Integrating the SAP Content Server
Integrating the SAP Content Server
Content Server Administration
The Content Server can be administrated directly from the SAP system. Special tools have been developed for monitoring and administrating the SAP DB underlying the SAP Content Server.
For more information, see the SAP Library under Knowledge Provider in the section
SAP Content Server Administration.
Monitoring
The Knowledge Provider’s Content Management Service (CMS) is used to monitor the Content Server. The CMS is a service of the IT infrastructure provided by Knowledge Provider within the framework of SAP Web Application Server. The central feature of the CMS is that it is designed to be compatible with different types of storage media. In other words, the CMS functions as an interface between content servers and the SAP system.

Content Servers and Cache Servers
Any number of content servers can be installed in different locations. The contents are transferred directly between the client and content server. If the content servers are accessed from different locations that are linked only via a wide area network (WAN), cache servers should be used. Network traffic across the WAN can be reduced to a minimum and performance enhanced by installing at least one cache server at each location.
A client cache is also available on the user's front-end computer.
