GOS - Services for Object attachment icon

I may be posting this in the wrong forum, but my question is this. Is the Services for Object button ICON supposed to change colors or something when there is an attachment? How can you tell if there is an attachment for the object?

Thanks for the reply. This is true, what you say. But I was talking about the the Services for Object Icon. I want to know if an attachment exists without having to click on on the button. I would expect the button to change colors or something if there is an attachment.

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.

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: 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,
Elly Leondi

Hello Mauro,
Thanks for yr reply.
That was the problem.
Thanks again.

How to link Employee-Trip with "Services for Object" Attachment.

Hello SAPients.
This is the scenario: I enter the TCode TRIP, enter a personnel number and hit enter, then click on the 'Subsequent Activities' link, then click on the button 'Services for Object', then click on the 'Attachment List' button, I see a list of attachments for the object.
The question is, does anybody knows the table relations to get from 'Employee-Trip' to this attachment list? I know that some of the information I need of the attachment list is stored in table SOOD. But I can't find a way to link from 'Employee-Trip' to the attachment list in SOOD.
Any help will be greatly appreciated <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks .

My workflow is not listed in the GOS (Services for object)

Hello Experts,
I developed a workflow and linked the BO ZBUS2081. This is sub type of standard BO BUS2081. I am using the custom event INVOICEBLOCKED to trigger the workflow. The workflow is triggered propely when the invoce is created (with block) thru MIRO and I can see the workflow in SWEL or SWI6 or SWI14.
But, the workflow is not listed in the services for objects button of the invoice display using MIR4.
If I use the standard event 'BLOCKEDQUANT' as starting event, the workflow is triggered and I can view it in services for object.
In the table SWW_WI2OBJ has all entries about the workflow triggered using standard event or custom event.
How can I make the services for object in invoice list my workflow that was triggered using custom evet?
Appreciate your help.

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 Object (GOS) Attachement List not showing after attachment

Hi All,
I have created a new entry for the Generic Object Service List and this links to a copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE class (Create attachment) with some additional logic. However, after attaching a file, the "Attachment List" does not become available until after I re-enter the transaction. The attachment list is showing the correct attachments.
After some (understatement...) investigation, I found that even if I try and link the new service to a unchanged copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE service in SGOSATTR, it is not working. It is attaching fine, but the "Attachment List" entry in the Services for Object Menu is still greyed out. If I attach the original class CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE to the newly created entry it works fine. e.g. straight after I attach a file to the transaction, the menu entry becomes available.
I can't find where the re-draw of the GOS menu happens and hence can not determine what is going wrong. Does anybody know if this is part of the Kernel or is this actually done in ABAP ?
Am I missing something ? Debugging including system debugging for two days now and can't find it... very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wouter.

Hi Wouter,
I had originally posted to ask if you had resolved this since I was facing the same issue, but then deleted my post when I was able to get it working. Sorry, I didn't mean to initiate a flurry of activity in such an old thread.
My scenario is I created a new GOS service entry in table SGOSATTR using transaction SGOSM. My new service uploads attachments to an external document management system via a call to a RESTful web service. The class I use in the SGOSM entry is a custom subclass of CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE.
I resolved this issue by taking a look at what CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE does in its EXECUTE method. The key bits to refresh the GOS Attachment List with the new attachment are...
raise event commit_required. " if SGOSM has the commit flag checked
raise event service_succeeded
       exporting eo_service = me.
These events tell any subscribers to go do their thing-- which in this case includes a refresh of the GOS Attachment List. So in the EXECUTE method of my custom subclass, after I call function BINARY_RELATION_CREATE, I raise these events...
CALL FUNCTION 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
       obj_rolea     = gs_object
       obj_roleb    = rel_doc
       relationtype = 'URL'
   EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS       = 1.
CASE sy-subrc.
   WHEN 0.
       MESSAGE s043(sgos_msg). " The attachment was successfully created
       RAISE EVENT commit_required.
       RAISE EVENT service_succeeded
             EXPORTING eo_service = me.
   WHEN OTHERS.
       MESSAGE s042(sgos_msg). " The attachment has not been created
ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to you even though your initial implementation was a while back. Thanks for replying to my question though!!
Cheers,
Amy

Display GOS without click on 'Service for Object' button

Please try the following step to figure out.
1) VA03
2) At header of report (on the left hand side of 'Display S/O SysB SDI xxxxxxxxx:Overview' ) has a button called 'Services for Object' (GOS)
3) Click on that then it will popup icon menu set. <--- Want this to be displayed when access VA03 by no need to click the button in 2)
My requirement is I want this popup to be displayed suddenly after I access VA03 (no need to click on the Services for Object button anymore).

Could you please provide me any solution, function, example, similar case, etc. (based on 4.6c)?
Thank you all expert in advance.. I'll be here to provide you more information that need.

I found the solution yet. Let me drop a note to be a memorandum.
(1) Insert code into the last line of form USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT within report MV45AFZZ
PERFORM UNITEXIT_READ_DOCUMENT.
*{ INSERT
*[Display Attachment Service Automatically]
 DATA: lo_myobject TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager,
 lo_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container,
 ls_object TYPE borident. "BOR Identifier
 ls_object-objkey = vbak-vbeln.
 ls_object-objtype = 'BUS2032'.
 CREATE OBJECT lo_myobject.
 CALL METHOD lo_myobject->start_service_direct
 EXPORTING ip_service = 'VIEW_ATTA'
 is_object = ls_object
 io_container = lo_container
 EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 2.
*[Display Toolbox]
 CALL METHOD lo_myobject->DISPLAY_TOOLBOX
 EXPORTING is_object = ls_object
 io_container = lo_container
 EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 2.
*} INSERT
ENDFORM.
(2) Try open VA03 and insert attachment at Service for Object.
(3) Reopen VA03, attachment list displayed suddenly.

GOS and Services for objects are same?

Hi
Pls clarify my points
Services for objects and GOS(Generic object service) are both same or different?
To my understanding it looks like different as follows
-Service for objects is single icon to click for attachment, can be used only from front end execution.
-GOS is a toolbar kind of icon, have collection of menu inside, can be used for background execution also.
Both functions are different? Pls confirm.
Regards
ckumar

Understood the problem
both are same

Service for Object - GOS

Hello all,
My client is wanting to use Services for Objects (GOS) to store comments about documents, notifications, etc. One disadvantage of GOS is there is no visible way to tell if an attachment has been made. I have been told there was an enhancement to the GOS that if an attachment is made to the GOS, the Icon would change color (or something visible) to indicate there is an attachment. Can anyone help me with this? I have searched OSS Notes but no luck so far.
This site is running SAP version 710 Patch level 6.
Thanks,
Bill

I know this is an old post but for reference, this is what we currently do.
implement badi gos_srv_select, in method select_services
(code snippet)
zstat = cl_gos_attachment_query=>count_for_object( is_object = is_lpor
                                                     ip_url = ' '
                                                     ip_arl = 'X'
                                                     ip_private = ' ' ).
describe table zstat lines znum.
if znum > 0.
    message s888(sabapdocu) with 'At least one note or attachment exists'.
endif.
I'm sure there are many other ways, this works good enough for us.

Hello Fractel,
Are you get rid of this issue?
