Confuguration of DMS using an external content server and KPRO

Hello all,
I am working in a new EH&S SAP environnement.
The aim is to configure a DMS to link EH&S with an external content server Documentum using Kpro.
I have done the following IMG activities:
- Specify Content Servers (Tcode: OAC0)
- Maintain Categories (Tcode: OACT)
- Specify links
- Specify Data Carriers
- Define document types
- Assign EH&S Document Types to Data Carriers
But i am facing to the following problems:
- CG36VEN: error: "could not create report for specification XX, variant XX and lang. EN.
- CG34: error: cannot display document MSDS
- CG4B: error: cannot display document TEST
Are there other actions to be done in the IMG activities?
Any idea to help me please?

More details:
I am working in a new EH&S SAP environnement.

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

Moving documents stored in NW04 internal DMS to external content server ...

Hi all !
is it possible to move documents, stored in NW04s databse (DMS) to an external content server;
we want to swap all documents to an content server;
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.

Use of a content server to store attachments in SRM

Hi all,
We already have an SRM system in production storing many large attachments on table BBPCONT.
We are facing huge performance problems because:
       a) SRM holds the whole file content in memory during document upload.
       b) During the process of saving the document, SRM creates one record in VBDATA table for each row that will be stored in BBPCONT. For large files, this process of inserting data at VBDATA takes a very long runtime.
I have two questions:
   1) Anyone already handled this situation ?
   2) We are thinking about using an external content server to store attachments. My concern is related to the attachments already stored at BBPCONT. Will these documents be available to the user or it is necessary to build conversion programs to move attachments from BBPCONT to the external server ?
Best Regards,
Roberto

Hello Roberto,
1) Yes, but we anticipated this performance issue by switching to an external Content Server. I also remember one performance issue: when you are uploading an attachement in your session, the system will store it in a temporary table BBP_TRANSCONTENT (the content is not stored in memory). It will be definitively stored in BBPCONT only if the user saves the purchasing document (otherwise we pollute the final table).
2) You have to "migrate" old documents from BBPCONT to the new Content Repository (ex:Content Server). There is a report for that : RSIRPIRL.

Using a single Content server for DMS and also for Archive link documents

Hi,
We have Planned for a single content server for managing the documents in DMS, parallelly as DMS Standard SAP objects are not available for all SAP transactions, i have proposed for making use of SAP Archivelink funtionality to maintain the documentations where Std SAP DMS does not provide a Solution.
so here the question is
can a single content server be used as a content repository for Both DMS and archivelink,
can any one having done this pls state if it is possible to create different or Many Content repositories for DMS, Archive link in the same server,
is this a virtual creation or can we assign each repository a specific storage space which it should not exceed.
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Hi sathish,
-- Through the ArchiveLink docuemnt Management interface, an SAP sytem can use various content servers as storage media. similarly, one contnent server can be used by multiple SAP systems.
-- A Content server always has a single database assigned to it. A database can therefore be used by only one content server.
-- A databse is split into as many repositories as necessary. The design of the repository is mapped in the SAP system.A repository contains documents.
Depending on your requirements,(if u have limited documents or with low requirements) you can use the same content server for both DMS and Archivelink.
The number of documents stored on the content server is limited only by the size of the database.
Its better to have an external content server for archiving purpose, if your database size is increasing. Since the archiving systems storage is not dependent on the database.
U can also refer to the below thread :
How to Archive SAP DMS Data?
hope this helps....

Attach doc from external content server- using Generic Object Service (GOS)

Dear All,
i have intergrated an external content server to SAP using SAP archive link. All the scanned document are there in Content server and corresponding entries are done in SAP.I can search and view document using tcode : OAAD
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
sandeep

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.
-Thanks,
Ajay

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)

Linking a CRM case to a document in an external Content server - CRM 6.0

Hi,
We are creating a case from a scanned document, the document is stored in a separate content server. Now we need to link the created case to the scanned document in the content server. We need to be able to access the document/image from within the create case using WebClient
Kind Regards

Pradeep,
Yes my users are over a 10 state area geographically, with u201Cpotentialu201D handheld access to the documents that would be attached to functional locations and equipments using the CV0*N access. They would have no need to u201Ccheckout/checkinu201D documents in the field, but would need view access or print access from their field device via a work order wrote against the equipment or F.L. to which the documents would be attached. I envision a separate small group of users that would actually u201Cmanageu201D the documents themselves such as u201Ccheck out/update/check back inu201D to the separate server location where the file(s) are located.
I understand in principle (I think) the DMS storage, but again, if I select u201Ckprou201D (currently unselected for my document type) you make the following comments: u201C2. 'kPro Storage' option (may store in SAP DB,HTTP Content Server), herein you can store 'n' originals/documents and 'n' additional files, AND
HTTP content server You may either use the SAP Content Server or an external/third-party content server.Typically, content server is opted for when operating in a distributed environment(users accessing from several locations)/index based search is needed/n:n mapping scenario exists.
Logical repository
This storage type allows access to different physical repositories, independently of the client and the system ID.u201D
So based on these comments, are you saying I should select u201CKprou201D for my particular document type and that I should define the external server as either an u201CHTTP content serveru201D or either a u201Clogical repositoryu201D? If yes, then as I commented in my 1st ask, please advise how u201CI should use for "Maintaining the Storage System" since based on the selection of "Storage Type" whether HTTP content server or Structure Storage System, or Logical repository decides how the rest of your screen looks for further selection.u201D Thanks in advance.

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
sandeep sharma

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

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.

Hi all,
I installed the Content Server with DB instance. ECC on AIX and the Content Server on Windows are on different domains and wanted to integrate. After the installation what I did is as follows...
I am trying to create the Content Repository using the Tx- OAC0, given the the following details as

Document Area - DMS
Storage Type -- HTTP Content Server
Version -0046
HTTP Server --- fully qualified host name of the Content Server
Port Number --- 1090
HTTP Script --- ContentServer\ContentServer.dll
Physical Basic Path--- (initially) -
/usr/sap/<ECCSID>/SYS/global/
(modified) --- E:\ContentServer\ -
not available, thought it will create, even created later
Physical archive path --- SAME as Physical Basic Path
When I check the connection, I am getting an error "Content repository DMS_xxxx does not exists.
When I check Tx- CSADMIN-- it gives an error saying the "HTTP error : 4010 (authorized) ' Permission denied: adminContRep&configSet"
I am not sure what user should i use for this and what should be the information of ContentStorageHost, ContentStorageName and Storage need to be provided.

Use of external LDAP server in Weblogic Commerce Server

I'm using the following software:
Iplanet Directory Server v5
Weblogic Application Server v6
Weblogic Commerce v3.5
I need to configure Weblogic Commerce Server to use Iplanet Directory Server directory
services. How do I do that?
I have a couple of questions related to this:
1) As Weblogic Commerce Server runs on top of Weblogic v6, does it mean that to
use an external LDAP server, I need to configure weblogic v6 to do that and not
Weblogic Commerce Server?
2) Whatever may be the case above, how do I do that?
3) config.xml (weblogic application server v6) contains information that needs
to be modified to point to an external JNDI source provider but what information
do I need to modify?
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out here. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm looking for someone who has used the Lotus LDAP server for WLP7
authentication.
I connect my portal to the Domino LDAP, User and Groups are working
fine, but the membership of a user to a group is not.
I assume that it's related to the parameters I use (especially the
membership.filter ?):
"user.filter=(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=person));
user.dn=O=Apac;
membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupOfNames));
group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupOfNames));
server.host=jpgal01.apac.bea.com;
group.dn="
Any help would be appreciate, because I just don't where to look for.
Try setting the com.netscape.ldap.trace property.
\* When -D command line option is used, defining the property with
* no value will send the trace output to the standard error. If the
* value is defined, it is assumed to be the name of an output file.
* If the file name is prefixed with a '+' character, the file is
* opened in append mode.
This will create a ldap trace file of the requests that WLS is making on the
LDAP server. You can then see
where the filters are not returning the correct value for the group
membership.
