Advantages of third party Document Management vs SAP

We have had the IXOS product installed for a long period of time to store our SAP related documents such as drawings, POs, Invoices.  We also use IXOS to store our SAP archived data thru the SAP archivelink interface.  Due to cost and support issues, we are looking to replace IXOS.  The big question that keeps coming up is whether we actually need a third party product any longer or can SAP's content server and DMS handle the same items.  Our CIO continues to ask why do we need IXOS.  Unfortunately, I do not know enough about what SAP has in this area now to give him a definite answer.  Any input on this would be greater appreciated.

This is quite a good link...

Iw as at the recent SAP world Tour and the only people providing information on this were a company called Imagenow. 
We will be implementing a Document and record management system in the coming months.  And would be intersted other's feedback!

    Hi,
    Our requirement is to migrate the documents from intraspect oracle database to KM database.
    Please suggest how the migration happens from database to database. And also suggest whether this will effect the performance of portal as the intraspect database having very high volume of documents.
    If you have any links or any documents on this, please provide me.

  • Integration with  with 3rd Party Document management System

    Hi
    We are implementing Invoice Management in SAP, using the Opentext VIM ECC Addon.
    The Customer has a 3rd Party Document Management System called DocHarbour which is NOT Archivelink enabled.
    The process flow is that Invoices will be scanned and available in a share drive somewhere.
    Using SAP and Invoice Management Work, we would like to attached these documents to the relevant SAP Documents, and then post them to the 3rd Party Doc Management System , but the Images must be retreival in SAP at any time .
    Everything tells me the 3rd party Doc Management System needs to be ArchiveLink enabled for this work.
    Is anyone able to shed any light on this issue , provide possible solutions , workarounds or infor ?
    Any help or information appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Minesh
    My suggestion would be use SAP Content server provided by SAP as is easily available and easy to setup.
    Doing Integration with third party involves much time and efforts.

  • Third party CMS tool with SAP EP.

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a third party content management tool which can be plugged with SAP EP.
    Can you please suggest on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Adiga Shrinivasa

    Hi Shrinivasa,
    there are a lot of WCMS Systems that can be plugged with EP. Just have a look at the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio">portal content portfolio</a> where you'll find some certified business packages to integrate some CMS.
    I have good knowledge about CoreMedia and RedDot and they both run very well with EP. If I remember correctly,  the first one to be certified was a product from Interwoven, but I do not know that.
    If you do not want to invest in some external product for integration (doubled license fee, doubled administrational effort, ...) you should have a look at the following solutions:
    1. easy Web CMS by btexx (quite good)
    2. business package for web editing by SAP Consulting (same)
    3. SAP web page composer as shown on teched (part of SP 20 in Q1 2007)
    As I have a very close look to your issue (WCMS in EP) I'm looking forward to the web page composer. Maybe you should have a look at the teched slides.

  • Third-Party User Management Tools

    I'm looking for recommendations for third-party user management tools that can do the following:
    - Identify and bulk-expire/no visibility users that are inactive for >XXX days
    - Identify users with auto-forward rules
    - Bulk-delete inactive accounts (from GW database only, not eDirectory accounts)
    - Maybe even bulk-move inactive/expired accounts to a "dead accounts" post office?
    I have an immediate mandate to clean up our environment, and I don't see how to do this in bulk with existing native tools. It's just one guy (me) versus 42 post offices and 23,000 user accounts...
    Thanks!

    You can create your own tools using the GroupWise Administrative Object API and the GroupWise Object API.
    Please refer to the Cool Solutions article I wrote ( shameless self promotion ) "Scripting GroupWise" - Scripting GroupWise | Novell User Communities for more information on the GroupWise Admin API. I suggest that you modify the script listUser.vbs to include domain name ( GWUser.PostOffice.Domain.Name ) , post office name ( GWUser.PostOffice.Name ), visibility ( GWUser.Visibility ) and last login date ( GWUser.MailboxLastLoginDate). You will need to run an audit report on each post office to update the MailboxLastLoginDate property. Import the output into Excel and sort / filter accordingly for analysis.
    Setting an expiration date ( MailboxExpDate ) and / or visibility ( Visibility ) is done by assigning values to the respective properties and using the commit method - e.g GWUser.Commit
    Identifying accounts with auto-forward rules can be using GroupWise Object to log into each account using a trusted application key. I posted ( more shameless self promotion ) some sample code to list proxy access in another thread - https://forums.novell.com/novell-pro....html#poststop. It is not too difficult to modify the code to iterate through rules and select those that include the action forward.
    Deleting is be done using the the delete method - e.g. GWuser.Delete(eadGW) where eadGW is constant with the value 1.
    I would advise against using the Administrative Object API to automate moving accounts. Best practices to avoid problems during moves involve running GWCheck against user objects until there are no errors. I perform structure, contents, contents with attclip and contents with deldupfolders checks until there are no error before moving accounts. There is also the issue of how many simultaneous moves the post office agents can handle. More accurately it is the number of simultaneous purges on the source post office that need to be monitored.
    If you need more help with coding let me know.
    Sincerely,
    Bryan Vandenberg

  • Consume WS from Third Party System in a SAP Portal

    Thanks a lot.

  • HRMS Integration with third party Project Management Tool

    Hi All,
    We have plans of procurring a third party Project Management Tool which needs to be integrated to existing Oracle Financials. Project Management Tool needs employee information for its functioning.
    a)Is there any API available for this purpose which exposes HR data to any third party tool?
    b)Can anyone suggest what should be the approach for such integration?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    SA

    What 3rd party tool are you going to be using? You might get lucky and it might be something that Oracle has bought recently. Does this post mean you are using Oracle Projects? If so, you may want to post this question in that forum as well. At least you would limit the audience to projects oriented customers, so might get some better replies there than you will here. Food for thought.

  • AE cs3 on Vista can't complete third party content manager

    Hey there!
    I'm using AE cs3 with Vista on my PC, and I'm trying to install additional format files with the third party content manager installer that is built in AE, everything works fine, but the installer can't complete it's operation.
    Please help me!

    Time to get used to Vista... When you install stuff on Vista, always use 'Run As Administrator'. IE, Right click setup.exe (or whatever) and select "run as admin".
    Should have no more problems.. Get used to doing that for plugins, and everything you install.

    hi to all fellow apple users, i need to have a Third party Photos Manager app (i hate iTunes syncs) , which also provides the SET AS HOME/LOCK SCREEN feature just like the core photos app.... i downloaded "MyPics" app but it doesnt have dis feature.

    Only the photos in the built-in Photos app can be accessed vie the photo frame icon on the iPad's lockscreen or be used as wallpapers, third-party apps won't have access to it.
    Photo Manager Pro is another alternative photo management app which can copy phtoos to/from Photos, but again it can't be used on the lockscreen
    Thanks for this one, I was searching for something like that too and couldn't find anything.

    Since the solman reload monitoring data in CCMS, you need to make sure that your CCMS can monitor the third party software/hardware via CCMS agent.
