Define Data Carrier

[former_member1058298]

Hi Gurus

We have installed content server in our project to store the original files. I want to know whether i should define the data carriers and what is the purpose of it. Can't we use the system without defining the data carriers? I know it may be simple question but i went through some forums with no luck.

Actually i want to know why we need to define the data carries and what are the steps of configuration to be done if we use the content server and even for SAP DB also.

Thanks

In SAP DMS,on occasions when you display an original file, the system always creates a local copy of this original file on your PC.

The data carrier,if defined(Eg:C:\Temp\), indicates where this particular original file is stored whenever it is displayed.Do note that this holds true for only a copy of the original file while the "actual" original file is still stored in the secure storage area i.e, kPro content server in your case.

Hope this brings in the required clarity for you to proceed.
