SRM file attachments to be maintained in a different server (content server

[Former Member]

Hi Sap Gurus

we are using Extended classic senario of SRM, and Shopping cart, PRs, POs are created in SRM and remains in SRM only, (no transfer to ECC / backend)

and here in Shopping cart, PRs, and POs we attach external files (word, Pdf, gif files) relevantly,

we have a requirement to transfer the SRM external files / documents attached in to a different content server,

the requirement is simple, as to not to Load the SRM server with external documents or attachments, we would like to have this documents in a different Server (here inside content server) so that the documents are accessed and retrived from Content server every time by SRM.

Going to Transaction OAC0, we could see there are different content repositories available, having Document area, and storage Type mainly SAP System database.

here let me know among the list of different content repositories available which one specifically deals with external file attachment storage, so that i can change the storage Type to a Content server

is this the correct way to transfer our SRM external files to a different Content server, or any other best methord please eloborate

Points sure for any correct answers,

Thanks and Regards

Priya

Hi all

We are currently holding shopping cart attachments on the local server but the customer now wishes to hold this on OpenText repository. I have successfully implemented the OpenText repository by changing the value against BBPFILESYST to our bespoke value; however when I do this I can no longer see the attachments that were previously stored locally!

Can someone please advise how this may be achieved or, conversely, how these 'old' attachments can be moved to OpenText?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

Use transaction OACT. Point the entry BBPFILESYS to the content repository that you would like to use.
