Background documentationConfiguring Storing Content Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Each info object in SAP KW is assigned to a range of predefined storage categories. The info object class determines the category to which an info object is assigned.

You control the physical storage of info objects by mapping the storage categories of the content repositories on an SAP Content Server on the SAP NW ABAP system. The contents of a document area are usually stored in a separate repository on the SAP Content Server. Structure objects are an exception to this. The structure objects for each area are stored in a structure repository in the SAP NW ABAP system.

Caution Caution

Note that the auto configuration cannot be successfully completed if no new system PSE/certificate was created and included in the certificate list before the start. Use transaction STRUST for this purpose.

End of the caution.

Prerequisites

  • Successful installation of the SAP Content Server (including the MaxDB/SAP DB database).

  • It must be possible to access the database content of the content server.

Process

Proceed as follows to configure the storage of content:

  1. To store content, you need to create content repositories on the SAP NW ABAP system and on the content server. Storage categories and repositories are then assigned to each other. These activities are normally performed during the auto-configuration of the content server. More information: Automatically Creating Content Repositories.

  2. The only step that you always have to perform manually is the activation of the content server service.

  3. You can check whether the automatic creation in step 1 was successful by checking the status of the content server and checking the content repositories.

  4. If the automatic creation and assignment fails, you need to perform these steps manually. More information: Activities in the ABAP System if Auto-Configuration Fails.
