Hi,

Use of SAP content server is purely based on organizational need. Without content server you can save drawing and other document in DMS and they can be saved in default storage location given by SAP, DMS_C1_ST.

But in this case database server get loaded with huge drawing and CAD models and documents file.

Since there is lot of transactional data is hapenning on SAP content server in day to day activities it is prefered to have seperate content server for DMS.

On doing proper configuration huge original application file such as drawings and models can be save to content server.

To do this you need to install and configure content server seperately.You can install in both on windows and Linux platform. Both has his advantages and disadvantages.

Regarding sizing please refer to page 8 and 9 on below link.

Hi Anandh

Answer to your Questions

1.Do we need to install any other component like SAP content server for DMS? Is this mandatory?

Content Server is used to store documents Such as MS Word, MS Excel, MSPowerpoint.

These Document consume very large amount of space more than 500GB's.This data is not advisable to store on Production server(SAP Database).So SAP recommeds Content Server. But Not Mandatory.Ther are also other methods to store Document as suggested by SAP.Please check this Link.
