Indicator for Generic Object Services

We are planning to use the Generic Object Services functionality to
attach Word, Excel or PDF files to existing documents in SAP. Our plan
is to use this in Accounts Receivable. The issue we have is when we
are looking at the open items for a customer using transaction FBL5N
there is no way to know which open item has attachments. Once you've selected an open item, you can view any attachments but this does not help. I posted an OSS notes and they replied "We regret to inform you that the function you require is not included inthe SAP standard system." Does anyone know how I pursue this to have SAP develop this functionality?
Thank You,
Sue Rademacher

While this is probably answered best in the ABAP forum, by doing a search on Generic Object Services in all forum categories, I found a number of answers about enhancements with this functionality. Re: How to link proces modeling to execution of services are found in this forum thread.

Configuring KPRO for generic object services

Hello,
I have a requirement where I have to configure KPRO as the storage for generic object services. We are using the generic object services for materials and hence using the Business object BUS1001. Please let me know of how to do the same or if we have any documents for configuring the Generic object services and KPRO please provide me the same.
Regards
Nilanjan

Hi,
i reply to the question you posted in my thread:
I solved the request without using Kpro. Kpro ist just a more comfortable way in managing documents. But using ArchiveLink and GOS is all you need if you just want to upload documents and view them in a linked transaction. I would be able to give you a better help if you would give a short introdcution in what you plan to do in detail.
kind regards Matthew

Authorization for generic object services - GOS - payroll data

Is there anyway to restrict what people see via GOS? I can't see any authorisations behind it except S_OC_ROLE. Seem users can view payroll details of a workflow agent in the workflow logs(view with technical details). Its a wild shot that an end user will find this information in the container tab but it look like a massive security flaw.
I will be interested to know if others have the same problem and how they resolved it.
Thanks

This issue relates to authorisations. Depending on infotypes available to the user, they will be able to view data relating to the info type.
I will now have to review all authorisations to ensure there is no unauthorised access.

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services in IQS1 Transaction

Hi All,
My requirement is users will create the notification through IQS1 and they will attach the Adobe document through Generic Object service. In the notification Task, they will assign the repsonsible person for that form. Once they released the notification, i need to send a mail to the responsible person. I got the BO (BUS7051) . I created the custom WF and acitivated the BO & WF link. When i selected the Workflow Overview in the Generic Object Serivce, it is saying 'There are no workflows that have already worked with this object'. But when i checked the is worklow log in SWIA, my workflow got triggered.
I would like to know why it was not showing when i selected the same in Generic Object Serivce. How to trigger Workflow throuhg Generic Object Service.
Any info relevant to this, please share with me..
regards,
sasi

Hi,
For generic object services to find the workflow, the object must be attached to the workitem/workflow or used in the container.
If the object is correctly used in the workflow, it will be visible via GOS.
How did you use the object in the workflow?

Generic Object Services with SAPGui Classic Theme

Dear Experts,
the button for Generic Object Services is available in different transactions like VA03, ME23N, etc. We are facing now the problem that if a user has in his SAPGui the "Classic Theme" choosen the button for the GOS is not visible. The services can be only accessed through the menu (System->Services for Object)
With other SAPGui Themes the GOS button is visible.
We are using SAP Logon 720 Patch-Level 4.
Thank you for your help.

Milan

Hi again,
Thanks for the answers, they were very helpful,
but the customer isn't happy with the "Store business Documents" and it's Drag n' drop interface.
I'm to develop a new GOS menu item, that will show
a normal Open File dialog, and a following popup
where the user can change the document title shown
in the Attachment list.
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE
along with ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT should probably
cover the functionality I need.
I know both the BOR type ID and the object ID is
available to me in the Execute() method of the GOS menu handler I'm overriding, but for the ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, I'm supposed to supply an AR_OBJECT parameter (I know that this information is stored in the TOAOM table), but I have no clue where to get this information for the current object I'm trying to add an attachment for.

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.

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 ).

Generic Object Services for Custom Object Type

I would like some advice please. I am not an ABAP Developer but I would like to enable the generic object services for transaction PP01 for a custom object type.
I have searched for information, which suggests that the object needs to be published using the function module SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH so that it is available in the Business Object Repository. If this is correct, please could someone tell me (in simple terms) how I can do this (with the assistance of an ABAP developer)?
My colleague did some debugging which seemed to suggest that in order for the generic object services to be available, the field OBJTYP needs to be populated in table T778O. Is this correct? If so, how should this be done?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Corinne

Hi,
i'm also looking for the solution you have asked for.
if you know how to do it please reply me with the solution.

Generic Object Services - View Attachments disabled for non admin user

Hi,
I am using SAP 4.7 and the attachments created using table TOA01 - archive link are visible to an administrator user through Generic Object Services toolbox while same View Attachments option appears disabled for other non admin users.
Kindly help !

Hi Neha,
I'm sorry I don't have answer to your question but I wonder if you could help me.
I'm looking at OSS note 530792 to configure GOS 'create attachment' option to copy the attachments to the archive server. currently, these are written to the SAP office tables SOC3, SOFFCONT1, etc and I want to use the archivelink and SAPHTTP and copy to the archive storage.
Have you successfully managed to configure your system since you mentioned TOA01?
In the same GOS menu I've activated the 'Business document' option and can copy these to the archive server by correctly configuring OAC2 and OAC3.
I'll really appreciate of you could please share your knowledge.
Thanks.

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

Adding Generic Object Services attachments to PRA trans O3U_DO3

I would like to add the generic object services attachment menu that is found in vf02 - invoice create to the production and revenue accounting module transaction O3U_DO2/O3U_DO3 Maintain/Display DOI Owners. I need the ability to attach external documents through archive link to this transaction. If not possible with generic object services, any other suggestions on how to attach the documents is greatly appreciated.

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.
