Archive Link and toa01

Hi everyone.
I would like ask if somebody could help me with this one.
I would like to now how many of the billing documents we have produced are stored in our Content Manager solution. Therefore I made a program which takes the billing doc number plus 4 zeroes and the billing date. These I compare with the the firste 10 digits in the DOC ID field and Archived DATE in table toa01.
This works fine mostly but I found some examples where the billing doc has an copy of it in the Content Manager and when I search for this Doc. through transaction OAAD I found nothing. I entered the billing doc number 10 digits in the SAP OBJECT ID and found nothing like my program says. But when I take the DOC ID from the found billing doc and entered this one in the field I find the document and actually I found the DOC ID to which was unknown befor.
Does anyone has a solution for this one?
Thanks.

Hi Neha,
I'm sorry I don't have answer to your question but I wonder if you could help me.
I'm looking at OSS note 530792 to configure GOS 'create attachment' option to copy the attachments to the archive server. currently, these are written to the SAP office tables SOC3, SOFFCONT1, etc and I want to use the archivelink and SAPHTTP and copy to the archive storage.
Have you successfully managed to configure your system since you mentioned TOA01?
In the same GOS menu I've activated the 'Business document' option and can copy these to the archive server by correctly configuring OAC2 and OAC3.
I'll really appreciate of you could please share your knowledge.
Thanks.

  • Archive Link and external URL Link

    Hi,
    we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
    Doc Typ    url
    DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
    DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
    In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All  solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
    Regards,
      Christian

    Dear all,
    no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.

  • Content Server / Content Repository / Archive Link and co.

    Hi,
    i have installed a content server on an external Windows 2003 Server Plattform using MAXDB. The Server is now running and working properly. The test of the content repositories were positive too. Now im a bit confused about all the actions which are required to make a content rep known to SAP System via Archive Link. Is it correct to start the content server service in the SCIF transaction? Do i need to perform the Archive Link Workflow and Costumizing wizard. Which tables have to be altered?
    I would  be very greatful if anyone could tell me the steps which need to be done in order to succeed.
    Thanks in advance Christian

    Hi,
    Is it correct to start the content server service in the SCIF transaction?
    Not required
    the actions which are required to make a content rep known to SAP System via Archive Link.
    Create a content repository  in OAC0 using document area Archivelink and storage type HTTP Content Server.
    To use full functionality of  Archlink, other set of Archivelink configurations required one of them e.g.OAC3 to use this repository to be used by business objects.

  • SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
    does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
    another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
    iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
    Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
    if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
    please clarify.
    Points awaiting for clarification.
    Thanks and regards,
    Shanti

    Dear Hill,
    Thanks for your response,
    but my confusion is not yet solved.
    let me put it in a better way,
    1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
    2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
    so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
    3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive  server be used as an sole and single original  file storing system for DMS Also?
    4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
    please clarify.
    Thanks and regards

  • Problem with Archive Link and User ID

    Dear Experts,
    Currently we are attaching documents to business object using archive link feature through T code OAWD. 
    when user uploaded documents & when we try to search documents with Tr. code OAAD, we are not able to find from whcih User id documents got uploaded.
    As per client requirement, we had to find from which user id documents got uploaded as around 10 user id's got authorization of uploading documents against same business object.
    Even in individual Tcodes other than tr. code OAAD of business objects where documents are seen, we don't find User Id/Creator name.
    any suggestions will be much useful...
    Thanks in advance...

    The standard archivelink tables (TOA*) do not gather this data. If this is a must have requirement then using single step workflow may give you the ability to capture this data within the workflow logs.
    To create this scenario you would enable only the storage scenario "storing for subsequent entry" within the document presettings via OAWS. Then when a document was uploaded it would create a "workitem" that is sent to the agent id. Default will be user if no setting was created in OAWS.
    The user would then have to go to their SAP workplace inbox to execute the work item and "link" the document to the transaction.
    This scenario is sometimes referred to as "early archiving" by old timers like myself.
    It is most often used in Accounts Payable scenarios where a central shared scanner is passing out many work items to a larger group.
    From TAO* Tables we can use SAP_OBJECT to Identify Invoices with PO by object BUS2081 or invoices without PO by object FIPP. From the field OBJECT_ID we can match a specific invoice number. BUS2081 shows invoice number + fiscal year as the Object id. FIPP shows Company code + invoice number + fiscal year. The ARC_DOC_ID field gives us the unique document identification string for the scanned image. AR_DATE = the date the work item is completed. This is when the invoice document is “parked”.
    A selection from table SWWLOGHIST searching for METHOD SWW_WI_STATUS_TO_COMPLETED and METH_EDATE = to AR_DATE from TOA* Table (26.06.2012) and  PARA_VAL_1 = *ARC_DOC_ID* (*aaaakkjdx1ce6yn3e3aacaerb12zi*) will provide output from which you can gather the work item ID.
    Select WI_ID then query table SWWWIHEAD for overview status of item.
    From table SWWWIHEAD you can gather such information on the work item as the work item creator WI_CREATOR, the work item status WI_STAT, creation date WI_CD,  completion date WI_AED, and work item agent WI_AAGENT.
    The WI_CREATOR will be the user who "created the workflow item" for your report.
    This a the "long way around" to overcome this lack of data being gathered by ArchiveLink documents.
    I hope this late answer is helpful for someone.

  • Content Transfer Archive Link and sap viewer

    Hello,
    I configured archive link to view attached documents with the sap viewer via HTTP. The document is stored in a external Content management system. When I try to retrieve a document, the sap system genereates a request to my external archive server. The server sends a response back to sap. But will the content directly go from the archive server to the sap viewer application or will the content travel to the sap server and then to the client pc? For example: the sap server is in australia, the client PC in the USA and also the repository and archive server is in the USA. Will the content travel to australia and then back to the client PC in the usa?
    Thanks,
    Nicole

    Hi Nicole,
    As far as i know when you create a document in you Content server SAP creates a link to that document, When your frontend request a document, SAP forward you to that link and SAPviewer retrieve the info directly from the Content server to the frontend.
    Hope this help!

  • Error -maintain archiving parameters for outgoing documents in archive link

    Hi,
    I am trying to archive an outgoing document from SAP i.e. an invoice to a content repository using archive link and getting the below error:
    Maintain archiving parameter(s) for output type RD00 (appl. V3)
    Message no. VN096
    Diagnosis
    At the time of output determination, the archiving parameters for output type RD00 (application V3) were incorrectly maintained in Customizing.
    Additional information:
    SAP object:
    Archiving object:
    Procedure
    Maintain the archiving parameters and repeat output determination for the required document.
    Kindly help as to from which transaction I can maintain archiving parameters for this transaction ???
    With Regards
    Neha

    Hi,
    Which storage device are you using? I can only speculate the problem. Ok. So output type is configured properly. Can you check the object type for your document type in Transaction code OAC3. Check it should be VBRK. If it is not then change it to VBRK. Now go to transcation code OAD5 and check every thing is configured there or not. If it is all done then it should work. I presume that all basic customization is done in your system.

  • Queries related to DMS and Archive link

    Hi Experts,
    1. Is it possible to link documents in MIGO or FB03 through Archive link with documents already stored via OAWD or CV01N.
    2. Can we use any single transaction code for reporting purpose where we can find all the documents stored via DMS and Archive link.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikas

    Hi,
    Christoph already answered that question in regard to document info records.
    Regarding documents from OAWD, your question is a bit surprising. The main idea of OAWD is to trigger a workflow for linking an external document to a SAP object (document in FB03 or whatever). This is done via ArchiveLink, so all documents linked via OAWD will appear in transactions like MIGO or FB03. Once more, please refer to the documentation:

  • Problem viewing .xlsx and .xlsm file in DMS using Display from Archive Link

    Hello All,
    We are using IXOS as a content server for storing the documents through SAP Archive Link.
    We are not storing any documents in SAP DMS.
    The client has an requirement to manage .xlsx and .xlsm documents.
    1. xlsx - We defined a new document class xlsx under SAP NetWeaver ..-> ArchvieLink  and made the required mime and sheet settings. This allows to upload a .xlsx file to IXOS server succesfully (using Check in Archive) link.
    But whenever we try to view the file using "Display from Archive", the browser gives a warning message that the file is in different format than xls. Do you want to still open (Standard Excel application message). On clicking yes, the file opens in .xls format instead of .xlsx.
    The client doesn't want to change the format to .xls. What can be done to preserve the .xlsx files.
    2. xlsm - Any clue as to does SAP ECC 6.0 support this file type for DMS? And if how the config settings are to be done?
    I will be grateful any help.
    Thanks.
    Ketki

    Hi Ketki,
    based on your description I think that maybe SAP note 1289314 could help here and made sure that the local copy also has extension XLSX or XLSM.
