Public folder in WAS

[david_fryda2]

Hi everyone,

Where in the J2EE engine server should I put files in order to reach them via HTTP protocol (like in IIS server in the wwwroot folder) ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi David,

there is, in fact, a solution just like in IIS. Are you familiar with Visual Administrator? If so, open it and look at the configuration of the HTTP Provider. There you can set a root directory for documents as well as aliases that point to other directories on your file system.

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ee/0618d0899001408d821096c85ff8a2/frameset.htm">This documentation on help.sap.com</a> should help.

If you are looking for a simple solution, DMS is overkill.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I will try the Visual Admin solution instead of the DMS one.

To my understanding WAS doesn't support expanded war files.

please read the instllation and configuration of DMS system . dms has two separate servers one is content server and the other is DMS Cache server . read the following document at www.service.sap.com--->installation and upgrades ->installation and upgrade guides>netweaver2004s -->standalone engines

You need to have your ICM up and running and also HTTP/HTTPS port has to be configured . to link up it with sap use CSADMIN T-code

Hi Siva,

I will try the DMS solution.

I created a document with files in it.

How can I retrieve the HTTP URL of each file in that document ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I guess you need create a virtual host (using a Visual Administrator), and then you can put resources in its root directory. More info <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/8420e095c7e441b835e126e6b64aa7/frameset.htm">here</a>.

Hope that helps!

i think the one you are looking for is a DMS(Document management system) where you can store all your scanned documents ,material etc . it runs on MAXDB .the file physically stores in DMS but the header sits in SAP Database ,and they communicate through HTTP Protocol

Hi Siva,

Isn't there a simple solution like in IIS web server ?

Can I create a virtual directory, drag and drop files to it ?

Thanks

Hi David,

It looks to me that what you want is provided from Content Server with http interface, which is a stand-alone engine instead of part of J2EE server.

Not a J2EE engine expert...
