Configuring ArchiveLink

We are running ECC 5.0, and I am trying to configure ArchiveLink so we can use it to store scanned accounting documents on a third-party server, and link the scanned documents to SAP FI documentsI.
Can anyone provide the config steps required for this to work? I have read several PDF documents that I downloaded from the Internet, and followed the steps, but I have not been able to get the system to work.
Thank you,
Hakiza

hi.
i think i understand - if you write third-party-server you really mean that? This is not a server with an installed archiving solution like filenet, commonstore or sap content server.
do you want to access the files on systemlevel?
For archive link communication there are several ways to communicate with the external archive. normally rfc or http is used. for using http you have to enter a server, a port and a script who handles the requests. On the other hand you can store your documents in the sap database (OAC0 / storage type). i think that is not a good idea.
in every case you need to link the (external) documents to the sap documents. e.g. commonstore has an archiving client, filenet scans directly into a filenet repository...
do you have a content server? maybe you should setup one - sap content server sounds good, but i don't know anything about that. we do not use it (filenet, commonstore).

martin

  • ArchiveLink configuration

    Hi all,
      does anybody know how to set-up ArchiveLink to work with the SAP Content Server in a 4.6 environment?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Stefano,
    if you want to know all the details there is a useful SAP teaching course for ArchiveLink. The SAP standard docu is located under Basis -> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink on http://help.sap.com. The link  is:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/de/e9/81d15d449611d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    Perhaps some hints for the beginning:
    I suppose that you already configured a content repository in your SAP content server.
    In order to connect your content server to the SAP system you have to customize a content repository in OAC0.
    Here, you basically need the IP address the port number of your content server.
    ContentRep: <name of your content repository>
    DocumentArea: ArchiveLink
    StorageType: HTTP content server
    PROTOCOL: nothing
    Version no: 0046
    HTTP server: <your IP address>
    PortNumber: <your port>
    HTTP script: /ContentServer/ContentServer.dll (if CS is installed on Windows)
    Transfer drct: only needed for print lists (must be a directory on SAP application server)
    OutputDevice: ARCH (for example)
    No signature: <clicked>
    Now, perform a connection test. This should work now.
    Now, you can go on with the documentation and you can configure ArchiveLink scenarios.
    Best regards

  • Use of ArchiveLink for Employee Photos - Performance

    All,
    We are currently using a simple web repository to surface employee photos in SAP and non-sap content. We're thinking about switching to ArchiveLink. We've configured ArchiveLink based employee photos in our sandbox environment and have an idea how that works. On one hand we'd like to pursue a standard SAP based solution for photos but are concerned that performance could suffer as the biggest consumer of our employee photos is SharePoint and SharePoint Search, sometimes serving up 25-100 photos per page. Does anyone have any experience with performance issues with employee photos in ArchiveLink?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi.
    The volume will be a challenge, if 0BPARTNER is the ONLY restriction in the query, but is that the case?
    An alternative is to grant access based on either a custom grouping of 0BPARTNER into few categories or a grouping into fxTerritory, like you mention. You can do this in a separate cube for users who will have access to large numbers of business partners anyways, and use just 0BPARTNER in another cube for users who will have few business partners. If your users can not be split like that, fx because you also have users with not really many, but more than a few, etc,  maybe you can use cubes partitioned by Territory or something else, for users who DONT have many business parterns. Like that, you reduce the "threat" from the volume

  • ArchiveLink - MRKO - Consignment and Pipeline Settlement

    Hi All,
    how can I configure ArchiveLink to be able to insert bar code when I settle an invoice? I'm refering to transaction OAC5. Is it possible or is it a background process when MRKO creates the FI document?
    Many thanks.
    Luca

    Hi,
    Go to SPRO - Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Message Determination -- Maintain Conditions. Then choose Create condition: Invoice verification.
    Enter output type: KONS (Consignment)then click on key combination or just click enter.
    select company code...then create condition record by entering your company code, function - VN, medium, date/time and language. Then select the record and click on communication method and maintain the required entries like output device and save the condition record.
    Then go to Tcode: MRKO and execute.
    Hope this is clear and helps.

  • Content Server - Print Attached PDF

    Dear experts,
    we have the following requirement -
    print (preferrably in batch mode) the attached PDF documents from DMS.
    The documents are located at the content server.
    To reduce the network load
    the documents should be accessed directly from the content server,
    because the Content Server is located in the same building,
    and the SAP system is located at the remote location.
    Could you please provide some hints how to fulfill this requirement?
    Is it possible to print PDF document directly from Content Server?
    Is it possible to do it in the batch mode?
    Thanks a lot for your responses,
    Andrey.

    hi,
    method-1, configuring Archivelink for printing doc from CS directly,
    see url

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/5e/566039b85f9443e10000000a114084/frameset.htm,
    There are two methods for storing print lists.
    a.storage request is issued before the report program is executed.
    This storage variant enables you to integrate index information and hyperlinks into the print list.
    1.In the menu bar, choose System ->Services-> Reporting.
    2.Enter the name of the report program and choose .
    3. The selection screen for the report is displayed.
    In the menu bar, choose
    Program ->Execute and Print
    A dialog box is displayed.
    4.Enter the required data, then choose Attributes.
    A dialog box is displayed.
    5.Choose the Overview tab page, expand the Spool Control node, and double-click Storage Mode.
    A new window appears.
    if you set the flag Display this Field on Initial Screen, the window is displayed on the initial screen when you next call the function. This will avoid having to carry out step 5 in the future.
    6.Use the input help to choose Store Only or Print and Store.
    This opens an input template.
    7.Enter the ArchiveLink parameters and choose .
    A dialog box is displayed.
    Choose .
    The screen output of the report is displayed.
    The spool creates a main file and a description file, and sends the storage request to ArchiveLink.
    b) The storage request is issued after the report program is executed.
    This storage variant does not allow you to integrate hyperlinks and index information into the print list.
    1.In the menu bar, choose System ->Services-> Reporting.
    2.Enter the name of the report program and choose .
    The selection screen for the report is displayed.
    3.Choose .
    The screen output of the report is displayed.
    4.In the menu bar, choose System-> List ->Print.
    A dialog box is displayed.
    5.Continue as in variant a) from step four.

  • Employee Photo Options?

    All,
    We are currently using a simple web repository to surface employee photos in SAP and non-sap content. We've configured ArchiveLink based employee photos in our sandbox environment and have an idea how that works. On one hand we'd like to pursue a standard SAP based solution for photos but are concerned that performance could suffer as the biggest consumer of our employee photos is SharePoint and SharePoint Search, sometimes serving up 25-100 photos per page. Does anyone have any experience with performance issues with employee photos in ArchiveLink? The archive.dll will prevent browser caching being a benefit. Any experiences in this area?
    Also, what other options have been explored? Is anyone aware of any non-ArchiveLink based architectures that would be SAP supported, (work with sap content out of the box, but be performance friendly for O-SAP apps)? Anyone have experiences with employee photo architectures with Active Directory based photos or web repository, again that would be SAP supported and work with SAP content out of the box?
    Any insights, links would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Two SAP "ways" that are supported with standard services (like Who's Who from ESS)...
    1. ArchiveLink (as you are well aware)
    2. Make use of KM from the portal (since KM is basically a content server plus much more)...(*there is a portal equivalent to Who's Who that you can find info on)
    #2 makes it much better from a performance standpoint. Also, SharePoint should be able to utilize the same repository.

  • Object Services - What are the space restrictions?

    Hi experts -
    Our finance team wants to start saving documents in Object Services.  Can you tell me the space restrictions, if any? 
    Many thanks!
    Mark

    Hi Mark
    If they are using Create Attachment as a storage area, I would strongly suggest they look at configuring ArchiveLink (it should be a greyed out area called Store Business Document in object services) so they can store securely. The GOS create attachment option is not recognised as a secure document storage area and its just designed for adhoc working documents. Its also an area that can be deleted by basis as part of the system cleanup if they run a specific transaction.
    They are no hardcoded limitations, but in our experience, the limitations kick in with individual files sizes in excess of 100MB however this will be dependent on the SAP architecture, bandwidth as its largely to do with the file size being so large that the file times out before it can be completed copied to the server.

  • Regarding Digital Personal file

    HI Gurus,
    On our ECC 6 on EhP3 and NetWeaver 7.0 running portal, we're trying to configure part of the Business Package for HR administrator (the one in EhP1 that uses WD for ABAP). We want to start by using DPF for storage of employees Certificates, Contracts etc. We're not using Adobe Interactive Forms yet, but that may follow in the future.
    I've read that one can configure DPF for archived documents, but what little information I could glean from help.sap.com haven't helped me with the practical usage.
    I've done configuring in the IMG for DPF, transaction SICF and in NetWeaver for the HR Administrator role to use the demo-DPF (for a demo only, ofcorse), but when I try to use the asr_personnel_file application (Edit Personnel File) from the HR Administrator portal role, I always get an error saying that the employee doesn't have a personnel file.
    Does anyone know how I can create a personnel file for an employee? are there elements I've forgotten? do I for example need to configure ArchiveLink or something?
    Cheers,
    Rahul

    Hi,
    Maybe the solution will help somone.
    After configuring DPF in IMG, you have to:
    1. Generate DPF using transaction PASR_DPF_CREATE - it creates the record for documents.
    2. Now you can access the employee DPF either from the system (tcode ORGANIZER or directly HRASR_CALL_TX_PDPF ) or from the portal.
    Best regards,

  • IXOS and FB01

    Hello,
    I'm receiving a payments list from the Bank per E-Mail with all the payment pictures. Now I should implement a tool to 1) save the picture on a IXOS DMS and 2) create a connection between the FI-document (FB01) and a the IXOS-document.
    How could I save the picture on the IXOS server, with which function module?
    Should I build the connection between the two document after the FB01 or in the batch Input?
    Any hint will be welcome!
    Thanks.
    Regards

    Hi Tommaso,
    I think you need to configure ArchiveLink to store incoming documents, images, etc. I think IXOS Archiving do the same.

  • ArchiveLink Viewer Configuration

    We'd like to configure an SAP 4.7B system to be able to support the viewing of PDF (OTF data) and TIFF files.
    Previously we've been using the AlViewer.
    Invoices with multiple pages had been archived as multi-page/multi-file documents.  We want to change the archival to store single TIFF files with multiple pages.
    To make this change,  we've changed settings in OAA3 to use SAP internal viewer.  No communication method is selected. After doing that PDF and single page TIFF documents stored via ArchiveLink viewed OK, but when we attempt to view a document archived as multi-page, it fails -- error 733.  The file it is failing on is a multi-page TIFF file.
    Our guess is that in this configuration within OAA3 the CGDT RFC call is being specified which is for single page data.  Not sure if that is the case, or how we can tell.  But if it is, maybe we somehow need to change the SAP call from CGDT to CGDS or maybe the CGDA??  How could this be configured within OAA3 (or elsewhere)?

    Hi Dick,
    just two remarks:
    1. I guess you work with an archive system being SAP certified. So, I would recommend to use the ArchiveLink 4.5 HTTP Interface for the access to the archive system. If you do so you can use the ArchiveLink viewer that supports PDF (via HTML control) and also TIFF via ECL control.
    2. I'm currently not sure if you can use the SAP ArchiveLink viewer with an RFC archive system. Just switch off the protocol for the content repository for a moment (OAC0) and check it out. Also, you can make further viewer customizing in transaction OAG1.
    Best regards
    Torsten

  • ArchiveLink with SAP HTTP Content Server configuration using SAPdb  MaxDB

    We have configured SAP 4.7 to use ArchiveLink to store outgoing PO’s.   The PO’s are in PDF format and are to be stored on an SAP HTTP content server using MaxDB.    We believe everything is setup but when we go to retrieve a stored file, using and HTTP link we do not see the document.   Here is  a sample HTTP link:
    http://company-sap20.company200-sap.com:1090//ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=ZT&docId=47E9C60A28145211E10000000A0126F3
    Can anybody give me a few pointers?
    What table in the MaxDB shall I look at?  Where is the docID being passed to?

    I'm sorry to say that I don't know.
    AFAIK, the report gets documents from the document store. The Contentserver itself runs embedded in the Web-Server.
    Besides the trial to write a trace file with the Contentserver (see Contentserver.ini somewhere on your Web-Server) I strongly recommend to open a customer message.
