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.

Requirements for a document management system

We are planning to implement a document management system Oracle Application Server. Here are the high-level requirements:
· High availability (24x7)
· 3000 users, worldwide, on WAN
· 600 GB of documents
· Workflow
· Alerts e-mailed on document adds/updated, for workflow
· Search of document titles, properties, keywords, content
· Daily backup of new/updated documents
In regards to Oracle Application Server (Portal), can someone provide me the following information:
1. What Oracle AS server architecture would we need to handle the above requirements?
2. What is the Oracle recommended method of scaling up our current Oracle Portal instance in regard to:
a. Capacity
b. Achieving 24x7 availability
3. When documents are stored via an Item upload in Oracle Portal, are they stored in the database or as the actual file?
Thanks a lot,
Lpatnaik

Lot of this features are already implemented in Oracle Portal, Collaboration Suit and Oracle Content Management SDK.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/cm_sdk_9042.html
Generally this products stores documents in database BLOB field.
I personally don't like this approach.
We developed a media library that stores the files in filessystem, but the metadata is in database. The database references to the file in filesystem with a BFile field
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54873
The system is very fast so I think it was a good decision to store the media this way.
If you use this approach you have to create database and filessystem backup also.
Filessystem backup is much faster and there are several very good tools to make an incremental backup.
If you store media in a database you can use Oracle Media types:

Printing documents - document management

Hi,
I have created a word document (stored in document management) and linked to customer master and material master.
Our requirement is this word document needs to be printed when a user prints Bill of Lading document from delivery note. How to print a document (stored in the document management) that was linked to a customer or material master. In the customer master or in the material master or in CV02N, I tried to print the document but it is not printing. It just opens in a word document.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shiva.

Hi Christoph Hopf,
Thank you very much for your response. I have already maintained an entry for print (type 3) in DC30 and assigned path and program name as C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.exe %f
Per your suggestions, I checked Tools -> folder options -> File types -> DOC -> Advanced and I could find an entry for "Print".
When I try to print the document from CV02N using print button, the application is opening in a word document, but it is not printing. I checked my system and a defualt printer is set-up. Should I need to tell in SAP configuration as LOCL printer?
Also my requirement is when I print BILL OF LADING documents from deliveries, the documents associated with material object, customer object and customer material objects pertaining to the delivery need to be printed.
Can I use the STAT output condition type to acheieve this? I could see messages in the CV02N, but it is not highlighted. I maintained STAT records (mail output) but still the messages is not highlighted in CV02N.
I appreciate your help.
With regards,
Shiva

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

hi
try with this
SAP DMS - Document Management System
SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.
With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems.
Installing the SAP DMS requires a little bit of planning on how you want to do it.
You have to give a little thoughts to stuff such as :-
1. The total numbers of documents that will be store monthly.
2. The average file size of each documents.
3. The capacity of your present R/3 system.
4. Your present network bandwidth.
5.   Document Archiving Strategy.
6.   Backup and Recovery Plan.
Additional purchasing of hardware are required, especially if you have large amount of documents to stored.
With this in mind, you can then decide on how you want to do it.
You can do this in a few ways :-
1. Import the documents into the R/3 system.
2. Use an external document server.
3. Have a dedicated PCs where all the documents are stored.
Most companies that intend to used DMS will opt for Option 2 as they does not want to overstretch the R/3 database.
Options 1 requires you to setup the conversion interface.
The conversion interface allows R/3 to automatically covert your files and import it into the R/3 database.
Here is a simple example of storing documents into your PCs, just to have a feel how the SAP DMS works:-
For those using Citrix, you have to set this at the Citrix Server where the SAPGUI is located.
Configure SM30 - V_TDWE_C1
Put this command in your autoexec.bat
SET HOSTNAME=PC1234
Restart your pc.
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
   choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.
all the best

Document Management (DMS) in SharePoint

Hello All, I'm preparing to setup SharePoint 365 Online to store documents. We're a small law firm and would like the features Document Center has to offer. Can someone provide links on an Overview, Samples and Instructions.
I found a very information video on Youtube but it doesn't get into details. I can't even find the Document Management/Center temple?
Thank you,
aam

You can create a library or a list for each associated law firm entity such as:
Law file
companies
Books of laws
You specify the metadata of each library by creating the necessary columns, and the specify your library settings (versioning, permissions).
Regarding Information Management: Retention Periods , if is required you can check the guide provided above, also u can benefit from the auditing feature of SharePoint.

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

Interface between SAP and Document management system

Hi,
I have a requirement to interface SAP 4.7 with a Document management system(Fakta).A vendor invoice will be created in SAP using FB60 transaction.The vendor invoice(in paper form) will be scanned by the Fakta digital document system.The Fakta system will handle the approval process for the vendor invoice and update the status of invoice in SAP as APPROVED.
My requirement is when an SAP user wants to see the scanned invoice stored in the fakta system,he should be able to view it from SAP preferably from FB60 or the document overview for the invoice in SAP.What is the best way to do this.
I found one option of using RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER which may not be useful as we think.Is there a better option available?
Please share your experience.
Thanks in millions,
Leo

Hi
I'm sorry but I've never worked on this problem, but I think the better solution should be use SAP Archivelink, I know It should do what you want.
