DMS_KPRO_CONVERT

We are trying to migrate documents into KPRO using DMS_KPRO_CONVERT.
The documentation for the program states there are 2 possible ways to run the program 1-Complete migration or 2 Step-by-step migration. When we execute the program - we do not see any place to designate which choice we want. We want Complete migration. Upon execution it appears that the Step-by-step method has ran. I can see that the documents have been converted to use KPRO but that they appear to not be "Checked In". Must we use the integrated viewer and Check in each individual document? (have close to 10,000 of them to be done) Additional documentation suggests that we run DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2. When we execute this program nothing appears to have taken place. I have been unable to find any SAP Help documentation or SAPNOTES that would provide more details. Can anyone provide or point me towards some helpful information
Thanks

Martin,
I am an ABAPer and our DMS 'module owner' has asked me to help them figure out how to migrate the old docs into the new Content server using KPRO. I'm not very familiar with DMS and KPRO. I had noticed the program notes that you included in your reply. We ran the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and it appeared to run with no errors. My DMS user could see that the docs were properly checked to now use KPRO but the content server didn't show that the docs were physically stored. We then ran DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 from the same users PC in foreground. We do not get any error messages, but there is no feedback that the program did anything. When I go to SLG1 and check the Display logs, I see a record of when I ran DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 with a Green box to the left. I can expand this record and I see another Green box and the text "Problem Class Other". I can not find any details or documentation that tells me what this means. When I doubleclick this line, the bottom part of screen displays each individual record with "Start conversion...." followed by each document object id or something like that. So I guess I am asking how do I get this to continue on ? and what ever I have to do to continue this migration, can it be automated to do all or must it be done manually to each individual record?
Thanks

Migration of SAP DMS documents from RFC Archive to SAP HTTP Content Server

Can anyone verify the correct OSS for the migration of documents from an RFC Archive repository (non SAP) in SAP DMS to a SAP Content Server HTTP Repository. Most of the OSS notes seem to indicate HTTP to HTTP migrations or based storage category migrations.
Which is the most suitable for this?

Dear Athol,
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
Best regards,
Christoph

Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives

I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.

Filenet Archive to SAP Migration - Problem with DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2

Hi there
We seem to be having an issue with a Filenet RFC to SAP Content Server migration.
We run the report DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and eveything seems to run fine.
When we run DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 to move the files, we seem to pick up an error:
File /saparchive/DV2/username (where username is my username) cannot be opened
In looking at what is happening, it seems to save the file to the filenet archive exchange directory as the username (with no file extension) however it seems that the system has problems accessing this directly to check the file in to the new repository again and fails.
If I manually check out the file and check it into the sap content server, there is no problem so it doesn't seem to be an issue that either the SAP content server or the filenet server is not accessible.
Any ideas what the issue could be?
Regards,
Athol

Hi Athol,
You have marked this question as answered so can you please help me How you have overcome this issue?
Do we have to run both DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 reports while migrating DMS documents from Content server to other archive server?
Thanks in advance!
With Regards,
Ajay

Migration of orginals between two KPro storage systems

Hi Friends
I have created a document and checked in the originals into Storage category - SAP-SYSTEM (DMS_C1_ST-Default storage DMS (main files)).I have checked "Use KPro" configuration in "Define document type". Now, I need to migrate this originals into a fileshare system, which i have created as a new storage category(ZNEWDMS).How can I go about?
I know there is program DMS_KPRO_CONVERT available. But this program migrates documents from DMS storage(Vault, Server, Archive) to KPro storage. My requirement is to migrate the originals between two KPro storages ie From DMS_C1_ST to ZNEWDMS.
Could anybody help me on this?

Hi,
I noticed this thread is a bit old, but I thought I would ask anyways.
I have the following situation:
Multiple SAP Instances, each with their own KPRO. A consolidation project to move towards a single SAP Instance. The multiple KPRO's stay as is.
I am assuming the easiest wat to go about this is to ALE all the metadata of the various SAP instances to the new instance. Would the KPRO links remain intact?
As part of the consolidation, Objects like materials and equipments have changed, e.g. Material 100 has changed to Material E100. For this I would assume a Bapi to update all the DIR's with the new Objects? This I am hoping would sever the old Object Link and create the new one?
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.
Freddie.

DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT: Originals Missing

Hi All,
I need your help. I have moved original documents from 1 KPRO server to another using DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT. Now this works quite well. Now for some other reason, i have some documents missing and they used to exists in the old KPRO. Is there anyway i can get back the originals?
Thank you in Advance,
Danny

hi,
Follow the steps,
In order for you to use document types from earlier Releases with the new storage categories you must carry out the following steps:
1. Enter in Customizing for Document Management the required settings for the the new storage systems: Maintain storage system , Maintain storage category
2. Call the program: DMS_KPRO_CONVERT (Migration DMS storage into storage of the Knowledge Provider).
3. Press the button |@K8@ (Settings).
Enter the new transport target (storage category) for the old storage data.
*Make this entry for all old storage data where the selected document type can be found
If you want to carry out a complete migration, set the indicator Physically transport the original application files during migration.
*If you want to transfer old audit versions (checked-in content versions) into the new storage system, set the indicator Transferaudits during migration from DMS to KPRO.
Save your entries and go back to the initial screen of the conversion program.
1. Enter the data in the intial screen of the conversion program.
Enter one or more document types whose document info records and possibly original application files you want to transfer to the new storage system.
You can also make a test run of the migration with a simulation by setting the indicator test run .
If you have already run the conversion and only want to convert corrupt documents from the table DMS_CONV2KPRO2, set the indicator to Only documents with errors.
You can see information in the messgae about the progress of the migration when you set the indicator progress indicator. This will, however, impede performance.
Enter the settings in the application log.
The application log contains information about which documents were converted.
Assign a log ID number. This is the number used for identifying the log of the conversion.
Enter a temporary directory where the original application files can be saved.
Start the conversion by pressing |@15@. .
2. Because the logs are saved in the application log you can view them at a later time (transaction Evaluate appication log).
Enter the Object as CV.
Enter the Sub-object as CONVKPRO.
A list appears that shows the status of each individual conversion.
Check whether conversions have errors.
The corrupt original application files are put into the temporary directory that you entered in the initial screen.
3. If a conversion was not carried out successfully you must convert the corrupt documents.
Set the indicator Only documents with errors in the initial screen of the conversion program.
4. When the conversions for all documents of the document type have been executed successfully the system automatically sets the indicator Document storage using the Knowledge Provider (Customizing of Document Management, detail screen of the document type Define document type).
Verify this indicator.

Document Master update - reg

Hi,
I am basically a functional consultant in the process of developing an object to change a Document master of ECM ( CV02N). I am in search of a suitable BAPI to make this change to happen with almost all of the fields available in a Document master with object characteristics also.
Please help me in pointing out a BAPI which will suit my requirement.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Kevin,
