Disable Document Attachment

Hello all,
We are currently working EBP 3.5 in classic scenario with R/3 4.7.
We need to deactivating the option to attach documents in the Shopping cart.
In the higher versions we can deactivate the doc server in SICF transaction. But in the version we are, the doc server itself is not available in this transaction.
Which other way can i achieve this? Is modifying the HTML page in the Internet service the only option? If so is the internet service BBPPU99 the correct internet service applicable?
Please share your valuable thoughts/inputs.
Warmest Regards,
Ajith Chandran

Hi Ajith,
To deactivate the use of Attachments in SC, you can change the template SAPLBBP_PDH_TEXT 100.
This templates handles the "Document" tab, with texts and attachments.
But be carefull, this screen is generic, i.e. used for all SRM documents (SC, PO, GR, RFQ, CTR...).
You could use variable GV_OBJTYP = "BUS2121" to deactivate this for SC only in the HTML template.
To deactivate this via ABAP and not HTML, you could modify the FORM modify_screen of program SAPLBBP_PDH_TEXT to switch gv_mode to D (Display). This will update variable GV_MODE_TEXT used in HTML template, and deactivate the use of attachments.
Other option: use variable gv_with_attach in the same form to completely hide this attachment subscreen.

Document attaching with Procurement document and Invoicing also

Hello Experts,
The query is to attach document with PR/PO, Invoice etc.We don't have DMS implemented in our system and we don't want to save these documents in SAP . The aim is that the attachment should be attached to these documents but is should be saved in a repository outside SAP because these attachments contain >70 pages (>100 sometimes in case on Invoicing). How can we achieve it?
We have .Net and SharePoint in place. Can we use them for this purpose?
Or if there is some other workaround to achieve the same.
Thanks for four valuable suggestions.
Saurabh

Thanks for your response Jurgen.
Though I have marked the discussion as answered yet I got few more points to ask from you,hope you understand that:
Firstly,during document attachment ,can we disable option for 'Create attachment' and keep the option for URL enabled?Please suggest me the way for it..
Also,perhaps in MM all transactions will not provide the options for linking document with URL or create attachment options,wherever necessary . Then which is the preferred way to deal with such transactions?
Secondly, If I attach a document with this way (screen shot) then source and destination remains the same as shown below:
Now, my query is " Is that possible the document is saved under a separate directory (like L drive) instead of the path shown in the screen shot (source and destination are same, I want a default store location with this where all such document will get stored). I hope you got what I am looking for..
Thanks & regards

Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

Hi All,
Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
PDF is already in the folder options
Any ideas?
Toni

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached?

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached? I've checked the document for viruses with "MacKeeper" and it's clean.

Google reads your emails, in case you did not know that. Unless you are sending an email containing content Google can extract and add to its vast database of personal information, Google has no use for it.
Google Mail is becoming progressively useless. It won't accept .zip attachments, at least not the last time I tried, it will eventually prevent you from using an email client unless you visit their web mail interface, and it will disable your account if you attempt to log in from someplace Google deems is not where Google thinks you ought to be.
Gmail is worth every cent you paid.
Get rid of MacKeeper. It is capable of doing nothing beneficial and will only cause problems.

Cannot disable automatic attachment preview in Mavericks Mail?

Hello All,
I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks that Apple Mail started automatically previewing attachments again... I had disabled this in previous versions of OS X. I tried to disable this again in the terminal using:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
But after re-starting Mail, attachments are being automatically previewed again.
I consider this a security issue so I would like to disable automatic attachment previewing as soon as possible. Has anyone been able to do this with the Mail included with Mavericks yet?

Just a basic examplo: getting an email with an open image, that the 2 people around me can immediately see, can pose a serious security for anything I'm doing with my Mac!
So, you see, SECURITY is much more than a mere technical problem!
Cheers
That's a privacy problem, not a security problem.
If you are receiving images in emails that the others arround you are not qualified to see, your office setup is the security problem, not Mail.
Use a different email client that gives you the option. I have no idea what those are, though.

I need to visualize a document attached on a pdf file on an iPad. Is there any application to do that ?

I need to visualize a document attached on a pdf file on an iPad. Is there any application to do that ?

Yes. Quite a few actually.
Starting with Apple's own iBooks App, I also see many recomendations for Goodreader, and Adobe's own PDF Reader. Just to name a few. Look for them in the App Store. iBooks and Adobe reade are free. You can also search the App Store for other alternatives.
Also for most PDF's the Mail App can open them directly.

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Office 2007 Document Attaching in Solution Manager

Dear Gurus,
When document attaching in Solution Manager 7.01, the system does not support Microsoft Office 2007 formats. (docx, xlsx) Are there any customizing for this topic?
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks, in lieu with your detailed system message, please try with this
The warning is because the file extension docx is not known for the
system. All the known extension is defined in table SDOKMIME by standard
. And customer can extend it in table SDOKMIME_C.
Actually that is only a warning message, which will not block the
following up processing. The docx file will be attached if you click on
the green tick. And the file can be previewed and checked later on.
If you would like to get rid of this warning anyway, you may extend the
customer table using the following step:
-spro->SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
->SAP NetWeaver->Knowledge Management
->Settings in the Knowledge Warehouse System
->Document Management Service
->Define MIME Type for File Name Extension
-add an entry like
File name extension = docx
MIME type of a Web object = application/vnd.openxmlformats
After everything has been done as above, please retry to attach, it should help.
Cheers,

Disable documents tab in the sales order

Hello,
   My client is having a requirement that if ship to party reference date in the purchase order data tab is entered, No user should be able to edit / delete documents attached in the documents tab of sales order.
   I've tried to implement field check BADI for this but documents tab is not coming under field check BADI.
   Is there any other way to do the same ...?
Naimish.

Hi,
I think that you will not get any particular BADI for implementing the logic that you have mentioned regarding the Document Tab. But there is a BADI which gets called whenever you will do a SAVE of any one order documents.
BADI : ORDER_SAVE. You can use the method CHECK_BEFORE_SAVE where you can implement your logic. You will get the GUID of the 1Order Object with which you need to get all the data. And then you can do a validation and if it does not satisfy the Save Criteria then you need to raise the exception - DO_NOT_SAVE.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

New DMS document attachment to order header - can it also be done to a task list?

With business function LOG_EAM_CI_6, you can now attach DMS documents to the order header or operation level in the 'Additional Data' tab.
Since a lot of clients use documents to list complex preventive maintenance instructions, is it also possible to attach a DMS document to a task list header (or operation) and have it show up in the new 'Additional Data' screen area of the resulting order (using a maintenance item/plan to generate the order)? Or do we still have to use the task list operation PRT functionality and have it show up in the order's operation PRT?

Hi Arthur,
I have configured Task list as per the SAP note 1821916 & activated DOC_TL_GUI. This allowed me to attach documents to the Operation &/or Header of the Task Lists. The problem I am facing is when I assign the task list to the work order the documents are not transferred . You have stated that they have transferred to the work order so I am wondering if there is something I missed.
Arthur Balajthy wrote:
And I checked that by adding documents to a task list header or operation, the work order generated from a maintenance plan/item referencing that task list does have those documents attached also.
I haven't tried from a Plan but will do that now.
I assumed if they were attached to the Task List Operation they would transfer to the Work Order like everything else on the Task List
Thanks in advance

Enable to save documents attachement on purchase order

Hi Experts
I attach a document to a purchase order, i save it.
When i open my purchase order i dont find mu documents attached, but when i apply on modify the system give me all documents attached on the purchase order.
How can i resolve this please?
Thanks

Hi,
I am a little confused. You said when you 'apply on modify', you call see all the attachments again.
Would you please tell me what you mean by 'apply on modify'?
Meanwhile I suggest you deactivate save and change BADI for PO and retest the issue.

Mass download of documents attached to change documents

Hi to all,
we've been using ChaRM in Solution Manager for more than 6 months on my project and we've added a lot of documents (word and excel files) in change documents (SDMI, SDHF). I wonder if there is a way to download all files from the change documents programmatically or if a transaction codes exists for that.
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Hi Roel,
Thanks for your reply. I was afraid the answer is no...
As far as I know, documents attached to change documents are not accessible through SI80 (I didn't managed to find them). So i'm trying to create my own report to download documents from chosen solman transaction. Since i'm not an abap expert and Solution manager code is a little bit complex for me that could take time... I will let you know when/if I succeed.
If anyone else has an answer to that question...
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

In order to save any type of document on your phone you need to have an app that supports that form of document.
There are several word processing apps but I prefer Pages. Buy this app. Once it is on your phone you can tap the Word document in your email to view it then tap the Share icon and Open in Pages.
If you edit the document and email it you will have the choice to send it as a Pages document, a Word document or a PDF file.
