Procedure documentationCreating a WebDAV Destination and Defining Archive Stores (Steps 3a and 3b) Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Before you can begin with ILM from SAP you must first create a destination in the AS Java on which the XML DAS is running. The destination points to the ILM-enhanced WebDAV server you want to use. You must do so before you can begin using the XML DAS Administration to define one or several archive stores within your archive hierarchy. For more information see also Archive Store Management.

Procedure

Creating a WebDAV Destination (Step 3a)

  1. Open the Visual Administrator of the AS Java on which the XML DAS is running.

  2. Under Cluster, select  <your server>   Services   Destinations  .

  3. Choose New to create a new destination.

  4. Enter the URL to the WebDAV Server, including the root collection you have created or reserved previously

    http://<WebDAV host>:<port>/<root collection>

  5. Choose BASIC as authentication method.

  6. Set User Name and Password to the communication user your WebDAV server supports.

  7. Choose Save to activate your settings.

Defining archive stores (Step 3b)

  1. Open the XML DAS Administration as a browser application by using the following address:

    http://<Host of AS Java>:<HTTP Port>/DataArchivingService/DAS.

    Example Example

    URL for accessing the XML DAS residing on SAP system Q2W would be: http://q2wmain.wdf.sap.corp:58400/DataArchivingService/DAS

    End of the example.

    Note Note

    For the login enter one of the administration users you created in Creating Users (Step2).

    End of the note.

  2. Choose Archive Store Management.

  3. Choose Define.

  4. Enter the properties of the new archive store:

    • Archive Store: Enter an arbitrary name for the store you choose (e.g. Q2W_STORE).

    • Description: Enter a description of the archive store (for example Q2W archive file server) (entry is not required).

    • Default: This feature is currently not active and is intended for future use only.

    • Store Type: Choose WebDAV System

    • Destinations: Choose the appropriate WebDAV destination from the dropdown list. You can create destinations in the Visual Administrator. For more information follow the instructions under Creating a WebDAV Destination (Step 3a) above.

    • Proxy Host and Proxy Port: If the archive store is WebDAV-enabled and can be reached via a proxy, enter the information about the proxy in the fields Proxy Host and Proxy Port.

    • Choose Ok.

      Note Note

      Time-Out and Other Tuning Parameters: To maintain time-out parameters for HTTP communication with WebDAV see Additional Configuration and Tuning Parameters in the SAP Help Portal under Administration of the XML Data Archiving Service.

      End of the note.

Result

You have created a WebDAV destination in the AS Java running the XML DAS, pointing to your ILM-enhanced WebDAV. You have then created one or more archive stores in your archive hierarchy.
