Location-Dependent Reassignment of Storage Categories

Prerequisites

You have installed and configured an SAP Content Server in at least two different locations.
For every additional content server/area, you have created the required repositories in the SAP system and on the content server (transactions OAC0 and CSADMIN). For more information, see Configuration for Content Storage.

Context

You have to reassign the storage categories of the individual SAP Content Servers according to their location. First you define new storage categories and assign them to the content repositories of SAP Content Servers in specific locations. You then specify a location-dependent replacement of the standard storage categories with the new storage categories as follows.

Procedure

In transaction SI24, to create the required storage categories for additional SAP Content Servers, choose the activity Settings in the Knowledge Warehouse System Content Management Service Define and Assign Content Categories (or call transaction OACT).

Example

IWB2_WDF / IWB2SRC_WDF for content from the area training that is to be stored on a content server with the location Walldorf.
In the same transaction, assign the newly-created storage categories to the relevant repositories.
In transaction SI24 choose the activity Settings in the Knowledge Warehouse System Distribution Distributed Storage Override Content Categories in Accordance with Location (or call transaction OADI).
Choose New Entries.
For the Location field, use the input help to select a value.
In the Logical Category field, use the input help to enter the standard storage category that you want to divert to a local SAP Content Server (such as IWB2/IWB2SRC for the training area).
In the Derived Category field, use the input help to enter a storage category that you have defined and that is assigned to a content repository on a local SAP Content Server (such as IWB2_WDF/IWB2SRC_WDF).
Save your entries.
