Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

Hello all,
how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
Kindest regards from Germany,
Markus

Markus,
Welcome to the forum!
I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.

Show originally filename in attachment list (generic object services)

Hello everybody,
does anybody know, if it is possible to show the originally filename of a document in the attachment list of generic object services?
If I add more than one document for the same document type in generic object services, I'm not able to distinguish the documents.
When I want to save an attachment to local PC, SAP offers me the originally filename as default. Therefore, the filename has to be saved somewhere...
Thanks for any help or ideas in advance,
Peter

Richard,
Your using the wrong object, I don't have access to an SAP system right now, so I can't tell you what the correct object is, but when it's configured correctly in OAC3 it will not be grey out. Best thing to do it see what the object the program is publishing. This is what GOS is looking for. IFARCH21 is not the answer, unless your using workflow

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.

Attach Documents to Custom Program Using Generic Object Services

Hi There,
         I created Object type ZGOS and used in the custom program, when i try to attach documents it allows and then shows in attachment list.
        But When I use that program next time that document attached is not available.
Is there any separate save Class or FM available for saving the document to the specified custom program.
I am using following code in the program,
CLEAR obj.
SET OBJECT TYPE TO 'ZGOS'
obj-objtype = objtype.
SET OBJECT KEY = REPORT NAME
SELECT SINGLE name
FROM trdir
INTO obj-objkey
WHERE name = sy-repid.
CALL GOS MANAGER WITHOUT CONTAINER (WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE TOOLBAR)
CREATE OBJECT manager
    EXPORTING
      is_object = obj
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS    = 1.
Thanks in advance.

Attach Documents using Generic Object Services

With reference to Manual Bassani's SDN Contribution of code examples on how to attach documents using Generic Object Services - we have found that since implementing ECC 6 the following code no longer works (at the end of page 9):
CALL CREATE ATTACHMENT SERVICE FROM TOOLBAR
WHEN 'ATTACH'.
CALL METHOD MANAGER->START_SERVICE_DIRECT
EXPORTING
IP_SERVICE = 'CREATE_ATTA'
IS_OBJECT = OBJ
EXCEPTIONS
NO_OBJECT = 1
OBJECT_INVALID = 2
EXECUTION_FAILED = 3
OTHERS = 4.
It is necessary to use IP_SERVICE = 'PCATTA_CREA' to get this to function correctly.

GOS: Generic Object Services (BC-SRV-GBT)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to implement GOS for our Netting document - object type OIA_BUS001, we need to link a url to our document. And I managed to get the toolbox to appear besides the gui title, using both the FM SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH and the OO codes that was provided in the SAP help.
But the results is not quite right - in both cases, when I click on the toolbox -> create, all the functions listed, 'Create attachement, 'create note', etc, are greyed out.
Is there something that I'm missing here?
That's not the least of my problems. When (being optimistic here) this ok, I need to find a way on how to update the url in the background....
Appreciate if anybody have some pointers here.
Regards,
Nik

Generic Object Services (GOS) + ArchiveLink against IXOS.

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a project where I'm supposed to extend the Generic Object Services (GOS) Icon with a menu item for storing documents down to IXOS through ArchiveLink, and a functionality for retrieving them / attaching them to an email.
So far, I concluded that I need to create a class, whose superclass is CL_GOS_SERVICE, and at least override the EXECUTE() method with some functionality.
The ARCHIVOBJECT function group contains some (probably)
useful function modules - like ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES / ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE.
My problem so far is that I don't see the "connection",
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE takes ARCHIV_ID, DOCUMENT_TYPE
and PATH as arguments (parameters), and returns ARCHIV_DOC_ID - an unique ID to the stored document
But how is the link between the archived document and the business object (i.e. the current object of the transaction I'm in) maintained?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Lars Wilhelmsen

Hi again,
Thanks for the answers, they were very helpful,
but the customer isn't happy with the "Store business Documents" and it's Drag n' drop interface.
I'm to develop a new GOS menu item, that will show
a normal Open File dialog, and a following popup
where the user can change the document title shown
in the Attachment list.
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE
along with ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT should probably
cover the functionality I need.
I know both the BOR type ID and the object ID is
available to me in the Execute() method of the GOS menu handler I'm overriding, but for the ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, I'm supposed to supply an AR_OBJECT parameter (I know that this information is stored in the TOAOM table), but I have no clue where to get this information for the current object I'm trying to add an attachment for.
Regards,
Lars Wilhelmsen

Indicator for Generic Object Services

We are planning to use the Generic Object Services functionality to
attach Word, Excel or PDF files to existing documents in SAP. Our plan
is to use this in Accounts Receivable. The issue we have is when we
are looking at the open items for a customer using transaction FBL5N
there is no way to know which open item has attachments. Once you've selected an open item, you can view any attachments but this does not help. I posted an OSS notes and they replied "We regret to inform you that the function you require is not included inthe SAP standard system." Does anyone know how I pursue this to have SAP develop this functionality?
Thank You,
Sue Rademacher

While this is probably answered best in the ABAP forum, by doing a search on Generic Object Services in all forum categories, I found a number of answers about enhancements with this functionality. Re: How to link proces modeling to execution of services are found in this forum thread.

You haven't explained what object and object key you're using, nor have you provided any indication of how you implemented the GOS attachment functionality. You need to provide more information to resolve an issue like this.

Adding Generic Object Services attachments to PRA trans O3U_DO3

I would like to add the generic object services attachment menu that is found in vf02 - invoice create to the production and revenue accounting module transaction O3U_DO2/O3U_DO3 Maintain/Display DOI Owners. I need the ability to attach external documents through archive link to this transaction. If not possible with generic object services, any other suggestions on how to attach the documents is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to the SDN Forums!!!
You need to supply the PC file extension in the container element 'DOCUMENTTYPE'.
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' p_msgtyp.
In your case change the above statement as below:
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' 'pdf'.
<b>OR</b> change the default value of p_msgtyp to 'PDF'.

Events available in Generic Object Services (GOS)?

Hello everybody
Searched around in SDN and also tried to find something useful in our system (SWO1) but can't find useful information on GOS events so I guess it probably doesn't exist?
I'm searching a way to catch GOS events when someone adds, changes or deletes an attachment (URL) in the generic object services of an object, e.g. for a material master (BUS1001006). I'd like to create a change document for this and based on that to trigger some further processing for one of our interfaces.
Anybody out there knowing how to achieve this?
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

There's a couple of BaDIs with GOS names such as GOS_SRV_REQUEST that might help. Otherwise I'd try using SE30 with lots of logging options set on to trace where you may be able to grab this info from. GOS subscriptions may be another thing to look at.

Generic Object Services for a standard transaction code

Hi,
We have a requirement where we are depreciating the assets (standard transaction ABAA) using a custom BDC program. We need to maintain a history (called audit trail) for the particular asset that has been depreciated using this program. For this audit trail we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.
Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that handles the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. How to show this workflow details using Generic Object Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.
Please let me know should you require more information on this topic.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hello Ashish,
i dont think activating of GOS will solve ur probs..... GOS wont create a WF item ...... try to get some kind of GOS before u do anything in SAP systems.
u can do like this ......
1 create custom screen where u can enter asset details and store in custom tables....and generate one custom doc.number to track.
2. trigger WF when user submits it for approvals.
3.Upon final approvals.--->run BDC to do postings......
4.Give a Option to attach documents to the parking documents. ( that GOS ).
