File upload and download.

Hello,

We have a requirement where user can download a file from portal.

We made that application in web dynpro java and user is now able to access the same.

However, to accomplish this purpose we kept the files in Scr -> Mimes -> Components -> <Component name> folder.

Now, client has come up with an additional requirement where he with to have a interface, from where he can upload new versions of these files.

Now this we will have to make as an separate DC. Because users will be different.

So, the question is will our initial approach to keep files in Scr -> Mimes -> Components -> <Component name> folder be successful. Will we be able to change those files using another application ?

If not, then what could be the best approach for us.

Hi Saurabh,

KM is simple to use. Its repository to hold files.

You can define new or use the existing one.

KM has APIu2019s and Web Services interfaces for accessing the documents stored in the repository. Itu2019s simple and straight forward with very minimal config. You will understand it easily.

Here are some of the wikis which will help you.

Hi Saurabh,

Better to use the KM or any other repository to store the files instead of storing it in SRC folder of WD. You will have good control and update the files without modifying the WDJ code every time.

Thanks Yugandhar,

I have never worked on KM before.

But definitly I will google the topic and see what could be the possibilities....

But in the meanwhile if you can further assist me on below points that comes to my mind when I think about KM..

1. If we have not yet used it in our project then....do we need to purchase a license for the same....

2. Do we need to configure it as we have configured ESS/MSS in our project

3. Do I have to give any role of KM to user in addition to the application.

4. I would really appreciate If you can provide me with an article or blog on SDN that shows how to store files in KM and how to make them available for end user...and ofcoarse how can I/Client keep on updating the same.

I will look for above queries from my end also.....but since I dont know anything about KM....thus any light from you on above points would help me a lot.

Thank You
