HI Jochen,

Thanks for your inputs. As I am involved in our project as Basis(adminisration)consultant. I am worried about SAPDB how exaclty the data will store here, As our functional req is to store data(employee details) thrrough ECC 5.0 to the content server.

We installed Content server from CSADMIN t-code(Through ECC) created repository and the satus is showing green

But now how exaclty they can move data and how its going store in Content Server (SAP DB)

Please advice me and send me the links if you have which can help me for better understanding.

Thanks

Hi,

using the DMS it works about this way. You create a document using CV01N. This document has a document type (->customizing!), which is KPRO (Knowledge Provider) relevant. This means the original file(s) are stored in a content repository you created. When you check the files in, the system reads the content categories maintained with document area 'DMS' and displays them all. The content category points to the content repository which points to your server:port and DB instance. The system creates a unique key and transfers the file via SAPHTTP / SAPFTP from the local drive (network too) to the content server DB. What exactly happens on the DB, I don't know.

If you look at BAPI_DOCUMENT*, you will get a more technical view of it, you can get a pretty good idea what is going on in the background as long as it is ABAP.

I hope this is a little helpful.
