Hello,

Try to refer an already existing discussion thread, similar to your query -

/thread/843263 [original link is broken]

Just to alert you w.r.t expertise, Content server can only be on MaxDB (instead of oracle as in your sap landscape), so you will have to install content server with maxdb.

Read the Installation guide for further research, most of the things will be clear from there.

Thanks

Hello Somesh,

TREX finds information in both structured and unstructured data. TREX provides SAP applications with services for searching and classifying large collections of documents and for searching and aggregating business objects.

SAP Content Server is a stand-alone server stores electronic documents of any format .

I suggest you to go through the below help links for more details.

Hi,

From the definitions:

Content server -> Stores items

TREX -> Searches storage units like the content server etc.

So, unless you do not want to search the data you stored, a TREX is not required.

But if you do intend to search your data stores, then you have to install a TREX too. <- Recommended.

hello Somesh,

If you understood the usage of SAP Content server and TREX, you would have come to the conclusion.

It is pretty clear. If you want to search the documents stored in content server, yes you should need TREX.

Hope your question is answered.

Thanks,

Siva Kumar
