Archive routing in SAP archiving

Has anyone used Archive routing? I keep getting error message "No suitable content repository / logical file name found". but I know that logical file name has been defined properly, so as variant. Any idea?

Hello again,
I think you will need to provide more information as there is some type of inconsistency between what you have configured for archive routing (rules and conditions) and the selection criteria in the write job variant.
Out in the SAP Help Portal, it states:
When entering the selection criteria in the variant it is important to make sure that the set of data covered by the selection criteria of the variant falls AT LEAST into the set of data covered by the rules (it does not have to be exactly the same, but at least a subset). If this is not the case, the archiving session is terminated before the write job begins.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Archive and delete sap event management objects

Team, I need to configure the archiving objects and residence time to Archive and delete EM objects. there are three steps of configuration, and I have never done this before.
Can any one of you help me in setting up this config and the programs that need to run to archive and delete these objects.
I would really appreciate you help and quick response on this.
Define Archiving-Object-Specific Customizing
Define Residence Times for Archiving or Deleting
Define Settings for Deleting Document Flow
Thank you!!!

Hello Steffen,
I was told that it would be possible to display archived and deleted event handlers using BAPI /SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_GET_DATA_GEN. I tested it, but could not verify this statement. SAP Help reads:
"The archiving object /SAPTRX/A0 only supports a technical view in the Archive Explorer of the Archive Information System. This view is similar to the display in transaction SE16."
It would be great if you could help clarify this. Thank you!

How to find Archive data In SAP

Hi experts ,
How to find Archive data in SAP throught the following tcodes FTWL & AS_afb.
Thnx
Venky

Hello,
Transaction FTWL is for the DART files (not actually archived data) that are stored in your archive server. In order to run a query, or browse the DART file, you would need to "Import from archive" from within FTWL and then browse the file.
I am not sure what you mean by AS_afb. Please provide more information.

Mass upload of documents through SAP Archive Link

Hi Experts,
Our client is having a requirement, to upload legacy (old) data from third party tool to DMS Content server through Archive link. Tool is implemented and it works fine for attaching individual document along with SAP Object like, Purchase Order, material, etc.
We dont have any idea as how to upload bulk of drawings for material, need your advice on this.
Regards,

Hi,
I am trying to get more info on how to bulk upload employee documentation through SAP Archive Link' OpenText Enterprise Scan into the categories in OAWD. Once the documents are in Enterprise Scan the Administrator needs to link these to the categories in SAP. This is a manual process - is there a way to bulk upload these documentation to the right categories? Since these documents vary I am not sure that OCR will be a help.
Pleae could you help in this regard.
Thank you.

Archiving documents in SAP Records Management

Hello experts,
Does anybody know how to archive documents in SAP Records Management? By default, they are stored somewhere in SAP database. However, based on the SAP documentation, they can be stored also to archive by using ArchiveLink. Where is this configuration done and how? Or do we need some coding here?
I'm interested in two different solutions:
1) Document will be stored on an archive server right from the start. By doing this, I no longer need to move the document content myself.
2) Moving existing Records Management documents to archive. I know there is a program SRM_KPRO_CONTENT_RELOCATION for this purpose, but it doesn't seem to be working without some archiving/RM configuration before somewhere else.
We are using Records Management as part of Digital Personnel Files and the documents to be archived are completed Adobe forms.
Best Regards,
JV

Hi JV,
You need to define the repository in OAC0 transaction. As per my analysis now your document are stored in sap database.
If you are using separate serever then confuigure as follows in OAC0:
Document area : SAP Records Management
Storgae type : RFC Archive
define IP address and port. Then goto CSADMIN and activate the certificate for the same.
or if using SAP Database then make the changes in above areas.
Then these archived documents will get saved in content server instead of sap database.
Hope this will help.

Use of SAP DMS & SAP Archive Link both together

Dear DMS Experts,
I am little bit new to DMS and have very less idea about functionalities and capabilities of SAP DMS & Archive Link.
I have got few questions:
1. Is it possible to use both SAP DMS & SAP Archive link togther.
For example, there are certain objects like GRN, Invoice, Employee etc which are not supported in standard DMS.
However, they are supported in archive link.
But at the same time, there is requirement of setting and resetting of some statuses of the documents attached with PM notification or with PR / PO. This functionality is available with SAP DMS.
So I want to know, is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects.
2. In case of SAP archive link configuration, we need to define link between Object Type, Document type and content repository
in node "Edit Links" under "Basic Customizing" under "ArchiveLink".
Here we can not use all the content repository which we have created normally. But we can use only limited content repository ID.
How does system decides, which content repository id can be used.? Where can i define that.?
3. With SAP archive link, can i store my documents in the same content repository in which I am storing my all the documents with SAP DMS. I mean to say, both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.
We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only.
Would request you all to please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat

..is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects...
Yes,you may use Archivelink for static documents that would be required purely for reference while DMS can be configured to handle documents that are more dynamic in nature (that require status change,version,revisions et-al)
..both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only...
Yes,you may store DMS and Archivelink documents can reside on the same Content Server.Content repository is a logical area/partition,hence you may create one content repository for DMS and another for Archivelink(on the same Content Server).

External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link

We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.
Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
Many Thanks
Claire Crosby-Clarke

Hi,
>Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable >of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.
In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.
We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.
>If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC >Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.

GOS objects SAP Archive Link

Hello Experts,
In transaction such as IW21, VA01, etc when we attach documents ( Excel, word, PDf's) in GOS ( Generic Services Objects) the document is stored in the Content repository and has a SAP Archive Link for e.g '&SO_KProObjectID=SOFFLOIO 4A6D66F30E37466EE1000000921B4EDD'
Is its possible to convert this Archive Link into an URL?
OR
Is it possible to read the contents of the document at archvie Link into an internal table???
Kindly help with possible solutions.
Regards,
Mansi.

Hi,
check this wiki [page|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ABAP-SendingGOSattachmentstoanemailaddress]. It contains an example of attaching GOS objects to an email.

How to retrive data from SAP Archive (from Cluster or Content Table)

Hi,
I am working on HR -ABAP where i have a scenario to retive employee photo and disaplay as output in smartforms.And these employee photo are stored in Cluster table SDOKCONT1 in SAP Archive Link (storage type - SAP System Database).
Anybody can tell me the way how to retrive data ( employee Photo ) from this cluster and display its output in smartform dynamically.
Regards,
Sourabh Shrivastava

Hello Sourabh,
If I am not wrong, there are two parts two your query...
a) Data or Content Retrieval
b) Displaying Retrieved content
Here is my feedback
a) The Content can be Retrieved using the FM ARCHIV_GET_TABLE.
Pass the Archive Object, SAP Object and the SAP Object ID and based on the Connection table entries (TOA*), the underlying Content Repository (T-code OAC0) is determined and a request for synchronous retrieval is made to the Content Server.
b) Display of Retrieved content is normally done through dedicated viewers (Ex: Livelink Viewer) or front-end applications (Excel, Word) based on the Protocol (OAA3/OAA4) specified in the Content Reository Configuration. Hence, to my knowledge, you cannot display the content directly in the Smartform.

SAP Archiving & Document Access by Open Text installation problem

Hi!
Has anybody successfully installed the "SAP Archiving & Document Access by Open Text"?
Currently I'm trying to Install the "Runtime and Core Services 10.1.0" - a part of "Open Text Enterprise Library Services 10.1.0".
The install guides I follow: "Open Text Enterprise Library Services 10.1.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide.pdf" and "Open Text Runtime and Core Services - Installation and Upgrade Guide.pdf".
All the prerequisites a fulfilled, but the process of installation fails with message "The installation of Runtime and Core Services 10.1.0 returned an error". There is no any log or trace file created during the installation, so I cannot find out what causes the problems.
System configuration:
OS: Windows 2003 SP2 32-bit
DB: MS SQL 2005
AS: Tomcat 5.5
JAVA: JDK 1_5_0_22
Any idea?

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
Shanti

SAP Archive process

Hi all,
How to archive the data from SAP when the data have a delete tag?
can any one please explain the archive process in SAP? we have to delete production order data?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
veera
Edited by: Veerab on Oct 3, 2011 9:52 AM

Hi,
Main transaction is SARA of all SAP archiving objects;
1) Complete the customization steps of the SAP archive object on SARA
2) In order to delete the documents, you need to archive the object successfully, first
3) Then, you can delete the archive session object
4) Do not forget to reorganize the archived tables and create the statistics
The object name is PP_ORDER.
