DMS data carrier configuration

I'm working with 4.0B and I have configured data carrier for my PM users. The problem is that it does not work:
User requirement: to attached document from LAN via CV01.
I have done the following:
1. Identify front-end computers
DATA CARRIER - default
TYPE (DATA CARRIER ) - w1
NET ADDRESS - default
DESCRIPTION - default for local pc
2. Define mount points/ logical drive
DATA CARRIER - ML_PM
TYPE (DATA CARRIER) - w1
PREFIX FOR ACCESS PATH-
mlavofn1\Organization\Field Operations\PMDir\
legend: mlavofn1 is LAN server and the rest the files directory.
The whole length of the configuration is less than 70 characters.
Error:
mlavofn1\Oragnization\Field Operations\PMDirl\:
which comes with 3 additional characters l\: at end of the string.
message no is 26 136 and when I checked for note, 26 136 basically meant for access path more than 70 characters.
My question is whether my configuration is correct or not??. if correct then it could a bug or other factors.
Appreciate advise on my configuration.
Thanks

Data Carriers and Data carrier type

Hi Sap Gurus,
Pls let me know is there any necesssity of defining any new Data Carrier types other than PC,
if so at what circumstances and requirements,
also pls throw some light about data Carriers, when is the new data carriers required to be created
at what circumstances and requirements.
is that to access a document from different server or Different system, if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
if there are say 4 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
rest of the 3 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2,3 and 4 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
Please throw some light on this
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Dear Christoph Hopf,
Thanks a lot for your Quick Response
as you have Explained,i assume it is mainly used to store a local copy or extra copy of the Original application files in the system which we use to View them, or if we feel to store the copy in any other system also.
Example Say there are 3 systems S1, S2 and S3
if we are viewing an original file in System S1 and want the same Copy to be stored in System S2 or S3.....
then this data carrier configuration is required if iam right?
But Sir apart from this funtionality can i also know the SAP definition purpose, as it defines data carrier type as below
The system requires the data carrier type in order to exchange data with other data carriers.
This is the case, for example, if the user:
wants to process original application files stored on another computer
wants to use an application installed on another computer
if i can interpret this in right way
it tells us that, by use of data carrier and Data carrier types
we can access a original file stored in Different systems,
if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
if there are say 3 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
rest of the 2 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2, and 3 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
if so how is this made possible?
pls explain with example or Screen shots in Wiki if possible
can u tell me what is the difference between Datacarrier and Datacarrier types with any examples as well
Thanks and regards

How to define a data carrier type "archive" in DMS

Hi, experts.
In order to intgerate DMS and ArchiveLink(Check in origin with ArchiveLink), i want to define a data carrier type "archive" in DC20.
I have already defined a content repository 'Z2' in OAC0, but i can't enter 'Z2' into the field-data carrier,
error message: You cannot use data carrier Z2 - try displaying possible entries
Message no. V&021
and the only possible entries is 'MA'
which type content repository could be used as data carrier type 'archive",
or there are some steps that i missed?
Here are parameters of 'MA' and 'Z2':
MA ARCHLINK SAP System Database 0046 ma
Z2 ARCHLINK HTTP content server 0046 Test
Thanks.

Hi,
Let me refresh your message with your Permission.
i think iam also in the same confusion, any suggestion regarding this is eagerly welcome.
i have some specific senario in DMS where the Client needs to store the DMS Original Files in SAP Archive Server through SAP Archive ink,
here if i configure a part of Archive Server, so as to store the Original application files of DMS,
say ZDMS_Arch01, ZDMS_Arch02, ZDMS_Arch03.
ie.. if i configure Archive server as a Storing medium for DMS Original Files, will it appear as an Option to be selected for storing the original application files,
just like as we get the list of storage catagories to store the Originals like DMS_C1_ST or any content server Storage catagory (clicking Check in original, in CV01N transaction
any one who have configured this please Clarify.
Regards
Sathish

Data carrier & application field are not getting displayed in CV04N

Hi Guru's
In TCode : CV04N, data carrier & application field are not getting displayed.
While i compare with my IDES system, data carrier & application fields are getting displayed in CV04N.
Let me know is there any configuration that has been missed out.
Regards
Bhanu

Hi Bhanu,
Please note that the fields 'Data carrier' & 'Application field' are visible only if no document type is entered.
Suppose you enter a document type and press ENTER then these fields disappear. This is because the field 'Application' was designed when only the storage is archive, vault or SAP-SYSTEM was possible and the number of added originals was limited.
Currently DMS allows storage of originals on Content Server and there is no limit on the number of added originals, the system behavior was changed due to performance reasons. To avoid performance problems if you search for a document with a lot of originals attached this field gets invisible if you enter a document type which uses the KPRO storage.

How to define data carrier?

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to use DMS and when defining data carrier I deleted the default configuration "Identify front end computers" for NT type. Now, is not being possible to back the standard configuration.
I click in "default entry" but the system selects automatically data carrier type "Se" and displays the following message:
Corresponding entry in "Define data carrier type "server, front end"" missing
Actually, the type "Se" does not exist, but why the system are selecting this instead NT?
Thanks in advance?

Define Data Carrier

Hi Gurus
We have installed content server in our project to store the original files. I want to know whether i should define the data carriers and what is the purpose of it. Can't we use the system without defining the data carriers? I know it may be simple question but i went through some forums with no luck.
Actually i want to know why we need to define the data carries and what are the steps of configuration to be done if we use the content server and even for SAP DB also.
Thanks
Harris

In SAP DMS,on occasions when you display an original file, the system always creates a local copy of this original file on your PC.
The data carrier,if defined(Eg:C:\Temp\), indicates where this particular original file is stored whenever it is displayed.Do note that this holds true for only a copy of the original file while the "actual" original file is still stored in the secure storage area i.e, kPro content server in your case.
Hope this brings in the required clarity for you to proceed.

DMS Data Migration-Help required

Hi,
I don't have enough knowledge on DMS Data migration.
In our recent Implementation, we are implementing SAP DMS.
Our client has more legacy data which is in their server. So we have to upload all the data's into SAP DMS.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Please advice me and provide me some examples to upload legacy data in DMS.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
There are few approach discussed in the thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/2119796
You may check feasibility on these approaches for your scenario.
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Creating these configurations into SAP is one time and should not be a problem.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
How much volume of data do you have in legacy system ?
Have a thought on whether do you really need to migrate all these data into SAP DMS ???
OR
You can configure the DMS system and start fresh leaving the document in legacy system as it is.
Hope this helps.

Define data carrier directory in My Documents

Hi Experts,
We are defining a DMS system, and would like to use the local directory defined for SAP as the directory where secured documents are accessed.
In our case, when accessing local options in SAP the directory defined is c:\documents and settings\windows user\sapworkdir
In data carrier definition we have a field path where we should need to enter the correspondent directory.
Which value should we enter to be able to use this default local directory?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Neil

Prasad,
Thanks for your answer but, from what I can see, in that path I can only define a static path. I need the path to be different for each user...
And not even SAP users, but taking into account the windows logon user.
That much sap does it when defining the local directory (for downloading reports, local files, etc.). I need to do the same but to this frontend path.
Any idea?
Thanks
Neil

Automatic debit / data carrier with alternative payer

Hello,
Does anybody know how to configure the data carrier to have a file with data records per alternative payer and not per main payer? Example:
Payer 1: Markt 10
Payer 2: Markt 11
Alternative Payer for both: Head Office 20
The postings are in the payers. The automatic debit uses now the "alternative payer" and its bank, but generates a file with one data record for each "payer". Our client requests one single posting per Head Office (alternative payer). I am looking for a solution to have the data carrier program add up the items and generate a file with single records per "alternative payer". Postings in the Head Office are not possible.
Does anybody know if there is a user-exit for this? PMW? Any ideas?   Many thanks!!!!

Hi
A customer who pays on behalf of another customer is known as an u2018Alternate Payeeu2019 (or Alternate Payer). Though the alternate payee pays on behalf of another, the system maintains all the transaction details in the account of the original customer. Designating u2018alternate payeeu2019 does not absolve the customer of his/her obligation for payment.
The u2018alternate payeeu2019 can be maintained in Client-specific data or in the Company Code area. When maintained in the Company Code area you can use that payer only in that Company Code; if defined at the Client level you can use it across all Company Codes.
There are three ways to u2018selectu2019 the alternate payee when an invoice is processed:
   1. The alternate payee (say, 1000) entered in the customer master record is the one selected by the system as the default.
   2. When there is more than one alternate payer (say, 1000, 1900, 2100, etc.) defined for a single customer in the master record (you will do this by clicking on the u2018allowed payeru2019 button and create more than one payer), you may select a payer (say, 2100) (other than the default, 1000) while processing the invoice. Now the system will ignore the alternate payer (1000) coming from the master record.
   3. If you have put a check mark in the u2018individual entriesu2019 check box in the u2018alternate payer in documentu2019 section in the customer master record, then this will allow you to propose a new alternate payer, say, 3000 (other than those already defined in the system). Now, after defining this alternate payer you can use it to process the invoice. In this case, the alternate payer (3000) takes precedence over the payers (1000 and 2100) in step 1 and 2 above.

Can we view HR DMS data via PA20/PA30

Dear SAP HR GuruS!
We had a requirement wherein we stored HR Data scanned and stored on
DMS server, we wish to link Employee DMS data to Employee master data
i.e supervisor should be able to view Employee data via PA30/PA20. what
is the way to view employee record ( Stored in DMS Server) ,
I am looking by any mean can be link it to PA20/pa30 to any infotype,
in one of the Tab of employee master data...

Hey,
There is no standard solution, but yoju can use this (see below) to create a object link between HR object and DMS
//Håkan
Adding Other Objects
Purpose
You can also link documents with SAP objects for which no linking is supported in the standard
SAP System.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for the Do
cument Management ,SAP objects that you want to link to document info records, by choosing Control Data ® Maintain key fields.
Process
Program two screens for the following module pools for the SAP object that is to be linked additionally:
u2013 SAPLCV00
u2013 SAPLCVIN
The process logic must be according to that of screen 0204 in program SAPLCV00 and must not be changed.
Create the function moduleOBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = name of the SAP object).
If this object can be classified, this function module already exists in the standard system. Otherwise, copy the existing function module OBJECT_CHECK_EQUI (linking of equipment) and change it to suit the new object.
Result
After you have completed the above, documents can be linked with the SAP object that you have added. You define the settings for this in Customizing for the Document Management System (see:
Object Links).

help me

Hi Vivek,
In the SAP standard this entry are maintained only by the system
itself and they cannot be entered manually in transaction DC20. I can
only provide you the following information on the possible settings for
variable HOSTNAME and the DEFAULT frontend entry.
1. Default entry
   Call transaction 'DC20'. Double-click node 'Define data carrier type
   "server, front end"'. Select the respective data carrier type (e.g.
   'PC') and double-click node 'Identify frontend computers'. Click
   button 'Default entry' in the top right corner of the table control.
   Note that it is only possible to create 1 default entry!
2. System variable HOSTNAME
   If you run Windows XP, please go to Start -> Settings -> Control
   Panel. Double-click on 'System'. Click on tab 'Advanced' and then on
   button 'Environment variables'. Create system variable 'hostname' and
   assign a value'. Save the new variable.
As there is already a DEFAULT entry for frontendtype 'PC' it cannot be
maintained for another frontend type.
Best regards,
Christoph

After adding a logical standby database through Grid Control for a RAC database, I noticed sometime later the Data Guard configuration disappeared from Grid Control. Not sure why but it is gone. I did notice that something went wrong with the standby creation but i did not get much feedback from Grid Control. The last thing I did was to view the configuration, see output below.

At the end am presented with a review of the selected options and then the standby database is created
Has any body come across a similar issue?
Thanks,

Any resolution on this?
I just created a Logical Standby database and I'm getting the same warning (WARNING: No credentials available for target ...) when I do a 'Verify Configuration' from the Data Guard page.
Everything else seems to be working fine. Logs are being applied, etc.
I can't figure out what credentials its looking for.
