Hi Ritesh

I read about KPro, in some source ( I don't remember it now).

Here i'm putting the summary that I had scribbled on my notepad, some time back.

SAP Knowledge Provider (KPro) is the central service, for administrating and storing any kind of documents. Application-independence is a central characteristic of KPro.

The KPro consists of three parts: DMS (Document Management Service), CMS (Content Management Service), IMS (Index Management Service).

DMS is the KPro service that is the closest to the application level. DMS will provide an API, that allows the application to efficiently administrate documents without having to concern itself with the specific details of the physical repository.

The CMS layer handles the technical details of the repository and administration functions. These details include creating document versions, document retrieval, and administrating the server containing the repositories.

I hope it's helpful to you.

Thanks for the reply...can you just tell me how DMS and Kpro are linked.

When do we check the check box for Kpro in DC10, what does this exactly mean?

Are we storing our documents through Kpro?

Thanks in advance.

Please read SAP help. Everything about what you have asked, is explained in SAP Help. And even in DC10, you can check F1 for each field.
