Content Repository vs Archive Link

We are using a third party content repository to store SRM attachments. We configured this through OACT OAC0 transactions. We are able to send attachments and retrieve from this content management system fine.
However, when the Content Repository is down for maintenance, if attachments are made in SRM, they are getting lost. Is there a way to queue up the failed attachments and reprocess?
Thanks,
SG

Hello,
You can achieve it with small alteration in your current program.
In transaction OAC0 you will be mentioning Physical & basic path.... This basic path will help in staging the attachment till your archive server is up-running.
It is not advisable to do any changes with current functionality of storing attachment but instead you can do all the maintanence activities at archive server (content repository) during off peak hours or weekends. Any activities at archive server will not take much time so you can plan to have it during off peak hours or weekends.
Hope your question is answered.
-Thanks,
Ajay

  • Cannot find the content repository ID in link table

    Gurus:
    I have a content repository ID  AA and AA's link table is TOA01 defined in OAC3.

    Is this a problem?

    since there are no linked documents via Archive-Link, there will not be an entry in TOA01.Link a document to a business object (via GOS, or..) and there will be an etry referring to your CR.

    Hi,
    Which storage device are you using? I can only speculate the problem. Ok. So output type is configured properly. Can you check the object type for your document type in Transaction code OAC3. Check it should be VBRK. If it is not then change it to VBRK. Now go to transcation code OAD5 and check every thing is configured there or not. If it is all done then it should work. I presume that all basic customization is done in your system.

  • Content Server / Content Repository / Archive Link and co.

    Hi,
    i have installed a content server on an external Windows 2003 Server Plattform using MAXDB. The Server is now running and working properly. The test of the content repositories were positive too. Now im a bit confused about all the actions which are required to make a content rep known to SAP System via Archive Link. Is it correct to start the content server service in the SCIF transaction? Do i need to perform the Archive Link Workflow and Costumizing wizard. Which tables have to be altered?
    I would  be very greatful if anyone could tell me the steps which need to be done in order to succeed.
    Thanks in advance Christian

    Hi,
    Is it correct to start the content server service in the SCIF transaction?
    Not required
    the actions which are required to make a content rep known to SAP System via Archive Link.
    Create a content repository  in OAC0 using document area Archivelink and storage type HTTP Content Server.
    To use full functionality of  Archlink, other set of Archivelink configurations required one of them e.g.OAC3 to use this repository to be used by business objects.

  • Can Archive Link be used to store the docs from SAP R/3 to KM Repository

    Hi All,
    Could you please advice whether archive link can be used to store documents from SAP R/3 enviroment to KM Repository. I have verified the storage types that archive link can support (Like HTTP Content Server) . But i couldn't see any storage type out there which is compatible with KM Content storage.
    If it is not possible, Could you please advice is there any way to store the documents from SAP R/3 environment to KM Repository.  
    Thanks,
    Sudheer.

    Hi Vivek,
    until now I haven't found a solution in detail, but some ways to verify the connection.
    I wrote about a tool that export the pdf to the filesystem, this wont be able at this time, it must developed, because a function will place the data in a sap table and from this point there we can export it on the filesystem after we've develop some abap code.
    I thought that was already available, but that what i found was the Report RSTXPDFT4 in the sap system, with this you can transfer spool to pdf and store the file in dialog on a filesystem, there will webdav be able to use, but it must be batch.
    So I search to a new way, I try to set the repository for rooms from persitence from db to fsdb, this works, but with our patch sp9 there are some errors, so i must patch it to sp 15/16 first.
    I'm able to make the netshare on windows, so the repository is reachable with an unc Path. If the report, that must be written can access such unc path (normaly thats works in the same domain) we can store the Files in the room workspace document folder an the portal synch job can make the rest. >IN the sap system there must be a table to map the rooms to the responsable folder.
    This way should be work, but it isn't fine for productive, I heard from a way to transfer the data with  java. In CRm System there should be a fnction from sap CRM_ISA_ORDER_CONVERT_TO_PDF and the isa use the java-stream to transform it in pdf, but this is nothing for me, that must be checked from a java developer, a colleague of my will check this.

  • 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 :

    hope this helps....

  • Content Repository for Image Archiving

    Hello Experts,
    We designed a Report to archive  PDF files . Each file size is about 95 MB. We are planning to archive  10000 / Day .
    In the Program we made use of some standard Archiving Functions to archive and to update in the Archive Link Tables.
    In the Dev system it took 1 second for each file  to archive.
    In Test system It has taken 4 seconds for one PDf file.
    Since the Content Repository I used in the Test system is being used by many Data and Document Archiving Objects,  I changed the  Document type to get linked to another Content Repository.  Then it took 1 second to archive One file.
    Do we need to have separate a CREP for this ?.  Does  the CREP has  any impact in the  archival  and Retrieval  of Documents?.
    Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Regards - Swarna.

    Hello Swarna,
    I will always prefer to use a different content repository rather than going with other repository which is already in use. This will help in management of post archive pdf documents effectively in content server as well as legal requirement management.
    If one file size is 95 MB then if system takes 04secs to archive then it is very good response.
    I am thinking that you wanted to mention it as 0.95MB but by mistake u mentioned as 95MB.
    If it is 95MB then for archiving 10000 pdf documents it will require full day.
    However for 0.95MB size of pdf file archiving i would suggest to go with saparate content repository.
    Hope this answer will help you to take up further decisions.
    -Thanks,
    Ajay

  • Content Transfer Archive Link and sap viewer

    Hello,
    I configured archive link to view attached documents with the sap viewer via HTTP. The document is stored in a external Content management system. When I try to retrieve a document, the sap system genereates a request to my external archive server. The server sends a response back to sap. But will the content directly go from the archive server to the sap viewer application or will the content travel to the sap server and then to the client pc? For example: the sap server is in australia, the client PC in the USA and also the repository and archive server is in the USA. Will the content travel to australia and then back to the client PC in the usa?
    Thanks,
    Nicole

    Hi Nicole,
    As far as i know when you create a document in you Content server SAP creates a link to that document, When your frontend request a document, SAP forward you to that link and SAPviewer retrieve the info directly from the Content server to the frontend.
    Hope this help!

  • Linking DMS to a Content Repository for Recipe Management

    How do I link a document type to a content repository?
    This is for Recipe Management. When I look in DC10 I can see that there is a document type of RMS for Recipe Management.
    I assume this means Recipe Management is connected toDMS
    I have created a content repository ZRM using OAC0.
    How do I make the link between the document type RMS in DMS and the content repository ZRM?

    Thanks for the reply but it isn't really what I was after.
    I am only the basis guy so I am not sure of the application but my expectation is that users will save a document with a document type of RMS. This document should be saved to a Content Repository
    What you have described is how to save a type of document such as MS Word to a particular repository. I was hoping that Recipe Management documents (possibly MS Word, possibly not) would go to a Recipe Management Repository.
    There still might be the possibility that documents (possibly MS Word) for other projects e.g. packaging could be written to a different repository.
    What I am hoping for is a link from the document type RMS in DC10 to the Content Repository defined in OAC0.
    I have a suspicion this is via the category defined by OACT.
    The link from SAP DMS to Content Repository seems fundamental to me. I am surprised no one has the answer
    ...or perhaps I have completely missed the point?
