Hi paddy
I have done document distribution and it is working fine..
kindly check the following
Steps
1)Recipient Management
Show all entries for recipient management
User menu document management system Environment Document distribution Recipient Office User
Use the address info and communication type RML. Show all entries.
2) Customizing settings :
Under Document management → Document distribution→ Distribution type→ Define distribution types
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.
4) Start the distribution with your defined entries. T code CVI8
5) Look at the log entries. CVI9
6) Use the Workplace in the standard SAP menu. If you did everything in the right way, you will find an entry in your workplace ( t code SBWP).
7) Refer Note 824949-Document distribution: for Activating Event type linkage.
Thank you

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

2) Maintained distribution type activated it and makes it default
3) Also checked: Activating Event type linkage.
4) Maintained the value '2' as processing type for RML
5) Created recipient list and started distribution in Tr. Code CVI8
6) Initial Order is generated, got message document sent successfully.
what is missing, is it necessary a RFC connection & workflow for document distribution within SAP users in same client.

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.

I maintained recipeint list and in CVI8 i started document distribution which gave me back an internal order number later i went to CVI9 to execute the initial order number which took me to Distribution log screen .

Document Distribution DMS, problem with standard workflow WS20000104

Hi,
In our document distribution process we stacked with the problem, when we run the document distribution (via tcode CVI8) we got the error of workflow WS20000104. After some search at SCN we found that there is the similar issue, described in the thread: Document distribution workflow in error. Solution which was offered and marked as worked is to enable/activate Result Parameter check box, but in our case this check box is disabled and when we try to edit the BOR in order to activate Result Parameter check box the system asked to input Access Code.
Is there any way (note) to enable this check box without access code?
Thanks.

Hi, Deepak Kori
In transaction SWU3 there is the following situation:
Maintain Runtime Environment is completely green, including sub-categories;
Maintain Definition Environment is red because of Check Entries from HR Control Tables;
Maintain Additional Settings and Services is red because of Maintain Web Server;
Classify Tasks as General is completely green, including sub-categories;
Guided Procedures is red because of Maintain Guided Procedures Gateway.
Could you, please, explain what do you mean under «workflow settings are activated», how parameters described above are related to workflow and may be related to our problem?
If described situation can be assumed as activated, what should we do now? Otherwise, how to make these settings to be activated?
Thanks.

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,

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

Document Distribution for External Mails ids

Dear Expert Consultants,
I would like to know how to send Docuemnts as link from Document Distribution to external Mails. Also i want to know Mass printing functionality in DMS Documents.
Regards,
Deviprasad.P

Hi,
In the standard case you need to folow below procedure
1. Use TC SOCP to create external recipients. you may need BASIS help in this.
2. Create recipient list using TC CVI1.
2. Assign the documents to be distributed to this list. Document should be created before this step.
3. Assign External recipients to this list.
4. Distribute the document using CVI8.
5. TC CVI9 will help you to know the status of distribution.
Most important factor is that your SAP standard workflow which drives the distribution to external mail ids should be working. Please contact BASIS team if it has any problem. Without this distribution is not possible.
Hope it will help you.

Atul

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?
