Providing WebDAV Server as Archive Store for XML DAS Archiving

Use

If you want to store resources that you archived using XML Data Archiving Service (XML DAS) on a WebDAV server, you need to define the connection to the WebDAV server in the AS Java on which XML DAS runs. To avoid timeouts when communicating with the WebDAV server, you can adjust the corresponding parameter values as required.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed a WebDAV Server.

  • To create a connection between XML DAS and the WebDAV Server, you need to have the following information about the WebDAV server:

    • Internet address (URL)

    • User and password

  • A network connection has to be available

Procedure

1. Establish a connection between XML DAS and WebDAV server

  1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) on the AS Java that runs XML DAS , choose Start of the navigation pathConfiguration Next navigation step Connectivity Next navigation step Destinations Next navigation step CreateEnd of the navigation path.

  2. In the General Data step, enter the name of the destination and the HTTP type.

  3. In the Connection and Transport section, enter the URL of the WebDAV server in the following format:

    http://<Host>:<Port>/<Path>

  4. In the area Logon Data step, proceed as follows:

    1. Under Authentication , enter the value Basic /User Name and choose Password .

    2. Enter the user of the WebDAV server and the corresponding password.

  5. Save and test the destination (Ping).

2. Optional: Optimize parameter values for XML DAS access to the WebDAV server

  1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) on the AS Java that runs XML DAS , choose Start of the navigation pathConfiguration Next navigation step Infrastructure Next navigation step Java System PropertiesEnd of the navigation path .

  2. In the Templates section, choose Display Enhanced Properties .

  3. In the Details on section, select the Applications tab page.

  4. Filter the list with xml_das .

  5. Choose the tc~TechSrv~XML_DAS entry.

  6. In the Enhanced Details section, adjust the values of the following parameters as required:

    • WEBDAVCONNECTIONTEMPLATELIMIT

      Maximum number of connections to a WebDAV server open at one time

    • WEBDAVCONNECTTIMEOUT

      Maximum duration (in milliseconds) of the wait time for the open connection from XML DAS to the WebDAV server.

    • WEBDAVEXPIRATIONTIMEOUT

      Maximum duration (in milliseconds) of the open connection from XML DAS to the WebDAV server

    • WEBDAVREADTIMEOUT

      Maximum duration (in milliseconds) of the wait time for the answer from the WebDAV server
