Content server for cFolders

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

We have SAP DMS in our compnay and are using SAP Content server to storing the documents.

Now,we are installing cFolders in the demilitarised zone(outside compnay network).My questions are:

1.Can we use the same SAP DMS content server for cFolders if there is sizing done propoerly?

2.Or we need to jhave separate content server for cFolder? If yes,should the content server reside inside or outside compnay network(demilitarized zone)

Hi,

here are the answers to your questions:

1.Can we use the same SAP DMS content server for cFolders if there is sizing done properly?

You should typically NOT use the same content server, since the content server is residing within your firewall, cFolders (and connected content servers) are typically residing together in the DMZ.

2.Or we need to jhave separate content server for cFolder? If yes,should the content server reside inside or outside compnay network(demilitarized zone)

See above. You have the options to have the content server(s) "visible" or "invisible" in the internet. Please have a look at the cFolders configuration guide for details.

Hi

We can you use the same DMS content server for storing cFolder documents. We have done this in one of our projects successfully. The idea is not to overload the R3 database and instead store the cFolder documents into DMS content server.
