Define data carrier directory in My Documents

Hi Experts,
We are defining a DMS system, and would like to use the local directory defined for SAP as the directory where secured documents are accessed.
In our case, when accessing local options in SAP the directory defined is c:\documents and settings\windows user\sapworkdir
In data carrier definition we have a field path where we should need to enter the correspondent directory.
Which value should we enter to be able to use this default local directory?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Neil

Prasad,
Thanks for your answer but, from what I can see, in that path I can only define a static path. I need the path to be different for each user...
And not even SAP users, but taking into account the windows logon user.
That much sap does it when defining the local directory (for downloading reports, local files, etc.). I need to do the same but to this frontend path.
Any idea?
Thanks
Neil

How to define data carrier?

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to use DMS and when defining data carrier I deleted the default configuration "Identify front end computers" for NT type. Now, is not being possible to back the standard configuration.
I click in "default entry" but the system selects automatically data carrier type "Se" and displays the following message:
Corresponding entry in "Define data carrier type "server, front end"" missing
Actually, the type "Se" does not exist, but why the system are selecting this instead NT?
Thanks in advance?

Define Data Carrier

Hi Gurus
We have installed content server in our project to store the original files. I want to know whether i should define the data carriers and what is the purpose of it. Can't we use the system without defining the data carriers? I know it may be simple question but i went through some forums with no luck.
Actually i want to know why we need to define the data carries and what are the steps of configuration to be done if we use the content server and even for SAP DB also.
Thanks
Harris

In SAP DMS,on occasions when you display an original file, the system always creates a local copy of this original file on your PC.
The data carrier,if defined(Eg:C:\Temp\), indicates where this particular original file is stored whenever it is displayed.Do note that this holds true for only a copy of the original file while the "actual" original file is still stored in the secure storage area i.e, kPro content server in your case.
Hope this brings in the required clarity for you to proceed.

DMS data carrier configuration

I'm working with 4.0B and I have configured data carrier for my PM users. The problem is that it does not work:
User requirement: to attached document from LAN via CV01.
I have done the following:
1. Identify front-end computers
DATA CARRIER - default
TYPE (DATA CARRIER ) - w1
NET ADDRESS - default
DESCRIPTION - default for local pc
2. Define mount points/ logical drive
DATA CARRIER - ML_PM
TYPE (DATA CARRIER) - w1
PREFIX FOR ACCESS PATH-
mlavofn1\Organization\Field Operations\PMDir\
legend: mlavofn1 is LAN server and the rest the files directory.
The whole length of the configuration is less than 70 characters.
Error:
mlavofn1\Oragnization\Field Operations\PMDirl\:
which comes with 3 additional characters l\: at end of the string.
message no is 26 136 and when I checked for note, 26 136 basically meant for access path more than 70 characters.
My question is whether my configuration is correct or not??. if correct then it could a bug or other factors.
Appreciate advise on my configuration.
Thanks

Data Carriers and Data carrier type

Hi Sap Gurus,
Pls let me know is there any necesssity of defining any new Data Carrier types other than PC,
if so at what circumstances and requirements,
also pls throw some light about data Carriers, when is the new data carriers required to be created
at what circumstances and requirements.
is that to access a document from different server or Different system, if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
if there are say 4 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
rest of the 3 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2,3 and 4 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
Please throw some light on this
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Dear Christoph Hopf,
Thanks a lot for your Quick Response
as you have Explained,i assume it is mainly used to store a local copy or extra copy of the Original application files in the system which we use to View them, or if we feel to store the copy in any other system also.
Example Say there are 3 systems S1, S2 and S3
if we are viewing an original file in System S1 and want the same Copy to be stored in System S2 or S3.....
then this data carrier configuration is required if iam right?
But Sir apart from this funtionality can i also know the SAP definition purpose, as it defines data carrier type as below
The system requires the data carrier type in order to exchange data with other data carriers.
This is the case, for example, if the user:
wants to process original application files stored on another computer
wants to use an application installed on another computer
if i can interpret this in right way
it tells us that, by use of data carrier and Data carrier types
we can access a original file stored in Different systems,
if it is so why is this required as the documents are always stored in a central content server and Once checked in, any one can access the document from Server,
2) can we make use of Application softwares Installed in one System and make it run in another system, example,
if there are say 3 system totally, among this S1 system1 has Autocad Installed in it ,
rest of the 2 system have not installed Autocad, Can the system 2, and 3 edit the auto cad drawings in there system, does at this situations where Datacarries and Data carries types come in to picture,
if so how is this made possible?
pls explain with example or Screen shots in Wiki if possible
can u tell me what is the difference between Datacarrier and Datacarrier types with any examples as well
Thanks and regards

Difference between Data carrier type and Data carrier??

Hi experts,
Could you please explain me the difference between Data carrier type and Data carrier with an example??
Regards,
Kiran T

hi Kiran,
Data carrier is to achive communication between server and user front end. We can define one data carrier type along with path as default for all or seperate data carriers type for specific users in define data carrier in SPRO. This defined data carriers again we assign to application in defining network for workstation application in SPRO.
By using data carrier we can upload to & download originals from server. We can change and print the documents from server.
Please award pts if its useful / need further information.

Problem in data carrier "IDENTIFY FRONT END COMPUTER"

hello all
i am facing problem in data carrier creation for front end computer. actually i am creating data carrier type PC and i want set as default for all desktop. After DEFINE DATA CARRIER TYPE SERVER, FRONT END and Select PC and IDENTIFY FRONT END COMPUTER its shows following error
No entries found that match selection criteria
Message no. SV004
Diagnosis
No entries were found when importing data from the data base.
Procedure
If you have specified selection conditions, start the transaction again with conditions that are less restricted.
You can make new entries independently of this. To do this, select the function New entries in menu Edit.
help me

Hi Vivek,
In the SAP standard this entry are maintained only by the system
itself and they cannot be entered manually in transaction DC20. I can
only provide you the following information on the possible settings for
variable HOSTNAME and the DEFAULT frontend entry.
1. Default entry
   Call transaction 'DC20'. Double-click node 'Define data carrier type
   "server, front end"'. Select the respective data carrier type (e.g.
   'PC') and double-click node 'Identify frontend computers'. Click
   button 'Default entry' in the top right corner of the table control.
   Note that it is only possible to create 1 default entry!
2. System variable HOSTNAME
   If you run Windows XP, please go to Start -> Settings -> Control
   Panel. Double-click on 'System'. Click on tab 'Advanced' and then on
   button 'Environment variables'. Create system variable 'hostname' and
   assign a value'. Save the new variable.
As there is already a DEFAULT entry for frontendtype 'PC' it cannot be
maintained for another frontend type.
Best regards,
Christoph

How to define a data carrier type "archive" in DMS

Hi, experts.
In order to intgerate DMS and ArchiveLink(Check in origin with ArchiveLink), i want to define a data carrier type "archive" in DC20.
I have already defined a content repository 'Z2' in OAC0, but i can't enter 'Z2' into the field-data carrier,
error message: You cannot use data carrier Z2 - try displaying possible entries
Message no. V&021
and the only possible entries is 'MA'
which type content repository could be used as data carrier type 'archive",
or there are some steps that i missed?
Here are parameters of 'MA' and 'Z2':
MA ARCHLINK SAP System Database 0046 ma
Z2 ARCHLINK HTTP content server 0046 Test
Thanks.

Hi,
Let me refresh your message with your Permission.
i think iam also in the same confusion, any suggestion regarding this is eagerly welcome.
i have some specific senario in DMS where the Client needs to store the DMS Original Files in SAP Archive Server through SAP Archive ink,
here if i configure a part of Archive Server, so as to store the Original application files of DMS,
say ZDMS_Arch01, ZDMS_Arch02, ZDMS_Arch03.
ie.. if i configure Archive server as a Storing medium for DMS Original Files, will it appear as an Option to be selected for storing the original application files,
just like as we get the list of storage catagories to store the Originals like DMS_C1_ST or any content server Storage catagory (clicking Check in original, in CV01N transaction
any one who have configured this please Clarify.
Regards
Sathish

Defining Date range and using the same range to search the documents.

Hi Sap Gurus,
in our business there are some documents which do have Validity period, like say Inspection certificates and valid for say 10 months, ex.. JAN 25th 2009 to Oct 24th 2009
we store this certificate in DMS and link to some SAP object say an Asset,
we have a requirement to list all the documents based on the expiry date range. say to get a list of documents which are about to expire in 15 days, or the list of documents which have already expired
I tried to define a characteristic in date format, but it is a single value field, and search is only supported on that specific value only.
like we cannot serch the DIR falling in between this Date Ranges.
also report of Documents which are to expire in 15 days could not be got.
is there a way to meet this requirement , if it is through a development also please tell me how the logic could be built
Thanks and regards
Priya S

Hi SAP Gurus,
Thanks much Thomas for your Promt reply.
The solution provided by Thomas really works but the same thing is not possible in EDMS,
in Easy DMS we cannot manually give any value in the date characteristics field, the system will ask to fill from the date window format.
so we cannot enter < or > <> value in characteristics, hope there is any note or other procedure to get the same funtionality.
please if any one worked on the same with EDMS let me know
Thanks and kind regards

In the above wsdl the collection of fintObjInst if of type xs:anytype. From the wsdl, I do not see the xsd mapping for AccountIC which includes Name and Desc. Due to which, when invoking the web service from a different client like c#(by creating proxy business service), I am unable to set the parameters for AccountIC. I am using JAX-WS stack and WLS 10.3. I have already looked at blog http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohlert/archive/2006/10/jaxws_and_type.html but unable to solve this issue. However, at run time using a tool like SoapUI, when this wsdl is imported, I am able to see all the params related to AccountIC class.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks,
Sudha.

Did you try adding the the XmlSeeAlso annotation to the webservice
@XmlSeeAlso({<package.name>.AccountIC.class})
This will add the schema for the data type (AccountIC) to the WSDL.
Hope this helps.

Data carrier & application field are not getting displayed in CV04N

Hi Guru's
In TCode : CV04N, data carrier & application field are not getting displayed.
While i compare with my IDES system, data carrier & application fields are getting displayed in CV04N.
Let me know is there any configuration that has been missed out.
Regards
Bhanu

Hi Bhanu,
Please note that the fields 'Data carrier' & 'Application field' are visible only if no document type is entered.
Suppose you enter a document type and press ENTER then these fields disappear. This is because the field 'Application' was designed when only the storage is archive, vault or SAP-SYSTEM was possible and the number of added originals was limited.
Currently DMS allows storage of originals on Content Server and there is no limit on the number of added originals, the system behavior was changed due to performance reasons. To avoid performance problems if you search for a document with a lot of originals attached this field gets invisible if you enter a document type which uses the KPRO storage.

Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information.

Hi All,
In my dashboard there are live office connections which has optional prompts defined in SAP BI. I have bound the cells to these prompts in live office object properties.
There are no errors while refreshing the LO connections from excel sheet.
But when i run that dashboard and give BLANK value for that prompt then it throws the error :
Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315).
Reply highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
DJ

Hi Hardik,
I am building a similar solution as yours connecting webi reports to Bex queries and reading the webi data through live office into the dashboards. I am using almost similar versions as yours - BW 7.1 SP5, BO 4.1 SP4, Dashboards and Live Office SP4 versions. I am facing issues setting up the live office connections itself. I create the Live office connections within an excel and when I try to import this excel spreadsheet into my dashboard designer, it runs forever and crashes.
Could you please list out the steps you performed to get the Dashboard to preview live office data? Do you have OLAP connections for BW cubes and created WebI reports using these connections or You created a Universe on top of the Bex Queries?
It would be great if you could share the steps performed.
With respect to your issue, check if the report engine service is running. Do you have any error message details apart from this error?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohini.
