Some questions regarding SAP Content Server / Knowledge Warehouse

[bernd_speckmann]

Hi,

we are thinking about SAP Knowledge Warehouse which needs the SAP Content Server.

Is it possible to install the Conent Server together with a Solution Manager System where we would like to use the Knowledge Warehouse functionallity? The Conent Server needs his own database instance. Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?

What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40? Is there no 7.0? What about the future of the Content Server?

We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine? What about the database? Can I use the already installed DB of solution manager?

Thanks ahead

Bernd

If you have enougth resourses why not?

The Conent Server needs his own database instance.

This is are not true, you can install content server without MAX DB.

Is it possible to add it to the actually installed Maxdb for the Solution Manager?

Again why not, if you have correct max db version per PAM for content server (you need 2 DB instance second are for cache server) check pam for NW 7.0 (the PDF document) you find information about content server requirements here and in page --> Database components on same NW 7.0 PAM.

What is the actual version of the Content Server 6.30 or 6.40?

6.40 are last version,

We are running Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1. Is it possible to install the content server on the same machine?

Your OS are ? I'm install cont server 6.40 on system where NW 7.0 are installed without problem, do not know about NW EHP1 .... Good backup are start point .....

Thanks for your answer.

I think there are enough resources. The OS ist Windows Server 2003 R2 64Bit. MaxDB is on 7.7.04.

So what are the steps to install it if possible on the same server? Are there any installation guides / tutorials?

Where can I download SAP Content Server 6.40? I only can find 6.30.

Thanks ahead

The OS ist Windows Server 2003 R2 64Bit.

Let's suppose you had in mind x86_64

MaxDB is on 7.7.04

Per pam for Content server 6.40 are last supported -->

MAXDB 7.6 64-BIT WINDOWS SERVER 2003/X64 64BIT

Are there any installation guides / tutorials?

Yes you can find inst guide -->

https://service.sap.com/installnw70 --> below 3 - Installation - Standalone Engines -->

Installation - Content Server 6.40 on Windows

About from where to download, try to check on Presentation CD (from where you install the SAP GUI 7.10) or you can download from -->

https://service.sap.com/swdc --> Installations and Upgrades --> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -->

SAP NetWeaver -->SAP NETWEAVER >SAP NETWEAVER 7.0->Installation and Upgrade -->

Windows Server --> DB (oracle for example) --> and download for example like this

Yes, it is x86_64. But because of my MaxDB version I think I cannot install the content server on the solution manager system. It maybe could work, but is not supported. Am I right?

So are there any other options? Filesystem storage instead of MaxDB?

What other medium do I need to install? it seems, that the download link you provided doesn't contain everything I need...
