DMS KPRO Migration of Metadata

Hello Experts,
We want to migrate DIR KPRO metadata only (Not the orignal attachment, it is already there in the KPRO Server) from legacy SAP ECC system to new SAP ECC system, Is there anyway we can do that?
Thanks,
SamirV.

ALE (Application Linking and Enabling) is a method of moving master or transactional data between systems. In short, you create an RFC connection between the two clients and this allows you to move the data. Obviously when you move data you would need to ensure the clients are setup the same, but you could use ALE to move characteristics and classes across as well so you don't have to manually create these in the new client.
Do a search in the help file for ALE and you should find lots of information. Generally, the setup of ALE would be a basis function.
Here is some additional information I picked up in a google search:

DMS Data Migration-Help required

Hi,
I don't have enough knowledge on DMS Data migration.
In our recent Implementation, we are implementing SAP DMS.
Our client has more legacy data which is in their server. So we have to upload all the data's into SAP DMS.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Please advice me and provide me some examples to upload legacy data in DMS.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
There are few approach discussed in the thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/2119796
You may check feasibility on these approaches for your scenario.
We are having 50+ document types and it has different processes (status network), Classification & few Object links.
Creating these configurations into SAP is one time and should not be a problem.
I gone through few SCN threads and understand that LSMW & BDC will be used for Data migration.
Which is the best method for Data migration?
How much volume of data do you have in legacy system ?
Have a thought on whether do you really need to migrate all these data into SAP DMS ???
OR
You can configure the DMS system and start fresh leaving the document in legacy system as it is.
Hope this helps.

DMS Search on individual metadata characterstics.......

Hi,
WE are using DMS connector for KM and acessing documents from SAP content server.
The requirement is to search on individual DMS metadata characterstics but KM offers only one pre-defined property for all the characterstics and while searching the characterstics are being returned in a concatenated string,but i need to search on individual characterstics.
Will modifying the code for DMS connector a recommended solution? What are the other alternatives?.
We are on EP7.0 and ECC5.0..
Thanks,
Vasu.

Vasu,
We faced the same issue. In order to get around this, we developed a custom KM Report that copies the files from DMS, through the connector, to a KM repository. During the copy, the program parses out the characteristics and stores them as seperate KM properties attached to the file. You can then search the files and properties stored in KM.
I would not recommend customizing the DMS connector code. Besides being expressly discouraged by SAP, I have looked at the code and it is very complicated.

SAP Easy DMS / KPRO / Content Server

Dear Fiends,
We have a requirement to configure the SAP Easy DMS integrating with ECC 6.0 EhP6 application. I am trying to understand the base application components which are needed to set-up the landscape.
My questions are:
1 - Do we need SAP Content Server as part of the SAP Easy DMS configuration to store the attachments? (or) Can we use shared file system and link it to SAP Easy Document Management directly to store the attachments?
2 - Do we also need KPRO along with SAP Easy DMS?
Thank you,
Sri

Hello Tilak,
Thank you for the response.
Based on your comment, We have to use KPRO regardless whether we use Content Server or not with Easy DMS.
Is KPRO a additional installation or is it part of standard SAP application and available via transaction codes?
Thank you,
Sri

Using a URL as the original application file in DMS/KPRO

DMS and KPRO
Has anyone had any experience with creating a DIR that points to a document stored on another server via a URL. Such that the original document is not physically checked into the DMS vault. When I enter the URL as the orginal application file the DMS checks the file into the vault and the URL is lost. Is there possibly a better way to try and reference the URL so that I can get to the document and utilize the functions/features I need from SAP?
Thank you for replying in advance.

Hello,
I've followed the thread because we have the same problem. We made all the suggested changes but unfortunately we were not able to add URLs as original applications. We received an error message - which does not say much: "E:26:504 com URL". After some debugging we found out, that the URL http://www.sap.com was treated as a file with the extension .com -> this resulted in the error message. We've made a number of screenshots, with all our customization settings. Can you tell us what to do to add URLs.

DMS Kpro query

Hi Experts,
Please let me know what is Kpro and what are its function.
I am having confusion between Kpro and content server.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ritesh
I read about KPro, in some source ( I don't remember it now).
Here i'm putting the summary that I had scribbled on my notepad, some time back.
SAP Knowledge Provider (KPro) is the central service, for administrating and storing any kind of documents. Application-independence is a central characteristic of KPro.
The KPro consists of three parts: DMS (Document Management Service), CMS (Content Management Service), IMS (Index Management Service).
DMS is the KPro service that is the closest to the application level. DMS will provide an API, that allows the application to efficiently administrate documents without having to concern itself with the specific details of the physical repository.
The CMS layer handles the technical details of the repository and administration functions. These details include creating document versions, document retrieval, and administrating the server containing the repositories.
I hope it's helpful to you.

"This project needs to migrate WTP metadata" (wsdl4j)

Hi all, I'm getting this message from an external library DC I have created to contain wsdl4j.jar and qname.jar. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Because it doesn't affect the actual "build" (for external library DCs, of course, the jars are just packaged up and shipped out to AS Java as well as consuming DC build paths) the problem isn't stopping me from moving forward. But it is disconcerting to see that my project has always got a Big Red Error on the Problems tab within the Web Dynpro view.

Using HAL to migrate metadata

I have created complex outline in older version of essbase(v6.5.4) and would like to migrate the metadata to Hyperion system9.3 Planning (into the Dimension Library) to avoid all the tedioustyping and property definition. I was told HAL was a good tool todo so but I do not know how to use it. Can anyone tell me where Ican get the documentation for HAL? I am new to this so anysuggestions would be very beneficial to me. Thanks in advance alc 

You can use the HAL Planning adapter to load the meta data. The HAL help should document the Planning adapter ports.

Hi Divya,
Good day...!
A custom UI component will berrequired to upload the data from a Flat File into CRM WEBUI.
The View in this UI Component can have 2 fields lets say u2013 ID and File to Upload and a button 'upload'.
When the UPLOAD button is clicked , the event u2018ONFILEUPLOADu2019 is triggered.
A Javascript function u2018fileUpload()u2019 reads the Excel file and formats the data in the form of a long string with Line Breaks corresponding to each row in the excel file. This string is stored in a Hidden HTML form element u2018Excel_Datau2019.
In the Event Handler for u2018ONFILEUPLOADu2019, the hidden form element u2018EXCEL_DATAu2019 is read and retrived.
lv_file_data = request->get_form_field( name = lv_excel_data ).
me->lv_id = request->get_form_field( name = lv_schema_id ).

Getting an error in DMS

IN CV02n While releasing the document I am atting an error An error ocured while creating the original attribute for

Hi,
error 26296 is caused by inconsistencies in the table DMS_DOC2LOIO. Please run the report DMS_KPRO_READ for the relevant document info record to get the corresponding LOIO-ID.
Please use report DMS_KPRO_CHECK1 described in SAP note 368035 to
check for inconsistencies between DMS, KPRO and content server. Please
also read note 906266. This is relevant in your case, as you are using
one content server for two systems. Details about the DIR in question
can be accessed by using report DMS_KPRO_READ.
Unfortunately, we cannot reconstruct the reason for this inconsistency
but the above described procedure should solve the problem with the
originals.

Accessing files stored in Common Server and share drive with SAP DMS

Hi DMS Gurus,
We have a requirement, apart from retreving the data from content server storage, the client also wants the documents stored in common file server and Share drive also to be accessed through DMS,
1) one option for this may be upload all the documents in the existing servers to DMS Content servers to get the full funtionality of DMS i'm i right? please suggest.
here again they have lacs of document so this may not be a ideal solution, now 2nd option is
2) create a data carrier and Mount points with the existing server if i'm right, but by just doing this what funtionalities will this provide
i have a preassumption that this existing common server can be used as a storage area for DMS (as vault or common server), but only those documents which are stored in to this common server or shared folder through DMS can be retrived by DMS., again i'm i right?
but how can we access all the lacs of file which are already existing there for years.
how can we see all the documents in SAP DMS which are stored earlier in this common server before DMS,
is migrating all the necessary preexisting documents to SAP DMS the only Solution for this.
any solution for this please suggest.
Points sure for any clarification given
Thanks and Regards

hi Priya
This is an old thread but nevertheless would like to give some inputs.
your point .. common file server and Share drive also to be accessed through DMS,
1) one option for this may be upload all the documents in the existing servers to DMS Content servers to get the full funtionality of DMS.
<The option 1 is an ideal option as in future u would one day need to migarate the documents if u intend to use SAP DMS as the DMS system in ur org>
Alternatively if the documents would still need to be retained in the file server but also would need to associate to SAP business objects u could use the Define data carrier external DMS.
This again depend on what kind of documents are stored in the file server & are they relevant to be associated to SAP objects/ Transactions.
The point here is u still want to use SAP DMS to view the file , all though there are other option as Archive link, Service for objects etc. Using SAP DMS option will still call for creating DIR in SAP & assigning the file path hyper link using LSMW /upload prog.
So as for a temp sol till u clean up the file server u can use the hyperlink and later migrate to Content server.

Importing Metadata in Smart View

Dear All,
In Smart view when I migrate the metadata from one worksheet to other its is not getting migrated. I have followed the below steps still its not..
To import metadata to a copied worksheet :
1. Back up your work.
2. From the Smart View menu, select Options, then Advanced, and ensure that Improved Metadata Storage is
selected.
3. Use Excel to copy a worksheet. This operation copies the visible contents of the source worksheet but not the
metadata (connection information, POV selections, alias tables and the like) to the destination worksheet.
4. With the destination worksheet active, from the Smart View menu, select More, then Import Metadata to
display a list of all open workbooks and their corresponding open worksheets.
5. From the list, select the worksheet that contains the metadata that you want to import to the destination
worksheet.
6. Click OK. You will be asked to confirm your selection.
7. Refresh.
Help in solving this issue is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kamal

I don't know what back end you are connecting to, but when I follow the steps you outlined with Essbase's Good Old Sample.Basic, it works just fine -- the members that were selected in the POV are migrated across.
This is on Excel 2007 with Essbase 11.1.2.0.

Cameron Lackpour
