Setup a Content Repository

In this section you will define a connection between your SAP server and the desired storage container (Amazon S3 Bucket or Azure Storage Blob).

During the process you can define a Content Repository ID or you can leverage CxLink Documents to do so. If you do not define the Content Repository ID a new one will be created.

The Content Repository ID is a 2 letter identificator. If CxLink Documents creates the ID it will start with the letter R[A-Z] and will continue to increase the second letter in alphabeticall order per each new repository that you will create.

To define a new Content Repository:

  • Start transaction /n/LNKWAS/IMG/STGR or go to SPRO-> Cxlink Suite by Syntax -> Cxlink Documents & Archive -> Define Content Repositories.

  • Press New.

  • In General Data section add:

    • Provider: Select between the listed providers.
    • Content Repository: Set a custom ID or leave blank to autogenerate one.

  • In Specify Credentials Data:

    Select between:

    • AWS Instance Profile if you want to use the IAM Role for EC2 in Amazon Web Services.

  • Specify Storage Data:

    • Region: Container regions.

    • Bucket Name: Select the bucket to store the documents/sessions.

    • Path: Define a custom path for be added as the path on the storage location. You can use the following environment variables (%YEAR, %MONTH%, %DAY%, %HOURS%, %MIN%, %SEC%) as dynamic values

      example
