Document Distribution Workflow Error

Dear Expert,
After Up gradation from 4.7e to ECC 6.0 in new system we are facing problem in Documents Distribution, after executing Tr. Code CVI8 system generates message Initial order XXX has been successfully created
But, the problem is, in tr. code SBWP document is not received in recipient ID and in distribution log(CVI9) document is shown with yellow flag & "PC" status (i.e. Package crated successfully).
Actually we are maintaining same configuration in both system ECC 6.0 & 4 .7e but its working fine for 4.7e system not for ECC 6.0. Whereas Workflow log gives message "You have not entered a distribution order package"
I already checked
1) Re-activate the following workflows in transaction SWDD: WS20000104 & WS20000137
2) In Tr. code SWU3, Automated workflow customization
3) Activated Even Linkage Type
4) In Tr. Code SWE3 Instances for Event Linkage.
Any suggestions.....Thanks in advance...

Hi Sam,
I have experienced a simliar problem. I'm trying my best to remember how it was resolved.
I think the problem we had was to do with the Context.
1.It had not been defined
2. It was not assigned to an event
Hope this helps.

Email document distribution PDF attachment conversion error

I have configured document distribution via emai with an attachment. My DMS documents have a single PDF original attachment.
The email transmits fine through SAPConnect, however when I open the attachment Adobe tells me the file cannot be opened, and is corrupt.
The issue seems to be in SAPConnect conversion, converting BIN to PDF. Any suggestions on the conversion function module or sample code for a fm to do the conversion are appreciated.

Hi,
regarding the information with the BIN extension I would kindly ask you
to implement the SAP note 873597.
Further please check the following settings which helped to solve
such issue in the past successfully:
1. Go to transaction : FILE
2. Select DOCUMENT_DISTRIBUTION
3. Double click on "Syntax group definition"
4. You will find the file length defined for "WINDOWS NT
5. Change the length value to 70.
6. Also for As/400 change the length to 40.
Best regards,
Christoph

DMS Document Distribution Problem Pls, Help Will be appreciated

When executing T-Code CVI8(Document Distribution), there is a system message that the order was successfully created. But when we looked at the distribution log using T-Code CVI9, the status of the document remains as SY and the processing of the distribution stops. We already finished the settings for document distribution and still this error persists. What could have been wrong? Pls advice.

Hi Athol,
i have checked the workflow config accordingly,
workflow templates 20000104 and 20000137. are active.
a. 20000104 BUS1082 x 2 (Initiated and Resend)
b. 20000137 BUS1082002 x 1 (Resend)
But the Release status for these templates is NOT DEFINED, should it be RELEASED & the container tab for 20000104 shows a warning icon(Mandatary import parameter)on partial order & intial value not set & same for 20000137 shows warning icon on distribution order package & initial value not set.
what does this mean, is there any setting required for this?
2. Transaction SWU3 ensure that all has been generated (activated). Pay special attention to Maintain Runtime Environment -> Configure RFC destination.
I HAVE checked the above all are active except Configure RFC destination, what is the setting required for the same.
the 3, 4,& 5 setting what u have suggested are ok,i have checked them.
Please suggest for the 1 & 2 points.
thanks in advance.

Error in SAP standard workflow ddoStart - Start document distribution

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the document distribution but i'm failing completely. After doing what i think is the necessary config (setting all relevant tasks to general task should be all), i try to distribute. I create a list, selects people and click go.
When checking the log for the distribution later on, all workflows generated hang in the same place - namely the case branch before "check document distribution". Further on, the "check distribution order" task does have three potential outcomes after calling the business objects corresponding method. The problem is that the method "check" of bus1082 (doc. dist. order) does not return a check value as a parameter, even though it has a result internally.
I suspec i'm missing something here, but the wf still bombs out.
Tips and tricks guys?
Espen

HI all,
Problem is identified and a solution is found. THe businesss object's methods for distribution order did not have the flag for result parameter ticked. Opening up the standard SAP objects, tick the box and voila - it works.
Still puzzles me how SAP did release this. Didnt they test?

Error no receipient found in document distribution

hi,
i'm getting error no receipient found in document distribution,
when executing document distribution in CVi7
Kindly let me know whether it is basis or workflow related issue,
regards
kokila

Hi Kokila,
one possible reason can be a missing flag in TA SO16. Please check
that the flag 'Organizational units' (under tab 'Adressing') is set and
that no sending restrictions are defined under tab 'Send'.

Document Distribution with attached documents coming across in BIN format

Hello all,
I have 3 dist types defined in the system. RML, RMA, and INT
RMA sends to SAP Office and includes a link to the document defined in DMS and seems to work correctly.
RML sends the document to SAP Office as an attachment but the attached documents always is in BIN format and cannot be opened by the application.
INT sends to my external email but has the same problem as above, the attachment is always in a BIN format and cannot be opened.
This works the same with several different applications in DMS, Word, Excel, Text Files, etc.
Can anyone give me an idea what I may be missing in config that is keeping this from working correctly. We are running SAP ECC 6.0
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Please check the following customizing in your system:
1) Please check you have maintained suitable length of syntax group for
Windows NT. Please maintain it more than 20.
Please proceed as follows to correct this entry:
Run the tcode SPRO
Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG)
Cross-Application Components
Document Management System
   Document Distribution
    General Settings
     Platform-Independent File Names
      Maintain file names and file paths across all clients
       Syntax group definition
2) Please check the 'File processing' value for distribution type 'INT'.
Please set it as '2'.
Further please check note 355048 and as mentioned your settings in transaction DC30 for the workstation applications.
Best regards,
Christoph

Click on the distribution type which you want to activate and make it default.
3) Go to DIR, Environment ---> doc distribution ---> create recepient list and save the recipient list.

Document distribution with restriction on Status of the DIR

Hi all
In my business scenario, I need to restrict Document distribution based on Status of the DIR.(i.e) A user should be able to distribute a DIR of a particular status(RL-Release) he cannot the distribute the DIR in status(IP-In process).
I have maintained the following values in the auth. object,
C_DRAW_TCD
ACTVT : Create or generate, Change, Display, Distribute
DOKAR : DRW
C_DRAW_TCS
ACTVT : Display, Distribute
DOKAR : DRW
DOKST : RL
But still I am able to distribute the document in IP status(which I have not specified in the auth. object C_DRAW_TCS)
Is there any change in what i have done or any new object to be added?
Help me in finding out the solution.
Regards
S.Sivakumar

Hi Christoph
I have generated the profile and assigned to the correct user. In ST01, when I tested the autorization checks, all auth. objects checks are fine except C_DRAW_TCS.
For C_DRAW_TCS the auth. check is happening for only "03 Display" activity.It is not happening for the activity "59 Distribute". I have maintained the auth. object for both Display and Distribute. as follows
C_DRAW_TCS
ACTVT : Display, Distribute
DOKAR : DRW
DOKST : RL
But the auth. check is carried out for only display.
C_DRAW_TCS RC=0 DOKAR=DRW;DOKST=RL;ACTVT=03; and it displays Authorization check successful. For distribute the auth. check itself is not carried out.
Help me in sorting out the problem.

Explode document distribution list / organisational unit

I have configured document distribution. I am able to send mails through document distribution. However, I want to send mail to a group of users. Hence I have created an organisational unit with different positions and I have captured the e-mail addresses of the users in the respective positions. However when I capture the organisational unit as a recipient the following error message appears " Orginizational unit/distribution list <Scroll Approver> contains no
recipients". Also I am not able to explode the organisatinal unit.
Please advise.

Hello Sudha,
currently i have the same problem (i want to send e-mails to an organizational unit). Did you solve the problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Christian

Document Distribution - Confirming Receipt

Hi All,
I have setup document distribution to use both RML & INT, with both distribution types requiring confirmation of reciepts.
When distributing via RML the distribution log shows status 'WR' - waiting receipt
When distributing via INT the distribution log shows status 'OK'
Question:
Why does distribution type INT not show status 'WR' - waiting receipt? Users cannot confirm receipt if the status is 'OK'
Please help
Thanks Neil

Hi Christoph,
The tick on the distribution type INT was not ticked & only the confirmation tick was ticked in the Recipient List.
This has been solved
Regards,
Neil

Document distribution Status

Hi All,
I am new in SAP and I am for the moment trying to learn about document distribution in DMS.
I wonder what I should do to get the Status for my distribution order to OK?
For the moment the Status alway stays at PC, depending how I distribute the Status has been AS nad BD before staying at PC.
In my example I have distributed via Recipient List and succesfully received the document with its originals to an email.
I have tried both confirm receipt/ no confirmation and also changed other things.
Thanks in advance
Mikael

Hello,
Good day!
I was wondering if you could help me with my problem regarding document distribution status. I would like to add a new external address in the recipient list. I was able to maintain the address in SOAD and SOCP however the status stays at BD for the new external address that I maintained. For the rest of the recipients, it was processed successfully (email was sent and a form was printed).
Can you tell why is it not working or give your inputs on what to check?
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivy

Document Distribution Log Status

HI All,
In CVI9 I can set a document distribution status to Ignore but I cannot find anywhere in the log that it records who set that status and when. Does anyone know if there is a background table where this information is stored so I can write a query to determine who set this status.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
in the standard I think there is only the 'Log' and 'Workflow' button which enables you to get further information about how the distrbution was processed. However here the user and time of the change is not displayed.
Best regards,
Christoph
