the content server is running. The (administrative) access to the database (note 212394) must be restricted accordingly.
 In order that administrative accesses from the SAP system are only possible for authorized persons, the parameter AdminSecurity must be set to 1 in the content server. You will find details on this in the installation documentation of the SAP Content Server.
Protection against server hardware outage
 The Windows version of the SAP Content Server can also be installed in an MSCS environment (Microsoft Cluster Server). For more detailed information, see "SAP Content Server 6.20 in an MSCS Environment", dated March 4, 2003, in the "News" section on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/ha
 The duration of the non-availability of content servers, cache servers and alias servers can be reduced with the automated operator intervention described in note 484459.

Timeout when retrieving document from Content Server

Dear experts,
after the migration of an R/3 Enterprise system with a file-based Content Server (CS without database) we experience significant delays when a document shall be retrieved from the Content Server and displayed.
The repository, from which documents are retrieved, has the following properties:
Document Area = ArchiveLink
Storage Type = HTTP content server
Obviously the delay is caused by time-outs when R/3 tries to access the content sever.
The RFC trace recorded during the document retrieval contains the following entries:
Trace file opened at 20100825 104048 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3
Trace file opened at 20100825 104115 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3

I wonder why R/3 first attempts to contact the Content Server via the SAPCMS RFC destination rather than using HTTP (SAPHTTP)? - The connection tests for both RFC connections are successful.
Is there a way to instruct R/3 to go via the SAPHTTP RFC destination as the first choice and NOT via SAPCMS when documents shall be retrieved and displayed?
Thank you,
Rainer Walter

Hi Ravindra,
thank you for looking into this problem. The Content Server is not based on SAP DB/MaxDB. The repositories are represented as plain directory structures in a file system.
My issue is that R/3 is not using the SAPHTTP RFC connection as first choice although the repository is flagged as "HTTP Content Server" but uses another RFC destination instead. When this attempt is timed out, R/3 eventually picks the appropriate RFC destination. So it takes a considerable amount of time until a requested document is finally retrieved from the repository in the Content Server.
I am confused because the system where I experience this behaviour has been built from a system copy of a production system, and the Content Server for this new system has been built from scratch. In the original production system, no timeout is found when users are retrieving documents, and obviously the original R/3 system is using SAPHTTP right away. The original production system and the new system built from a system copy are accessing different Content Servers.
I am looking for a way to instruct the new R/3 system to immediately use the SAPHTTP connection when talking to the Content Server, and I would be grateful for a hint where I can configure this to get rid of these timeouts.
Best regards,
Rainer

Recover deleted document from Oracle content server

Hi All,
I've deleted some of documents from oracle content server mistakenly. I am using oracle ucm11g.
I found that we have a feature called "Trash bin". Trash-bin used for recover the deleted document/folder but unluckily settings for "Trash Bin" is disabled in my UCM folder configuration.
Is there any other way to recover?
Please kindly help me on this. It's an urgent production issue, please.
Thanks for your great support in advance.

Is there any other way to recover?
Try to take a look at Repository Manager admin application: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c03_repository.htm#DAFCGDIE
If you still can see your items there, you could recover the status.
If not, I'm afraid your documents are gone from UCM. In that case, you might recover them from a back-up. There is also a chance that documents are still present in the Vault directory, so rather than 'recover', you might 're-submit' them.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.

Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

Rehman
