Cache Server and Interface Version 4.6

Use

You can use the cache server provided by SAP in conjunction with third-party content servers to cache documents while they are being read accessed.

Features

From Release 4.6B, you can use the SAP Content Server (see SAP Content Server) in conjunction with a cache server (see also SAP Note 216419, Multi-Level Caching and Content Server Proxies).

To allow you to use signed URLs between the SAP Content Server and the cache server, the content server component of the SAP Content Server HTTP Interface has been extended. These and other enhancements have already been implemented in the SAP Content Server. To differentiate the new extended version from the previous interface in the SAP system (version 4.5 or 0045), the new interface version is called version 4.6 or 0046.

If you want to use a third-party content server in a heterogeneous environment consisting of SAP Content Server, SAP's own cache server, and a third-party content server, the third-party content server needs to be enhanced so that it supports all SAP Content Server HTTP Interface 4.5 commands. The new command getCert must also be implemented so that the requirements for the new version of the interface are fulfilled.
