File server instead of content server

[Former Member]

Hi Sappies,

We dont have content server and planning to store DMS documents in some fileserver, size of documents is not so high. Is it possible to configure fileserver on place of content server for storing files through DMS, if yes, how to do that?

The following data carrier types are supported as secure storage areas for storing original application files:

SAP Database (settings available in standard SAP System)

Archive (selection in Customizing Document Management and data transport using the SAP ArchiveLink interface)

Vault (definition in Customizing Document Management)

For More details refer sap help

Use vault

Hi Punam,

Use "Define mount points / logical drive" under the Define data carrier type "external DMS".

Please award points if useful.

Thanks,

Dear VS,

I m getting a rough vision of my solution. I m using a File Server, to store all originals, but I m unaware about how to configure the file server for SAP DMS. Is this file server works as local network or people from other city can also access DMS documents?

Kindly help me out of this issue. I m stuck of this........

if you are going to use vault sytem for storage.

it's like accessing document in intra-network.

if you want to access document in valut you must be able to connect the vault server(file server) from your local machine.

Hence in your case if you are going to access the file server from other city. You must have added the route in file sever.

Contact you hardware people for adding route command.

Examples:

route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 157.55.80.1 METRIC 3 IF 2

........^{destination..............}mask...........^gateway....metric.....^Interface
