Link to external document

system details: windows 2003 with sp1, mssql 2000 with sp4, with solman 3.2, basis 16,aba16.
Dear all,
In transaction solar01 or solar02, in project document tab, rather choosing the option upload file, is it possible to create link for the external file location so that the document can be opened at OS file location. i tried but not succeeded.
Thanks
Imran Hasware

hello,
did you try when choosing the Weblink option ? you will have to provide a path to reach the file. If the file is local to your computer you have to put it on a share drive which can be accessed from the network.

Web Application Designer - Redirect document link to external documents

Dear all,
within a Web report we actually show document links (master data) by setting the parameter
DOCUMENT_ITEMS_MASTER_DATA in the corresponding Web Template to 'ON'.
Clicking the document link icon the corresponding document out of the BW document store is shown
This is standard.
We now want to replace this functionality by presenting documents (one per master data entry) stored on the application server of the BW-system in a separate window; means - a click oh the document icon shall lead to an 'external' document.
Is it possible to do this (f.e. using Javascript ?!)
Thanks in advance
Hagen

Dear Hagen,
I saw, that you worked and solved by your own the topic in
http://scn.sap.com/thread/2066463
Could you provide your solution--- we have the same request ( do not broadcast empty queries with empty results)
Thanks,

Our web based application allows links to external documents like word- these links work in IE but not in Firefox- any idea why?

the protocal that works in IE is
P:\My Documents\2010 Workshops\Nashville Brazeway\Nashville_Workshop_2010.docx
This drive is shared and opens in IE but Firefox gives msg
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (p) isn't associated with any program.

You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
Best regards

Have you tried contacting the PDF-Xchange company's technical support? What results?

Acrobat X external document linking problem

Hello,
I have been using Acrobat 6 standard for our user manuals for years and have recently started using Acrobat X.
It seems that the external document linking has changed though. I used to put all of our 3rd party literature (PDFs) in a separate folder (to keep it clean and neat) under our main manual PDF. I would link to all those documents inside our user manual PDF. Then when I later burned the PDF and the 3rd party literature to a CD, as long as I maintained the folder heirarchy, everything worked just fine.
Under Acrobat X though this doesn't seem to be the case. If I just burn it to a CD, then the all of the external links are broken. I have been able to do this by adding Desinations names to the 3rd part literature but this is a lot more work and I don't want to modify all of the 3rd party docs. In addition, some of them are read only and you cannot edit them.
Does anyone know how to link to external documents in Acrobat X and then move them to a new location while maintaining the link without editing the external documents (some are read only).
Thank you for any help you can give me.

The Javascript code populates a field on the form and the If Then statement sets this value based on the amount in another field. I have changed all of the values in the If Then statement but the button is still using the old values.
I have tried this on three different computers and it will not pick up the new values.

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.

christian

How to link to and open external document with Mac Dreamweaver

I'm evaluating Dreamweaver on the Mac. I know how to link to
an external document, such as a Word or Excel document. However, I
would like for the file to automatically open when the link is
clicked, rather than taking me to a directory window (where I then
have to double-click the file icon). Another option would be to
easily import data from a Word or Excel document, but the Help
indicates that's only possible when using Dreamweaver on Windows.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

What you need to do is this:
1.) back up all your data from your iPod
2.) reformat it on the Windows machine.
You'll then be able to use your iPod on both Windows and Mac:) If you need more help, let me know!

External Document Linking

Can someone tell me if it's possible to link to a specific
area of an external document via ColdFusion?
For example, I can create a link to a Micorsoft Word
document. But is it possible to link to a certain page or paragraph
within the document?
Thanks,
Brian

i was thinking that this is not possible, but, after testing
with it a couple minutes... select the word where you want your
"anchor". then under the insert menu you have the bookmark option.
give it a name (myAnchortest) save your document and upload it to a
web server.
refer to the document from a page...
myMSWordDoc.doc#myAnchortest
that looks like it will work...i just didnt test it.

External Link to Word document question

Hello, fellow RoboHelpers!
I have a quick question that I am hoping someone can answer
for me. :-)
I am using RoboHelp X5 and use Microsoft HTML Help (.CHM) as
my file output. I would like to link a Word document to one of my
topics, so when a user clicks the link, they will be prompted to
open/save the Word document.
The following are the steps I use to do this:
1) I type the text that I want the to use for the hyperlink,
highlight it, and select the Hyperlink tool (or press CTRL+K).
2) In the Hyperlink dialog box, I select "File" from the
"Link To:" section and select my Word document.
3) I select "Yes" to add the Word document to my project
folder.
4) In the Hyperlink diaglog box, I select OK, and the link
has been created.
5) I generate my Help project and test the link.
6) When I click the hyperlink, I receive a "File Download -
Security Warning" box asking me if I want to Open or Save the Word
document.
Problem #1 -- it appears that I can save the Word document by
clicking "Save" without any problems, but clicking "Open" does not
open the Word document in Microsoft Word. Why?
Problem #2 -- The warning box displays three criteria: the
file name, what type of file it is, and "From". I have issues with
the "From" line. While the .CHM file is attempting to call the Word
document from within the .CHM file, which is what I expected it to
do ... the path is, well, ugly looking :-P
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\RoboHelp%20Office\
RoboHTML\HTMLMicrosoftHTML\VRHelp.chm::/ICBA.doc
Is there any way that I can clean up this path? If I could at
least get rid of that mk:@MSITStore, that would be a good start.
If anyone has some suggestions, I am all for it!
Thank you very much,
--Jessica

The "mk:@MSITStore:" is the protocol for extracting from a
.chm file, much like an "http:" precedes a web address. I'm afraid
that just is part of the path if the Word document is embedded in
the help file.
Ahh, I am sorry to hear that that is the case. Thanks for the
information!

I don't know why your "Open" doesn't work. Does it open the
document within the browser window, or just not open it at all? Are
you adding the Word document as a baggage file? I don't know if
RHX5 does this automatically with your steps as I use an older
version.
John
Yes, the Word document is added as a baggage file. If I click
"Open", the Security Warning box disappears and nothing happens
(unfortunately).
In the Hyperlink properties, I realized that I had the link
opening in the "same window", so I changed it to display in a "New
Window". Now, when I generate/click the link, the Word document
tries to open in Internet Explorer (path and all). I get the same
message box as before asking me if I want to Open or Save the
document. Still, clicking "Open" will not open the Word document in
Microsoft Word. When I press Open, the box simply disappears and
the path remains in the Internet Explorer address bar. If I select
the path in the message bar and press Enter to bring up the
Open/Save prompt again, I can save the document ... but I cannot
Open it.
A thought just occurred to me while I was typing this: Would
the fact that I am using Microsoft Word 2007 have anything to do
with why the file will not open? I remember hearing that Office
2007 is not compatible with RoboHelpX5, so perhaps that is why the
document is not opening. Still, RoboHelpX5 doesn't seem to have a
problem saving the file to your harddrive regardless of the
filetype, and the Word document I am working with is a .doc file
anyway, compatible with Word 97-2003, not a .docx.

COMPILED CHM HELP - Rick advises that you can use an HTML

You simply specify the file name where you would normally
specify the application.
I tried to create a HTML Help shortcut by doing the
following:
1. I click the Insert Navigation Control button, then HTML
Help Controls > Shortcut
2. In the Button options box, I enter a text description for
the button and click Next.
3. In the Shortcut Selection, the first prompt says, "Program
to run when shortcut is activated." I search for my Word document
from within my Project Folder, select it, and press Next.
4. I leave the Font options the way they are.
5. I click Finish, and the button is created.
When I generate the project and test the button, nothing
happens when I click it. If I do specify the application (ex.
WINWORD.EXE), Word
does open when I click the button. How can I get it to call
a specific Word document?
Thanks for your time, guys!

Problem with links for external user

Hi,
We´re using SAP NetWeaver Portal 2004s SPS 10 and we have a problem with links within notification-mails:
The link to the document (e.g. within a subscription mail) consists of "http:///...". Only user using the portal within our network can open this links. All external user can´t open this links. How can I change the URL so that our external user can open the links, too?
Thanks for help,
Sven Keller

We already have another URL for external usage. My problem is how to define that created links to documents and folder are automatically using the external URL.
If somebody receives an email (e.g. subscription) the URL to the folder is:
http://<portalserver>:51000/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation
But it should be:
https://<externalportal>/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public Documents/Documentation

Create External document (URL) in SAP Personas

Hi Smart People!
To save some steps and incorporate a scanner I am working on creating buttons to "Attach Documents" in different areas such as MM03, FB03, and a few others where we have to keep a scanned in document attached to certain other Materials or Payables and such. All docs are scanned in and saved online and then we use the "create external document (url) menu option to link it where it is needed in SAP.
In one place it works just fine and in the others it is not working at all and custom button or even just following the already existing menu options it keeps giving me this error. I tried search on the SCN and Google and no such luck on this error. Anyone have any ideas? See pic below and also the text below is the separated error so you can see what it actually says.
[Unknown] ses[0]/wnd[0]/usrUSRAREA/ctlcntITS/itsdoc
Thank you for any help you can give!

That screen shot is for the Silverlight browser plugin.
You can check your Personas version and patch level in System -> Status. Clicking on the magnifying glass in the SAP System Data box will list all the components of the ERP system. It will tell you what Personas version and SP is installed.
Something like this:
The above means Personas 2.0 SP2.
If you indeed happen to have Personas 2.0 with no support package (so SP level says 0000), then the first thing I'd recommend is to bring the system to the latest level, which would be like in the screen shot, and then trying again. There is a good chance the problem will be resolved.
If your system is completely up-to-date and it still gives you trouble, then create an OSS incident.

Purchase Order Modification: External Document Number already assigned

Hello,
We're running Extended Classic Scenario in a SRM 4.0 implementation.
The problem is the following: When the user modifies a purchase order (this purchase order is already replicated to the backend), sometimes (not always), the next error occurs:
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: PO header data still faulty "
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: External document number XXXXXXXXX already assigned"
The system does not provide additional info (RZ20 give us the same message, no ST22 dumps...
We think it could be some kind of error in the standard BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
We've revised the SAP OSS but didn´t find anything....
Some idea?
Regards and Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
Any other rrors / dumps noticved in system using RZ20 and ST22 transactions ?
Have you seen this helpful pointers and link ?

MM03/MM02 Need to create external document URL

Hi All,
 We are having a requirement to create web link for materials using transactions MM03 or MM02.
 The exact path for this is as follows:
 Go to MM03/MM02 -> Enter material ->Basic data view -> Systems Menu -> Services for object -> Create external document URL.Here we need to enter the title and URL.
 The other path is clicking on the services for objects button that comes on the title bar and create the same.
 Is there any BAPI that can be used to achieve this.
Reward points assured.

FM to create external document(URL)   FBL1n transaction

Hi!
I'm trying to create a URL link in FBL1n but I'm not been able to do it.
I checked this link[ FM to create external document(URL)|FM to create external document(URL)]
but I'm not getting the URL in the link list.
I can create the link manually as Vimal kumar did, but in transaction FBL1n.
My code is like this (I think one of the parameters is wrong.)

      wa_BAPIPROPER like BAPIPROPER.
