1 Abstract:
Purpose:

Knowledge Provider is a component of SAP Web Application Server and provides


the general infrastructure for storing and administrating documents. SAP Content Server is
based on the MAX DB and is available on Windows Server (OS Versions are mentioned in
PAM).

Both the MAX DB database, which serves as a Content Server, and the Content
Server itself are provided with every SAP system installation. This provides the required
technical infrastructure for all document-oriented applications and business scenarios that do
not require long-term archiving. Because SAP Content Server is integrated via the HTTP
interface, the actual storage medium used is transparent to the SAP applications.

Need:

A content server is an external storage system. It can be accessed via the HTTP Content
Server Interface. We can able to move the real data from SAP table to content server
repository. The real data type can be anyone on the following format
doc,xls,ppt,tiff,gif,jpg,cad etc.
Solution:

By using this functionality, we will get free space in SAP database level.

Benefits:

1. The database is much better suited than a file system to the administration of
large amounts of data. Internally at SAP, the SAP Content Server has been used
for several release cycles to administrate all documentation

Database administration tools, which are easy to use, are delivered with it. These can be
used to make automatic backups.

2 Technical Prerequisites
Hardware:

To install the software components, including MAX DB, you need at least 300 MB of hard
disk space. You also need as much hard disk capacity as you specified for the data files and
the log files for each partition.

Main Memory : At least 512 MB

Processor : Possible: 1 CPU Recommended: 2 CPUs

Network Protocol : TCP/IP

Software:

OS : Microsoft Windows 2008 Server or Microsoft Windows 2012 Server (with IIS)

Further Information:

The SAP System that you want to link to the SAP Content Server must be at least release
4.6C. The hardware platform and operating system used in the SAP System do not limit the
SAP Content Server in any way. The HTTP interface ensures that the SAP System is
platform-independent.

Note:

In the IIS 7.0/7.5, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default,

Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0/7.5 is installed.
Kindly refer the installation guide to set up the required roles for IIS.

We have to install the roles as per the guide before go live of this content server

project.
