DMS - default original documents path?

Dear experts,
We are planning to setup a DMS for our SAP system.
Can we specify a "prefix path" somewhere in a single location for all our original documents?
Doing so would avoid the need to adjust all the references to the original documents if our document default location main directory changes.
Tnx in advance,
Jake

Hi,
As you are setting up DMS system,
SAP recommends content server as storage medium to store all the documents. As content server is centralized repository accessed by using web server that will serve the purpose which you are looking at.
However need to upload all the documents/originals into DMS content server is required.

  • DMS Display Original Document download in Temp

    Hi,
    I have the requirement in SAP DMS (GUI), whenever i display the document from CV03N tcode, the original file is download in to my Temp folder in the background in EAI viewer as well as separate WSapplication options.
    Whether it is possible to control (without download in client system) it. If it is possible throw some light on this.
    Regards,
    Bala.c

    Dear Bala.c,
    please note that the standard system logic concerning the path for
    temporary files is working the following way:
    1. It will first see the settings for the front end type the user has
    maintained in transaction DC20. If a path is maintained there, this path
    will be used first to place the temporary file.
    2. If no path is maintained in DC20, the Temporary File Path (Windows
    Temporary File Path) is used.
    (e.g. C:\Dokuments and Settings\<User>\Local settings\Temp)
    3. If this "Temp" folder does not exist, the SAP GUI Work Directory is
    used (Alt+F12).
    So I would recommend you to maintain a path where the temporary file is
    placed in transaction DC20 for each frontend type (e.g. C:\Temp\). For
    further information please see also our online documentation under
    http://help.sap.com.
    If you want to avoid that the temporary copy remains on your PC please check
    SAP Note 741388 which explains how to set the OLE2 flag.

  • Managing Document Status at Original Document Levels

    Hi dms gurus,
    i know that we can manage the document at DIR level through the status, and create new versions of documents where the old version is kept with no change allowed.
    However, in the version how one can esily know what changes been done to the originals ? for example, i'm to release a certain document, but don't know what originals been added, what originals been deleted, and what originals been modified ? unless i refer to the old version and compare, which is not practical specially when a document contains quite large number of originals.
    is there a way to control such ? is there a way to control dms at original doc levels, for example any approved original document can no longer be deleted, etc...

    Hi
    To keep the track of changes made in Original, you can make use of '"Content Version"
    You have to enable this setting in dc10 inside the status of the Doc type.. Everytime you change the original file in that particular status , it shows a Content Version of the same. You can see the different "content Versions" in tab original of DIR.. You even have the option to activate whichever Content Version you want to see by default...
    This is different from normal versioning .. as everything is stored in the same version of the DIR.. for eg.. 00

  • Coping originating document no.in VF01

    Hi,
    While creating invoice (i.e VF01)  when u scroll to right at item level u will find three columns in the end which are as follows:
    originating doc  (It is taking Sales document no.)
    Sales doc        (it will take sales document no.)
    Reference doc  (it will take delivery doc no.)
    i want to know from where the originating document is populated while copying from delivery? If it is from copy control then plz suggest me the exact routine or any other settings.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The copy routines are defined in transaction VOFM.  The exact copy routine used needs to be determined from configuration (as you can change the default).
    Follow the IMG path:
    - Sales and Distribution->Billing->Billing Documents->Maintain Copy Control for Billing Documents
    - Select Copying control: Delivery document to billing document
    From here select your source and target document type.
    For example and LF to an F2 uses routine 003 (Header/Dlv-related).
    Also check your item level routine by item category in the same config node.  Again the standard LF to F2 for item category TAN uses routine 001.
    Hope this helps.

  • Re:SAP easy-DMS request for recovery path-location

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement of a recovery for an origin path or a location in easy-DMS for the Document.
    Fact is that Document  was deleted by mistake, then the deletion flag was reseted, and finally path-hierarchy or location has been somehow deleted.
    Is this possible.
    Please advice how to get this done if possible.
    Regards,
    Vivek

    Hi,
    In Easy DMS if a document is marked for deletion, It cannot be recovered. Process is same as SAP DMS.
    For future course, you can have some configuraiton done in Easy DMS like "Originals deleted from EasyDMS can be moved to recycle bin by customizing easyDMS"
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    based on the sample coding I think that some more data needs to be passed in parameter lt_files. I would recommend you to see the BAPI description in transaction BAPI for the DOCUMENT_CREATE2 BAPI and made sure that the necessary data for
    BAPI table DOCUMENTFILES are also handed over correctly.

  • Data loss in original documents

    Hi, we are running R/3 46C with DMS.
    Typical functionality is as follows:
    Using the online vault (ftp server), we checkin and out the originals from the DMS. We use MS Word/Excel as workstation applications to create/update the originals. e.g. the original is checked-out and opens as a MS Word document within the SAPGUI (Inplace DM configuration). A temporary copy is created on local workstation. Employee then updates the original and does a 'save and exit'. This checks the original back into the vault, deletes the local copy from workstation and exits the transaction.
    The issue is as follows:
    Person A opens the original, updates it and saves and exits. Person B (or the same person A) opens the same original document within couple of seconds or so after person A has saved and exited. In this case, person B doesnot see the updated content. So person B has no clue that the content was updated. If person B updates the content and saves it,
    the content updated by person A is lost. There seems to be a performance issue resulting in potential data loss. The trace files for sapftp indicate good performance without any timeouts etc. between the workstation and the online vault (ftp server).
    Not able to nail the cause. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nirmal

    Hi Iring,
    I appreciate your suggestion. I think I understand it, however, in my case, the issue is after the original is checked into the vault. Once a user has updated the original and checked it into the vault (using 'save and exit' button), the transaction ends successfully, with a message "Document Info record <doc typ> <doc number> changed". This gives an impression that the original has been checked-in and the contents have been saved. If I open the same original within couple of seconds of the first save, the original does show as checked-in. However, intermittently, I would not see the content that was changed as part of the first save.
    The ftp log shows no errors and indicates good performance.
    Regards
    Nirmal

  • Links within PDF document open linked PDF documents, but seem to replace original document rather than as additional documents.

    Hello good people of the Adobe Community!  I have a user of Adobe Reader XI that is having the following problem:
    She is viewing, what we will call, the "main document," and this document has many links to other PDF documents.  When she clicks on one of the links, the main document gets replaced by the new document.  She then needs to re-open the main document to view it again.  This happens with every link she clicks.  I worked with the document in Reader XI and am able to open every link as an additional document, thus allowing me to immediately view both the main document and the new document.
    My questions are:
    Is there some setting in her Reader that I do not have turned on/off, which is why she is having this issue and I am not?
    If not, then why is the user experiencing this "replacement" of the main document?
    How do I help her resolve this issue?
    Thank you for your time and attention.
    Ben

    I don't know if there is any way to configure this in the Reader preferences.
    However, it can be decided in the document itself.  I just created a test document (using Acrobat DC) with two links:
    one to open in the same window
    on the open in a new window
    Both links do what I selected:
    one opened in the same Reader window (replacing the original document)
    the other one opened a new Reader window
    When creating the links there was actually a third option: Window set by user preferences.  However, I cannot seem to find such a user preference in Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The default (in my case) seems to be to open in the same Reader window.

  • Defaulting the Document date to system date while GR cancelation via MIGO

  • Set Default "Save As" Path When Launching

    Hello,
    Is it possible to pass command-line arguments to Reader (and what are the options)? I cannot seem to find documentation on this.
    Specifically, I would like to open a document, in Reader, from an external process, with the 'Save As' option pointing to a folder different that the one the document resides in. The document resides in a temporary folder. If the user wishes to save it to disk using "Save As", it defaults to the external process' temp folder. Users tend to just want to save it there, and it gets cleaned up when by the external application. This makes my users grumpy.
    Thus, if I could launch the process with an argument that points the working directory to something other than the directory the document resides in, that would be cool.
    Thanks.

  • Accessing the original sequence path

    Hi all,
    """Begin Sequence :  MainSequence

    comes in the body of the report. I want to put the same in my header file. How to do that.
    I am getting the path of the report file but not the path of sequence file. I tried using "RunState.SequenceFile" activex, but it is showing me the path of reportgen_txt.seq.
    Please help!!

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks a lot, it is working but with some problems. While executing the original seq, a run-time error popup is coming, even if I say ignore, I am getting the original sequence path getting printed on the report header.
    I want to know why is that Run time error coming.
    The error reads:
    The post-expression for the step 'Add_Sequence_Path' could not be evaluated.
    Unknown variable or property name 'Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.SequenceCall'.
    My function step looks something like this in the report header sequence:
    Locals.Header += Str(ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_FS_SEQUENCE"), "%-30s") + Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.SequenceCall.SequenceFile + "\n"
    Thanks a lot.

    When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?
    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.
    Peter
    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • How to create a block key default for documents created by MIRO?

    Hi All,
    How to create a block key (BSEG-ZLSPR) default for documents created by MIRO?
    Could anyone tell me?
    Thanks
    Gandalf

    HI,
    The payment block--BSEG-ZLSPR can be made defaulted by two  ways.
    Means you want to fix one value all the times for the same ,you have to do the same in Vendor master
    ie in the Vendor Master in the Payment Transactions Selection screen. make the Payment Block you want to be defaulted in MIRO.
    you can do for all vendor master in mass change -- XK99.(LFB1)
    if you are not OK with the Above .then there is another way to do the same
    it is by Screen layout setting in SHD0
    in this enter the Transaction MIRO and create a Transaction variant Z*** and click on create
    and also create a Screen variant in OMLRLIST 
    T code MIRO
    Screen variant name Z**
    Program-SAPLFDCB
    Screen Number 0020
    and create it .
    in creating ---enter the default value in the Payment block and in the varinat just check the box w.content
    KNow in SHd0 add this screen variant for the above Trasaction variant
    and then activate this trasaction variant by going into the tab Standard variants.
    so that when ever you do miro this variant will be called and you can get this payment block defaulted.
    hope so it helps
    Regards
