Storage Types

Definition

Use

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.

• 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 Data Archiving with the Archive Development Kit (ADK), or an application that uses SAP ArchiveLink or the ADK.

• Logical repository This storage category allows physical repositories to be accessed according to the client and the system ID.

• Structure repository Usually, no settings are required here. The structure repository is only used in conjunction with SAP Knowledge Warehouse.
