Hi Thomas,

SAP DMS is a cross application component and is very much part of your ECC6.0 landscape.It only needs to be turned on/configured by a DMS consultant in accordance with the customer's requirements.

As you are aware,as DMS captures,stores and retrieves docs alongwith host of other features, it is imperative that an ideal storage location is identified for storing the files,docs.Typically, when the volume of docs generated is large,content server is used as a storage option.Content server can be hosted both on Windows as well as UNIX operating systems. Latest installation guides can be downloaded from SAP market place.

No additional license fee is levied for SAP easy DMS(download from SAP Marketplace).Further,before you install SAP Easy Document Management, check whether your PC fulfills the below requirements.

Hardware requirements:

Free disk space: 20 MB in the standard program folder, for example C:\Program Files

RAM: 128MB(min)

Screen resolution: at least 1024x768 pixels

Software requirements:

Microsoft Windows 2000 with SP 3 or

Microsoft Windows XP with SP1 and

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher

Microsoft Office is supported as of version 2000, but this is not a prerequisite for installation.

Install SAP Easy Document Management on every PC on which you want to use it.Start file setup.exe from the installation CD and follow the instructions in the dialog boxes.Once open, SAP Easy Document Management automatically guides the user through the logon process. When you open SAP Easy Document Management in MS Explorer, a connection is set up to the SAP system across the SAP Easy Document Management interface.

1. we don;t have to install saperate Content server. am i right ?

Yes,you need not procure a separate Conent Server.Its can be freely downloaded from SAP Marketplace by SAP customers.

2 if yes than what will be the procedure to configure content server in ecc6 server with out saperate installation of content server ?

Content server configuration guide is also available in SAP Marketplace. You will need to have the hardware,software of requisite configuration(already discussed several times in previous threads,please search) to host the Content Server.

3. Currently we have blank ECC 6 server . what is the prerequsition and postconfiguration steps to configure ECM in this server ?

For configuration of ECM,navigate to SPRO>IMG>Cross Application Components>Engineering Change Mgmt.An ECM consultant will help you configure this solution.

4. finaly I don't have to install any thing in ECC server , just have to implement/enable ECM configuration . right ?

Yes,ECM only needs to be configured.

1 .Finaly I have to configure saperate content server on saperate box .

2. integrate it with ECC 6 server .

In our present scenario , we have blank ECC 6 server . .

Yes(Search forum for detailed info on these topics)

ECM is typically used for changes to Master Data.This includes objects like BOMs,Routings,Material Master,Documents,Characteristics,Class,Variant tables etc. Depending on the object to which you wish to effect changes, implicitly,you would need the associated modules as well.
