Document Management - Folders

I am new to Solution Manager but have taken it on in order to help my project team implement some of its components; one being Document Management.
Is it possible to create your own folder stucture for DM? Right now, and I don't know if it is because of the way I setup my project (remember, I am new), the folder structre is defaulted. All that I can do is add documents and the functions related to these documents.
Thanks,
Shawn

Keep in mind Shawn that your recommendation to the team should be to document the processes with the "folder structure", and not just make it like a sharepoint folder structure.
The top level is you scenario. Some people put End-to-Ends here, like Order to Cash, others use the fucntional silos, such as Finance, BW, HR. I would recommend a combination. HR - Hire to Retire for example. The level below that are your processes, such as Manage New Hires, or Manage Accounts Payable. The level below this is the Process Steps. These are usually all the steps in your process flow diagram. I would recommend a mappiing of 1:1 for process steps to SAP transactions.
Your documents should be stored at the process level. Visio diagrams, design docs, design specs, etc...
good luck.

Setting up a Document management system in SharePoint 2013

Hello All,
I have come across a scenario where Customer needs a Document management system for their organization.
They want to keep the documents of different departments like sales, HR,Finace in corresponding folders and want to include a workflow for approval of the Documents. Also, Documents related to particular department can be modified or added by users in that
department.
I thought of creating a seperate site collection for this purpose & document libraries of each department, setting up the permission on document library level. Is this a correct approach?
I am new to Enterprise content management system of sharepoint. Can anybody give me a guidance on this how to get started.
Regards
Vishnu

Creating separate site collection for each department will help you scale and grow better and easier to group SharePoint sites together.
Refer to the following articles which will give you an idea about the plan you should do before building a Document management system

Document management requirement

Hi,
We need to provide document management feature in SAP enterprise portal. The requirements are users should be able to create
folders, rename folders, delete folders, create, upload, delete documents such as word, pdf, excel etc. Also we would want
some kind of an access restriction to be imposed based on certain roles.
I think SAP Knowledge Management is mostly used for integrating heterogenous repositories and for providing search capabilities. In our case we do not require search capabilities and we only need to store different kinds of documents created by users in a folder hierarchy similar to that of windows explorer and provide required access rights. Can external applications like MS Sharepoint or any other application be used if there are no requirements for search or integrating with heterogenous repositories. What are the considerations for deciding what approach to be followed.
Thanks in advance,
Veena

Hi Veena,
Ofcourse it all depends on your business requirement whether you need KM or Sharepoint. In your case for your business requirement you may even use Sharepoint, and once the requirement needs search functionality you can either migrate your files to KM or connect your Sharepoint with KM through WEBDAV connector.
Integration between the Knowledge Management Capabilities of SAP NetWeaver and Microsoft Sharepoint Services:

Document Management System in KM

hi experts,
can anyone share few points on Document Management System life cycle.
can anybody give me steps for DMLC
thank you,
vijai

hello Vijay,
Although there are no set guidelines given by SAP.You can think on these lines.
1)All work in progress documents are managed in collaboration room and most of the users who work on these documents within a group are its members.
2)Set up certain guidelines/principles on these documents once finished/finalised. The room owners migrates the documents into appropriate folders in KM.
3)If the documents(once moved) then requires a Approval set up approval process.
4)Documents moved into km are tagged with attributes.
5)Documents once approved give the end users feedback and ratings option to complete a lifecycle.
6)Lastly you would like to set up templates in collaboration room to maintain consistency.
7)Enable Enterprise search only on documents in KM as collaboration room documents are work in progress.
8)Enable versioning on word documents/xls sheets
hope this helps

Integrated Document Management System

Hi,
We are considering Oracle IFS as part of an Integrated Document
Management system with the following functionality:
1. Document/Image Capture
2. Document Storage & Retrieval
3. Processflow/Workflow
IFS meets the requirement for the point 2 above. However, we are
looking for a Image Capture/Processing solution that will
provide scanning and OCR/ICR functionality. Are you aware of any
such solution that can easily be integrated with IFS, so that
scanned documents/images can be directly stored in IFS document
repository.
Thanx & Regards,

Hi,
We are a Kofax Partner and have used Kofax Ascent Software to
integrate with iFS. Essentially what we have done is the
following;
- We do not use the WebUI interface and have created our own
user interface with additional functionality for users.
- As part of the process we needed to scan documents into our
implementation of iFS and also provide the ability to associate
Meta Data with each image captured.
- In our opinion Kofax Ascent software is about the best on the
market for document/image capture and therefore we use this to
place the scanned images into a folder in iFS using the SMB
protocol.
- To read the images into iFS we have two method, a manual and
automatic interface.
- To manually pull the documents into iFS we created page which
requests certain information from the user and then reads the
scanned images and places them into the relevant folder in iFS
programmatically with the associated meta data. This is a Java
Bean which we have created for that purpose.
- To automatically pull the documents into iFS we created an
agent which is time based. At predefined time intervals it goes
to read the source folder and if anything is in there then it
will copy the files into the relevant folders in iFS again with
the associated meta data.
- To keep things as flexible as possible we have a property file
which provide certain generic information so that it can be
adapted to meet various client needs.
Naturally I do not want to go into the specifics of the Java
Beans that we have developed as this took a bit of time to get
right.
Hope this helps, if not give me a shout,
Regards,
Bernard Wright

Document Manager Task Flow

Advanced Edit on folders/files not working when using the Document Manager Task Flow.
Is any settings/configuration required?
I tale it's possibe to make cahnges to security groups/Clasification/account in portal using the docunebt manager task flow.

Please take a look at the Admin guide for WebCenter, Oracle HTTP server configuration section. Basically, you will modify the mod_wl_ohs.conf to enable OHS to handle the communication/auth between WebCenter and UCM.

Document Manager taskflows in Spaces - differential behaviour

Hoping someone can enlighten me...
If you look at the screen shot here [http://www.trans.com.au/tmp/shot.png] you'll see two Document Manager taskflows placed onto a WebCenter Spaces page. The one at the top of the page is pointing at the Space's content folder, and as such has editing enabled.
The one at the bottom points to a folder elsewhere in our content repository, and as you can see most features are greyed out.
Both of the taskflows have their readOnly property set to false (default), so I'm wondering what is required to be done to the repository folder at the bottom to un-grey the document management features we need on the folder in Spaces.
Both folders are owned by the identity I'm logging in with.
Thanks...

Problem worked around - created a new space with content folder, shunted custom structure under that, works fine.

SolMan Document-Management Search

Hi,
sorry for my bad english first:
i'm looking for the solman under the aspect of a documentmangementsystem.
(describing bp, test, elearn, etc.).
just i wanna know, if the is a possibilitiy to search for documents, like a full-text-search.
As far as i know, there is no search functionalitiy in the roadmaps or in the SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN !
my just a SAP beginner, i read some books in this topic, but i haven't found any about a search funtion.
since now, i don't have much experience with the system real-world.
Can u help me?
thx
cya

Hi Marco,
Kindly refer to my postings in [this|Document Management in Solution Manager; thread.
As regards Project/ Guidelines/ Procedural documents, that aren't about the solution, you are right. They are normally not associated against Business Scenario or Process or Process Step level.
However, you may add them in Roadmap transaciton (RMMAIN) only if your project team members are going to access that transaction diligently and make correct use of it. If not, it will soon fall into disuse and create confusions on where the latest documents are stored.
More often than not, in the projects I have worked on since 2004, people tend to keep such documents in a shared folder or Intranet outside of Solution Manager.
Alternatively, if the folder (tree) structure is not a huge turn off, you can perhaps create a namesake Business Scenario called PMO and add folders underneath, against which you can hold documents.

Srini

Using the Document Manager Rich Text Editor

I'm wondering whether there is a reasonable way we can use the Rich Text Editor (based on CKEditor) that is contained within the Document Manager task flow (primarily for editing Wiki pages) outside of the Document Manager itself? We have another type of content we need a Rich Text Editor for, but it would be great if we could use the inline image links, tables, links to documents in the content repository, etc.

Have you consider use Site Studio + Content Presenter?

Activating u00E1 former Window after calling a Document management picture

Hi,
in an ABAP programm I am calling function module CVAPI_DOC_VIEW2 which opens a new window where I can view a Document management picture for a given material number.
My problem is, that the new called window is active and I have to use a mouse click to activate the first window to enter a new material number with a barcode reader.
How can I activate the first window through ABAP without having to use a mouse click again ?
Is there a function module or class available which I can call to activate the first window again?
Below you find a short programm which calls the funtion module CVAPI_DOC_VIEW2.
Thank you in advance for an answer.

I've run into this issue in CP4 as well though I've never been sure why it happens. It looks like you're opening the swf through a browser to so, for want of a solution, the easiest workaround is the edit the html file.
open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
Five or six lines down you'll find the title element which defines the title as it will display in your browser titlebar: <title>This text is the title that displays in your browser title bar</title>
Just change the text the the title you want and save the html file.
If you go with this solution, I suggest that when you are publishing the project again you deselect the option "Export HTML" in the publish wondow. Otherwise you will have to edit your html file each time you publish.
Hope this helps.

Advance Search not working in Document Management Task Flow

Hi,
We are using Document management task flow to manage UCM content. The simple search works for us but the Advance search does not work. Does anyone know of any possible reason why this could happen. Any hint would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Salim

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for replying.
So in my scenario when I try to search the content using the simple search which is present at the right hand top corner I get the search result properly. But when I try to search by clicking on the Advance link which gives me a option to search by Filename, Keywords and adding other filters, it always returns zero search results.
Thanks
