Introduction to Document Management System

The SAP Content Server (SAP CS) is a separate server instance that is used to store content such as scanned invoices, print lists, outgoing documents or archive files. These documents and data are stored on a dedicated server and made accessible to related SAP applications. The SAP Content Server takes off load from the application database by storing content on an external server in a database (MaxDB) or on its file system. SAP CS does not support optical storage (e.g. DVD jukebox) and there is also no scan client bundled together with SAP CS. On the other hand, there are no additional license costs for SAP Content Server.

Installation of Apache Server [Version 2.0.63]

a. Pre-Requisites

i.Create group and user

Content Server Group : sapsys

Content Server User : sapcs

Home Directory : /home/sapcs

Make user sapcs member of group sapsys.

iii.Create following file systems.

File System Name Size in GB Remark

/usr/sap/apache 5 GB For installation of APACHE server

/sapcd 10 GB For copying installation dump and installable of APACHE

Server

iv.Check that JRE is installed by entering

Java version

b. Extraction of source files

i.Copy httpd-2.0.63.gz file to /sapcd.

ii.Extract the file using following command.

# gzip -d httpd-2.0.63.tar.gz

This will create tar file httpd-2.0.63.tar

Extract the tar file using following command,

#tar xvf httpd-2.0.63.tar This will create directory httpd-2.0.63 in /sapcd.

c. Configure

This step configures APACHE source to AIX Platform.

iii.Go to directory /sapcd/httpd-2.0.63

iv.Set following environment variables and values. Use command:

o Export CC=gcc maix64

o Export OBJECT_MODE=64

Now run the following command:

./configure prefix=/usr/sap/apache --enable-mods-shared=most with-mpm=prefork

Where,

Prefix = Installation directory of APACHE server

--enable-mods-shared Defines a list of modules to be enabled and build as dynamic shared

modules. This mean, these module have to be loaded dynamically by using the LoadModule

directive.

--enable-mods-shared=most

will compile most modules and build them as DSO [Dynamic Shared Object] modules.

--with-mpm used to choose the process model for your server. Value Prefork Implements a non-
