Using Several Database Instances

Use

By default, all repositories on a content server use just one Database Instance. You can however distribute the repositories across several database instances, for example, if you want to handle the repositories differently when making backups.

You install the required SAP DB instances when installing the Content Server or using the Database Manager GUI.

If required, you can manually create multiple websites, so that you can run multiple Content Servers on one machine. Use the Microsoft Management Console to do this. In the IIS, open the context menu for the node SAP Content Server, and choose Start of the navigation path New Next navigation step Website End of the navigation path to open the Website Creation Wizard.

In the Wizard, you are asked for the IP address, port settings, the path on which the website home directory should be created, and the access authorizations for the home directory.

Once you have created the new website, it appears in the tree structure.
