Occasional document linking problems

We have a site that has a lot of links to resources for learners. In the past we've had some difficulties linking directly to .doc, .ppt, and/or .xls files. I think the problems usually involved Internet Explorer (or corporate standard) and various versions of the Flash plugin.
The problem would be that we would have a link to a resource that when clicked just wouldn't open. However it would be intermitent and only affect some users. So we were never quite able to get to the bottom of it, but I think it had something to do with IE trying to integrate with Office documents and having trouble with that. Our solution was to only link to PDFs or create a zip package of the files.
This was when we were using AS2 and getURL().
We are updating the tool to AS3 and I'm wondering if anybody else has had trouble using navigateToURL() and linking directly to Office documents?
I was thinking of replacing that with FileRefence to make it a download for all the documents instead of trying to open them in the browser. But I worry about having to deal with mutliple attempts at downloads and/or the fileReference instance going out of scope.
Should I stick with navigateToURL or switch to fileReference.download? Other ideas?
Anybody have advice on how I might approach this?

Were you able to get this fixed? Is it a ML issue or wifi card issue?

This happens and drops exactly 6 pings but the wifi icon in the display bar does not drop out. It comes back up in 6 seconds. It happens roughly every 15 minutes or sometimes it could be a hour.

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.

BP change documents ( linking problem between Object id and Business Partner)

Hi,
We need to create a report for documents changed for a Business partner.
This will be done in sap bw.
on source side I have created the datasource with function module changedocument_read and I am getting most of the information
which I want. Only missing part is Business Partner number.
Can somebody suggest , how I would be able to link Object Id to business partner.
I need to pull everything that is changed at BP level and the Object class selection around 30 in number.
So I am looking for any standard function module which can provide me the link between Object id and Business partner.
If I establish the rules to determine the Business partner from Object id , its getting bit difficult.
Can somebody please help/suggest.
I have gone through many documents and scn posts but unable to find anything on this.
Thanks !

Hi, looking at the change history header table CDHDR it seems that object ID simple equals the internal format of the business partner number.

Can't log into BOE system using SAP Authentication when using Document Link

Hi all.
We are setting up our dev SBOP 4.0 SP2 system and are working on getting everything configured to our requirements.
What I am currently struggling with is the Document Link functionality.
If you browse to a document (WEBI or Crystal) in the folder view in the BI Launchpad and right click and select Document View, the system presents a static link to the report. The problem is, when I execute that link in another browser window, the system prompts me with the default login screen that consists of the User Name and Password which utilizes the Enterprise authentication by default. Our login authentication is set to SAP everywhere else.
I've already set the parameters for BILaunchpad.properties to allow us to log into the BOE server using our user IDs and that works without a problem. I've also configured the OpenDocument.properties file as well. Neither of these two files seem to have any impact on the screen I'm seeing when I try to use the Document Link. (And yes, I've restarted the tomcat server each time I've made a change to the config files.)
I'm running out of ideas - have any of you encountered this issue before and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.
-Brian

Hi,
i saw this also a couple of times that the changes to the "custom" folder wont take affect.
Try the following:
1. Stop the Tomcat
2. Rename the properties file in the custom folder
3. take a backup of the properties file from the config folder
4. make the changes to the properties file in the config folder
5. start tomcat
Maybe this will solve the issue but if you deploy a new Fix Pack or Service Pack these Settings will get override.
If this solved your problem i would recommend you open a Support Message with the SAP Support.
Regards
-Seb.

Word document links won't open in IE 9

I got a user who cannot open up a word document link in sharepoint online that should display a word dialog box basically in IE 9. When clicking, nothing happens even if pop up blocker is off, but he can access the word documents from the link in Firefox.
I also found out that I am able to open it up under my windows profile on that machine so it must be a corrupted windows profile.
I reset IE
Cleared cache
Verified in registry in class roots that .html is set to htmlfile
Anything I can do besides redoing the user's windows profile?

InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
I mean, that is what it seems to me.
Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

Karen_Little wrote:
The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
Big BIG BIG bug.
Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

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.

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

Where to load Vehicle Document Links

Hi experts,
we are extracting data for automotive using BI content.
Enabled the DataSource 0AU_VM_BW_GD in order to load documents linked to a vehicle, we don't know where to load these data, because the DSO provided (0AUVMSO01) deals with Vehicle data and does not have the correct InfoObjects.
How we can manage this? Anyone has experienced this before?
Thanks in advance,
cs

hi costabile,
The Technical Name of the InfoCube is related to 0AU_VM_BW_GD is 0AUVMSC01
hope it will solve ur problem.
thanks

Automatic printing of a document linked to an Equipment

Good day SAP Experts,
I have a question which I hope there is a simple answer to within SAP.
I have created some documents that are stored in a seperate pc and are linked to SAP PM equipments. (Transaction CV01N)
I can follow the link from the equipment back to the document, open and view/change this document and also when the document is open, I can print it.
So far so good, now is the tricky bit, I create a PM work order for this Equipment, I can see there is a document linked to the equipment, so I want this documnet to be printed automatically when I release and print the work order.
To put it simply, my request is similar to having received an email with an attachment, I want the attachment to be printed in full when I request the email to printed.
In the customising of DMS I have found :
Application Type
This key controls the processing of original application files with applications in document info records.
Use
For authorization purposes, you can define the following settings for each application, depending on the data carrier type:
1 - Display
2 - Change
3 - Print
But I cannot get option 3 to work or am I misunderstanding the use of "3-Print"
Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.
Leslie

Hi Leslie
The print function in workstation applications won't automatically print the documents attached to an equipment. This function is designed to allow you to print using the print button in a SAP DIR or from CV04N, not for automated printing when a work order is released. This would require either an ABAP enhancement or a product like Seal.
The problem with linking a document to an equipment and printing it is that the equipment could have any documents linked including photos and numerous procedures or work instructions designed for different tasks. Unless all documents are relevant for all tasks, you could easily find yourself in a position where you end up printing 5 documents you don't need every time you release an order. This is the reason that the best technical solution is rather to link the document as a product resource tool to a maintenance order or task list. This indicates in SAP that the document is a tool required for that specific maintenance order or task and you can select different documents for different tasks and the order in which the documents should be used because without this the results could have serious safety impacts. I.e. ensure that the person follows the tag out procedure before trying to do another task on the equipment.

Cross-Document Links

Good Afternoon,
Is there any way to use Cross-Document links in the Adobe Reader Touch App?
I have a huge manual that i use day to day, it would be quite handy to be able to use this documetn on the Windows Surface 2 with thr Adobe Reader Touch.
As of right now i have not found any way to do this with Adobe Reader Touch.
If it isn't possible right now will it be possible in a future release.

Thanks for the info, Shlomo. I've now spotted the relevant text in the 8.0.2 release notes; that is, that PDF links created in Distiller 8 now work in Acrobat Reader 7. I must have missed it before.
With some new testing I can confirm that cross-document links also now work when the PDF file is viewed in xpdf.
However, cross-document links in Linux Reader 8.1.2 still give intermittent errors that are frequent enough to make any link intensive navigational documents practically unusable. I suspect this particular part of the problem is a Linux Reader 8 issue and not a Frame issue. But at least Linux users can now use Reader 7 or xpdf until Reader 8 gets fixed.

Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

Hello there,
Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
is working fine with environment Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
from 2010 to 2013.
For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
Get-SPWopiZone
The result will be one of the following:.
internal-https
internal-http
external-https
external-http
Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
Get-SPWOPIBinding
In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.

Open Document Link on PO Approval WF

In the PO Approval Workflow, if you have the proper responsibility, an "open document" link is displayed that, when clicked, takes the user to a screen entitled "Notifications to Releases".
This function is available to our Purchasing Super User responsibility but is not available for the Purchasing Approver responsibility. I'm trying to change that.
Using help, I determined that the form associated with "Notifications to Releases" is POXPOERL. That form is assocated with the following functions and menus:
FORM_NAME     FUNCTION_NAME     MENU_NAME
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     CHV_CHVSSWKB_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_POXSTNOT_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_POXPOVPO_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     PO_PURCHASE_ORDERS_GUI
POXPOERL     PO_POXPOERL     POS_INTERNAL_HP_MENU
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXSTNOT_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_REQUESTOR_GUI
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXPOERL_FUNCTIONS
POXPOERL     PO_POXPPOERL_VIEW     PO_POXBWVRP_FUNCTIONS
I've tried, under Functional Developer, to add several of these to the menu for Purchasing Approver. When they show up on the menu and I click them, I get a message stating: "You are not setup as a buyer. To access this form you need to be a buyer."
All I want is for people to be able to see and use the "Open Form Command". Am I going about this the wrong way?

I was probably not clear enough in my original question.
We want people who are approvers - but not necessarily buyers - to be able to open the form from the link. I'm not set up as a buyer, but I have the Purchasing Superuser responsibility and I can open the form.
I guess, bottom line... some more information on how to make links to eBiz forms work from WF would be helpful. I've not found much in the Oracle-supplied documentation that we have; I've read what's in the Developer's Guide and the Admin guide. Can anyone suggest a web link or two that might shed more light on the process?

Release 12.1
Part No. E13509-02
From page no. 194.In that section, No.8. Use the Manage Layout Document Links page to create a link between the
integrator and layout and the Word template.
See: Creating Links between Template Letters and Layouts, page 2-33
2-33>>
Select Manage Document Links from the Web ADI menu.
But when I click on the "Manage Document Links", I couldn't see my custom integrator to associate my word document with my integrator.
I could see only the standard integrators.
How to get my custom integrator in "Manage Document Links". I could see my custom integrator in define layout but not in this page.
Thanks.
With Regards,
Kali.

Hussein,
Thanks for your reply.
I followed the
Note 360105.1 -Understanding and Using Web ADI in Oracle HRMS, and the section "Letters",
I could follow all the steps, except the following,
The reason is, when I click on Manage Documents Links, I am not getting my newly created integrator.
If I link a standard integrator "HR People Details" to my document, that is opening properly.
But I am not able to link my document with my integrator(which is based on my view).
c. Now link the template letter to the Letter Integrator and Layout.
If not already done so, Add the function WebADI Manage Document Links to your Web ADI menu, and give it a prompt of Link Document.
Select Link Document option , and Web ADI Mail Merge page displays. Choose your Letter Integrator. Link it to the Layout, and a list of template documents uploaded to the database is displayed. Select the template letter to be linked with the layout.
