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.
Regards
Amaresh Makal

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 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?

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:

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.

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.

How to configure DMS to create the document of WBS and Netwrok.

1、Microsoft office 2007: how to assign to WBS?
2、the other document type like rar. how to assign to WBS?
Please explain me all the steps to be required.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Use following basic steps to configure the DMS for WBS & Network Actvities.
1) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management System -
    > Control Data -> Define Number Ranges for Document Numbers.
    Here you can use Internal or External Number Range for saving the documents.
2) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management System -
    > Control Data -> Define Document Types
    Here you have to add various Document Types (must be 3 char) as per your requirement
    For Example.:
    COM     Comparitive Statemnt
    MMB     Measurement Book
    MPR     Monthly Work Proggs
3) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management
    System -> Control Data -> Define Document Types -> Define Document Status. ( Not Mandatory )
    Document status is used to show the current status of yr document.
    For Example:
    IW - In Work
    RE - Released
    CR - Change Request
    AR - Archieved
4) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management
    System -> Control Data -> Define Document Types -> Define Object links.
    If you want to attach the documents to WBS Element & Network Actvity add following Objects by     using above menu path
PRPS - WBS Element
VORGNET - Network
If you are going to store the DMS documents in same R/3 Server follow the below menu path, here you must take help of your BASIS Consultant
5) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management
    System -> General Data -> Define Data Carrier.
If you are going to store the DMS documents in Seperate DMS Server follow the below menu path, here you must take help of your BASIS Consultant
6) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management
    System -> General Data -> Settings for Storage Systems > Maintain Storage System & Maintain Storage Category
7) SPRO / IMG -> Cross - Application Component -> Document Management
    System -> General Data -> Define Work Station Application

Use Kpro or Vault for .cad documents?

Hi All!
I would like to know, how the best way to storage .cad documents through DMS, Kpro or Vault?
I didn't get to understand what the really difference between this two ways.
In Kpro I use the web like front end, and vault I use SAP? It is right?!
Thanks for all!

There are plenty of forums that have already discussed these storage options. Put the 'search' button to more use and you will find your answers. Couple of references are below:

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.

In which SAP table attchment link stores ?

Dear All,
I have connected SAP to one external DMS as a content server.
It is working fine
my scenario:

thnx for reply
As rightly pointed by you, links get stored in the SAP link tables as per the configuration vix TOA01, TOA02,TOA03,TOAHR.

now my query is where is this link of attachment gets stored

Archive link properties

Dear Friends,
I have gone thru the various material regd. Archive link. I want to confirm few points from you.
1. Is Archive link part of DMS or PLM.
2. In Archive link we can't edit, only chek in / print / display possible. Where as in DMS / KPRO we can edit.
3. Enhancements not possible in Archive link.
Regards,
Sai Krishna

Hi Sai,
Responses are as below:
1. As you are aware ArchiveLink is a service integrated in the SAP Web Application Server for linking archived documents and the application documents entered in the SAP system. Hence, Archivelink would qualify as a part of Basis Services activities(going by the way its organized in IMG).
2. The statutory legal compliance is different for various countries when it comes to docuemnt storage(Eg: Docs need to stored for minimum 3years,7 years et-al). Archivelink ensures long term easy access to the documents. Hence, the key activities that can be performed are search and display(DMS is used in for docs/originals modification,edits).
3. Basic customizations can be performed in Archivelink as indicated in below help link:

Printing graphics (via SmartForms?)

Hello,
I have problem with printing images via SmartForms. I know that I must firstly import graphics using SE78 transction and then use it in SmartForms. We would like to print small jpg images which represents rough preview of product in invoices, offers etc.
Problem is that we have tens of thousands of materials and each has a preview. All images are stored in DMS (KPro) so I thing that is inefficient to import all images again in SE78.
Does anybody know how to avoid converting all jpgs to tiffs and importing in SE78. Maybe some other printing solution than SmartForms?
Thanks a lot,
Zdenek

This is a common problem. To accomplish this you may need to resort to new BC-XDC interface which can convert non OTF/ALF output to PS/PCL and then feed to spooler, as spooler is not capable of dealing with other native formats such as images.
Another option is to use 3rd party OMS tools, or KPro/ArchiveLink mass printing solution "APS".

Vishal
