Adding Word attachment to a SOFM object and then to Workflow container

Hi!
I have a Web Dynpro for ABAP application that should send attachments of uploaded files to a workflow container. I have already managed to do this, and it works fine for TXT files, but when I try to attach a WORD (.DOC) file the file looks corrput when I open it from the SAP inbox.
When uploading files in Web Dynpro it is as an XSTRING. I have tried out the following alternatives regarding convertion of the XSTRING before it is inserted in the SOFM object:
1) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4110.
Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
2) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4102
Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
3) Convert from XSTRING to BINARY format
I use function module 'SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE'
and then swf_create_object lr_sofm 'SOFM' ls_sofm_key.
before I call some macros to fill the container.
Anyone else who have tried to do this with success? I'm greatful for any help.
Regards, Tine

Hello there.
This is probably an usability question that you should ask Microsoft, not us. In any case, you probably need to open the document (it's probably a document that can't be open inside Firefox, so use the appropriate software) and copy it from there.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Automate attach docs to SAP Objects and store in FileNet P8 and Toa01 table

Hi..
I would like to know how to automate the process of attaching documents to SAP objects and simultaneouly store the documents in Filenet P8 Database creating a link in the archive table T0A01.
Appreciate all your thoughts <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>..
Thanks.

Hi.
1) Is that true? Do I need to purchase the P8 adapter?
Yes you have to buy this adapter. the sap systems communicates via archive link with acsap.
2) Will upgrading to 4.5 allow us to communicate to P8 without the adapter?
NO, sorry.
3) Or finally, is no change required?
see qustion one...

Hi,
I had the same problem in the last days and finally I got a quite simple solution:
I had a look at the FM SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE an noticed that it calls another FM (SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1) which has a tables parameter for HEX data and is actually able to create a SOFM object from HEX data.
I simply copied SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE as a customer FM and applied a few changes to make it accept HEX data:
First I added a new table parameter in the interface which gets the HEX data from the calling application (uploaded data using BIN format):
OBJECT_CONTENT_HEX LIKE SOLIX
Here is the code of the FM (I marked all additional and changed lines with a comment):
function z_test_sofm_create_with_table .
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(NOTE_TITLE) LIKE SODOCCHGI1-OBJ_DESCR OPTIONAL

endif.
*- set export parameter
sofm_key = document_info-doc_id.
endfunction.
The returned SOFM key I added to a container element. The element refers to event parameter of type OBJ_RECORD in my ABAP OO Class
Using this function I was able to raise an event by using Method cl_swf_evt_event=>raise
that invoked a workitem containing an Excel-File i had uploaded as binary file and passed to the FM z_test_sofm_create_with_table as document type 'XLS'.
In the woritem preview when clicking on the attachment the file was opened directly in Excel.
Actually the new lines for calculation the file size is not yet quite correct. At first glance it does not seem to cause any trouble, but I will stll check that. In FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT the size is again checked and calculated if initial, so leaving size initial might also be an option.
I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.

Conversion of word doc to pdf with ms word how to change to pdf and then ppt?

I have used my ms word to convert word doc to pdf, i purchased conversion ability from link in adobe reader and what do i do next.
New to this.

Hi adog,
No worries! We'll get this sorted out for you. I'm not sure that I follow, though. You converted a Word file to PDF, and now you want to convert that file back to Word, and then to PowerPoint? That seems like a lot of steps, when you could import your Word document into a PowerPoint file.
If I'm missing something, and misunderstanding your process, please let me know. It's best to avoid unnecessary conversions from one format to another to another, if possible.
Best,
Sara

How can I duplicate a smart object and then edit it, without affecting the original?

I have a vector element from illustrator that I am placing in a tshirt mockup in photoshop. I have the layout essentially how I would like, but I am trying different color variations. I would think to just duplicate the first placement and then edit the color of the resulting copy, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a bit further, and found that I should try the "replace contents" option under smart objects, and that this would change the copy. So I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector, and then made the color change I had in mind, and then saved it as a separate document that I could then use in replacing the contents of the copied. This however, is still affecting both smart objects!
I have tried this as both linked smart objects and embedded smart objects without success.
Ultimately, I simply want to maintain the position of the original layer with the duplicated and edited layers. If you know of a better way, please share!

I'm on CC on a Mac.
What 21 is talking about is making some sense.
I am able to create new smart object via copy, then create a variation on the original file linked in the parent smart object. Then I save that from illustrator with a different file name. Then I go back to photoshop and replace contents of the new smart object, linking it to the newer illustrator file.
This gets around the problem, but it takes a few more steps than the same thing did it in earlier versions of photoshop.

How can I apply a timestretch to different null objects and then use them to parent layers?

I am using several hundred stills which are held on screen for different lengths of time. Is there a way to create null objects with various timestretch values and then use them to parent my stills?
I'm trying to find an equivalent to the 'paste attributes' function in Final Cut Pro.
Thanks in advance
A

If you have movement on the stills you can set up expressions based on in and out points. That's what I do. I then drop all my stills in order into a comp then set the out point for all stills for the longest duration. I then set group colors for layers that I want to make different lengths, do a group select and then adjust the out points for those layers. When I'm done I sequence the layers using the keyframe assistant.
The other way I work is to use an audio track with markers for timing. I have an expression that reads the markers and sets opacity for the layers based on pairs of markers. The motion is also controlled by expressions. That's an even faster way to set up an animated slide show.
The last way I work is just to set in an out points for all layers, sequence the layers, use expressions to do the motion and then use time remapping on a pre-comp to adjust the timing of the slide show. All methods are quick and easy.
Here's a fly in bounce and then drop out fxx preset that will give you an idea of how expressions based on in and out point work for slide shows. You just drag the layer to it's resting position, apply the animatiokn preset and the layer flys in, bounces, and then drops out the bottom of the comp. Works in 2D and 3D space.

How do you click on object and then unclick that onbject to then click on another object?

I am building a simple game in which you must click on a square to activate it, meaning when you click on it you have control of its movement. I then want to be able to click on the square again so that you don't have control of it, and then you can click on another object in the game. What is the code to allow this? I believe its an eventListener for a mouse event.

Clicking either way involves assigning an event listener for the CLICK event, as in...
yourSquare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, manageControl);
wherein bth the name of the square that I used (yourSquare) and the name of the event handler function (manageControl) are named however you want them named. The real work gets done in the event handler function...
function manageControl(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// this is where your code will go to determine if the square has been clicked to control it versus clicked to give up control.

Conversion of a Word 2010 Document with inserted objects to pdf with adobe acrobat XI

Hi,
I am working in a Wrod document with inserted objects such as ppt files, word documents and even pdf documents. you open the word document, push in the object and then the inserted file opens. I have converted it to pdf with one button click and the index works, that's to say, you press in the index and you go to the section selected. However the inserted objects are images and you can no open them.
Do you know how to keep the inserted objects????
Thanks

Pretty sure that the PDF will contain exactly what you'd get if you printed the Word document. There is no promise or expectation that objects will be "live".

Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

Hello all,
how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
Kindest regards from Germany,
Markus

Markus,
Welcome to the forum!
I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

What do you mean by this "PO number should open in workbench"?
Do you want the PO transaction to open? Or what is this "workbench"?
If you want to display the PO, you can try the following:
- Most likely you have the PO business object BUS2012 in the workflow container (check this in SWDD)
- Bind this object from the WF container to the user decision step/task (into the "_Adhoc_Objects" container element)
-Now you will have the PO object as an attachment in the work item, and when you click it in business workplace, the purchasing document should open
-Please make sure to start new workflow after your changes, since your changes will not have an effect to the old WF instances.

Is there a way to create an object using Trapcode Form and then use that object as a particle in Trapcode Particular?

I made some objects in Cinema 4D and I tried to import them into After Effects CC 2014. I get an error saying 'Cannot find Adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link'. So I tried it in AE CC and that worked. However, I want to create a form object and then use that as a particle for Trapcode Particular. Is this even possible?
Thank you for any help!

There are also size limitations or rather suggestions for particle size. If I were creating an animated 3D shape using Form or C4D and wanted to use it as a particle I would keep the size of the particle about 1/6 to 1/8 of the comp size. You would create a new comp for your particle, animate it, then nest the particle comp in your main comp, turn off visibility, and then use it as a particle in Particular.

I am so frustrated. I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.
