Document Management in two parallel projects

Hello SOLMAN experts!
My client has 2 BPH projects running in parallel: Project 1 & Project 2.
Project 2 is a copy of Project 1. Both have project documentation assigned to Business Process Steps.
For Project 1, due to the fact that it is running in parallel to the Project 2, my client needs to have a document management mechanism in place on how to deal with the two deployments in parallel.
Can SOLMAN manage the following: if my client changes a document in Project 1, - the same document will be updated or changed accordingly in Project 2?
Thank you.

Hello Jansi,
Thanks a lot for advice!
Unfortunately my client is quite keen to keep parallel documentation for both projects and do not want to use links, is there other way to update documents in 2 parallel projects?
If my client change a document in Project 1, can the same document be updated or changed accordingly in Project 2?
Kindly please advice,
Thank you & best regards,

Document Management System for Struts Project

I am doing a J2EE project in struts, in which i need to implement document management system containing the following features :
1. File Upload/Download
2. File Sharing
3. Giving Permissions to Files, etc

Project Document Management for Primavera?

Hi,
I made some test with Oracle UCM trying to evaluate if it could be suitable to be used as a Document Management for Projects. My perception after these (short) tests is that UCM seems to be too generalist and too complex to be used in conjunction with Primavera Software: it seems to me that it could bring to an iceberg, being the out of water part quite smaller than the underwater architecture.
I would know if there are some other opinions or guidelines to use UCM or some other Oracle Software with Primavera.
Thanks

I update the post to add some other result. I configured the Content Repository (using JackRabbit) and the Workflow Repository; I saw that there is an option to configure the AutoVue to be accessed by P6 Web.
I didn't find a way to configure the access to JR repository from the PM Client Application. The result is that the WP&Docs Documents are visible from P6 Web in another tab , near the documents in the repository while this repository files are not accessible (Am I right?) from the PM client application.
In my honest opinion, getting access to the repository if still not possible, from the PM client should have an highest priority than enlarging options for P6 Web.
Thanks

Document Management / Full Text Search in Projects & SolMan Directory

Hello experts!
I want to implement Full Text Search in my SolMan and therefore need your help.
I have installed Trex 7.10 and am already able to search within my Solution Database (Problems/Solutions).
Now I want to be able to search within all documents in my SolMan Installation - e.g. Roadmaps, SAP Scenario Descriptions or my own uploaded documents.
In the IMG I already found the section Document Management but I cannot get the needed RFCs (IMSDEFAULT and IMSDEFAULT_REG) working.
There is already a RFC called IMSDEFAULT, which was created during the installation of Trex and runs the
Registered Server-Program: Trex_SOT_20080327090311
I tried to configure my RFCs according to the IMG but, as I said, cannot manage to get them working.
I hope anybody has an idea or an guide on how to implement Full Text Search!
Please be so kind and provide help - thanks in advance!
Best regards
Gerold

Gerold,
I am running into the same issues because we want to do full text search on project documentation within Solution Manager. The default RFC connections IMSDEFAULT_REG and IMSDEFAULT do not work with the standard settings.
We created one index for IWBSOLAR so maybe I also need to check IWBPROJ in SKPR06 for project documentation and create a new index for this one ?
The indexing for IWBSOLAR now fails although there seem to be over 6000 documents marked but none are put in the index. After indexing there is a list of the documents all with code 6401 but cannot find any where what this code means. It seems to be succesful as all entries are green.
Any help/suggestions on this topice would be greatly appreciated.

Can I apply one .css stylesheet to all of my linked word documents inside my RoboHelp8 HTML project?

Hello all,
I am on my fourthRoboHelp8 HTML project, after the other three crashed. I am a technical writer constructing my companies Policy and Procedures Guide. I am only 142 (word documents) and 9 (RoboHelp topics) into my project and there will be plenty more to come. I recently took Kevin Siegel's RoboHelp8 class where I determined that it would be best if I link all of my word documents inside of the Project Manager becuase I will be constantly updating these documents. I've searched around the Adobe Forums, talked to Kevin, and talked to my IT Department, but I cannot seem to find an answer for my problem.
I have linked all of 142 word documents inside of the Project Manager, and all 142 word documents have their own .css stylesheet. I have assigned the default.css stylesheet (which I have assigned all of the proper formatting to headings 1-4 to match headings 1-4 inside of my Microsoft Word 2007 documents) under Project Settings under the Import tab. I also assigned this default.css stylesheet under WebHelp Pro. My understanding with applying the default.css stylesheet to these two places is that all of my word documents and topics should have this stylesheet applied to them.
However, when I look at each individual linked word document the default stylesheet has not been assigned and the word document is still being dictated by its own stylesheet i.e. Credit.css. On my third project, before it crashed, I manually went through all 142 word documents in the Project Manager and assigned the default.css stylesheet to them. I did this by right clicking on the topic, under Appearance, I changed the stylesheet i.e. Credit.css to default.css and clicked apply. I was immediately prompted with the two options: "Preserve modifications to this file" or "Don't show me this message again." I tried both options. The first applied the default.css stylesheet and removed the Credit.css stylesheet, but when I made a change inside of my word document and updated it inside of the Project Manager none of my changes appeared. The second did not apply the default.css stylesheet and kept my Credit.css stylesheet applied to my word document. When I made a change inside of my word document and updated it inside of the Project Manager the change appeared.
I talked about this to Kevin and he said that the individual stylesheet applied to each linked word document did not mean anything, essentially that by making the default.css stylesheet the dominant stylesheet under Project Settings under Import that the stylesheet would be applied to all of my linked word documents/topics. He also suggested that I make a change to the stylesheet like change the color of Heading 1 and link a new word document to see if it applied the changes. I tried doing this inside of my third project, but nothing changed.
I would like to know if I can assign one stylesheet to all of my linked word documents before I get too far into the fourth project and have that project crash on me too. One of RoboHelp's appealing features is to apply one stylesheet to multiple topics, or in my case 142 word documents and 9 topics. I hope that I can apply one stylesheet to all of these linked word documents because having 142 individual stylesheets is unmanageable.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Roxxanne

When a word document is imported into RoboHelp project, RoboHelp generates a separate stylesheet for each word document as each word document may have its own formatting styles. In a generic scenario, word documents may be brought from different sources and may have different styling. Hence, RoboHelp allows users to preserve different styling through sepearate stylesheets.
However, for a different scenario like yours, RoboHelp allows users to override all the CSS and apply a single CSS to all the topics at the generation of output. As you have already mentioned that you have applied default.css in the WebHelp Pro SSL dialog, that should suffice and should meet your requirement of applying a single CSS to all the topics. You can verify the same at your end by linking few word files and generating the output with a single CSS applied in the SSL settings.

Document Management Using TFS?

We are currently using TFS for our software development projects. The developers can check-out/check-in code in Visual Studio, and the testers can create work items in the web interface. This is working like a charm. However, now we would like to expand
our usage. We have a project that consists of a lot of binary files from other applications. We'd like to have version control around these, including check-out/check-in. We need people who don't use Visual Studio to have check-out/check-in capability.
What are the best options for this?
Here are the options I'm aware of, and a bit of discussion around each:
TFS web interface (http://server:port/tfs...) - would be great if it supported check-out/check-in, but it doesn't.
"Team Explorer" - this would work, and is free, but it feels like overkill in our case. I really don't want to have to 1) install it on all user machines, nor 2) train all the users how to use it.
Power Tools Shell Extensions - still requires too much 1) software installation on the client and 2) training
SharePoint - I believe there are actually two possibilities here: 1) using SharePoint exclusively (i.e. no need for TFS, since I understand SharePoint has document management of sorts built-in), or 2) SharePoint integration with TFS. (If that's
not true, please feel free to correct me.) The biggest problem with this route is that our IT department is reluctant to introduce SharePoint into the organization because of 1) greater server demands and added complexity and 2) additional cost.
I think we would prefer a web interface for its simplicity and lack of client footprint, but I'm not aware of a good, simple one with low back-end requirements and relatively low cost. Any thoughts, ideas, and opinions appreciated.
Thanks!
Brad.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your post.
Yes, TFS Web Access not support check in/out, we can only download the files from TFS Web Access.
Yes, uses can use the free Team Explorer to control that files in your TFS Source Control, I think it’s easy to install and use.
Yes, before use this Power Tools Shell Extension, uses need install the Team Explorer on their clients first.
Yes, you can use SharePoint integrate with TFS Sever, then you can create team project portal and store that files in team project portal>>Libraries node(or other place), then users can connect to team project portal from their client, and check in/out
files from libraries node, needn’t install the Team Explorer on their clients.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242883.aspx
Option 2 and 4 are both ok, if you cannot install Team Explorer on each client and want users check in/out files using browser, you need install and integrate SharePoint product with TFS Server. But if you store the files in team project portal, all the
files will store in SharePoint product database(not in TFS database). If you will upgrade or move your TFS Server in the future, you may
need upgrade your SharePoint product and reintegrate it with your new TFS Server again, if you want still use the files which stored in team project portals. If you install the Team Explorer for your users, all the files can store in TFS Source Control
using Source Control Explorer, in this case, all the files stored in TFS database, it’s easy to upgrade or migrate TFS Server in the future.

Exchange rates with two parallel currencies

Hi all,
I need to manage a company with two parallel currencies (USD and PKR). To post a document in USD it's necessary to define in TCURR an exchange rate FROM USD to PKR, and to post a document in PKR it's necessary to have an entry FROM PKR to USD.
Obviously the second exchange rate has to be the multiplicative inverse of the first one.
For this reason, to avoid redundant and possibly wrong entries, is it possible to manage only one exchange rate in TCURR (for example FROM USD to PKR) instead of two? How?
Thanks for your attention

Go to SAP Netweaver> General Settings> Currencies and manipulate the following and you should be able to maintain only one set of exchange rates.
i) go to Check Exchange Rate Type - and manipulate the exchange rate type you are using (Check Financial Accounting Basic settings> Ledgers> Define Currencies for Leading Ledger to check the exchange rate type used for each company code - generally M is used) and assign Reference Currency "Ref.crcy" (for example we use USD) for that exchange rate type.
ii) go to Define Stnadrd Quotation for Exchange Rates and maintain - Forexample we use "Blank" to "USD", so that we just have to maintain Other currencies to USD (ref.crcy) and in In-direct Quotation.
These setting would give you the ability to maintain just "Other Currencies" to "USD" in in-direct quotaion. Use this example to decide which currency you want to use as reference currency and then maintain accordingly.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to install EASY DMS (Document Management System) setup in windows 7

Dear Experts,
Recently we have started a project to establish document management system in SAP. So, i have downloaded easydms7.1sp04 from the servicemarketplace service.sap.com/swdc and setup is successfully installed in windows Xp and unable to install successfully in windows 7.
The SAP is upgraded in our company to release ERP6 EHP6.
In windows Xp the DMS is accessing to all the systems in the landscape( DEV, QAS, PRD).
But, In windows 7 it is only accessing the production system and if creating manually the systems prompting the error about RFC and hosts in windows 7.

Hi Sir,
As mentioned earlier it is prompting me the error
Logon Failed (RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE)
Name or Password is incorrect (repeat logon)
But it is accessing only the production system in windows 7 but not all the 3 systems which are in landscape. I dont know how can it proceed to logon to the production system only with out other systems .
Thanks in advance

Easwar

Conceptual questions with document management and Apex:

Hello Everyone,
I have reviewed or participated in thread discussions focusing primarily on subject matters concerning text editors, spellcheckers and document printing. The reason for this is due to our client requesting the creation of a basic centralized document management system that will enable users to create, edit and print technical documents in a database centric web-based environment. The caveat is that the client would like the same basic functionality that users get from MS Word. I know about FCKeditor or TinyMCE and their associated spellcheckers. What concerns me is that I have not found a possible plug-in to handle tracking changes, no one wants to re-read a large multiple page document again when all they would rather do is just view the changes. I know there are possible database schemas that might facilitate this type of functionality; I am just hoping it is more of a plug-in function.
So with all that being said my dilemma is how to approach the design of such an application using Apex, if that is possible. Some questions I have are:
1. Do design the application where you have a text field that contains the entire document, which could be as many as 25 or more pages?
2. Or do you break down the document in to multiple text fields and then assimilate them in to a single multi page document when printing?
3. Would you store the document data using XML under condition 1, 2, both or not at all?
4. What types of data tables might exist, such as tables for document templates, work-in-process and final documents or something else?
I know there are a lot of other concepts/questions to consider and a large part of the design approach would be based on client requirements. My goal here is to gather different basic conceptual approaches, from forum members, in order to help facilitate a starting point for the project.
By the way I have seen on the Apex Latest Forum Poll, for quite sometime, where Document Management is an application that people would like to see developed. Can anyone from the Apex-team tell me if it is in the works and if so, when?
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
Kyle

Hey Chet,
Thanks for the response; actually I had visited the sample package apps. site awhile back and did not realize more had been added. My problem is that I use Apex 2.1 and not 2.2, so unless there is a way to load the package apps. to the Oracle hosted site, I won't be able to review there design. It would be nice if Oracle tied these package apps. to their demonstration applications sample downloads function in Apex.
As for storing each line of the document in a single record, this was thought of as an initial approach. A concern by the team was how to program the logic to identify specific changed text in say a 5 sentence paragraph and how large the table would become if recording it line by line.
It is still a good approach to consider and we appreciate the input.
Thanks
Kyle
