CFolders and DMS Integration

Hi,
At present we have DMS. We are going in for cFolders now.
How do we integrate cFolders and DMS? What are the pre-requisites / configurations needed?
Where can I find the related documents?
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
please check the cFolders configuration guide (for release 4.0, the guide is also attached in note 973764), chapter u2018cFolders Back-End Integrationu2019 or the Online Help in the SAP Help Portal under http://help.sap.com/ > SAP ERP > SAP cProject Suite > Project and Portfolio Management XX > Design Collaboration with cFolders > cFolders Functions > cFolders Back-End Integration.
For example, you can use the back-end integration for cFolders to exchange DMS documents. In the DMS system (or so-called back-end system), use transaction CFE02 to export DMS documents to cFolders and CFI01 to import documents from cFolders into DMS.
Please read the above documentations to see the system and installation requirements.
Besides creating a RFC destination in transaction sm59, you need to maintain the backend system using transaction CFC01 in the DMS system. At least one cFolders system must be defined in the customizing before backend integration can be used.
In order to allow the user to create new documents in cFolders, he/she needs write and create authorization in the relevant folder.

Silvia

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

SRM and DMS Content server Linkage

Hi Every one,
have any one worked in DMS and SRM integration please provide some details how to integrate DMS Content Server and SRM,
also SRM is also using a concept of C-folders and it is expected to link the documents stored in Content server to be retrived by C-Folder users
Please throw some light on this Integration
Thanks and regards
Kumar K

Hi,
You will require SAP SRM - cFolder component for SRM bidding engine. For the content server you will require 2 content servers one for DMS and second for cFolders in DMZ zone provided you are working in DMZ zone for cFolders and this component is not directly installed over SAP application server.
The cFolders content server is optional but recommended.

Solution Manager and DMS

Hi,
Am pretty confused between use of Solution Manager and DMS.Can they be used interchageably? What are the differences

Hi Gopal,
Presume DMS is something you are already familiar with. Hence wont go into the details.
The SAP Solution Manager, on the other hand, is a platform which provides integrated support of the life-cycle of a business solution, from the Business Blueprint via configuration to production operation. The SAP Solution Manager provides central access to tools, methods and preconfigured contents, which you can use during the evaluation and implementation, as well as in operation processing of your systems.
The SAP Solution Manager also provides an authoring function, with which you can create your own project templates, which you reuse in an implementation. The SAP Solution Manager is thus also a tool for SAP partners and companies performing a global rollout.
Hope this sets in the required clarity.

Teamcenter and DMS compatibility

Hi DMS Gurus,
We have a client who are right now using teamcenter software to only manage (mainly archive) there drawings and the drawings are stored in the Teamcenter central server.
now the client is implementing SAP with full fledged including SAP PLM Module.
the client expectation is to integrate the Teamcenter with SAP DMS
can any one throw some light how this can be done,
can the teamcenter server which stores the Drawings be also used as the DMS content server.
is there any way out to integrate teamcenter documents with DMS
to avail full funtionality of SAP DMS is it a prerequisite to store the Documents in the Content Server? then the documents which r now stored in teamcenter server should be also copied to Content server
or is there any way out to retrive Document from the teamcenter server without replicating the Documents again in to Content server.
or shall the client be advised to choose between either teamcenter or SAP DMS, as DMS provides more funtionality and fully integrated with SAP.
Please guide
Thanks in Advance
Kumar K

OK will check with Team Center,
think the existing server can be used as Vault to retrive the data from the server,
and again store them in to the same server through SAP DMS CV01N, so now the document is stored in secure area again in the same server.
any suggestion or replies are still welcome
even though i close this thread for time being.

CProjects DMS Integration

Hi,
I am working on cProjects and trying to understand integration with Easy DMS.
Can anyone explain the following :
2)What further ability does the integration offer in addition to the document management functionality in cProjects? I understand that the documents are stored in DMS as Document Inforecord with integration.
3) Can a user create document Info records in DMS from cProjects or does cProjects just allow the user to link to a record created in EDMS ?
4) And finally, could some one direct me to any documentation on cProjects and Easy DMS Integration, if any ?
Thanks,
Rajesh.
Thanks
Rajesh.

Hello, you can create Document Info record directly from cProjects. First step you need to define in the "Define Project type". You need to check the box for SAP DMS. Also inside cross application for DMS, go inside define document types and you have to include the object "DPR_OBJLINK" for the document type that you would be interested. Once inside cProjects, SAP DMS button would be visible and you may proceed creating Document Info record. It automatically creates in the backend SAP system. You can also load the documents inside that. In case you need more information please let me know your email address and I would send you the screen shots.
thanks

CFolders Windows Explorer integration via WebDAV

Hi Folks,
I am trying to use the cFolders windows explorer integration. The steps I have followed to set this up are as follows.
1. Transaction SICF - activated service default_host/sap/cpro
2. Transaction SICF - created an external alias "/cpr_webdav" with Trg Element set as "/default_host/sap/cpro"
3. Maintained the URL Part 1 field as "http://servername:8005/cpr_webdav" and cFolders active checked under the IMG Make settings for WebDAV interface.
4. Went into a collaboration and obtained the "WebDAV URL" for the collaboration "Supplier01Test". The generated URL was "http://servername:8005/cpr_webdav/cfx/cwn/Supplier01Folder~(col_100005)/"
5. Installed the SAP Netweaver Portal Drive and plugged this URL in there and it did not work. I also tried mapping a network drive from my network places.
Is there anything I have missed? I have gone through the SAP help and other discussion threads here, but could not make any progress. By the way, I am working with cFolders 4.5.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
Thanks for your reply. Please let me know where we need to maintain the correct client settings.
We followed as per the steps and maintained the URL in spro settings as
http://<hostname>:<port>/<sid>050-webdav
<sid>050-webdav - Ext. alias created with trg. element /sap/bc/cpro/
The below URL is not accepted during the mapping of network drive.
http://<hostname>:<port>/<sid>050-webdav/cfx/cwn/Folder~(fol_100002)/
Please help us to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards

External Documents and DMS

Hi All,
Scenario : Our Business requirement is that an external guy shall be uploading documents through SAP EP. which has to come and sit in DMS. Can anyone throw some light on this scenario and give me some best practices on how to about desigining this. Also One more question is can we push documents between KM and DMS.
Points would be rewarded!!
Krishna

Nitin,
Thanks for the Prompt reply. Do you have any documentation around this area that can give me some inputs as to how to go about this design. At this time we are planning to do it with a BAPI call which would create a DIR in the DMS area once the external guy uploads a document in the SAP EP. Also it would be good if you discuss the hassles in going with CFOLDERS and SAP DMS and uploading the documents from EP.
Points would be rewarded!!
