Pb regarding SAP Archives
Hi,
I've a problem on R/3 4.6c production server.
Sequence of archive is 100014 and name of file is PRDARCHARC00014_0544984730.001.
The parameter log_archive_format is ARC%S_%R.%T.
I think Oracle doesn't manage to build the %S with 6 digit and forget the first digit of the sequence.
Is there a way to solve that ?
Thank you,
Alexandre
Hi!
Directly taken from Oracle 10g online documentation. Take care of case-sensitivenesses:
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT is applicable only if you are using the redo log in ARCHIVELOG mode. Use a text string and variables to specify the default filename format when archiving redo log files. The string generated from this format is appended to the string specified in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter.
The following variables can be used in the format:
%s log sequence number
%S log sequence number, zero filled
%tthread number
%Tthread number, zero filled
%a activation ID
%d database ID
%r resetlogs ID that ensures unique names are constructed for the archived log files across multiple incarnations of the database
Using uppercase letters for the variables (for example, %S) causes the value to be fixed length and padded to the left with zeros. An example of specifying the archive redo log filename format follows:
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT = 'log%t_%s_%r.arc'
Neither LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST nor LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT have to be complete file or directory specifiers themselves; they only need to form a valid file path after the variables are substituted into LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT and the two parameters are concatenated together.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive
Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.

ThomasThe rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Mass upload of documents through SAP Archive Link
Hi Experts,
Our client is having a requirement, to upload legacy (old) data from third party tool to DMS Content server through Archive link. Tool is implemented and it works fine for attaching individual document along with SAP Object like, Purchase Order, material, etc.
We dont have any idea as how to upload bulk of drawings for material, need your advice on this.
Regards,Hi,
I am trying to get more info on how to bulk upload employee documentation through SAP Archive Link' OpenText Enterprise Scan into the categories in OAWD. Once the documents are in Enterprise Scan the Administrator needs to link these to the categories in SAP. This is a manual process - is there a way to bulk upload these documentation to the right categories? Since these documents vary I am not sure that OCR will be a help.
Pleae could you help in this regard.
Thank you.

Use of SAP DMS & SAP Archive Link both together
Dear DMS Experts,
I am little bit new to DMS and have very less idea about functionalities and capabilities of SAP DMS & Archive Link.
I have got few questions:
1. Is it possible to use both SAP DMS & SAP Archive link togther.
For example, there are certain objects like GRN, Invoice, Employee etc which are not supported in standard DMS.
However, they are supported in archive link.
But at the same time, there is requirement of setting and resetting of some statuses of the documents attached with PM notification or with PR / PO. This functionality is available with SAP DMS.
So I want to know, is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects.
2. In case of SAP archive link configuration, we need to define link between Object Type, Document type and content repository
in node "Edit Links" under "Basic Customizing" under "ArchiveLink".
Here we can not use all the content repository which we have created normally. But we can use only limited content repository ID.
How does system decides, which content repository id can be used.? Where can i define that.?
3. With SAP archive link, can i store my documents in the same content repository in which I am storing my all the documents with SAP DMS. I mean to say, both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.
We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only.
Would request you all to please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat..is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects...
Yes,you may use Archivelink for static documents that would be required purely for reference while DMS can be configured to handle documents that are more dynamic in nature (that require status change,version,revisions et-al)
..both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only...
Yes,you may store DMS and Archivelink documents can reside on the same Content Server.Content repository is a logical area/partition,hence you may create one content repository for DMS and another for Archivelink(on the same Content Server).

External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link
We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.
Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
Many Thanks
Claire Crosby-ClarkeHi,
>Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable >of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.
In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.
We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.
>If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC >Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.

Hello Experts,
In transaction such as IW21, VA01, etc when we attach documents ( Excel, word, PDf's) in GOS ( Generic Services Objects) the document is stored in the Content repository and has a SAP Archive Link for e.g '&SO_KProObjectID=SOFFLOIO 4A6D66F30E37466EE1000000921B4EDD'
Is its possible to convert this Archive Link into an URL?
OR
Is it possible to read the contents of the document at archvie Link into an internal table???
Kindly help with possible solutions.

Mansi.Hi,

How to retrive data from SAP Archive (from Cluster or Content Table)
Hi,
I am working on HR -ABAP where i have a scenario to retive employee photo and disaplay as output in smartforms.And these employee photo are stored in Cluster table SDOKCONT1 in SAP Archive Link (storage type - SAP System Database).
Anybody can tell me the way how to retrive data ( employee Photo ) from this cluster and display its output in smartform dynamically.
Regards,
Sourabh ShrivastavaHello Sourabh,
If I am not wrong, there are two parts two your query...
a) Data or Content Retrieval
b) Displaying Retrieved content
Here is my feedback
a) The Content can be Retrieved using the FM ARCHIV_GET_TABLE.
Pass the Archive Object, SAP Object and the SAP Object ID and based on the Connection table entries (TOA*), the underlying Content Repository (T-code OAC0) is determined and a request for synchronous retrieval is made to the Content Server.
b) Display of Retrieved content is normally done through dedicated viewers (Ex: Livelink Viewer) or front-end applications (Excel, Word) based on the Protocol (OAA3/OAA4) specified in the Content Reository Configuration. Hence, to my knowledge, you cannot display the content directly in the Smartform.

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration
Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
ShantiDear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards

Hi all,
How to archive the data from SAP when the data have a delete tag?
can any one please explain the archive process in SAP? we have to delete production order data?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
veera
Edited by: Veerab on Oct 3, 2011 9:52 AMHi,
Main transaction is SARA of all SAP archiving objects;
1) Complete the customization steps of the SAP archive object on SARA
2) In order to delete the documents, you need to archive the object successfully, first
3) Then, you can delete the archive session object
4) Do not forget to reorganize the archived tables and create the statistics
The object name is PP_ORDER.

I need to know the basic understanding of what is SAP archiving using Open text ? I did go through Open Text web site and sdn but not of much help.
What would be the difference between archiving using SARA and Open text ?The Questionnaire can include following questions :
1.what sources are available for getting information about the SAP data archiving ?
2. which persons are involved in the archiving project and how are the responsibilities shared ?
3.should an external consultant be involved in the project ?
4. Is there a time limit for the project.
5.Which sap release are we using and is a release change planned before archiving ?
6.How many r/3 systems are in use and are they allocated in different regions ?
More such questions can be found in the book which snap shots are available on books.google

Data Archiving is a secure and reliable process through which data from closed business processes, meaning data that is no longer needed in online business, is written from the database to an archive, and then deleted from the database. Optionally the archived data can then be moved to an external storage system (ADK-based archiving). An important aspect of this entire process is that the archived data must be accessible at any time, in case it needs to be viewed again, for example as part of an audit or for business reasons. Data archiving provides several functions for the reading of archived data.
In terms of legal compliance some data can or even must be deleted, as soon as the required data retention period has been reached. This scenario variant offers different functions that allow you to store archived data separately based on specific criteria. This facilitates the deletion of the archived data later

The print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase
tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and
selects an output device and print options.
<b>Function modules in a printprogram:</b>
When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine
forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed,
is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you
can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.
