Document template in UCM

Hi,
I want to make it possible for the users to create documents from a template e.g a MS word document. The template should of course be checked in and not writeable (only readable) to avoid that users change/modify the template.
We are using UCM11g, DIS 11.1.1.4 and Webcenter Spaces 11g PS3.
Anyone have an idea how to create new MS-documents from a template?
Cheers,
Ibrahim

First of all, to my best knowledge, UCM has no out-of-the-box features to create documents - with exception of documents that are produced as results of conversion, or XMLs as results of form submission.
In theory, you could clone a content item (I think you'd need a custom component for that); that is, copy the existing metadata/content to a new one that could be later modified as needed.
Anyone have an idea how to create new MS-documents from a template?What's wrong with using MS Office apps to do that for you? You could enhance you cloning component to use a template, rather than a blank document, if you really want to do it from UCM.

Automatic Creation of Documents using Document Templates in UCM

Hi,
We need to cater following requirements in my project and we are using Oracle UCM 11g.
1. Can we create documents automatically using some document templates? i.e. Auto-generation of documents based on message input and templates.
2. Can we enter free text into some areas of the documents available in UCM repository? And can we enter that new text parts in to UCM library?
3. Can we automatically create printable pdfs in UCM?
Please guide me how I can achieve these functionality in UCM.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi,
When you do transfer postings, SAP will set the batch number same as the one from which you are issuing the stock. To avoid this you can set the creation of batch to B (Automatic/ Manual with check in user exit)
You need to use following user exit at batch creation
EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001
EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002
Hope this helps, reward if useful,
Best Regards VS

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!

How To Add Line Items to Workflow Document Template

Hi Gurus,
ive made a Workflow which has few containers referencing VBKPF, VBSEGS, and constructed two methods which one of them gets the table VBKPF data into MyStructure and the second the data into MyStructure2.
Inside of the workflow i made two container operations and assigned those two methods to VBKPF and VBSEGS containers.
The Problem is that VBSEGS is a (multi) line item table and it doesnt show me the data inside of the document template.
What could be the solution for this scenario
Thanks, Points for Reward

Hi,
i checked the swo1 methods and it looks good. I didnt change the binding that ive implemented, and some values are getting showed, but still they do not correspond to the BO element (concerning Acct.Doc.Nr)
My binding is:
Display Document Task:
#######Workflow -> Step Display Parked Doc
**************BO FIPP -> &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
#######Workflow <- Step Display Parked Doc
**************Empty
Document Template:
#######Workflow -> Step Create Doc From Template
**************&_WORKITEM& -> &FLOWITEM&
**************DC8BA2ADFCEA4EF18D2F00145EDCE7A4 -> &TEMPLATE&
#######Workflow <- Step Create Doc From Template
**************&WF_DOCUMENT_0001& <- &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
**************&_WF_INITIATOR& <- &_WI_ACTUAL_AGENT&
As ive explained earlier i have a Container VBSEGS with abap table vbsegs, which is filled using method ReturnMe2 with MyStruct2 structure.

Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library. We now need to edit one of these document templates.
We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
Can anyone please assist?

Hi,
As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
How do you edit the document template?
Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

Error while creating Document Templates

Hi Experts,
Am getting an ActiveX error while trying to create a document template designer using a webservice I created in the WST. I have consulted note 1018674 and ensured that the following browser settings are activated but still I keep getting the error.
- Active Scripting
- Run Active X Controls and plug-ins
- Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
Also, since I had been trying to create a microsoft word type of template the system does open an instance of the word doc. Can anyone pls advice?
How can we ensure that the webservice we have created is working. When I try to test the service in the WST tool, I keep getting the message - URL cannot be retrieved. Does it mean that the service has not been created correctly?

Check if you done all the following settings...
.NET Framework-reliant components:
○     Run components not signed with Authenticode ® Enable
○     Run components signed with Authenticode ® Enable
ActiveX controls and plug-ins:

Grouping of document templates created in template designer

Hi,
we use document templates when creating activities. We have defined profiles for document templates and assigned them to transaction types. Now when I create activity type "A" I can use for attachment only templates defined on profile which is assigned to activity type "A". My question is if it is possible to do more detailed grouping based not only on tranaction type but based on other attributes of activity, for example "reason".

Careful with the recommendations for XPAAJ. There are specific restrictions around whether you can
use XPAAJ or not. Specifically, you have to own a copy of one of the server-based LiveCycle
products. This does not include LiveCycle Designer, which is a client product.
Maybe someone from Adobe can clarify.

How to create a Document Template for "Scanned" PDFs? (Editing isn't necessary.)

I have a Custom Content Type called "Vendor Invoices". It is based off the "Document" Content Type. I would like to create a "Document Template" that will support "PDFs", but the PDFs should always be added via an
"upload" (since these are Invoices that we will be "receiving", there is no need to actually "Create" one). So, I don't need to support "New Document" or the "Drag and Drop" "New Document". I simply
need the users to "Upload" the documents. Although, I have created several Columns for this Content Type (Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Vendor Name, etc) that the user will input when uploading the Invoice (PDF), so I WOULD like the "Document
Information Panel" to appear. Is that only possible by using one of the Office document types?
Any thoughts or ideas on how I might accomplish this?
Thanks!
Shayne

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a pdf content type.
We can use the PDF SharePoint Cumulative Update 1 to achieve this scenario, it allows you to create new PDF template and then deploy it as a Content Type.
There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

When add a people picker (user column) in Word document (un the document Template) and try to add a name it stuck!
Is it a known issue?
keren tsur

Hi,
According to your description, I have tested in my environment and I have the same behavior.
Only if you type the wrong name in the first time, then you click the phone book to search the right name and save, it will stuck. It means if you do other operation(e.g. type the wrong name then click “resolve” button, then search in the phone book) and
repeat the operation above, it won’t stuck.
It is appreciate that you can submit a feedback to Microsoft:

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Document templates with reference not working anymore with CRM2007 on SP7

Since we upgraded our CRM system(v 2007) to SP7 we are facing a serious problem with our document templates. The document templates do not contain any reference anymore (e.g. BP name and address details). This issue is a showstopper for the SP upgrade to go live in production.
We have taken the following actions to get it work again but all without any success:
- We have regenerated the webservice again (CRMOST_GENERATION);
- Created the webservice again and generate it (CRMOST_GENERATION);
- Run CRMOST_GENSTATUS_MONITOR for correponding webservice: status OK
-> when debugging /CRMOST/Z_D007_READ I see in table LT_MESSAGES: "Invalid mainobject: GDCOIRoot
Also, we investigated SAP note: 1329961 and notes related to CRM-BF-COM in SAPKU70007.
It looks like a bug in the new programming. When using standard SAP mainobject GDCOI no reference is taking into account anymore.
To visualize the issue for you, I will describe for you the steps how we can reproduce the issue:
- Within Account ID we identify an account and confirm account;
- Now when we create a service ticket we can enter some additional information in fields;
- We save the ticket and select the "Create a new letter" icon and select a document template;
- Now Word with XML is openened but WITHOUT taking any reference from confirmed account and service ticket.
I can not imagine we are the only customer with CRM2007 on SP7 and is using document templates who is facing this issue.
I really would appreciate it if anyone could help us in any way.
Regards,
Harrië

I had the same problem and solved it by doing this 2 stepa:
1. Run report CRMOST_CREATE_PACKAGE, because after upgrade, package $WS_BOL_GEN is missing.
2. Run report CRMOST_GENERATION to generate webservice again.
Regards.

Document templates not visible in Complaints transaction

Dear CRM gurus,
CRM 5.0
I created an MS word document template using tcode CRM_KW_TEMPL in CRM 5.0 for the business object type BUS2000120 which is a complaint. However, after saving the template when I go into CRMD_ORDER for creating a complaints transaction type & try creating a new document based on the template, the name of the template is not shown in the window which opens up for selecting the template.
I have done the background config for setting up the document template profile, folder template & assigning these to the transaction type header. Can someone please let me know what could I be missing?
Thanks
Ritwik Sharma

Please confirm if you see URL as http:localhost:99/_layouts/images. or http//:localhost:99/_layouts/images.
Is it same behavior on all sites or just 1 site
What do we see in Fiddler traces
Did you made any changes in DOCICON.XML
or some where else
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Web Service in Document Template Designer not showing

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new document template but the dropdown list is not showing any results even though we have web services that are active and productive.
If I enter the name manually I am getting a "Please enter a valid Service definition name" error message.
Has anybody seen this issue before?
Thanks
Gregor

Hi,
I was also getting same error once...However i was able to see my web service definition in F4. Selecting from F4 list was working fine but if i entered the name mannually, i was getting the same message as you got...may be its a Bug..
Just to assist you, Have to activated the webservice from SICF before going for deployment using template or Adobe ?
Just check if you have maintained the webservice in SICF.
Thanks & Regards,
