From ME49 while navigating to ME47 "Services for Object" ICON not displayed

Hello Friends,
I am facing one peculiar issue that when I am Navigating to ME47 transaction from ME49 Transaction i.e. in ME49 Transaction when we double click on the RFQ Number it takes to ME47 Transaction. Here the ICON "Services for Object is being not displayed.
But when I am opening up the transaction ME47 directly for the respective RFQ Number, there I can see the ICON "Services for Object".
Have a doubt why from ME49 when navigating to ME47 the ICON is not being displayed?
Friends please help me in solving the above issue.
Thanks in advance
With Regards
Pradeep Goli

Hi Atkin,
Thanks for the response. Yes, it was the authorisation related issue. I have confirmed this by looking this button in another Users ID with SAP All role.
Best Regards

Services for Objects will not display attachments

Hi Gurus, we are currently set up to display attached documents using IXOS Live Viewer, but only a select number of users have this viewer due to licensing, etc.
The problem is, we have requirements for other users to display attachments in FI documents who do not have IXOS Live Viewer and therefore they are not able to display the attachments because of this. Since we will not pay for more live viewer licences, there must be a way to tell SAP to use the standard windows viewers installed on the machine, if the first choice (Live viewer) isn't installed? I have looked through the customizing for this answer, and I think I've found where it's configured to use live viewer, but I dont' know how to config it to use something else, if live viewer isn't available. Your help would be much appreciated.
Marty

Hi Marty
It is my understanding that the IXOS licensing is based on users retrieving of documents not necessarily the viewer so the licensing implications of having non-IXOS viewers accessing documents using the generic archivelink viewer is still likely to result in licensing implications if an audit is conducted at any stage.
The transaction for specifying the viewer is the OAA3 and OAG4.

Services for object icon missing from APPCHANGE

Hello,
Our services for object icon is missing from the screen of some appraisers. Any thoughts on what could be going on here? We are in 4.7.
Thanks!
Mary

Hi Mary,
Go into the transaction phap_catalog_pa. Select the template you want to change. Then it is the 5th tab-writer.
But as it is most likely released you will need to unrelease it. When documents are created already based on this template you will need to delete them first.

Re: Services for Object Icon

Hi,
Is there a way i can configure the Service Object icon to be available durinng PR (ME51n) and PO (ME21N) creation to appear?
At the moment, this icon can only be use during change/display mode of PR and PO...
.the services for object icon is the one use when we want to attached document,link,sent notes etc..
Pls.help. Thanks
She

Hi She,
The object services require a unique identifier for the object
processed. And this unique identifier of the document
is only created at the moment of save. Exist SAP Note 913251 to enable the
linkage of attachments in the enjoy transactions ME51N and ME21N, but
only from 4.7 onwards.

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

Services for Objects Attachement List Display Note not Viewable

Hi Experts!
Good day! I'm trying to display a note in FK03 (related to Services for Objects - Attachment List) and I only see white screen pop up window. No message and text information. When I tried to use another PC I can successfully view it.
Is there's a plugin that I may need to install?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

How to add the "Services for Object" icon/functionality.

Dear all.
I have seen in some SAP standard transactions a button named "Services for Object" in the title bar of the screen. An example is in transaction MM03. The button is to the left of the title "Display Material xxxx".
Does anyone know how I could incorporate such functionality in my own program.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to use GOS for this.
1. Create a Generic object thru transaction SW01.
then call the following method in the PBO

Accessing attachments from 'services for object'

I have been tasked with extracting data from external attachments from the 'services for object' button. I am working in an sap ecc 6.0 environment. I have not found any tips on how to do this from google searches.
Here is an example. If you look at most of the major documents (purchase order, invoice, delivery, etc.) there will be a little dropdown icon in the upper left corner of the screen
That icon is the 'Services for Object' button. Clicking on it will display a small popup window with several options including one for attached documents.
If an attachment (could be word, excel, pdf, URL, etc.) exists it will show up and can be viewed by double clicking on it. Does anyone know how to access
that attachment programatically?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
Create a subroutine in your program and call the FM: SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH as below:
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH'
    EXPORTING
      objtype           = gc_businessobj
      objkey            = gw_header-vbeln
    EXCEPTIONS
      objtype_not_found = 1
      OTHERS            = 2.
This will automatically display your Services for Object ICON on your report. Here in the FM, gc_businessobj is a global business object = BUS2031(defined as a constant inside the pgm) and gw_header-vbeln can be any valid document no like a sale order, inquiry, quotation etc.
Use this code snippet and this will work.

Services for Object: attached documents/ links cannot be deleted

Dear SAPfriends,
The deletion button at the attachment list of "Services for Object" does not work. Eventhough it seems that the documents/ links/ notes have been removed from the object (i.e. Purchase order, material etc), when you exit and re-enter at the attachment list the documents are still there.
I tried to delete them from OAER, still the same.
Any ideas?
Yr help will be very valuable.
Kind Regards,

Hello Mauro,

How to disable the Services for Object in IW32?

Hi Experts,
May i know how to deactivate the create and delete attachment option if the status of the order in IW32 is already TECO? Please help

I have found my own answer. If your user type is setup as 'Service', you will not be have the "Services for Object" icon on IQS23. If you need the icon to perform the that service, you must change the user type to Dialog from Logon Data.
