SAP Content Server

The SAP Content Server is a stand-alone component for storing large quantities of electronic documents in any format and with any content. This component can cache the content from several locations the business operates in which reduces network load. To use the SAP Content Server, your SAP applications must support its use.

The SAP Content Server uses the SAP MaxDB database and one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows Server
  • SUSE Linux®
  • Red Hat Linux

For more information about these supported operating systems releases, see the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM).

For more information about the SAP Content Server, see SAP Help and documentation on the SAP NetWeaver Knowledge Server components.

Usage considerations

The SAP Content Server is not an alternative for optical storage and other storage media for long-term document archiving.

Follow the SAP Content Server Installation Guide, found on the SAP Help Portal under "Installation of SAP Content Server". The guide is available for Windows or Linux.
