Hello all,

I installed Content Server 6.4, but I have problem configure it.

I have:

IIS, j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64, jce_policy-1_4_2

I am confused about Post Installtion of Content Server from the documentation: I cant open link:

http://<hostname>:<portno.>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo

Is there something else to install?

thx

Chris

Hello

Quick question:

Have you installed the Content Server by following this installation guide ?

https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700003351242006E/Cont_Serv_Win_640.pdf

SAP Content Server can only be installed with MaxDB database.

If you have followed the installation guide to install then the Content Server will work fine.

Hi Chris,

Your not posting what exact problem you are facing . I hope that basis person with you.

While installing SAP content server that automatically takes MaxDB . No need of installing maxDB .

Off course your are using MSSQL DB for your SAP ECC system.

Copy and pate in contentserver.ini file as below . After that Please reboot the server and test the repository connections and Cs admin settings.

[contRep-A1]

KeepConnection=0

Security=0

AdminSecurity=1

ContRepRoot=D:\SAP\ContRep

ContentStorageHost=localhost

ContentStorageName=SDB

Storage=ContentStorage.dll

ContRepDescription=SAP Content Server 2008 Server

driver=LiveCache .

Please provide rewards for useful information.

HI Chris,

Plz check with commands.

C:\sapdb\programs\pgm    Icacls sql*.dll /grant NETWORKSERVICE:F

C:\Program Files\SAP\Content Server   Icacls * /grant  NETWORKSERVICE:F

Let me know the result missing compared with guide.

Above problem shows that ODBC drivers are not registered.If you want check at OS level (start->dataresourses(ODBC)-->drivers tab )

Use below command as it is to get ODBC drivers.

C:\sapdb\CDB\db\pgm>ODBCreg LiveCache -i -p C:\sapdb\CDB\db\pgm  .

Hi Chris,

C:\sapdb\programs\pgm>Icacls sql*.dll /grant NETWORKSERVICE:F  


Above command is not showing   SQLOD32.dll  file.  For this  u need to search from C 😕 drive  for Now am not able to retrive exact location .. If u find copy that file and paste in the aboue path.


In the documents showing path as below  ...ODBC file will be located in below path as my guess.


c:\sapdb\programs/pgm > ODBCreg LiveCache -i -p c:\sapdb\programs/pgm


If still error comes ..copy ODBC file and paste in    C:\sapdb\SDB\db\pgm     and run as usevual.


Let me know  what is CDB  ??    SDB is the SID  of content server .

Hi Chris,

I'm sharing some screens please follow with these and assure settings as like

Right click on ContentServer to go to properties as like below

Share or correct Local Path,application name,execute permissions & pool as like & save and restart the site again.Here one more thing which i would like to share i.e there is no need to manual creation of sites under IIS as these two will be added automatically under IIS while installation of Content Server.Also please check permissions on every files under IIS content server site.

Please revert .Hope this will help you.

What is the error message you getting ?

Secondly check in IIS-> Web applications -> SAP Content Server entry exists or not.

Also what is the IIS version installed ? In case it is IIS 7 or higher you need to select all the checkboxes while installing IIS. If not done please redo the IIS setup and check the results.

well, I tried with port 1090 and 1095 and nothing worked.

In C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services there is not port 1090 or 1095

netstat command does not show that port 1095 or 1090 to be used

pls have another idea for me

Hello,

thx for your support. Here are the IIS Manager configuration: I created 2 sites: ContentServer and CacheServer.

Hi Chris,

The sites which you created should have been created during the content server installation.

There is no need to create it manually.

As you re-installed IIS, I shall request you to perform content server installation again.

Ensure once your installation is completed, you see 2 sites

SAPContentServer & SAPCacheServer in IIS.

Deepak Kori

Thx for that idea, Deepak. Now I have in IIS, the 2 sites created by the installet.

Now, I want to create content repository (OAC0) but it askes for a user. Any idea what user? I already tried with adminisrator, sidadm but with no result

thx

Hi Chris,

I assume the content server is running now and the url test for http://hostname:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo shows some information on Content server.

Could you share the screen where user info is being asked ?

Ideally in OAC0 no user information is being asked.

Additionally refer link for the steps for creating entry in OAC0

Content Repositories (SAP Library - Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR))

Hope this helps.

/OAC0, I created a content repository,

click on CS Admin,

change the localhost with the name of the host and SDB with the SID name.

click save. then and error: HTTP error: 405 Method Not Allowed. HTTP error: 500 (Internal Server Error)  "ContRep  ZTEST_000 or Storage entry not defined".

Previously, no error was there, it was a pop-up with user and pwd

Hi Chris,

Please mention Document Area = DMS

Also in OAC3 maintain relevant configuration and save.

Later in OAC0 firstly check connection to content repository is working or not.

Secondly check whether MaxDB Database is running or not. The error which you are getting is due to MaxDB database with SID "SDB" not being running.

You may install Database Studio and connect to SDB database.

Hope this helps.

I dont have MaxDB, I have MSSQL. When I installed Content Server, I could not change the entry from SDB to SID, and I let it as it was

Hi Chris,

Please uncheck signature in the CSADMIN under setiings tab.

Did you perform any post installation activities on content server. You have to register / grant permission  for contentserver.dll files.

Once u did changes please restart content server and let me know.

Hi Chris,

SAP DMS content server can be installed only with MAxDB database. You cannot use MSSQL for this. So you incase you want to use Database to store documents, you need to provide Database DVDs and get DB instance installed.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

As Deepak kori said above right.. . while installation installation master will take MAXDB packages.No need to installed separetly on content server .Just follow the steps by choosing NEXT button .For Conveyance you create own installation directories as 😧 , E:  .

While posting mention your hardware setup based that we can suggest sollutions .
