Link SAP DMS to Content Server

Hi all,
Im user in SDN community, i saw you responding some question about SAP DMS, i have the following scenario :
1.- I use SAP DMS in this moment and attach files from the server file.
2.- Actually i have KM in the company, here have many document for common use to the company. for instance quality control specification documents.
I need link SAP DMS to KM (Content Server), How can i attach files content in km to SAP DMS from transactions CV01N and CV02N. What´s customizing activitys i need apply?
Best Regards,
Jhonny Mogollón

Hi Jhonny,
in the standard of transaction CV01N or CV02N you see the original area at the bottom tab Document Data or you can navigate directly to tab Originals. Both times you find the same small icons. To add an original you can use whether the CREATE(white sheet) or OPEN button. If you choose CREATE a pop-up window appears where you can enter all original related data (workstation application, description, ). In the path field you can enter the path to the original manually or you can browse for it using the F4 help. Since you select the correct file on your PC or Server please press OK and the path will be entered in the pop-up field automatically.
After you entered all this data and confirm you will return to the CV01N or CV02N screen and see that the original file is added. However the displayed lock sign is still open which means that the original is not checked in at the moment. Please use the small green CHECKIN icon and select a suitable storage category on the next screen. After confirming your selection and saving the document the original is checked in correctly.
Regarding the customizing I would kindly ask you to check the following settings:
1. Storage category:
Please check if a storage category is maintained in your system. I would recommend you to use the Content Server (KPRO) storage type. Therefore please go to transaction DC10 and choose the
relevant document type. Display its details and you will find a flag called Use KPRO. Please flag it to use the KPRO storage type which is recommended by SAP. You can manage your storage categories and KPRO settings by transaction CSADMIN.
2. Workstation Application:
To store originals in DMS it is necessary to have some workstation applications defined in transaction DC30. These applications are necessary to handle originals correctly. Please maintain a workstation application for each file format to avoid problems in the future. For all further information please see the blue information button in transaction DC30.
Best regards,
Christoph

SAP DMS and Content server installation.

Hi,
I am new in DMS. i have done configuration of DMS . now i want to store document on Content server.
so how to install content server on windows server 2003.
How to connect DMS and content sever?
How to access document ?
please help.
Thanks,
Dipak.

Hi Ricardo,
1. By using T-code DC10-Document type creation:- you will create Document type first.
a. create document type
b. define status if you need.
c. Object Linking- if you want document attach to SAP object then you need to configure by using same T-codeDC10.
and please go through below link:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/CADMS/CADMS.pdf
2. You want to Store document into SAP database/file system/SAP Content Server.
a. you need to decide first where you will store document.
suppose you select store into SAP Content Server then you need to select KPRO check-box in DC10. then you need to create Content repository by using OAC0 tcode an create storage Category in OACT transaction.
b. suppose you want to store into File system then you need to configure Data Carrier in DC20 T-Code.
c. if you want to store SAP Database then also you need to Content repository same like SAP content Server in OAC0 tcode and select storage type as SAP DATABASE.
and then create storage category.
if you have any query please let me know
Thanks,
Dipak.

Document stores in both SAP database and Content Server

Hi,
We don't want to store doc. in SAP database and chose to use content server. We have KPro checked in configuration also.
Our basis team has created a content repository ZP that points to the content server, in the document area.. they enter "ARCHLINK" instead of DMS. So they told me to create doc. and pick this new ZP to store the doc. But we I created a doc. in CV01N, went to check in the original, the new repository ZP is not on the list of choice to pick from. So I cannot store the doc. in that new content repository.
Our basis team told me that if we use DMS in the document area, the doc. stores in both SAP database and Content Server. We don't want to have doc. stores in SAP database that's why we have content server.
How can I create DMS and store in content server only (not SAP database) ?
Thank you,
Sam Schwartzberg

Hi Samantha,
While check-in activity are you able to choose the new content repository i.e. ZP?
If not then use t-code OAC0 and while creating the repository check whether the certificate is activated by basis or not .
If not then you need to activate the certificate for the new repositoty in CSADMIN then only it will appear in the list while "check-in" the dcouments.
Please check for the same. Also check the t-code OACT , this new repository is shown or not.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Ravindra

SAP Easy DMS / KPRO / Content Server

Dear Fiends,
We have a requirement to configure the SAP Easy DMS integrating with ECC 6.0 EhP6 application. I am trying to understand the base application components which are needed to set-up the landscape.
My questions are:
1 - Do we need SAP Content Server as part of the SAP Easy DMS configuration to store the attachments? (or) Can we use shared file system and link it to SAP Easy Document Management directly to store the attachments?
2 - Do we also need KPRO along with SAP Easy DMS?
Thank you,
Sri

Hello Tilak,
Thank you for the response.
Based on your comment, We have to use KPRO regardless whether we use Content Server or not with Easy DMS.
Is KPRO a additional installation or is it part of standard SAP application and available via transaction codes?
Thank you,
Sri

Document transfer from SRM to DMS through content server

Hi Everybody,
        In one of scenarios we need to transfer documents attached to the shopping cart line items in SRM to R/3.
       For that we followed the following procedure.
       1.In the SRM to R/3 system, the attachments are driven by the BADIs.
       2.In the BADI, if we define DMS_C1_ST as the storage category for R/3 Database, the DMS should work
       3.The existing DMS, the customized content server is Z_DMS.
      4.Using SRM (with Z_DMS)we are able to create the Document Info Record
      5.The attachments are not reflected in DMS (driven through SRM)
      6.When the attachments are added in the DMS manually, DMS works perfect
     I am thinking there might be some configuration required in content server for the conversion of original application files.
     If anybody have the solution for this please post here.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Link attached document to content server ( CS )

Hi,
does any one know how to store order attachement documents into SAP Content Server?
Thanks.

If you want to store documents in a content server. Then ofcourse you first need to instal it.
This is what you need to do:
Follow this official SAP installation guide to instal your content server (if you don`t already have it.)
You can click this link below:
Official SAP DMS installation guide
After this installation go to:
CSADMIN - Here you create a content repository. Connect it to your installed content server.
OAC0 - Here you specify the repository. It is a DMS system.
OACT - Create a Storage Category (same settings) and connected it to your content repository.
S_ALR_87008832 - Create a frontend system (for example PC or some random info, it doesn`t matter)
S_ALR_87008829 - Add the applications you want to use by which extensions. Like ".doc" open with word. (Select how to open, etc. with "%AUTO%")
S_ALR_87008971 - Now create a profile ID. You will now use your previously created frontend system, the applications you have entered, connect it to your storage category and you will give acces to a user or a group of users.
Final step: S_ALR_87008831 Create a document type. (DIR = Document Information Record). Here you connect the document to any type of object you want. You can also connect it to an order or anything you wish..
Good luck and enjoy,
Best regards,
Jan Daniël
ps. If this doesn`t work. You might need to update your SDOKPROP table.
You can do this manually or by the following official SAP note: sapnote_0001400866

DMS and Content Server in ECC 6

Dear colleagues.
IN ECC 6 there is a internal BSP based content server, that allows store the document in the main SAP Database.
In case of great number of documnets. managed in DMS, can in impact performance of all ECC 6 applications.
Does it make sence to install separate 640 Content server, or maybe install pure NW 2004S server, which wil run inly content sever BSP on separate database?
Regards
Vladimir

I would always recommend the use of the SAP HTTP Content Server (640 content server). The database on the SAP server itself is impractical for anything other than a dev or qa environment.

Email link to document in Content Server from SDV

Experts,
We would like to email links to documents stored on our Content Server while viewing them in the SAP Document Viewer. These documents are ArchiveLinks to invoices. When we use the 'Send object with note' button in SDV, the email sent contains a text file which has information about the invoice, not the document we are viewing. Does anyone know if what we are try to do is possible?
- Andrew

Hello Andrew,
You can right-click in open space to the right of the bottom row of icons to change the icons. Next select MORE TOOLS. In the File Toolbar, check the box for Email and this should solve the problem. Why SAP did not default this checkbox I will never know.
Thanks,
Tim

Migrating from SAP DMS to File Server

Hi,
Our client is currently using the SAP DMS to store documents for the EHS module. This has brought with it lot of handicaps.. primarily the huge size of the database. There is an initiative now to move from SAP DMS to a file server where the files would be physically stored whereas the linking would be made via SAP EHS module.
This effectively means that the things would remain as they were.. only that the specifications in EHS would now be pointing to a new location for its documents.
My question is whether this is a techinallly feasible solution and second how should the migration be done. keeping in mind that the linkages should be kept intact.
Suggestions are solicited... points are guaranteed.
Thanks!
Aviroop

Hi Aviroop,
Got any idea about how File server works with DMS ?
I am in urgent need for details about the file server functionality and configuration.
Can I use a sharepoint site (internet site0 as a file server?
Pls send me some documents regarding this to my mail id [email protected]
Thanks in advance and warm regards

Multiple SAP systems - Single Content Server

In a production landscape with multiple SAP systems and a single Content Server, would it be more efficient to allow each Web AS to access the Content Sever directly or should there be a single dedicated Web AS to access the single Content Server?
We do not have any load data; we are trying to find out if there are any heuristics for such a configuration.
Message was edited by: John Ryan

You may use the SAP Content server for data archiving. If you use content server, you may not be be able to satisfy the legal requirements as SAP content server cannot support a WORM devise.
SAP do not recomment using SAP CS for Data archiving as well. SAP CS could be best used as a temporary content stoarge for non legal document images.

DMS and Content Server configuration

After installing the Content Server and creating a Content Repository, I have to make that documents be stored in that contet repository. Please, help me with this becasue it is not clear for me how to solve it.

Hello Everybody,
my team and me need your help.
We have the same problem...
- Installed Content server on Win 2003 server
- Using SAP ECC 5.0 and trying to create and configure content repository via 'OAC0'
- This is initially our test environment so here we are not using any certificates
When we try to connect the Content Server from ECC 5.0, an error popup appeared : HTTP error 401 "Error in configSet".
Is somebody has an idea ?
Latheef (or someone else), could you please forward me the Configuration document on SAP Content server ?

Carrier Type In DMS for content server

Dear All,
Can anyone help me in telling which carrier type i have to define in dc20 for Content server, if any required.
i have configured content server in Oac0,oact, csadmin, but while saving file on server (check in) it is giving me this error
Error while checking in and storing: Message no. 26253 .
Regards
Kashif

This error usually comes beacuse of improper settings maintained in CSADMIN for repository:
Do few changes in CSADMIN Settings for repository:
ContentStorage Host : (Enter name instead of IP)
ContentStorageName : WCC
Storage : ContentStorage.dll
Security : 1
ContRepDescription : (Enter descreption as given in OAC0)
driver : LiveCache or MaxDB (Whatever you are using)
Incase of DB, maintain also
SAPDMSUser :
SAPDBPassword :
Please check after making these changes and revert.

Linking a CRM case to a document in an external Content server - CRM 6.0

Hi,
We are creating a case from a scanned document, the document is stored in a separate content server. Now we need to link the created case to the scanned document in the content server. We need to be able to access the document/image from within the create case using WebClient
Kind Regards

Pradeep,
Yes my users are over a 10 state area geographically, with u201Cpotentialu201D handheld access to the documents that would be attached to functional locations and equipments using the CV0*N access. They would have no need to u201Ccheckout/checkinu201D documents in the field, but would need view access or print access from their field device via a work order wrote against the equipment or F.L. to which the documents would be attached. I envision a separate small group of users that would actually u201Cmanageu201D the documents themselves such as u201Ccheck out/update/check back inu201D to the separate server location where the file(s) are located.
I understand in principle (I think) the DMS storage, but again, if I select u201Ckprou201D (currently unselected for my document type) you make the following comments: u201C2. 'kPro Storage' option (may store in SAP DB,HTTP Content Server), herein you can store 'n' originals/documents and 'n' additional files, AND
HTTP content server You may either use the SAP Content Server or an external/third-party content server.Typically, content server is opted for when operating in a distributed environment(users accessing from several locations)/index based search is needed/n:n mapping scenario exists.
Logical repository
This storage type allows access to different physical repositories, independently of the client and the system ID.u201D
So based on these comments, are you saying I should select u201CKprou201D for my particular document type and that I should define the external server as either an u201CHTTP content serveru201D or either a u201Clogical repositoryu201D? If yes, then as I commented in my 1st ask, please advise how u201CI should use for "Maintaining the Storage System" since based on the selection of "Storage Type" whether HTTP content server or Structure Storage System, or Logical repository decides how the rest of your screen looks for further selection.u201D Thanks in advance.
