DMS Storage - SAP DB Upper Limit

[Former Member]

Hi,

My customer is interested in knowing the safe upper limit upto which size documents can be safely uploaded in SAP DB.Eg: upto 200 GB etc(assuming std R/3 implementation) or is it that we keeping expanding the hard disk size

HI,

Each document can be max 2GB. If you are using a content server with MaxDB, it scales up to 64TB per database, and you can add more databases if need be.

So you should be able to use a standard content server, just add more space and expand tablespace as you grow.

Thanks Espen.

"Each document can be max 2GB".. What i want to know is what space in GB can be used for DMS storage in std R/3 installation?

Hi James,

The size of database is different for different projects. so first know the exact total size of database in your project and safe way is you can use max.1/4 the size for dms or install separate server. Also if you are using sap database for storing dms documents then you can attach max.2 attachment two one DIR. If you use separate server you can attach up to 99files to one DIIR.

I hope this will resolve the query.
