Content Server Configuration

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to attach contract documents (.doc and .xls) to the transaction ME33K.

The volume is estimated to 1000 X (4 files of max 250 KB per year. So approx. 1 Gb / year.

Currently I use the GOS but I do not want to store my files in the database.

I think the SAP Content Server is not adapted to my low volume. So I implemented the service http content server (in tr. SICF) but I can not configure it to a store my files on FS.

Can you help me set up my CS to use FS or explain a better solution.

I'm use NW2004 on Sun Solaris 5.9

Regards

You can use content server to store on filesystem too - no need to use a database to store the files.

SAP advices the usage of the SAP DB because it has administration tools. A file system has to be administrated and access has to be restricted according to execution rights of users. The advantage of the SAP DB is that it already has tools for administration and security.

The SAP Content Server stores content on a separate SAP DB, This is also easy and straight forward to setup & administrating.

It doesn't matter how much size of the database and the growth of the database will be
