Nobody has such a document since each cluster and environment is different.

While setting up a HA environment it is very important to understand what is being done instead of just following a "click-here-and-now-there"-guide.

If you really want such a guide hire a basis consultant who will do the setup and create the document with you together, so in case of a problem you know what needs to be done.

Dear Bhavik G. Shroff,

We have installed the Max DB with the option as below,

My sap business Suite -->SAP NetWeaver 2004s Support Release 2 -->Standalone Engines --> Content Server --> MaxDB Database Instances (Installs MaxDB database instances for a Content Server and / or Cache Server)

With the above option we didn't get the option of installing web service for Content server

but we finished the installation and clustered the database with the assistance of Note 576063 with out any error.

but there is one more option available in the installation master

My sap business Suite -->SAP NetWeaver 2004s Support Release 2 -->Standalone Engines --> Content Server --> Content Server and / or Cache Server (Installs Content Server and / or Cache Server together with optional MaxDB database instances.)

in which it is creating the web service but here the database is optional, but it is installing the repositories. also it only taking the RDBMS software only 6.40 not the 7.6.

Kindly suggest me at the earliest.

Regards

Kali Prasad

Hi,

SAP Content Server is an stand alone component which is used to different types of documents in large quantities. These documents are stored in integrated MAXDB Database Instance or at File system level. SAP Content Server provides technical infrastructure to access different kind of documents.

DMS like application gets transparent access of various documents by using HTTP interface of Content server, where all documents are stored in MAXDB DB Instance associated with Content Server.

Cache servers can also be used for distributed data retention to enable quick access to document contents if, for example, you want to display a document in a Web browser.

in which it is creating the web service but here the database is optional, 
but it is installing the repositories. also it only taking the RDBMS software only 6.40 not the 7.6.

6.40 is release level of SAP Content Server component, where as 7.6 is release level of MAXDB Database RDBMS.

For DMS setup, you will have to Install Content Serve/Cache Server with MaxDB Database Instance, with following optional ways.

a. You can create Content Server with its associated MAXDB Database Instance in one shot, by selecting "Install Content Server" and "Install Database Instance".'

b. First, You can Install Content/cache server only and then You can Install/create MAXDB Database Instance(s) for already installed Content/Cache server instance(s).

The Content Server & Cache Servers will be created with Web URLs with corresponding HTTP Ports ,if you select "Install Website" during Installation Process.

Rest of the Installation & Configuration Procedure with its meaningful information are well narrated in this [Installation Guide|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000659894&_OBJECT=011000358700003351242006E] and other relative SAP Notes which i already have mentioned in my previous message.
