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.

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid

Storing documents with BDN to content server

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to store documents to a content server using BDN (transaction OAOR)? So far I can only store documents to the R3 database. In the Archive Link customizing the link table should be updated with the right entries containing the relevant document type, document class, and repository id.
Every hint is much appreciated.
Regards
Thomas Hørlyck

Thanks for the answer, but my question was whether it is possible to store documents to an external content server using transaction OAOR (Business Document Navigator). Right now it is only possible to store documents to the R3 database with OAOR.

Attachment link is not visible- external content server

Hi All,
I have integrated an external content server to SAP
i have done following activities:
1) I have maintained content repository using Tcode OAC0
2) I have Maintained Global Doc Type (ZFININV Finance Invoice scan doc document class: TIF) using Tcode OAC2
3) i have maintained Link for Doc type ZFININV and assigned Object type: BKPF    using tcode OAC3
4) I have all My documents scaned and residing there on my content server . So i have manually created entry for these documents in Table TOA01 .
5) I have maintained protocol using tcode OAA3
      Function : Display Stored Document
     Doc Class: FAX
      communication type : HTTP
In application Maintenance i have used internet explorer as an application.
7) In tcode OAG4 : i have maintained settings for storage and display.
8) Now i can search document using Tcode OAAD. i can display document in my content server viewer
Now my customer wants that while doing business transaction , customer should be able to attach link of supporting document   which is already residing there on my content server.
Say for example: I display a Finance document using tcode FB03. While doing maintenance of this document ,from the same screen , i want to attach supporting document (or link of the document) which is already archived there in my content server
but when i click on attachment list (using GOS) , i can not see any link which i can attach to this transaction
please suggest me .. whether i forgot any step Or is there any other way to do this requirement?
thanks
sandeep sharma

Dear all,
as naveen replied in this thread:
Alteratively, in FB03, try using Environment -> Additional Assignments to see if it meets your requirements. You will have to explore a bit and do some trial and error tests for the solution as this is a particular requirement which you have got.
This is standard functionality provided by sap
Storing Incoming Document->Manual storing-> Assigning a Document that is Already Stored:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4f/99386b446d11d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
For this additional assignment, the time at which the business object was created does not matter. It is also possible to assign other archived documents to existing business objects. An archived document is assigned using the function module ARCHIV_APPEND_DIALOG_META.
This additional assignment fulfils my requirement . but i cant see this option for other transaction (say for example ME51n or MM01 ) for which i can do this additional object assignment.
Is it possible to add this additional assignment option in another business transactions context menu? or anyother work around to fulfill this requirement...
thanks

Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.
Best regards,
Christoph

Hi,
We have to do the following post install activities to connect to Content server from DMS.
On SAP Systems (ECC) using CSADMIN t-code we have done the following post installation steps to check whether Content Server is reachable from SAP system.
When use hit CSADMIN option on the screen
Here we need to uncheck the Check Signature check box as we are not using certificates.
Here we need to give HTTP server (Content Server ) info like host name and the port number service is(1090) running.
2. Using OAC0 t-code create Repository on SAP system (ECC)
Then from here Hit CS ADMIN to create rep on Content Server.

Save attached documents in ME23 to content server

Hello,
I need to save the attached documents in purchase orders, via ME23 transaction into a content server.
I've been reading the DMS documentation, but I don't know if I have to use archivelink technology or basic DMS.
I've got the content server installed and configured in CSADMIN, and a Z repository created in OAC0, but don't know which objecttype and doctype to add at OAC3, (I've found BUS2012 and EKKO objects in references to purchase orders, but don't know which document type use).
Also need to create a link in a TOA* table, but don't know difference between TOA01, TOA02 and TOA03.
Dear experts, can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance
Marc

Hi,
For Archivelink setup you will need to perform configurations in following sections
Tcode OAC2 : Define workstation appliction for relevant object
for eg: QMILETTER2 -> PDF
Assign archivelink type create to the relevant objects in table TOAM_C using tcode SM30
For eg.: BUS2078 QMOLETTER2 X A2
Maintain link table entry for the object using OAC3.
BUS2117 QMICERTPDF X A2 TOA01
Additionallly maintain entry in tables TOADV and TOAAR. Link table entries.
In case you are using Archivelink to store the documents no need to define any document type. HEre we will use standard Object link setting.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Migration of documents from a http content server into sap kpro und sap dvs

hello,
I want to migrate documents from an http 4.5 content server into the sap knowledge provider (kpro) and in sap dvs with an abap program.
I know I have to create a PHIO and a LOIO and write it in the tables DMS_PH_CD1 and (only the LOIO) in DMS_DOC2LOIO.
Where I have to write my url for accessing the document on the content server?In which table?
What fm´s do I need to create the PHIO´s and LOIO´s?
Has anyone an idea and hints (like weblinks) to integrate documents from an content server into kpro and sap dvs?

Hello,
the private key, where the hash is signed with is stored
in your AppServer directory $DIR_INSTANCE/sec and is
called SAPSYS.PSE. Where the PSE is a secude (www.secude.de) specific format which contains the private and the publik key.
But I guess you won't get the private key, because its private, unless you are the Administror
Then signig is done via the normal industry standards. (http://www.rsasecurity.com/)

Archiving DMS documents (DIR) into the content server

Hi Gurus
Please tell me the basic configuration for archiving the DMS documents. it is asking me to maintain the following table entries (TOAOM, TOAAR, TOACO and TOADV).
the requirement is to archive the DIR in to content repository and the procedure how to retrive it
Jai

Dear Jai,
to set up a Content Server please remember the following steps:
1) Content Server sizing with the hardware specification - Functional Consultant.
Content server sizing has to be done by functional consultant based on clients requirement related to different application files and their sizes for approx 1 year and based on this it has to be estimated to next 5 years if requried.
2) Preparing the Server - Basis
the content server sizing done based on inputs has to be given to basis for checking the hardware specification,server size and also the platform on which content server will be installed (Unix,Windows etc).
3) Creating Content Repositories - Functional Consultant with information of the server details from the Basis guy.
once content server is installed, it has to be configured by creating content repositories and categories by functional consultant with the help of Basis.
4) Creating Storage Category: Functional Consultant.
must be done by functional consultant with the help of Basis.
5) Configuring KPRO - Functional Consultant.
once content server is up, KPRO functionality also will start working but to direct files to content server instead of Sap Database, configuration in backend has to be done by Functional Consultant.
Best regards,
Christoph

How do you retrieve Many documents from an external content repository

We are using P8 to store our AP Imaging documents (invoices). The conenction for this is set up through all the standard document management configuration using OAC0, OAC3, etc.
I wrote an ALV program that allows the users to search SAP and it will give them the unique GuiID that is passed between SAP and P8. This works great for retrieving document data, and then in the ALV layout I have a hot spot on the document number so it will launch SAP function module: ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS and display the invoice using standard functionality.
The client has recently recieved a request to pull over 2500 invoices and save them in a folder for review. I tested BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2 and it either doesn't allow me to connect to the P8 system, or I'm filling out the document type and document nuber different from what SAP expects.
Question:
Has anyone recieved a similar request to extract multiple documents from a content repository and what did you use to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Anthony

After the weekend has past, could it be true? No one has had to do this yet?
Thanks,
Anthony

Using a single Content server for DMS and also for Archive link documents

Hi,
We have Planned for a single content server for managing the documents in DMS, parallelly as DMS Standard SAP objects are not available for all SAP transactions, i have proposed for making use of SAP Archivelink funtionality to maintain the documentations where Std SAP DMS does not provide a Solution.
so here the question is
can a single content server be used as a content repository for Both DMS and archivelink,
can any one having done this pls state if it is possible to create different or Many Content repositories for DMS, Archive link in the same server,
is this a virtual creation or can we assign each repository a specific storage space which it should not exceed.
Thanks and regards
Sathish

Hi sathish,
-- Through the ArchiveLink docuemnt Management interface, an SAP sytem can use various content servers as storage media. similarly, one contnent server can be used by multiple SAP systems.
-- A Content server always has a single database assigned to it. A database can therefore be used by only one content server.
-- A databse is split into as many repositories as necessary. The design of the repository is mapped in the SAP system.A repository contains documents.
Depending on your requirements,(if u have limited documents or with low requirements) you can use the same content server for both DMS and Archivelink.
The number of documents stored on the content server is limited only by the size of the database.
Its better to have an external content server for archiving purpose, if your database size is increasing. Since the archiving systems storage is not dependent on the database.
U can also refer to the below thread :
How to Archive SAP DMS Data?
hope this helps....

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
