   Another icon appears: Create (F5). Click on it to create a new SAP Content Repository.

   

2. Enter mandatory values for the new repository.

   See the following table to choose the correct settings.

   • Values in bold must match the values given in the table exactly.

1. Click either on icon Test connection or on icon Status information.

   In both cases, a message appears saying the content repository does not exist.

   Note

   Any other message than Content repository XX does not exist indicates an issue with the network connection between the SAP server and the Alfresco server. In such a case, double-check the login credentials for Alfresco (alfresco-global.properties) and make sure Alfresco is available.

   

2. Save the current repository configuration (click Save on the bottom line) before proceeding with the next steps.

3. To create the repository on the content server click on icon CS Admin (Content Server Administration) in the middle of the screen, besides the Test connection icon.

   

4. In the administration area, the repository has to be created by the Create repository icon on the left. It is available in section Create.

   

5. If the repository has been created successfully, you'll be redirected to the Details section. At the bottom of this screen, you'll see already some basic repository information coming "live" from Content Services.

   

6. Click the Save (CTRL + S) button in the bottom bar to save the changes again.

   After saving, the screen can be closed by clicking on Exit button in the top right toolbar.
