Process Flow

The individual steps that are required to implement distributed scenarios in the SAP system and their sequence are shown in the graphic below.

The procedure comprises the following steps:

  1. Call up the Content Server Administration screen (see the section on Content Server Administration for general information and the section

    on Content and Cache Server Administration for detailed information). Alternatively, call the appropriate program provided by your archive provider. Specify your content server and its port number. On the Create tab page (see also Creating New Content Repositories), create a new content repository on your content server.

  2. You now need to make your new repository known to the SAP system. To do so, choose the icon in the Content Server Administration screen for the repository you have just created. This opens the maintenance screen for repositories (see Content Repositories). The system automatically enters the correct values in all of the required fields and copies over the description. Save the data for your new content repository by choosing .

  3. Use transaction OACT to maintain the associated category for your repository (see Content Categories).

  4. Create a location (see Locations).

  5. Maintain the location for IP subnets (see IP Subnets).

  6. If necessary, maintain the location for hosts (see Hosts).

  7. Maintain the data for the cache servers you want to use (see Caches).

  8. If you are using an authoring scenario, you can also define settings for distributing categories (see Distributing Categories).

  9. If you want to use different Web servers to display content at different locations, maintain the Web servers for document spaces (see Web Servers for Document Areas) and for logical document classes (see Web Servers for Document Classes).
