Content Server for Business Workplace Documents

Use

For the Knowledge Provider to be able to store documents on the content server, a class for these documents must be created. In the Knowledge Provider the class SOFFPHIO is provided for Business Workplace documents. Storage categories are assigned to this class with content repositories.

As shown in the graphic, SOFFDB is the default content category assigned to the SOFFPHIO class. This means the documents are stored on the SAP DB. To use the SAP Content Server or an external content server, you have to make some settings. Then you can store Business Workplace documents on the content server.
