PDF attachements need to be accessed by other non-SAP applications

I recently was approached with a potential new business requirement that requires access to the documents that have been attached to contracts in our SAP RE-FX system. Currently the users use the GOS to attach a document of some sort (letter, lease info, etc.) to a contract object. Our GIS system has the contract lease information available to it and would like to be able, when they click on a lease area on a map, have access to the PDFs that are stored in our SAP system so they can be displayed along to users using the GIS system.
Since those documents are currently stored in the sap database table (no customizing or content server setup) SOFFCONT1, those documents are not available to the external system. They would like to have a central location where PDFs are stored and can be accessed by the SAP system or GIS system.
Is this a possibility at all?
My understanding to date is minimal on GOS and DMS and document management. Very little was/is known about it other then users can attach documents when they click the button. As an x-dba I've always been a little concerned about storing those growing number of large pdf files in the database and in a single table as well. So for the moment I'm doing what I can to learn about what options are available, and what information I can pass on to our GIS time as to a possible way to share (read only) those files.
Thanks for any insight or advice you may have.
We are on ERP 6 EHP 6.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
>> I know this isn't the ideal place to ask a Vignette question...
You may feel free to do so.
But the answer is:
The SAP Portal can access Vignette through iViews, KM in the Portal offers an API (the Repository Framework API) to which Vignette could connect or via which you could connect Vignette and this would e.g. make Vignette searchable trough the SAP Portal.
You see the tendency, right?
If Vignette wants to search (and before this they will have to index and crawl) KM repositories, the connectivity question lies on Vignette's side.

Help me with accessing system and non-J2ME applications

As I've read in a book:
"Record stores are a private mechanism that allows MIDlets to retain data on a device. A consequence of the design of record stores is that it is not possible for a MIDlet to access data belonging to other MIDlet suites or, perhaps more significantly, data belonging to other non-Java applications on the same device. This latter restriction is quite significant, because it means that you cannot access things like a user's address book or appointment diary from a MIDlet. Similarly, non-Java applications cannot access data stored by MIDlets. Whether these restrictions will be addressed in a future version of the MIDP specification remains to be seen."
I think MIDP 2.0 has removed some of those restrictions.
I am still very novice to the J2ME world.
Here's my question: how can I handle any system or non-java application (text, image, or sound) to process them in my MIDlet. I need to read text or image. Is this possible?
Also is there some technique for browsing in mobile phones to search for some file that I need to access? (similar to that of Windows operating system)
I've been told that JSR 75 may provide me with those features, or FileConnection API. Is this true? If so, please help me with detailed information about the two of them, like how to use them, how to download them..etc. You can recommend me any links for reading.
Thank you.

Send data to other non SAP system

Hye techies,
I have a requirement, on click of submit in my bsp application, the data updated by the button event should also be updated in other non SAP system.
Please let me know what is required at my end, also please let me know what should the other communicating non SAP should have to consume the data.
Regards
Imran.

Hello,
you want to consume the data send by sap via .NET?
I think in this case it is better to send the data via RFC. You have to implement an interface in your .NET application which will consume the data sent by sap. On the SAP side you can define a function module as interface. The .Net and the SAP FM parameters must be the same. Now you define an RFC in SAP via SM59,for exception chosse "start on explicit host" and then entery the .Net/SQL server adress and your programm. in your abap code you call your fm...
CALL FUNCTION XYZ DESTIONATION 'XYZ'
. In your .Net progamm consume the data send by sap and write it in the db. I hope this explanation is ok for you. We solved problems like yours, with this way.
A direct change of your SQL Data via BSP, in my opinion, is NOT possible

Audio via Airport Express - other non-iTune Applications?

I am blessed with a working wireless network right of the bat! iTunes will link to my stereo via Air Tunes. My other audio applications do not (Toast, Spin Doctor, Peak, ...). Should these other applications work? Is it an (old) version problem? Or is this an Apple-only capability?

You would need to use Airfoil.

Problem with PDF attachment - need to send as "application/pdf" - Urgent!

I have code to email a created PDF but when the email is received the attachment is being removed by some kind of SMTPO firewall (I assume at my ISP). It says that attachment type "application/octet" with that file extension (.pdf) is not allowed. How do I set the mime type of the attachment to be "application/pdf"?
My code I use is similar to this at the moment:-
// Part one is the text
BodyPart bodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
bodyPart.setText("Some text");
multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPart);
// Part two is the attachment
bodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource sourceFile = new FileDataSource(FileName);
bodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sourceFile));
bodyPart.setFileName("FileName.pdf");
multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPart);
message.setContent(multipart);Any help would be greatly apprecieated as I need to fix asap!!!

i tried like this,but it will giving error like this
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type application/pdf
my code is :
MimeBodyPart pdfpart=new MimeBodyPart();
pdfpart.setContent(message,"application/pdf");
pdfpart.addHeaderLine("Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");
pdfpart.addHeaderLine("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable");
Multipart mp2=new MimeMultipart();
for( int i = 0; i < m_attachments.length; i++ )
// attachments= str+"/"+attachments[i];
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fileDataSource =new FileDataSource(m_attachments[i]);
InputStream fi = fileDataSource.getInputStream();
DataSource fileDataSource1 = new ByteArrayDataSource(fi, "application/pdf");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource1));
// messageBodyPart.setFileName(attachments[i]);
messageBodyPart.setFileName(m_attachments[i].getName());
mp2.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

Can the KM be accessed by another non-sap portal?

Company has portals based on Vignette.
Also has SAP CRM, where a catalog is based in KM.
Can the Vignette portal or Vignette Content Management System connect to KM?
Can any other CMS's connect to KM?
I would ask on a Vignette forum, but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks!

Exporting project- folder structure to other Non-Aperture applications

Hello,
I'm about to lay the foundation for a new Aperture installation. As far as organizational structure goes, this what I have in mind:
1 Project / year
1 Album / event
Example:
Project 1993
Derek's Birthday album
Linda's wedding album
Project 1994
Robert Birthday album
Bob wedding album
At some point, I will want to export the whole structure or some projects to family and friends who would like to view these images on their PC (not everyone is converted to MAC, yet).
I understand the Export>Projects command generates a file that can only be understood by Aperture, so useless for sharing with non-aperture users. What I'd like to do is:
1) Translate the project-album structure to a folder-subfolder structure in order to share images with other PC users.
2) At the same time export images versions as opposed to masters.
3) At the same time export all added Metadata.
I have the feeling Aperture is not ready to do all of the above with one command only. How can I maintain the project structure in order to share with other PC users? I guess only a script will be able to do this...
Thanks for your feedback.

1) Translate the project-album structure to a folder-subfolder structure in order to share images with other PC users.
Albums simply don't translate sensibly into Finder folders, in the same way that iTunes playlists don't. Any one Version can exist in any number of Albums, so you'd either end up having to choose one place for the exported file to be and remove it from all the other folders representing Albums, or end up with multiple duplicate copies of the same file.
Projects, on the other hand, can be mapped directly to Finder folders. So you might be better off using Blue Folders and Projects rather than Projects and Albums.
2) At the same time export images versions as opposed to masters.
3) At the same time export all added Metadata.
Exported Versions will automatically include IPTC & EXIF metadata, assuming you chose an export preset with metadata included.
I have the feeling Aperture is not ready to do all of the above with one command only.
There are some AppleScripts that will replicate the structure within Aperture when exporting (or Aperture Assistant* to do it without any scripting knowledge), but as I mentioned already, you will end up with multiple duplicate files.
Also, you would have to do this again every time that you alter a Version, import files or move Versions around.
Basically, the virtual nature of both images and organisation in Aperture mean that it won't really work in the way that you wish, and LightRoom wouldn't be much better even though it has closer ties to the folder structure.
Why not simply export a Projects-worth of images in this way rather than your whole Library?

Safari update effecting other non-Apple applications?

Greetings All,
Updated Safari 3.2.1 in the vain hope that it would solve issues from the last update. Now a new problem. All files created in CAD application Vectorworks since update Safari take an inordinately long time to open. Not sure how or why Safari could effect other applications, beyond permissions, but...
I have repaired disk permissions, thrown away Safari preferences and restarted. A little better but not much.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

It is very unlikely that the Safari 3.2.1 update is responsible for this issue. I would suggest contacting the developer of the application that is misbehaving and asking them for assistance.

Mail app PDF attachment is not visible

I found several reports (and workarounds) of PDF attachment hiding in Mail application. It seems to be still not fixed, as I got the issue with current up-to-date software configuration: OS X 10.6.7, Mail 4.5 (1084).
My details:
- email is generated by some automatic system, it has HTML body and one PNG image (referred from the HTML). I know there is also PDF attachment (2 pages).
- In mail view I see HTML rendering and PNG image as the only attachment; attachment count is 1. Nothing about PDF, also PDF contents is definetly not visible "inline".
- in mail source I can see that the HTML, PNG and PDF are there (as MIME attachments). Quick look to the source does not show anything obviously broken there; I've programmed MIME email sending in low level and have some idea about it.
- in File-Quick view attachments I can see PDF contents
- in File-Save attachments also PDF attachment is saved fine
- in most other emails I can see PDF files, inline or as attachments. So it has something to do with specific mail format, or MIME configuration.
So the issue is that by normal view I just would have no idea that there is this hidden attachment.
I happened to know from another mail reader (gmail) that the attachment is there, otherwise I could never notice it. Therefore it is major annoyance, especially that Apple has not succeeded to fix it fully for 5 years or so.

I'm having the exact same problem here. I'm in Lion 10.73 running Mail 5.2.
This is very frustrating because the "list view" window, there's an attachement column that show's there's 2 attachments (presumably one image attachment for a signature and one for a pdf)... but in the message window there's no pdf attachment.
Surprisingly I have an iPad3 and the same message is missing the attachment as well.
But then I go online to my webhost's webmail access and the attachment is there.

Send e-mail Billing document as PDF Attachment while saving from VF01/02

Hi all,
I have written the code for sending email with PDF attachment. Presently this code is included in the Print program for the smartform and an email is sent when an output is issued manually from VF02/03 where as the requirement is to send email whenever the document is saved.
We need to trigger this while saving the Output type say, <b>VF01</b> GOTO -> HEADER -> OUTPUT (select the output type) -> SAVE - should send an email with PDF attachment.
need ur help on this.
thanks,
Subba.

Hello,
Just like you have defined an ouput type for smartforms ,you can define new output type with external email option as medium which will first generate a PDF from invoice data & then send it as email .
I am not sure but you can also try this ::::::
If you have custom-developed smartforms program,then you can add email code at the end of smartform execution by generating PDF, in the same output type instead of creating new.
Thanks.

PDF Attachement in RFC Function Module

Hi Experts,
We are going to send the PDF format of Purchase Orders to other Non-SAP System through RFC Function Module.
Please suggest, is there any RFC function module to send PDF file as the attachment.
Or is there any other way to send the PDF files on regular basis from SAP to Non-SAP system.

'Failed to create object' when trying to open PDF attachment in Dynamics GP 10 OLE notes

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 users who updated to Adobe Reader X are getting errors when trying to open or create an OLE attachment on a note.
They get 'Failed to create object' when trying to open an existing and getting 'Failed to connect.
And " Link may be broken" when trying to create a new one.
PDF attachments work pretty fine with previous version of Acrobat reader 7,8,9 up tp 9.4
Now that we install Acrobat X, something has changed.
It only does this for PDF attachments, Other file types work fine.
I was able to remove Adobe Reader X and install a prior version to work around the issue.
Has Adobe developed any Fix for the integration of X and OLE objects.
regards,

Hi Gestis,
What version of Adobe Reader are you using?
If its less that 10.1.2, please update it to 10.1.2 and then try to open PDF attachment inDynamcs GP OLE notes.

Provided if we have access list configured in wlc ... for internet access only /
what about this mentioned scenario ?
can anybody suggest on the same ?

Hi Vinod,
