GOS objects SAP Archive Link

Hello Experts,
In transaction such as IW21, VA01, etc when we attach documents ( Excel, word, PDf's) in GOS ( Generic Services Objects) the document is stored in the Content repository and has a SAP Archive Link for e.g '&SO_KProObjectID=SOFFLOIO 4A6D66F30E37466EE1000000921B4EDD'
Is its possible to convert this Archive Link into an URL?
OR
Is it possible to read the contents of the document at archvie Link into an internal table???
Kindly help with possible solutions.
Regards,
Mansi.

Hi,
check this wiki [page|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ABAP-SendingGOSattachmentstoanemailaddress]. It contains an example of attaching GOS objects to an email.

Mass upload of documents through SAP Archive Link

Hi Experts,
Our client is having a requirement, to upload legacy (old) data from third party tool to DMS Content server through Archive link. Tool is implemented and it works fine for attaching individual document along with SAP Object like, Purchase Order, material, etc.
We dont have any idea as how to upload bulk of drawings for material, need your advice on this.

Hi,
I am trying to get more info on how to bulk upload employee documentation through SAP Archive Link' OpenText Enterprise Scan into the categories in OAWD. Once the documents are in Enterprise Scan the Administrator needs to link these to the categories in SAP. This is a manual process - is there a way to bulk upload these documentation to the right categories? Since these documents vary I am not sure that OCR will be a help.
Pleae could you help in this regard.
Thank you.

Use of SAP DMS & SAP Archive Link both together

Dear DMS Experts,
I am little bit new to DMS and have very less idea about functionalities and capabilities of SAP DMS & Archive Link.
I have got few questions:
1. Is it possible to use both SAP DMS & SAP Archive link togther.
For example, there are certain objects like GRN, Invoice, Employee etc which are not supported in standard DMS.
However, they are supported in archive link.
But at the same time, there is requirement of setting and resetting of some statuses of the documents attached with PM notification or with PR / PO. This functionality is available with SAP DMS.
So I want to know, is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects.
2. In case of SAP archive link configuration, we need to define link between Object Type, Document type and content repository
in node "Edit Links" under "Basic Customizing" under "ArchiveLink".
Here we can not use all the content repository which we have created normally. But we can use only limited content repository ID.
How does system decides, which content repository id can be used.? Where can i define that.?
3. With SAP archive link, can i store my documents in the same content repository in which I am storing my all the documents with SAP DMS. I mean to say, both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.
We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only.
Would request you all to please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat

..is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects...
Yes,you may use Archivelink for static documents that would be required purely for reference while DMS can be configured to handle documents that are more dynamic in nature (that require status change,version,revisions et-al)
..both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only...
Yes,you may store DMS and Archivelink documents can reside on the same Content Server.Content repository is a logical area/partition,hence you may create one content repository for DMS and another for Archivelink(on the same Content Server).

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
Shanti

Dear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link

We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.
Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
Many Thanks
Claire Crosby-Clarke

Hi,
>Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable >of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.
In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.
We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.
>If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC >Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.

Olivier

SAP Archive Link Creation

Hi All,
I am novice to SAP workflow. i am developing a workflow to process non-PO inovoices (which come as scanned images) into SAP via f-41/f-43. Once the invoice document is posted successfully, i need to create an Archive Link in SAP between the invoice and the scanned image.
Can anybody please explain me or provide me with links to create the link?
Thank you all in advance
Lakshmi Narayana.S

Hi Prabhu,
In my Workflow i am using subtype for the object LIV_IMAGE (ArchiveLink Image Object) and i am importing a unique ID for each scanned invoice along with necessary information for invoice posting. I m triggering INVOICE POSTING using a method (custom created) and in case of successful posting i have INVOICE DOCUMENT NUMBER being returned.
So, I have Unique ID to identify the Scanned Image for the invoice posted and the corresponding Document number generated for it.
Now my actual problem is, I need to link these two so that whenever end user refers this document in SAP via a transaction he should be able to see this scanned image also (using the options)
I have one FM, ARCHIV_WORKFLOW_COMMIT but not sure this is the right one or not?
Hope i am clear with my problem.

Attachment list in ME23N using SAP Archive link not working

Hello Everyone,
We are using Documentum as our document management system and have linked it to SAP through Archive link to link scanned Invoices against purchase orders.
After we run a query to link a PDF document to a purchase order in Documentum and then Login to ECC and tcode "ME23" and display the purchase order->Environment->Display Originals the document attached to the purchase order is getting displayed in Document viewer. But we want to display the document in "ME23N" and also against the Invoice document in "MIR4".
Can anyone please help me in finding a way to display the document in ME23N. I would greatly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Gopal.

Do a search. There are plenty of posts which cover the configuration of DMS and ArchiveLink as separate issues. Its not something you could add as a single post, its an entire module in itself.
On the issue of versioning, some products do support versioning with ArchiveLink but TRIM is not one of them. To get versioning on TRIM, you would need to use SAP DMS using TRIM as a repository. Open Text supports ArchiveLink with versioning with a product called Extended ECM which is designed to give similar functionality to SAP DMS but driven from the Open Text product as opposed to the SAP DMS. I.e. you create documents and publish them to SAP rather than creating them in SAP and storing them in the 3rd party content server.

Hi,
for uploading the photograph you need to do some customization.
1. Initial customization
Execute transaction code OAQ1 and put X in all the boxes.
Execute t code OAB4 and schedule the job
Execute t code SPAD and configure an output device
Execute T code OANR and configure the number range
Execute T code OAGI and deactivate Print list management system
EXecute T code SA38 and execute program RAPARAM and check for rspo/archive_format and make sure it should have 2 assigned on it.
2. Execute t code OAC0 and configure content repository
    Execute t code OAC2 and make your document type
    Assign JPG doc class to your doc type made in OAC2 in t code OAC3.
3. Now go to transaction code OAD5 and configure your settings
   Come to t code OAWD and upload all your scanned photo to SAP
I know the procedure is tedious and lenghthy but there is no way out.
If it helps you then reward it.
Enjoy

SAP Archive Link (Error in opening file for writing)

I am trying to export a file to a folder in the server using a logical path.
The logical path I am using is MARKETING_FILES. I have changed its physical mapping to 'G:\Segmentation_Exports\<FILENAME>'
I am scheduling the program as a background job. But it gets canceled throwing the following error.
SAP ArchiveLink (file G:\Segmentation_Exports\100AC-$100OFF_201105300730 could not be opened for writing)
The problem occurs only in production. In development and Quality servers the program works fine.
In production, when the mapping is changed back to default i.e., <P=DIR_GLOBAL>/<FILENAME>. the program works fine.
Suggestions to solving the issue??
Edited by: qwerty_m on May 30, 2011 9:55 AM

I would check the obvious things first ......
1) Does the directory "G:\Segmentation_Exports" exist on the Production server?
2) If so, does the SAP user have write access to the directory?
3) If so, was a directory inadvertently created with the same name as the output file?
You can also use transactions SM21 and ST22 for more information about the error.

D.

SAP Archive link

Dear Sir
we are using manual storing method,issue is
msg. files ar enot getting opened, which was getting opened successfully before a week,while opening msg file dialog box is coming
in which it is asking for saving the file, cancel the operation and find the program to open the file
previously istead of Find button, open was coming, on clicking on it, file gets opened.
Please guide for the obove
Regards

.... cancel the operation and find the program to open the file previously istead of Find button ...
when you get the "Choose the program you want to use to open this file:" , you select the program/ application with which it has to open & select the option "_Always use the selected program to open this kind of file_" .
So next time onwards, it'll not ask you for choosing the program.
I hope this helps you.

How to retrive data from SAP Archive (from Cluster or Content Table)

Hi,
I am working on HR -ABAP where i have a scenario to retive employee photo and disaplay as output in smartforms.And these employee photo are stored in Cluster table SDOKCONT1 in SAP Archive Link (storage type - SAP System Database).
Anybody can tell me the way how to retrive data ( employee Photo ) from this cluster and display its output in smartform dynamically.
Regards,
Sourabh Shrivastava

Hello Sourabh,
If I am not wrong, there are two parts two your query...
a) Data or Content Retrieval
b) Displaying Retrieved content
Here is my feedback
a) The Content can be Retrieved using the FM ARCHIV_GET_TABLE.
Pass the Archive Object, SAP Object and the SAP Object ID and based on the Connection table entries (TOA*), the underlying Content Repository (T-code OAC0) is determined and a request for synchronous retrieval is made to the Content Server.
b) Display of Retrieved content is normally done through dedicated viewers (Ex: Livelink Viewer) or front-end applications (Excel, Word) based on the Protocol (OAA3/OAA4) specified in the Content Reository Configuration. Hence, to my knowledge, you cannot display the content directly in the Smartform.
With Regards
Vijay Gajavalli

Archive Link Integration

Hello everybody,
we have an custom archive system where we want to develop an HTTP SAP Archive Link Adapter. No problem so far, everything is described in the interface manual.
But one thing is not clear enough:
The HTTP Request "Create" could be realized in 2 ways: via PUT and via POST. There are no problems with the POST way -> Documents with their components will be transmitted via HTTP and Multipart message.
The PUT way is described that only a document with ONE component will be transmitted per HTTP request.
Is it possible that SAP will transmit a doument with more than one component via multiple PUT requests (one request per component)? Or does SAP have the limitation, when sending via HTTP PUT then only one component will be allowed?
I would be very pleased if someone could answer me my question.
With best regards,
Norman Timo Rehl
