Restore compressed File out of ContentServer

[biagio_lobascio2]

Hi experts,

can you help me with this problem:

There is a Document with two originals. One of the originals has been deleted by mistake. Fortunately the Document can still be found in Filestructure of ContentServer but it is not readable because it has been compressed by checkin Process.

Can you tell me what to do to make the File readable?

Thanks a lot.

Regards, Biagio

Every file stored in contentserver has a physical ID. When you store this files in filesystem (not in database) you will find this ID in directory name. In this directory there are 2 files, the compressed original-file and 1 property-file. The property-file has the PHIO_ID as filename.

For getting uncompressed file to your PC you need to know this PHIO_ID.

Use TRANS SE37 for testing function-model SCMS_DOC_READ_FILES

Use the parameter:

stor_cat = DMS_C1_ST <-- normaly this value

doc_id = <-- PHIO_ID on contentserver

PHIO_ID = <-- PHIO_ID on contentserver

path = C:\temp <-- existing directory on your client PC

you will get a copy of the file in uncompressed form.

We have backuped the whole Structure of Filebased ContentServer. But if we try to use the Files that are restored from the contentserverbackup the fils can not be opened on Frontend PC because of Compression by SAP-System. Is there any decompressing Transaction in DMS-System?

Thanks a lot
