CR, Documents and Links, delete file from room

Dear collegues,
I'm using Collaboration Room template, which uses standard page "Documents and Links", extention "Documents".
My problem:
We can add files or folders to room, but we cannot delete them (even with admin role) in the same interface. The only way to delete them - use standard KM "repository explorer".
Version KMC-COLL 7.02 SP09
Can somebody help me to configure template, or choose another page to work with attachments.
Will be grateful for any help.
Regards,
Dmitriy.

Hello Dmitriy,
Are you using a SAP delivered template or one of your own? You could try using "SAP Team Room" as an example, you could create something similar if you wanted. There when you select Documents and Links there is an edit option which opens a new window to allow you to delete content. See the screenshot attached:
Kind regards,
Lorcan.

Solar_Eval "Documents and Links" Report

Hi everybody,
Maybe someone can help me with this issue.
I enter to the transaction Solar_Eval and then to the report "Document and Links". When i execute this report with the parameters that i define the column "Name(links)" is empty. someone knows what could be the reason??
Thanks
Regards to all,
Guido

Hi Guido,
Do you mean all other adjacent columns - e.g. Documentation Type, Person Responsible, Last Changed by, Status etc. - are visible with right values and only the second column, "Name" appears empty ?
If so, it's a bit puzzling - one thing that crossed my mind is - whether the documents were loaded in different language while you are viewing reports from a different language sign on. Not sure, if, even in that case, the name written in any other language is supposed to show up or not.
Please let us know if you were able to fix it.
Cheers,
Srini

RF Related Documents and Links?

Hi Friends,
We are implementing RF Fuctionality for our clients, we are shortage of enough meterials. Could you help me in sending the documents or links. If there is documents, Kindly forward it to [email protected] .

Hi
I think you will get the SAP Console preinstalled with the SAP GUI Installation you can find it in Control Panel with the name SAPConsole Administrator. This communicates with SAP using some Telnet server and there are lot of telnet servers available in the market.
Some Useful Information for SAP Console and Telnet Server:
SAP Console Framework which enables users to execute R/3 transactions from Character based device including RF devices.
SAP Console consists of following three main components
1. SAP Console Software / Interface component
2. SAP Console Administrator Defining properties of SAP console
3. SAP Console I/O Engine I/O engine through which SAP console and User interact
Installation of SAP Console is a part of SAP GUI installation
Telnet server installation on the same machine in which SAP console is installed.
Standard Telnet server are
1.Slnet From Seattle Labs
2.GS_Tnet from Georgia Soft works
But any Telnet Sever application can be used which supports VT220 emulation.
Telnet Client is the Interface which is used to execute transactions. Ex. RF device
2) It comes preloaded with SAP GUI so need not worry about installation.
3) Yeah Packing process is supported in RF and you can get the couple of transactions related to RF and they start with LM*
For the rest you have transaction codes available like for example LM74, LM47, etc or else best thing is you use LM00 which is the starting transation code for your RF related activities.
Or else search for LM* in TSTC table.
Most corporations who implement an ERP system are confronted with the issue of how to simplify and streamline the logistics process utilizing radio frequency (RF) technology. For SAP R/3® users in particular, this issue has always been addressed by selecting and implementing a 3rd party RF Middleware system. Since SAP did not offer any type of RF solution, this became the only choice. In the latter part of 1999, SAP quietly introduced a product named SAPConsole to finally address the issue of supporting character-based RF devices from SAP R/3. The question that now needs to be answered is, What is SAPConsole and will it work for my application.
This guide will clear up the mystery about SAPConsole and describe the benefits and limitations when evaluating an SAPConsole Approach to RF Data Collection.
For RF SAPConsole to work companies will need, along with the SAPConsole implementation, to also implement a WLAN network using the appropriate technology, frequency, compatibility and so on. The SAPConsole consultant should be able to provide advice on this.
History of SAP Console
Several years ago SAP partnered and subsequently purchased OFEK-tech, an Israeli company specializing in Warehouse Management and Control. As SAP OFEK-tech, one of the main objectives of this new partnership was to develop native support for radio frequency (RF) devices for the SAP R/3 Warehouse Management Module.
Parallel to the OFEK-tech effort, SAP initiated a new more comprehensive Warehouse Management systems strategy starting with R/3 version 4.5 known collectively as the Logistics Execution System (LES). LES integrates the applications of Warehouse Management, Shipping and Transportation, and can operate in an integrated mode similar to all the other modules (MM, PP, etc.) or as a stand-alone system (Decentralized WM).
These two initiatives finally came together starting with LES in version 4.6B. The new RF solution for LES offers several new Mobile Data Entry transactions specifically designed for RF users and the supporting operations. This whole suite of functionality including business transactions, configuration, and RF device support is sometimes mistakenly referred to as SAPConsole, since it was first released with version 4.6B. Technically, it is more correct to call this RF solution the SAPConsole Approach.

Basic questions on Collaboration Rooms,TREX and Federated portal

Hi All,
I have some basic doubts related to above topics.
1.In a particular collaboration room,Room admin role check box is disabled(greyed out),that means we can not add anybody as admin.other room roles like member and member admin are ok.How can I again make it enabled again?
2.In room administration under content admin->collaboration content->I can filter out the rooms available ,by giving appropriate filter search.But TREX is not installed with portal.Does this search uses TREX?
3.What is basic definition of federated portal?Is it something to do with the remote interaction of one portal with other?that means one portal iviews and other objects can be accessed through another portal.Is it True?
Thanks in Advance,points are guaranteed
Rani A

Hi,
1. This should only be the case if the user that looks at the room roles is not an administrator in the room. An administrator should be able to givte this role to other users
2. This search can wor with TREX but it is not necessary. Please have a look at this: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ff/1a9442062bcd6ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
3. Please read through this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/67/7e70424edcc553e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm. It will give some basic introduction to FPN. The re are differen scenarios how to use. In priniciple, a portal can be a producer or a consumer of content or both

Send some document and link to screen exit

anil

this will give u clear picture.
Screen Exit:
How to implement screen exit for a SAP standard transaction
Introduction
SAP provides standard transactions to enter data into database. But a client may want to maintain some additional information in SAP other than what is provided.
To make provisions for this, additional screens have to be provided and additional fields must be added into appropriate database table.
To pave way for this, SAP has provided the option for screen exits. Usually, SAP provides the following:
An append structure in the database table with the new fields.
A subscreen area into the standard screen where the programmer can attach his subscreen of his own program with the new fields.
A function group under which the new subscreen has to be created with the new fields.
Function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program with the PBO and PAI of the subscreen so that data can flow back and forth between the standard SAP program and the program written by the developer for the subscreen. These function modules also exist in the same function group under which the subscreen will have to be developed.
Finally, a linkage has to be done between the subscreen area of standard SAP screen with the custom subscreen constructed by the developer.
Typically, SAP provides an enhancement in which the developer can create an append structure, use the function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program and the custom subscreen program, and make the necessary linking( as mentioned above in step 4. But, again, this is not a hard and fast rule. Linking in some case, is also done by configurations.) SAP also usually provides the name of the function group under which the subscreen has to be developed.
Necessary guidance about implementing a screen exit development is usually available in the Documentation section of the enhancement ( can be availed by transaction SMOD).
Pre-Requisites
The developer to work on screen exit should have essential knowledge on the following:
DDIC concepts, including the knowledge of append structure.
Concept of SAP Enhancements and implementing them using Projects.
Concept of function exits.
Knowledge on Module Pool including subscreens, Tabstrip controls etc.
Steps
Guidelines
So, a developer can follow the guidelines mentioned below to implement a screen exit to a standard SAP transaction, as and when required:
Find out the Required Enhancements
Go to SMOD. Press F4 in the Enhancement field. In the next popup window, click pushbutton SAP Applications. A list will appear that contains information on all the enhancements, categorized under functional areas. Developer must search for the enhancements relevant to his functional area of interest for e.g., Purchasing, Asset Accounting, etc.
Note down the enhancements. Then, come to the initial screen of SMOD and view the documentation of each enhancement to find out which one is required for your development.
Utilize the Enhancement in a Project
After you have found one, do as directed in the documentation. Generally, the steps are as follows:
Create a project using CMOD including your enhancement.
Create the append structure with new fields.
Go to the desired function group and create a subscreen with the new fields. Write PBO and PAI for the subscreen, if required.
Use the function exits in the enhancement to link the PBO and PAI of the subscreen with that of the main SAP program supporting the SAP transaction.
Maintain necessary linkage between the subscreen area of standard SAP program with the custom subscreen developed along with the custom program name. This can be done in the project (developed by CMOD including the enhancement) or outside as a part of configuration.
Activate the project.
Test to ensure that required functionality are met.
Case Study 1
Add three new custom fields for Asset master and maintain information for them
Requirement
Three fields in the legacy system have to be maintained in Asset master. These fields are:
Original Asset number 20 characters
Location 2 15 Characters.
Model no 20 characters
Location 2 should start with L.
Pre-Analysis
Finding out the Enhancement
As described above, the enhancement is determined. It was found, that enhancement AIST0002 will serve the purpose. It contains the following components (can be viewed by transaction SMOD):
Exit Type Description EXIT_SAPL1022_001 Function Exit Check of User-Defined Fields when Using Create and Change BAPI EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 Function Exit Transfer Data for User Subscreens in PBO. EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 Function Exit Transfer of User-Defined Fields to SAP Master Data Transactions CI_ANLU Customizing Include Include structure to add new fields
Studying the Function Exits
The function module level documentation for the function exits are then viewed from transaction SE37. The documentation clearly laid out for the purpose for their use:
EXIT_SAPLAIST_002
Function module Level Documentation
This function module is called by asset master data maintenance at the start of the dialog. (When changing, it is called after reading of the data from the database; when creating it is called after the transfer of the default values from the asset class and reference asset.) The purpose of the function module is to enable this function group to recognize the master data. For interpreting or controlling master data fields that are important for user fields, it is possible to transfer to global variables at this point, so that they can be recognized when the user subscreens are processed.
Import Parameters
Understanding
This function module is called at the PBO to pass the information retrieved from the database to pass them to the custom subscreen and its underlying program. Import parameter : I_ANLU will be populated with the values for user-defined fields which will be passed to the subscreen program. So, there must be some sort of variable assignment from I_ANLU.
EXIT_SAPLAIST_003
Function module Documentation: This function module is called by SAP asset master data maintenance after the screens are processed, but before saving. The purpose of the function module is to transfer fields entered on user sub-screens of SAP asset data maintenance to the database for updating. The export parameter for this function module is:
Understanding
This function module will be used to transfer the user entered data in the subscreen fields to the main SAP program, which will then be saved into the database.
Studying the Documentation of the Enhancement
The enhancement documentation (as is viewed from the initial screen of SMOD] also supports the idea. Moreover, it informs that we need to develop a subscreen under function group XAIS. This is the function group under which the two function exit modules also exist. So, if the custom subscreen refers to the global data of the function group XAIS, then those values will also be available to these function exits as well.
Going to SE80 and viewing the function group XAIS helps us to inform that there are three DDIC tables declared for it:
Deciding the Final course of Action
After making all the investigations, the final course of action was determined.
SrlNo Step Justification
A project has to be created using transaction CMOD where the enhancement AIST0002 will be included.
Customizing include CI_ANLU has to be created with the custom fields demanded When CI_ANLU will be developed, the custom fields will get appended to the database table ANLU. Also, these fields will be used to create screen fields in the new subscreen.
A custom subscreen, say, 9000 will be developed under function group XAIS. The screen group for the screen will be CUST (or any name). The three custom fields added to table ANLU (by creating CI_ANLU) will be used to create new fields in the screen.
In the PAI of the subscreen, validation for Location to start with L will be added. The subscreen with three new fields has to be developed so that it can be attached to a subscreen area of the asset master screens.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002, the following code will be written:-
ANLU = I_ANLU. I_ANLU is the import parameter of this FM. The value is assigned to the global variable ANLU, referring which the three new subscreen fields are developed. So, data retrieved from database table ANLU will be passed to this FM as I_ANLU by the standard SAP main program. The value will be taken and passed to the global variable of the function group XAIS, so that the three custom fields (referring to ANLU of XAIS) get populated.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_003, the following code will be written:-
E_ANLU = ANLU. The changed values in the subscreen fields exist in global variable ANLU for the function group XAIS. This function exit module will pass the data back to the SAP main program as E_ANLU.
Proper linkage/configuration has to be done so that the new subscreens get linked to the appropriate subscreen area of the Asset master screen. This has to be done otherwise, the new custom subscreen will not be displayed in the Asset master screens.
Development
Creating a Project to include the enhancement
Go to transaction CMOD and create a project.
Enter a description for the project. Then, click on the pushbutton Enhancement Assignments in the Application Toolbar.
Enter the name of the enhancement and Save.
Go to Components.
Creating Custom Include for ANLU
The screen shown below will appear, showing all the enhancement components under the assignment AIST0002. Double-click on the name of the Include Structure to create it.
Create the include structure with three new fields, as required. Then, save and activate it.
Develop the subscreen and the program
Go to transaction SE80. For the function group XAIS, create a new subscreen 9000.
Create it as subscreen.
Then, go to the Layout of the screen and create three new fields from Database table ANLU.
Drag the fields in the screen body and place them.
Then, save and activate the screen and come back to screen flow editor.
Create the PAI module to add validation for field Location 2, as required .
Activate the whole function group and come out.
Write code in the Function Exits to synchronize the programs
Now, code has to be written in the function modules EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 and EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 so that data flows to and fro between the main SAP program and custom subscreen program. For that, go back to transaction CMOD and change the function exits.
Write code in the function module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 called once at the beginning of the transaction:
Write code in EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 to pass the data from the subscreen to SAP main program.
Then, activate everything the whole project and come out.
Complete the configuration to link the subscreen
The development portion is complete. Now, linking of the subscreen has to be done with the subscreen area of the main program. In most of the cases, this linking can be done in the enhancement itself. But, here, requirement is a bit different. It is done by configuration using SPRO.
Assets are created under Asset class. And for each asset class, there is a layout assigned to it. For a layout, there are multiple tab pages assigned to it. And, for each tab page, there are multiple screen groups/field groups assigned.
Here, the requirement is to create these three custom fields in the tab page General of asset master screen ( AS01/AS02/AS03/AS91).
Determine the Layout
To achieve this, first of all, we need to find out which layout is assigned to asset class 1000.For that, go to transaction AOLK( information has to be obtained from functional consultant).Select the Asset Class 1000 and click on folder General Assignment of Layout.
Here, for Asset class 1000, for all the user groups, tab layout SAP is assigned. Since layout SAP cannot be changed, it has to be copied and manipulated to include our screen group. Later, the new layout has to be assigned over here.
Create new tab layout
Go to transaction AOLA. Copy the tab layout SAP to create another layout, say, YSUB.
System will copy all the settings and will inform you about that.
Select your newly created layout and double-click on the folder Tab page titles.
You want to put your custom fields in the tab page General. So, select this tab page entry and double-click on the folder "Position of Groups".
Here, all the field groups currently residing in the tab-page General are shown. Add an entry for your newly created fields.
Select the group box from the list. An entry will come with U padded with the custom subscreen prepared by you.
Then, save and come out.
Assign the new Layout to Asset Class
Now, go to tcode AOLK and assign tab layout YSUB for asset class 1000.
Save and come out.
Test the Exit
Everything is over. Now, go to transaction code AS01/02/03 or AS91 to deal with an asset of asset class 1000. You will see your new fields added to the screen. Add values to themsave. Then, enter into the tcodes again to see whether the values entered by you are being displayed or not.

User Exits:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
To find a Exit.
Goto Transaction -- Find The Package
SMOD >f4>Use the Package here to Find the Exits In the Package.
Else if you Want to search by Application Area wise ,
There is one more tab to find the Exits in the Respective Application Area.
Implementing the Exit-- CMOD Create ProjectsAssgn your Component .
Now Run ur Transaction to Check if it Triggers.
Thats it..
Suppose you need to find out all the user exits related to a tcode.
1. Execute the Tcode.
2. Open the SAP program.
3. Get the Development Class.
4. Execute Tcode SE84.
5. Open the Node 'Envir. -> Exit Techniques -> 'Customer Exits -> Enhancements'
6. Enter the Development class and execute.
Check out this thread..
The specified item was not found.
1. Type the transaction : system->status-> <PROG. NAME>
2 open SE37 , type EXIT<PROG NAME> and press F4 to get the list of function exits available.
3. Open CMOD utilities->SAP enhancements
EDIT->All selections
4.type the function module name obtained in step 2, in fields 'component name' in 'additional selections' block. and execute.
5. The displayed list contains the enhancements names for the transaction You were looking for.
6. Create a project in CMOD and the code in default include->activate.

Documents cannot be displayed in the Collaboration room

Hi,
We have a Collaboration with Documents and links.The document is displayed fine when I click on a document,then if I close it and goto someother link in the room and comeback and open the same document, it is not displayed.This is being repeated for documents being opened for the second time.
If I open some other document it's opening fine.
If I clear the browser cache, then I am able to view without any error.
Is there a soln.for this?.
Thanks,

If this happens just for MS Office documents, you will need to apply all applicable Microsoft upgrades (Windows (XPSP2???), IE, Office).

Null links in collaboration room

Hello,
I created a collaboration room with the following room parts:
Project Home
Documents and Links

of these, Admin:Room and Admin:Members and Room Relations are assigned only to Admin members.
When I create a rrom using this template and enter as Admin, everything is fine. The problem is: whenever I am login with Members role, I am getting 2 null links in place of Admin: Room and Admin: Members and Room Relations.
I have tried following https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196685 but without any success. I already have these 2 pages permission set for everyone as Read (End user checked).
I am on EP 7.0 SP16.

Closing for other questions. Had to create new room template for this resolution.

Collaboration Room Deep Linking

Wonder if anyone has looked at this before ?
I know you can deep link direct to a collaboration room using a URL such as:
http://xyz.com/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=CollaborationConnector://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/7068630d-c3dd-2e10-89ba-c179eadcef5a/workset/
Does anyone know if its possible to drill down further than this whilst at the same time maintaining the portal context .... so down into a folder structure under Documents and Links for example.
I dont want just a KM URL for the document - which is what happens if you do a "Send To" command on an item.
Thanks in advance.
Haydn

If anyone run into this poblem, I just figured out half the problem. The javascript file (history.js in the history directory) only checks for url with (http://), so if you are testing and in your browser you have file://loc_of_html_file, then it will not work.
On the other hand, my next problem is still unresolved:
Flex Builder 3 is not generating the HTML wrapper when using deep linking AND with the Flex 4 SDK.

Maximum number of pages and links in an InDesign Document

We have an InDesign document that is 79 pages, and contains about 700 image links and 700 text links. The links in total are about 7GB (most text documents are 2-6K; images could be anywhere from 1 to 50MB). the InDesign document is 220MB.
If we house the package of the InDesign Document and the links on a local machine, it takes our machine about 2 minutes to load the file for editing. If the packaged is housed on a NAS drive (BUFFALO TERASTATION using Gigabit), it takes 16 minutes to load.
I'm wondering if there is a set of "best practices" that suggests a limit to the size of the package, and if you exceed that limit, you should expect poor performance? (Like should we limit our documents to 10 pages and 1GB of links?)
Are we asking for trouble by having documents and links this large? or is there some network or settings or performance issues on our network and on our MACs that I should be looking at first?
Thanks for any comments or assistance.

To answer in a simpler way:
Page number limit per document: 9999 pages
Link limit: your computer configuration (processor, ram, etc) determines it.
Remember, if u run very large documents, you need to upgrade your configuration accordly. If you not have enough available resources to run a job fast, its clear the computer/network needs an upgrade. There are models of HP computers that can reach 128gb of ram memory, and they are not server, they are workstations.
the other way is to avoid extra image data on links (large images in size, far from the output size) and work with the exact size you need, because this extra size can be the cause of the extra processing time.
"We "strive" to do the editing in PS, but often we have a PS file that we want to keep at 4x4 (for future or other purposes), but will place it in InDesign as 2x2 -- so we edit it in InDesign. Should we be creating a new 2x2 file for this one-time purpose?"
Thats the idea, (extra size = extra processing = extra time) X number of you images.

Approval-process for publishing documents in Collaboration-Room

Hi @ all,
is it possible to use a approval-process for publishing documents form the private document store of a collaboration room to the public one? I it is, how I have to do it, I have no idea?!?
Or is there a way to give specific users the right to publish a document.
Thanks for your response!
Best regards
Kai

Kai -
I'm not sure about publishing from private to public. However, you can set-up folders in the Collaboration rooms to enable State Management. To do this, you'll need to use a system principal to alter the permissions on the specific Collaboration room document folder.
