SAP Content Server  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

The SAP Content Server is based on the database instance MaxDB and is available on Microsoft Windows operating systems as of Release 4.6.

Therefore, besides the SAP database, an independent content server is always available in every SAP system installation. This provides the required technical infrastructure for all document-oriented applications and business scenarios that do not require long-term archiving. Since the SAP Content Server is also integrated via the HTTP interface (see SAP HTTP Content Server 4.5 Interface), the actual storage medium used remains completely transparent to SAP applications. This means that the storage medium can be changed at any time.

 

Implementation Notes

The installation procedure for the SAP Content Server is described in the SAP Content Server Installation Guide, which is also available in both English and German as a PDF document on the SAP Server Components2 CD.

Restrictions

The SAP Content Server is not intended to replace optical storage systems and other storage media for long-term document archiving.
