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 for ArchiveLink 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 for ArchiveLink 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 for ArchiveLink → 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.
