Attachment link is not visible- external content server

Hi All,
I have integrated an external content server to SAP
i have done following activities:
1) I have maintained content repository using Tcode OAC0
2) I have Maintained Global Doc Type (ZFININV Finance Invoice scan doc document class: TIF) using Tcode OAC2
3) i have maintained Link for Doc type ZFININV and assigned Object type: BKPF    using tcode OAC3
4) I have all My documents scaned and residing there on my content server . So i have manually created entry for these documents in Table TOA01 .
5) I have maintained protocol using tcode OAA3
      Function : Display Stored Document
     Doc Class: FAX
      communication type : HTTP
In application Maintenance i have used internet explorer as an application.
7) In tcode OAG4 : i have maintained settings for storage and display.
8) Now i can search document using Tcode OAAD. i can display document in my content server viewer
Now my customer wants that while doing business transaction , customer should be able to attach link of supporting document   which is already residing there on my content server.
Say for example: I display a Finance document using tcode FB03. While doing maintenance of this document ,from the same screen , i want to attach supporting document (or link of the document) which is already archived there in my content server
but when i click on attachment list (using GOS) , i can not see any link which i can attach to this transaction
please suggest me .. whether i forgot any step Or is there any other way to do this requirement?
thanks

Dear all,
as naveen replied in this thread:
Alteratively, in FB03, try using Environment -> Additional Assignments to see if it meets your requirements. You will have to explore a bit and do some trial and error tests for the solution as this is a particular requirement which you have got.
This is standard functionality provided by sap
Storing Incoming Document->Manual storing-> Assigning a Document that is Already Stored:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4f/99386b446d11d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
For this additional assignment, the time at which the business object was created does not matter. It is also possible to assign other archived documents to existing business objects. An archived document is assigned using the function module ARCHIV_APPEND_DIALOG_META.
This additional assignment fulfils my requirement . but i cant see this option for other transaction (say for example ME51n or MM01 ) for which i can do this additional object assignment.
Is it possible to add this additional assignment option in another business transactions context menu? or anyother work around to fulfill this requirement...
thanks

Please tell me steps for "how to attach a document from external content server using Generic Object Service "
Scenario is : For example when we change any Master records or create a new PO, or do some financial transaction then i need to attach the supporting document which is there in my content server connected to SAP.how do we manual attach a Document in SAP using GOS.
Do we need to do some special configuration to use GOS .please give the steps from initial.
Thanks

Hello,
Check your configuration of document type assignement to required business document - object type, Archivelink table, content repository in OAC3 transaction.
Goto respective business document > Click on GOS > Create > Store business document - Here you can see defined document type with desctiption. Double click on this the assign your document to this business document. Save it.
This will help in attaching the document to your required business document.
To verify you can check the archivelink table or by transaction OAAD.
Hope this will help you.

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid

ArchiveLink and External Content Server

Newbie question.
Well, we are going to try to implement ArchiveLink HTTP interface 4.5 for a DMS to be able to use it as certified external content server. We are planning to user java/jsp. We can specify content server as 'http://mycontentserver:8080' and in script 'contentserver.jsp'. That part I understand. SAP is going to call contentserver.jsp and will append a request like 'getDoc' to it along with other parameters like docId, contRep, authId, expiration etc. The URL will look like http://mycontentserver:8080/contentserver.jsp?getDoc&contRep&authId&expiration. Is it correct that the contentserver.jsp will have to parse these parameters and create a getDocument request understandable for the DMS? Secondly, what if the DMS is not storing documents in components? Do we then have to modify the underlying DMS architecture to make it support SAP document structure (one document can have one or many components)?
Regards,
-Y

Hello,
Unfortunately I have no answer for you be a small question,
Where can be found information on ArchiveLink HTTP interface 4.5 implementation, I intend to do the exact same thing as you for our DMS system.
Thank you,
Eric

Customizing KPRO for an external Content Server

Hello !!
Could you help us about this problem .
We need to install document's archiving onto a external Content Server (product Documentum), using KPRO.
We have customized thus :
OAC0 : Content Repository = Z1 for DMS ( DocArea) and version 045.
CSADMIN : We receive the message HTTP command adminContRep (operation configGet) is not possible for Z1 (only as of 0046) when we validate .
OACT : (Maintain category) , Z1 is affected to SOFFHTTP .
SKPR08: Categories for physical doc classes , the category SOFFHTTP is affected to the class SOFFHIO.
With the transaction CV01N , used to create a FID and to join a document , we receive the following error when we try to archive the document :
"Error during the archiving of D:\Carte..".
Nevertheless we can find the joined document onto the server Documentum.
Do we forget a customizing ??? Thanks a lot .

Hello
i don't know the version of SAP ERP you're using but nevertherless you should bear in mind this detail:
CSADMIN: "digital signature" not checked means you are not using it.
OAC0:"No signature" SHOULD be checked if you are not using it (to be consistent with CSADMIN)
However i am not sure this is solely responsible of your errors; in case of SAP content server, if it works for one user, it will work for the others.
Please be more clearer in your last part ???
Do you mean only the user having done the check-in of the file who can afterwards access the original (in display and change) ?
what do you mean by "For the other people, it doesn't find the original location" and also by "unless we create the same original location, or we change the original location".
In case of SAP Content Server, we don't care about "location", whether the file comes initially from a fileserver X or Y or Z, as far as the file has been correctly checked-in the content server, it should be accessible for anybody (as far as user rights allow it)

thanks
oliver

Hi,
We have to do the following post install activities to connect to Content server from DMS.
On SAP Systems (ECC) using CSADMIN t-code we have done the following post installation steps to check whether Content Server is reachable from SAP system.
When use hit CSADMIN option on the screen
Here we need to uncheck the Check Signature check box as we are not using certificates.
Here we need to give HTTP server (Content Server ) info like host name and the port number service is(1090) running.
2. Using OAC0 t-code create Repository on SAP system (ECC)
Then from here Hit CS ADMIN to create rep on Content Server.

External Content server customizing

Hello,
I am trying to configure an external content server for attachment storage on a SRM 4.0 system.
I had a look on both sap Help, SDN forum and config guides, but I didn't find the customizing steps description.
Can anyone help me.
Regards.

Hi Vadim
I'm facing the same problem right now.
Do you happen to have some documentation on this that could help me solve the issue ?
Configuration of the archive seems to work, but i'm still missing something in SRM setup because attachments are still in stored in BBPCONT.
Thanks in advance for any information that could help...

TS1506 My attachment symbol is not visible when I am sending an email. How do I get it back?

Attachment option is not visible when sending an email through aol.com.

When you are composing an email tap at the location you want to insert a photo or video. The option to insert comes up. Tap on that and select the photo or video you wish to insert.
Alternately you can use the Photos app and select up to five photos to insert into an email. Tap select, select the photos and then tap the Share icon. Select Mail and an email will be created. You can then address the email, add a subject and type in content.
To attach other things like a PDF, Word Doc, etc. you need to use the app that creates or edit seize items. Again select the item you want to email and tap on the Share icon in the appropriate app.

External Content Server configuration

Hi,
Can anybody provide me how to configure External content server for Archivelink.
Regards
Laxmi Bhushan

Hi Laxmi,
For contetn server installation use t-code OACT - maintain the repository here if not add it. Then in OAC0 define the repository means select are as document management,type HTTP content server or archivelink. Then maintain IP adress and port here.
Then goto CSADMIN and here activate the certificate it's very important task.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Do we need an External Content Server to be configured with OLM

Would like to know if an external content server is mandatory for Oracle OLM on R12.
I have read notes that Content Servers cannot be hosted on the middle tier of Ebiz but have also been told from other sources
that it can be hosted but has some limitations interms of file types supported.
Would like to know if the above is true and if so what are the limitations

Hi Muthu,
An external content server is not mandatory for OLM rel. 12.
You can use an OLM content server, an external content server or any other server that can serve up the content based on URL's.
Oracle does not support an OLM Content Server being hosted on the eBiz middle tier, even if it has been seen to be working in some installations.

HCM P&F - Attachment section is NOT visible for the approver

Hi
Attachment possible in the process but after submission (with attachment), when approver opens the process, attachment section is not visible to them. We are using FPM forms.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Thanks Chris,
let me clarify.....
I want that when a user click on "Back to Author" button, do_operations should trigger
Your below part is really what what I want....
"Now if you expect that when the user clicks "back to author" that you can "catch" that in your "do operations", then that is very wrong. "Do Operations" only gets triggered by the started "check", "user_event_check" and your "user events" set up as such. Things like "back to author" or "withdraw" are handled within the application itself.You would have to modify/enhance that in order to "catch" the "back to author" button press event."
Any help on how to achieve this functionality would be greatly appreciated.

GOS - Attachment - Link is not deleting from SRGBTBREL

I have created custom transaction and this have option to attach desktop files (ie Word, Xls, PPT, PDF) etc into this transaction. For this i am using class CL_GOS_MANAGER.
After the attachment sometimes users will delete the attachments from attachment list.
My problem is some attachment links are not deleted completely from SRGBTBREL (Link Table) . Because of this next time users displaying the attachment list still the deleted entries are showing in the list.
If users double clock it is giving a error message "Document does not exist" ( message class SO and message Number 006) .
Any body come across this kind of scenario?
Given below is the code for deleting the attachments
* Object creation of GOS View
    create object gos_view
      exporting
        ip_mode = 'D'.                     " Display Mode
* Start GOS Service for attachement view
    i_viewobj-objtype = 'YATT_ATTA'.
    i_viewobj-objkey = yatthdr-docno.
    call method gos_view->start_service_direct
      exporting
        ip_service = 'VIEW_ATTA'
        is_object = i_viewobj.
