Leveraging cFolders Generic Objects and Object Categories

When a new document is created in cFolders, e.g. by an external partner, and this document needs to be imported in SAP R/3 is it possible to enter all the related object links and characteristics up front in cFolders?
Instead of adding all this data in SAP R/3 after importing the document.

You could leverage object categories for the characteristics of the document. The class would be an object category, the characteristics fields within the object category.
For the object links, either you create dedicated Generic Objects for the objects and link to instances of those in the object category maintenance for the document or you leverage only the object categories, but are only able to assign textual information for the objects.
You would need to leverage the available cFolders APIs as well as classification and document (B)APIs for parsing and transfer of this information. This can be either in a stand-alone program or within the export/import transactions CFE02/CFI02 by leveraging the CFX_BI_EXPORT and CFX_BI_IMPORT BAdIs to additionally pass this information over.

Authorization objects in cFolders

Hi Folks,
I would like more clarity on the following authorization object in cFolders.
CFX_APPL - what's the purpose of this object and what are the allowed values for the field APPL_AREA? What is meant by the term "Application area in cFolders" which is the SAP description for this object?
CFX_USER - this auth object has a single field USER_TYPE. Standard SAP roles have the values 'user', are there any other allowed values here and what is their behavior.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
1- the definition of auth. object CXF_APPL is following:
This authorization object is for the cFolders application. If a user has authorization for this authorization object, he or she can make administrative settings.
You can use the following field values (for APPL_AREA):
- 'Network_Definition': Setting up the network, for example, absolute URL or FTP server settings
- 'Content_Definition': Setting up cFolders content, for example, adding generic objects; choosing scenarios to use
- 'Layout_Definition': Setting up the cFolders layout, for example, style sheets
The permitted activites are: 02 Change and 03 Display.
2- The definition of CFX_USER is as follows:
This authorization object is for the cFolders application. This authorization object must be assigned to the user who wants to use cFolders.
The user needs the following field value to use cFolders:
USER_TYPE = User (no other values exist)
I hope this answers your question.

Silvia

Show originally filename in attachment list (generic object services)

Hello everybody,
does anybody know, if it is possible to show the originally filename of a document in the attachment list of generic object services?
If I add more than one document for the same document type in generic object services, I'm not able to distinguish the documents.
When I want to save an attachment to local PC, SAP offers me the originally filename as default. Therefore, the filename has to be saved somewhere...
Thanks for any help or ideas in advance,
Peter

Richard,
Your using the wrong object, I don't have access to an SAP system right now, so I can't tell you what the correct object is, but when it's configured correctly in OAC3 it will not be grey out. Best thing to do it see what the object the program is publishing. This is what GOS is looking for. IFARCH21 is not the answer, unless your using workflow

We need to maintain a history (called audit trail) for the particular asset that has been depreciated using this program. For this audit train we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.
Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that follows the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. how to show this workflow details using Generic Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.
Please let me know should you require more information on this topic.

Instead of copyg the std fm to z, do the following,
1. Go to se37 open FM VIEW_KURGV in display mode.
2. Click on the spiral icon on the top.
3. Then in menu go edit->enhancment options -> show implicit enhancement
4. """""""""""""""""""""" kind of lines will appear in the cde, just rt click on the line at the place u want to insert the code and select
enhancement implementation create.
5. Give apropriate name for thi , it will inset a n place to write your code.
This is an std sap methodology and is supported in upgradde also.

You haven't explained what object and object key you're using, nor have you provided any indication of how you implemented the GOS attachment functionality. You need to provide more information to resolve an issue like this.

Hi,
Welcome to the SDN Forums!!!
You need to supply the PC file extension in the container element 'DOCUMENTTYPE'.
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' p_msgtyp.
In your case change the above statement as below:
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' 'pdf'.
<b>OR</b> change the default value of p_msgtyp to 'PDF'.

Attach Documents to Custom Program Using Generic Object Services

Hi There,
         I created Object type ZGOS and used in the custom program, when i try to attach documents it allows and then shows in attachment list.
        But When I use that program next time that document attached is not available.
Is there any separate save Class or FM available for saving the document to the specified custom program.
I am using following code in the program,
CLEAR obj.
SET OBJECT TYPE TO 'ZGOS'
obj-objtype = objtype.
SET OBJECT KEY = REPORT NAME
SELECT SINGLE name
FROM trdir
INTO obj-objkey
WHERE name = sy-repid.
CALL GOS MANAGER WITHOUT CONTAINER (WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE TOOLBAR)
CREATE OBJECT manager
    EXPORTING
      is_object = obj
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS    = 1.
Thanks in advance.

Events available in Generic Object Services (GOS)?

Hello everybody
Searched around in SDN and also tried to find something useful in our system (SWO1) but can't find useful information on GOS events so I guess it probably doesn't exist?
I'm searching a way to catch GOS events when someone adds, changes or deletes an attachment (URL) in the generic object services of an object, e.g. for a material master (BUS1001006). I'd like to create a change document for this and based on that to trigger some further processing for one of our interfaces.
Anybody out there knowing how to achieve this?
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

There's a couple of BaDIs with GOS names such as GOS_SRV_REQUEST that might help. Otherwise I'd try using SE30 with lots of logging options set on to trace where you may be able to grab this info from. GOS subscriptions may be another thing to look at.

Generic Object Services - restrict toolbar functions?

Hello,
When I create a URL link to an object, there is always a 'delete' button in the toolbar of the attachment list. Apparently, there are no authorization checks being made and everyone can delete this link.
Is it possible to remove this button from the toolbar? Or at least making sure that not everyone can delete the link?
Thanks!

I think you are using CL_GOS* class for this. then
module call_gos_attachment output.

Hello Ashish,
i dont think activating of GOS will solve ur probs..... GOS wont create a WF item ...... try to get some kind of GOS before u do anything in SAP systems.
u can do like this ......
1 create custom screen where u can enter asset details and store in custom tables....and generate one custom doc.number to track.
2. trigger WF when user submits it for approvals.
3.Upon final approvals.--->run BDC to do postings......
4.Give a Option to attach documents to the parking documents. ( that GOS ).
