Hi,

Goto to the Tcode : CSADMIN

It will ask for the Content Repository name.

Give the Content Repository name and it will ask for admin userid and password.

If you have Admin user ID and password give that else cancel.

It will show you "Content Server Administration" screen.

In that Overview Tab, You can find the Content server path in the column "ContentStorageHost".

In that path only the files are getting strored in content server.

Hi,

Content servers are used to save large quantities of documents, either within SAP Media on the SAP database, or in an external system via an SAP-certified interface. The Document Modeling Workbench in SAP Media is structured so that one document class (for example, a physical storage place) is available for each business object. A content server therefore contains one memory space for every business object. In SAP Media Systems, documents are stored in the SAP Media database or on an external content server.

Using Content Server with database storage gives you a very stable, secure and fast environment. You can store documents in R/3 as well, but that is really only a good solution for few documents.

Additional information is available in the SAP Library under SAP R/3 and R/3 Enterprise ® SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 ® SAP SAP NetWeaver Components ® SAP Web Application Server ® Basis Services/Communication Interface (BC-SRV) ® ArchiveLink (BC-SRV-ARL) and Knowledge Provider (BC-SRV-KPR).

KPro is mainly used to store and retrive content from Content Server.
