Storage Types (SAP Library - Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR))

Storage Types

Purpose

There are a number of different storage types. Each one has different advantages over the others. The storage category is selected on the basis of how the document in question is intended to be used:

HTTP content server
Either the SAP Content Server or a third-party content server can be used.

SAP database
If you want to store your documents in the SAP database, you need a content table. All your documents are stored in this table in the SAP database. The content table can be cross-client or client-specific.

RFC storage system
RFC is used for storing documents in the context of SAP ArchiveLink, the Archive Development Kit (ADK), or an application that uses SAP ArchiveLink or the ADK.

Logical repository
This storage type allows access to different physical repositories, independently of the client and the system ID.

Structure repository
The structure repository is only used in the SAP Knowledge Warehouse environment.
