Content Repository for SAP Digital Personnel Files

Hi,
I am trying to configure and use SAP DPF to store employee's certifications and document. I had created record model and manage to create Personnel Records with tcode SRMRECORDSCREATE.
I am now trying to find out where the document loaded is stored in the SAP standard configuration. I searched from online help and documentation, it mentioned that it is based on the content repository that it is set. However, i couldn't find the standard Content Repository that SAP DPF is using.
I need to store the document in the external content server.
Thanks
Yin Mun

Hi Andy,
I could not find content repository standard 'ASR_DPF' in tcode OAC0.
Is anything missing?
Regards.

Using Digital Personnel File for HCM Forms & Processes

Hi,
We would like to use Digital Personnel File for HCM Forms & Processes to save forms and attachments using record case management. For this to be done record case management needs to be customized. Can you provide the steps for record case management customization and integrating digital personnel files with HCM forms.

Roadmap of Records Management (RM) & Digital Personnel File (DPF)

DPF (Digital Personnel File) is SAP standard solution to archiving of process forms and attachments at the end of HCM processes (created by HCM Processes and Forms Framework).
I read that until 2012 Record Management (upon which DPF is built) was SAP Certified solution to Content Management System (ECM). On 2012 SAP changed Records Management name to Folders Management and branded this tool with its new name, implying that RM is no longer SAP Certified Solution to content management.
So my question is: What is SAP current Roadmap of RM in general and DPF spcifically? and what is SAP current Certified solution to this issue?

Thanks alot for your reply.
May be not the exact comparison, but atleast I could make out what are the added advantages using opentext.
DPF from HCM P&F also provides a folder structure irrespective of infotypes , but not all the listed features from opentext could be met.
Basically DPF is a wrapper on top of RM and it is also connected to Archive . So definitely opentext is way further to go.

Digital personnel file configuration

Dear experts,
First of all... Wishing a very happy new year.
I am new to HCM and Digital personnel files. Now actually I need to configure digital personnel file for HR personnel records, I had small experience in SAP Records management. I did some basic configurations for DPF, Now I want to check personnel records(DPF), but I dont understand how to check or where to check it. Actually I checked it in PA30, but could not find how to navigate to DPF. Also I would appreciate if somebody shares a step by step configuration guide for DPF config. I got idea of creation of records models etc... I am looking for your quick replies. Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
CSY.

hi
you can refer to the link below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_afs64/helpdata/ja/43/866b57ec875965e10000000a422035/content.htm
Also for the DPF to work , as per the documentation you need to set up a single record model , you can check out the tcode organizer , but pre-requsite to that is the records management must be present in your system , you can take help of any basis person to check the same.

Digital Personnel File archive

Hi,
Can you advise if it's possible to archive Digital Personnel File contents which is stored in Records Management? We've got a requirement to archive Digital Personnel File contents (HCM Processes and Forms (Adobe) and other stored office documents) with metadata. Is it at all possible to define metadata in Records Management?
Best regards,
Jukka

Hi Jukka,
HCM Processes and Forms already use RM for persisting the data. I believe there are cases & documents created for these processes & forms in RM.
Please have a look at the archiving solution for cases & records for the same. They are available from the sdn link of RM. I have also posted news item on http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ecm stating the upload of the archiving cookbooks.
The catch as I see for you is that you will need to know how the processes & forms are stored in RM by HCM & then use the correct archiving solution for those objects.
Thanks & Regards,
Pragya

Digital personnel file

I am implementing SAP record management currently for setting up a digital personnel file using the standard service providers ASR...... from SAP.
We have defined multiple roles (e.g employee and HR advisor). With the record model and authorizion roles I am able to give the correct authorization to both individual roles. Which means that every role is able to view or add the documents using individual element types.
The problem I am facing is that if an user has both roles how can I prevent e.g. the HR advisor of viewing the wrong documents of a person. The requirement is that a HR advisor is only able to view the documents of a person based on his advisor role, except his own file.
Hope anyone can help out.
Kind regards
Johan

I also looking to create new Anchor and put it in the standard one. But I still can not find how to do that. Please let me know if anyone can find how to link between new Anchor and RMS ID.
For your case, the problem is cannot assign to any folder or can assign but want to have new folder same as my case?

Hi Christoph,
Thanks for your answer.
The issue is while trying to define a Content Repository in transaction OAC0. -
I get this error - HTTP error: 404 Not Found -
I have the following settings:
Document Area : ArchiveLink
Storage type: HTTP Content Server
Version no. 0045
HTTP server : IP of the Documentum Server
Port Number 9081
HTTP Script: /webtop/drl/objectId/contentserver.dll (This file may not be available - where do I get this from?)
Transfer drctry: /usr/sap/QA1/SYS/global (This directory is on the SAP server - is this correct or should it be on the Content Server?)
Also, EMC says that we have to install the additional software - "Content Services for SAP" - Do we require this for establishing a connection?

Content conversion for multilevel varying structure File to Idoc

Hi All,
I have following file structure.
VO
C1
S1 1 to unbounded
     H1 1 to unbounded
          D1 0 to unbounded
          D2 0 to unbounded
          U2 0 to unbounded
          UC 0 to unbounded
My Idoc structure.
ISU_EL34
     IDOC 0 to unbounded
          E1ISU34 1 to unbounded
               ZSEGMENT 0 to 1
I have applied the content conversion for the length specific file as follows.
Recordset structure: VO,1,C1,1,S1,1,H1,1,D1,,D2,,U2,,UC,
Do I need to do any changes over here to satisfy the above file structure.
V0 and C1 occurs only once in a file.
for S1 I should have H1 compulsory and others are optional, but i need to create Idoc when D1 data is available only.
I'm able to read the total file with the above content conversion.
MY requirements:
1) I need to create the Idoc based on the occurance of D1 node. I'm using H1 data also in the idoc not S1.
2) My doubt is whether the content conversion I have provide is applicable to the structure I have prepared.
3) When I'm trying useOneAsMany function for the above ie H1 data should repeat in Idoc as and when D1 repeats.I'm failing the error is both queues are not contain same number of data..
Could anyone suggest how I should approach for the above scenario.

Hi Sravya,
It is really helpfull answer , Thanks for sharing my problem .
It worked for this purpose, but I'm facing following problems
MY scenario
The file contains records V0,C1,S1,H1,D1,D2,U2 and Uc
In which Im using the data of H1,D1,D2,U2 and UC for creating target Idoc.
Every H1 contains at least 1 D1 record, If D1 exists D2 ,U2 and UC may or may not exist.If exists those are in a sequence and should consider the data of them to create Idoc.
Idoc should be created for every D1.
Problem facing:
Do we have any mechanism to group the D1 records to the relevant header.since Im unable do this with content conversion.
I think bcz of above problem; some records (D2 & U2 & UC) data is populating in Idoc even there is no D2,U2 and Ucs.
Thanks,
venu.

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks
Shane

Changing content repository for external archiving:

Recently my company is in the process of transitioning from one document archiving server to another. We configured a new content repository in our system, and then I used transaction OACT to change the content repository for the category of documents that I am working with.
This appeared to work well on development, old documents on the server A were still accessible, newly created documents were archiving succesfully to server B.
The problem arose when I attempted to transport my change to the QA server. It seems that when a change to a content repository field is made in transaction OACT the transports do not contain a change to that field, so I cannot change it in QA.
The following entries are created in my transport:
IMG Activity Define Content Categories
     View Maintenance: Data
         V_SDOKSTCA
             SDOKSTCAE
             SDOKSTCAT
             SDOKSTCDSP
I can change the Document Area, but the content repository field is not included in the transport. Has anyone else run into this when migrating between archving servers?

It seems that it isn't a good idea to change the content repository for this type of object once a system has gone live. I'm planning to have all of the documents previously archived migrated to the new server and once that occurs I'll edit this field directly in production...
If anyone has a better suggestion please let me know.

Issue while migrating from File to DB based repository for SAP adapter

Hi
I recently migrated from file based repository to DB based repository.
SAP Adapter: DB repository for JCA configuration
After that I created the new targets and the jca log file showed me correct entry saying that it read from DB repository.
Thread[Thread-6,6,main] [info ] Repository URL 'jdbc:oracle:thin:@db_host:1521/fmwdbqa' resolved to repositoty type: oracle
But when I restarted the weblogic server I observed that it is again reading from the file repository.
Thread[[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)',5,Pooled Threads] [info ] Repository URL 'file:///opt/apps/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/soa/thirdparty/ApplicationAdapters/config/XYZ/repository.xml' resolved to repositoty type: file
Any reason why this is happening? Any other setting required to avoid this?
Regards
Subhankar

Hi Manoj
I checked the web.xml under MW_HOME/Oracle_SOA1/soa/thirdparty/ApplicationAdapters/iwafjca.war/WEB-INF folder. The iway.jndi is set to below :
<param-name>iway.jndi</param-name>
<param-value>eis/OracleJCAAdapter/DefaultConnection</param-value>
I checked the outbound connection settings from Admin console under below path
Home >Summary of Deployments >iwafjca > configuration
I can see that the properties IWayRepoURL, IWayRepoUser and IWayRepoPassword are set to blank here. Where exactly are these property values picked from ? Or do I need to manually edit it here in admin console itself?

Linking DMS to a Content Repository for Recipe Management

How do I link a document type to a content repository?
This is for Recipe Management. When I look in DC10 I can see that there is a document type of RMS for Recipe Management.
I assume this means Recipe Management is connected toDMS
I have created a content repository ZRM using OAC0.
How do I make the link between the document type RMS in DMS and the content repository ZRM?

Thanks for the reply but it isn't really what I was after.
I am only the basis guy so I am not sure of the application but my expectation is that users will save a document with a document type of RMS. This document should be saved to a Content Repository
What you have described is how to save a type of document such as MS Word to a particular repository. I was hoping that Recipe Management documents (possibly MS Word, possibly not) would go to a Recipe Management Repository.
There still might be the possibility that documents (possibly MS Word) for other projects e.g. packaging could be written to a different repository.
What I am hoping for is a link from the document type RMS in DC10 to the Content Repository defined in OAC0.
I have a suspicion this is via the category defined by OACT.
The link from SAP DMS to Content Repository seems fundamental to me. I am surprised no one has the answer
...or perhaps I have completely missed the point?

IBM FileNet instead of UCM as default content repository for WebCenter

Hi,
Appreciate if anyone can clarify the following queries:
Is it possible to replace UCM with IBM FileNet as the default (primary) content repository of Oracle WebCenter?
Is JSR 227 adapter available for FileNet to connect it to WebCenter (as Secondary, NOT as primary content repository)?
regards
Rafique

useful links:
UCM replacement with IBM File net
Using IBM FileNet instead of UCM
From the installation document:
The Documents service provides content management and storage capabilities for WebCenter applications. To use the Documents service, you must have a content repository > at the back end that contains the documents you want to manage. Oracle WebCenter supports content integration with the following external repositories:
Oracle Content Server
Oracle Portal 11g
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 Service Pack 2
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) version 3 Service Pack 2I know that the marketing materials show a Documentum adaptor, but I don't believe that's been created yet. I believe that it's a legacy BEA adaptor that hasn't been officially released for WC yet.
Thanks,

Configuring content repository for project archiving

Hi Experts,
Self have done the below steps for archiving projects.
1) Created a project, released it and set the status DLFL and DLT for the project through CN80.
2) For archving created the variant and saved it. For start date gave as immediate. For spool parameter selcted on printer and saved it.
3) In customizing Maintained the created variant as test mode variant and production mode variant. Selected the delete jobs as "Start Automatically". In "Place file in storage system' self have given the content repository created in Knowledge management in Define content repository. The content repository which i created was not available in F4 but just gave the name which i created. "Store before deleting check box" was checked and "Delete program reads from storage system" was also checked and then the data's are saved.
4) When i executed the variant, archiving was happening properly but storage was not successful. I was also able to access the project in CJ20N
5) In retreival of CN80 i was able to retreive the archived project as well when i give the archive version number, hence self think archving has happened properly.
My confusion is when i check "From database" check box and give the project in retreival then also the project is getting retreived. Self feel the project must not be available in physical database.
Help me in below points
1) Will the project be read only in CJ20n when the project is archived?
2) Steps to configure storage system in archving projects.
3) Do i need to do anything more than the stpes specified above.
Thanks,
Visvesh

Hello Swarna,
I will always prefer to use a different content repository rather than going with other repository which is already in use. This will help in management of post archive pdf documents effectively in content server as well as legal requirement management.
If one file size is 95 MB then if system takes 04secs to archive then it is very good response.
I am thinking that you wanted to mention it as 0.95MB but by mistake u mentioned as 95MB.
If it is 95MB then for archiving 10000 pdf documents it will require full day.
However for 0.95MB size of pdf file archiving i would suggest to go with saparate content repository.
Hope this answer will help you to take up further decisions.
-Thanks,
Ajay
