ContentServer.ini file is an configuration file for the content server. It explains the setup process of those repositories which can be approached from content server.
Setting up ContentServer.ini file:
The section of every repository that begins as follows exists:
[contrep-<repository_name>]
ContentStorageHost=<host_name>
ContentstorageName=<database_name> (generally, SDB)
;driver=<ODBC_driver>
;sqltrace=0 | 1
;user=<database_user_name>
:
This section holds each and every parameters which is used to describe the access to the database repository. A repository that may be defined in the database is not possible to access without the relevant section.
A semicolon '; ' can be used at the starting of the line in order to invalidate those parameters which we want to ignore.
For SAP MaxDB 7.8 maintain the driver name as following driver = SAP MaxDB <installation_name>
