Writing files to DBFS repository externally

91 Views

We have developed our own application system that uses an ABAP program in R/3 to create folders and pdf files on OS level (i.e. Windows). These changes in the file system are then synchronized to the FSDB repository automatically by KM so that our users can access these pdf files through the portal. But there was a severe drop in performance once the no. of folders has reached 8000+ and no. of files reached 90000+. So we are now considering switching to a DBFS repository as recommended by the KM performance tuning guide and OSS note 900571. However, unlike FSDB, files/folders created on the OS level are not accessible in a DBFS repository.

Are there any ways to make these files/folders created in Windows visible in a DBFS repository? any ways to write to a DBFS repository externally, or one must create the folders/files via KM API/web services?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
