DMS Repository

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am new to DMS and trying to understand it's functionality.  We have a content server attached to a DB.  What I'm trying to understand if whether I can have multiple repositories assigned to the content server, and then assign multiple storage categories to a specific repository.  Is this possible?  I'm thinking that the repository is like a silo, then the storage category is the folders within the silo, then the document type is the folders within the folder.

For example:

Server: Content server1

Repository: Engineering department

Storage Category: Restricted Substance

Document Type: RS

Storage Category: Drawings

Document Type: DR1

Document Type: XYZ

Server: Content server1

Repository: Quality department

Storage Category: Work Instructions

Document Type: BOM

Another question I am trying to figure out is what is Document Area?   Can I only have one document area per server?  Where does this get defined?

If anyone can shed any light on this I would be much obliged.

Regards,

Julie

Hi,

document type you can define lots in DC10 transaction, but repository system would be one only.

below is the imp transaction for configuration DMS

DC10	Define document types
DC20	Define data carrier
DC30	Define workstation application
DCSWI	Document Browser Switch
DCSWITCH	Browser and ACL switch

Storage type - 03 SAP system data base
