Content Server:::From FileSystem to DataBase

[ganimede_dignan]

Hi,

I've got a Content Server BOX 6.30 on Windows 2003 32 bit. This box hansn't a MaxDB instance so the repository is on filesystem.

Is it possibile to migrate from FileSystem to a DataBase repository? It's a folder of 3GB more or less.

In this context we would also move to a new server with Windows 2008 R2 and SAP Content Server 6.40.

Thank you.

Regards.

I think the easiest and safest option by far is as follows:

1. Create a new content repository pointing to the DB.

2. Use program DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT to relocate from one content repository to the other

Hi Ganimede,

Please refer to below 2 SAP notes. IT has solution for your requirement.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

sorry but it's too hard... it shouldn't be my case because the ABAP back-end it's already a ECC 6.0 (so, NetWeaver 7.00 based) and the Content it's already an HTTP Content base on a SAP Content Server 6.30... but, without MaxDB istance.

Into settings file:

Hi Ganimede,

You may create a new repository which is pointing to MaxDB database and execute the report attached to above SAP note in test mode and check the results.

I feel it should work.

Hi,

sorry... but, at last, it should be scenario described into SAP note: 1043676 - Migration of ArchiveLink Documents because the notes posted by you are for file-system repository without a content server.

Thank you.

Hi Ganimede,

Report mentioned in the SAP note uses only Archive ID definition to perform the migration

Old archive ID get migrated to new Archive ID.

Hence suggesting you to try with test mode and check the results.
