Error checking in document to content server

Hi,
While storing the document to content server we are getting "Error while checking in and storing " error. We use ECC 6.0 Request any inputs where to trace this error.
Thx.
Anirudh,

Hello Anirudh,
i assume that you get this error only after you click on the save button.Before clicking on the save button i assume you had checked in the original.
Suggest you to put start the debugger using "/h" and then click on the the Save button. Once the debugger opens, put a break point on the "Message" using the debugger. And start debugging using F8 key. When the control stops at any message statement , just have a look at the content of the internal table filled before the Message stmt. It would help you to figure out the exact cause of the error message.
Seeing the error message , i think that in your case it might be that signature are not sent from your system to the content server.
You can see the details about the signature associated to he content repository from the "csadmin" transaction. if you have any problem with regarding to signatures, just check if you have any active signature. I think there is not active signature, just select one signature and activate the signature.
If the problem still exists and it maps to the content server, contact your content server admin.
Hope this helps you out, Best of luck.

  • Error when viewing documents from content server

    hi all,
    I have a question.
    we have installed an SAP Content Server on Windows 2003 server, and have connected it to our SAP ECC 5.00 ERP.  The purpose is so that documents that are attached to a transaction (through Generic Objects Services - Create Attachment), get stored onto the content server rather than the SAP database.  We have done all the necessary configuration in oac0, oact, and SKPR08.  We are able to attach a document to the transaction, and it gets stored onto the content server.  Our issue is when viewing the attachment. 
    This is the error we are getting as soon as we try to view the attachment:
    "Windows cannot find c:\documents and settings\<username>\SAPWorkDir\<filename>.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
    After pressing OK to the message, the system then gives this error:
    "File could not be exported
    Message no. SO315
    Diagnosis
    You have selected either the Export function or a PC document to be exported from the system. The file could not be exported to the
    PC. Possible reasons:
    1. The file is already open and is being used by an application.
    2. The directory to which the file is to be exported is write-protected.
    Procedure
    In the first case, close the application.
    In the second case, remove the write-protection attribute from the directory or enter another directory."
    Why is the system trying to open the file from the user's C:\ drive?
    Does anyone have a solution to this error?
    Cheers,

  • Store document into Content Server

    Dear All;
    l have the following requirement for Content Server;
    - Generate the PR/PO form via print program.                         
    -Approver's signature will be display accordingly by the approval level.               EG:  1st level approver 'A' have been approved. Signature of approver 'A' will be display on the generated PR/PO form.                                        - Convert the generated form into PDF format.                         -To attach the supporting document via Generic Object Services (GOS).               -To store the PDF form & attached documents into Archived Link content server with URL address returned.     
    -An notification mail will send to respective approver based on release strategy configuration.     
    Basically it is Workflow integrate with Content Server.  There are few thing for me to do here:
    1. Store the PO/PR document into Content Server
    2. Run the workflow and view the attachement and add new attachement to Content Server from the Workflow process.
    3. Return the URL address to the user for the document that saved into Content Server
    l'm trying to do the first requirement now.
    The user will create the PR in tcode ME52N and PO in tcode ME22N, they can create the attachement and view the attachement, and the attachement are stored in the ECC6 database.
    l have installed the Content Server 6.40 with Filesystem (not the MaxDB) cause user do not want to buy the MaxDB license.
    The Content server 6.4 installation is completed, l can configure the CSDMIN in ECC6,
    In OAC0, l have created the Content Repository=ZA,
    Document Area = ARCHIVELINK
    Storage type = 04 HTTP Content server
    Version=0046
    Http Server = 10.120.0.10
    Port Number = 1090
    HTTP Script= ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
    Transfer drctry =
    10.100.0.10\cm\exdir   /# \cm\exdir is a directory in Content Server. #/
    the physical directory created in the Content Server as
    10.120.0.10\cm\za
    In OAC2, l have created a new Document type=ZCS, the document class=PDF
    In OAC3, l have created the following:
    Object Type= BUS2012, Document Type= ZCS, Link=X, Cont.Rep.ID=ZA, Link=TOA01, Rentention=99
    Object Type= BUS2105, Document Type= ZCS, Link=X, Cont.Rep.ID=ZA, Link=TOA01, Rentention=99
    (Honestly, l'm not quite sure the BUS2012 will work, it created by functional team, which l'm sure it actually represent the business object for PO and PR)
    With these, l think the linkage between business object and logical archive is established, but when l saved the attachement in ME22N and ME52N, the document still save into ECC6 Database, not the Content Server, because in the /cm/za directory in the Content server still empty.
    Anyone please advise any documentation/steps do store the document in Content Server from PO/PR and with returned URL to the users.
    Please help..
    Many thanks
    Jordan

    Dear all;
    Thanks for the information, l manage to store document actually.
    l used the OAAD to test to stored, once it is working, then l can use the option 'Store business document" ME23N and ME52N transaction code.
    One question here l would like to check:
    The WorkFlow team said that the Generic Object Service (GOS) - "Create Attachement" option in ME23N can actually store the document to Content Server instead of store into R3 Database.  He claimed some Basis have done it before, can anyone clarify if it is true?
    In OAC0, l have ZB Content Repository, set the "Storage Type = 04 HTTP Content Server" in order to save the document to Content Server.  The Document Area=Archive Link.
    With these setting l can only use the "Store Business Document" option to store the document to Content Server, not the "Create Attachement".
    l try to change the Document Area with different option like DMS, BDS etc but l can't get the Content Rep ID for ZB in OAC3 to link the Object Type?
    Anyone can help?
    Many thanks.

  • How to see documents checked-in to SAP Content Server ?

    Hi ,
      I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I did not find anything more pertinent.
    We have a scenario in ECC 5.0 which we are attaching PDF/etc document to SAP DMS Document records in Tcode CV01N/CV02N . Subsequently we check-in those originals to the SAP Content Server. All this is working just fine as the underlying settings for the content repository in Tcode CSADMIN is appropriately set.
    Is there a way to monitor how many and which documents have been checked in to the SAP COntent server. In the 46C/47 days, we used to go to Tcode OAAD and get a count & list of all documents that have been shipped to a content repository. In the scenario for SAP Content server, I'm unable to use this tcode to get the information.
    Is there another tcode that will give me the information on the documents linked to the Content Server ?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Access Denied Error while uploading document in UCM server

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6 and my application is build on ADF faces stack.
    I am using Oracle UCM for storing and retrieving documents and that content id is stored in my database, which i use to interact with UCM.
    My UCM server is on an ip which starts with 10.184.*.*, when i tried uploading/downloading a file from a client machine which has the ip starting with 10.184.*.*, then it is fine, but when i use a different client machine which has the ip starting with 10.180.*.* or anything else apart from 10.184, then am getting an error like "Permission denied. Address '10.180.218.230' is not an allowable remote socket address"
    Any help on this highly appreciable.
    Regards,
    Vinothgan AS

    Hi Vinothgan,
    You need to add the new IPs to the IP Address Filter via Enterprise Manager. Here are the steps.
    1. Login to EM
    2. Navigate to Webcenter->Content->Content Server
    3. Select the Content Server instance
    4. Choose 'Configuration' option form the Content Server menu
    5. Add the new IPs to the IP Address Filter
    6. Restart the webcenter content manager server
    Alternately
    1. Browse the Webcenter Content installation folders
    Ex: OracleWC\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ecm_domain\ucm\cs\config
    2. Edit the config.cfg file
    3. Append the new IP to the configuration variable SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter (Ensure it is pipe seperated '|')
    4. Restart webcenter content server

  • Timeout when retrieving document from Content Server

    Dear experts,
    after the migration of an R/3 Enterprise system with a file-based Content Server (CS without database) we experience significant delays when a document shall be retrieved from the Content Server and displayed.
    The repository, from which documents are retrieved, has the following properties:
    Document Area = ArchiveLink
    Storage Type = HTTP content server
    Obviously the delay is caused by time-outs when R/3 tries to access the content sever.
    The RFC trace recorded during the document retrieval contains the following entries:
    Trace file opened at 20100825 104048 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3
    Trace file opened at 20100825 104115 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3

    I wonder why R/3 first attempts to contact the Content Server via the SAPCMS RFC destination rather than using HTTP (SAPHTTP)? - The connection tests for both RFC connections are successful.
    Is there a way to instruct R/3 to go via the SAPHTTP RFC destination as the first choice and NOT via SAPCMS when documents shall be retrieved and displayed?
    Thank you,
    Rainer Walter
    Edited by: Rainer Walter on Sep 3, 2010 3:07 PM

    Hi Ravindra,
    thank you for looking into this problem. The Content Server is not based on SAP DB/MaxDB. The repositories are represented as plain directory structures in a file system.
    My issue is that R/3 is not using the SAPHTTP RFC connection as first choice although the repository is flagged as "HTTP Content Server" but uses another RFC destination instead. When this attempt is timed out, R/3 eventually picks the appropriate RFC destination. So it takes a considerable amount of time until a requested document is finally retrieved from the repository in the Content Server.
    I am confused because the system where I experience this behaviour has been built from a system copy of a production system, and the Content Server for this new system has been built from scratch. In the original production system, no timeout is found when users are retrieving documents, and obviously the original R/3 system is using SAPHTTP right away. The original production system and the new system built from a system copy are accessing different Content Servers.
    I am looking for a way to instruct the new R/3 system to immediately use the SAPHTTP connection when talking to the Content Server, and I would be grateful for a hint where I can configure this to get rid of these timeouts.
    Best regards,
    Rainer

  • Storing document on Content Server - SAP DB or Filesystem?

    Hello everybody.
    I have questions regarding the Content Server and need your expierence and recommendation. Where do you store documents on the Content Server? Are you using the standard SAP-DB, which can be installed together with the Content Server, or are you using the File-System? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
    What do I have to do to store the documents in the File System? Is there an documentation?
    Thanks and Regards.
    Tobias Karl

    Hello Tobias,
    Storage on the filesystem has the advantage to use existing clustering raiding and hierachial storeage systems for storage and you dont have to implement those features in the database. The advantage would be documents can be found indepentendlly from the ERP-Sysem.
    DB Advantages
    All data (documents, folders, and metadata) is stored in the database.
    Database is much better suited than file system to the administration of large amounts of data
    Databese is limited to size 64 TB, then additional database needs to be installed 
    If there is a large number of write requests in your CM usage scenario, set up the CM repository in database mode. Since all documents are stored in the database, this avoids unintentional external manipulation of the data.
    Another advantage of storing all data in the database is that the procedure for data backup and restore is easy since only the database needs to be backed up
    File System Advantages
    This is faster than the database option if you have large documents since there is no database data streaming. This also enables the size of the database to be controlled more easily since documents are stored in the file system.
    File systems are not transactional, so this has restrictions and affects performance. If read and write operations take place for one document in the file system at the same time, these operations have to be coordinated by the repository manager. This happens by recording both write accesses and read accesses in the database. This affects performance.
    Metadata (for example, locks or custom properties) can be lost if you edit or manipulate documents or folders directly in the file system. Only administrators should work in the file system, and they should only carry out mass operations such as copy and delete
    For a scenario with write accesses, cannot ensure consistent data backup and restore. This is because changes to the folder structure in the file system could be made in the time between the two actions. This would lead to inconsistent data following the restore process. Consistent data backup and restore can therefore be ensured only if read accesses alone are taking place
    There are CM repository managers can be set up in various modes i.e Persistence Mode to save the documents  as follows:
    1) DB Mode All data is stored in the database
    2) DBFS Mode Metadata and folders are stored in the database, but documents are stored in the file system
    3) FSDB Mode Folders and documents are stored in the file system, but metadata is stored in the database.
    If you wish to change the settings you can do it but with some restrictions which follows as:change of the persistence mode is possible only from the DB mode to the DBFS mode. Changing from DB to FSDB, from FSDB to DB/DBFS, or from DBFS to DB/FSDB is not possible.
    To change the mode if you wish with above restrictions
    1.      Make sure that enough free disk space is available to migrate the content from the database to the file system.
    2.      Change the configuration of the CM repository manager. In the Root Directory parameter, specify the path to the file system that the documents from the database are to be stored under. Change the entry in the Persistence Mode parameter from DB to DBFS.
    3.      Restart the application server.
    4.      Run the CM Store: Content Crawler report
    Please check the follwoing notes on backup and restore:
    Note 1000150 - Backup of KMC configuration
    Note  1000351 - Restore of KMC Configuration Backup Archive.

  • Email link to document in Content Server from SDV

    Experts,
    We would like to email links to documents stored on our Content Server while viewing them in the SAP Document Viewer.  These documents are ArchiveLinks to invoices.  When we use the 'Send object with note' button in SDV, the email sent contains a text file which has information about the invoice, not the document we are viewing.  Does anyone know if what we are try to do is possible?
    - Andrew

    Hello Andrew,
    You can right-click in open space to the right of the bottom row of icons to change the icons. Next select MORE TOOLS. In the File Toolbar, check the box for Email and this should solve the problem. Why SAP did not default this checkbox I will never know.

    This should be the value of IntradocServerPort for IBR server .
    By default it is 5555 .
    Replace 16250 with 5555 (if you have not changed it ) .
    Save the changes , restart UCM managed server .
    Test to see if the error shows up .
    Hope it helps .

  • KM Repository to Store Documents on Content Server

    Dear All,
    We are running on EP 7.0 and having a content server 6.0.
    Currently our KM documents are stored on Portal Database
    I want a repository where i can get all KM Functionality and Uploaded document should be stored in external content server instead of PortalDB.
    Physical location of file should be on Content Server
    Please suggest me Process Steps
    Regards,
    Tushar Dave

    Hi Tushar,
    In KM, the repository Managers can be comfigured to connect to other external servers.Like if you have external file servers or webDAV servers, you can connect those with SAP KM and the contents of the external servers are available through the KM.
    SAP KM have some predefined repository managers for all those. If you want to refer those repository managers, then
    GOTO System Adimistration>Sys configuration>KM-->repository managers
    There you can find number of standard repository managers provided by SAP for diffrent type of external servers.

  • Error executing CIS APIs on content server

    Hey jogeo,
    Are you getting any errors in your content server logs? Or in the Server System Output?
    I've seen a similarly vague error from the CIS api's when either my content server wasn't running, the conneciton to the content server db had timed out, or I didn't have my SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter set correctly in config.cfg.
    If you could post any errors from the two places I mentioned above we could probably narrow down the issue.

    You can find it in SE80->package->cvaw->BSP library->BSP application->CVAW_VIEW_DOCFILE.
    CVAW_VIEW_DOCFILE is part of package Webdocument, BSP application for Display and manage DMS Original Files.
    If you don't want to use BSP, yo case copy BSP ABAP code in a RFC Function Module for download file content to PHP Server.
    Best Regards,
    Chris
