Creating a Directory or Collection (Step 1) 

A prerequisite for archiving (storing the resources) is either one or more WebDAV servers or one or more directories in an appropriately secure and large file system belonging to the AS Java hosting the XML DAS.

For a quick minimum setup, continue with the steps described for file system:

●      If a file system is used the directories chosen must be accessible (read/write/create dir) for the operating system user <sid>adm in case of a UNIX system, and SAPService<sid> in case of a Windows system.

Choose an empty or create a new directory or directories and make sure they are globally mounted to all servers belonging to the AS Java running the XML DAS.

You want to store your archived data on host myfileserver.  Choose a name for your directory and create it on the host; for example archive_dir. Now you must make this new directory accessible to your AS Java.

●        For a Windows server you might have: \\myfileserver\archive_dir

●        For a Unix server you might have: /mountedfilesystem/archive_dir

 

To prevent unauthorized access or harmful alteration or deletion of resources or directories in the file system, give the appropriate access privileges only to SAPService<sid> or <sid>adm, respectively.

Do not manually create or delete directories or files once the archive store root directory is fixed.

●      If you want to use a WebDAV system, follow the set up procedure described under the following documentation:
