Redline in SAP document (.dwg, .pdf etc.) without ECL viewer Installation

Hi Experts,
We are implementing PLM Customer Collaboration in our Clients' system. Now If ECL viewer is installed in someone's machine, he or she can use Use ECL viewer functionality in cFolders like redlining in the drawing etc.
Now Problem is that though I am providing the Customer Collaboration through web to be used by customers, they can't use the redlining functionality. But, we can't go to every customer's machine & install the ECL viewer in their machine. Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC.
regards,
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
..Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC...
I doubt if there are any other options!! At best,what you could do is to enable the WebEx feature in cFolders,setup a meeting with your external partners and do the markup/redlining.

Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
I insert to this table:
INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
and then:
CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
"FILE_DATASTORE
The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
Note:
FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
Attribute Attribute Value
path path1:path2:pathn
path
Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
PATH Attribute Limitations
The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(2,'c:\oracle11g\cranberry.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
2 /
COUNT(*)
608
SCOTT@orcl_11g> In the following, I used a non-existent path and non-existent file name, which produces the same results as when you use a remote path that does not exist locally.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(3,'c:\nosuchpath\nosuchfile.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
2 /
COUNT(*)

Storing Documents (Word, .PDF, etc) & Searching Across & Within

Can any one direct me to a document or resource that describes
how configure document storage (Word, .PDFs, etc.) and searching
capabilities across the indexing - meta data, and/or within the
documents for key words or phrases. Any feedback is greatly
appreciated. We have a database that stores several medical
documents in different formats and we want to provide the
doctors and nurses that ability to key word search above and
within these documents for different subjects they are
interested in. This is obviously possible, just look at the
searching technique on this site (technet, intermedia, etc.).
If you have any other suggestions for these requirements they
would also be greatly appretiated. Thank you very much.

Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message. One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens. Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
Is there something I am not doing?
Thanks
Bryan

Hi Gee,
We also tried this:
Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
Highlighted the document and right clicked.
In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

Comment insérer un document (web;pdf etc) via un email afin qu'il soit visible sur le mail

Bonjour
je cherche à savoir comment poser un document, une page web, un élément pdf ou tout autre document sur un email de telle façon que celui-ci soit visible directement à l'ouverture par le destinataire du mail (comme on peut en recevoir maintenant souvent ).

Je pense que vous parlez d'une signature faite au format HTML et contenant une image et non simplement d'une image glissée en bas d'un message qui contiendrait plusieurs zones de liens.
Vous parlez "d'image map" ou de zones cliquables. Dans ce cas, oui, il est possible d'avoir plusieurs liens sur une même image, mais ces zones et ces liens sont définis dans un code HTML qui se charge d'afficher l'image et les zones cliquables.

I have transferred Word files from my PC to my new Mac Book Pro and some of the files cannot be clicked on and opened or even deleted because you can't select them. There are a variety of document files and pdfs etc. Any ideas ?

I have transferred word files form my PC to my new Mac Book Pro. Some of the word files are feint and will not open as you cant select them. Also you cant delete them either because the cursor wont highlight or select them. Any ideas anyone?

Have you tried looking at the file in list view in the Finder and seeing if they actually occupy any space? i.e. "Size"? There shouldn't be any problem with Office documents, Adobe pdfs, etc. If they migrated properly - did you use Migration Assistant or some similar utility?

Hi,
maybe SAP note 690497 could help you.
It's an enhancement of BADI DOCUMENT_EC01 to control the behavior of the EAI-viewer. You can use it, for example, to:
o Activate functions like saving or opening in the
   viewer or
o Dectivate functions like saving or opening in the
   viewer
o Implement customized authorization checks for
   Redlininng Layer

Print BDS document(in PDF format) from SAP R/3

Hello ,
I have a requirement to print BDS document(in PDF format) from SAP R/3 without user interaction.
In simple way, if I execute the program - PDF document will get printed on local default printer.
Please help me if anybody worked on similar requirement.
Thank you very much,
Liliya

Hi Liliya,
First you should create a smartform for BDS Layout and give output parameter like this..
wa_param-langu     = sy-langu.
wa_param-no_dialog = 'X'.
wa_param-getotf = 'X'.
wa_param-DEVICE = '     '.                               " (here you can give the path of your printer)
lv_output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.                      "Print parameters,
lv_output_options-tddelete = space.                "Print parameters,
lv_output_options-tdnoprev    = 'X' .
   lv_output_options-TDIMMED    = 'X' .               " it will give the immediate output of form in given output device
I hope it will help you.....
Enjoy...

Open PDF file in Acrobat reader rather than SAP Document viewer...

Hello everyone,
Whenever we attach a pdf file using Services for objects-->Store Business documents, an attachment list list is created and the file is archived in the repository.
If we double click on it, the pdf is opened in SAP Document viewer and not in Acrobat Reader unlike word document....
Can anyone tell me what configuration changes should be made and where so as to open pdf file in Acrobat?
Similarily what changes should be made so as to open Email files in Outlook?
Edited by: Suruchirazdan on Mar 31, 2011 8:33 AM

Which version of the Acrobat Reader do you use?
According to my experience with our desktop this might be a feature of ACROBAD READER X.
Kind regards

Convert word document to PDF file in SAP

Hello experts,
I've been searching around to get some code examples to upload a word document and convert it into a PDF file and then store it in unix. I hope one of you can help me, because many explanations and threads exist, but I did not get wiser reading them...
I don't want to use 3rd party tools to do the conversion, but do it directly in SAP with abap coding and if necessary spool processing.
System details:
SAP ECC 6.0 (unicode system)
SAP_ABA 700 0014 SAPKA70014 Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS 700 0014 SAPKB70014 SAP Basis Component
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can get the spool no from transaction SP01 and later use this spool no to convert the word document to PDF
using the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and give the import parameter as ur spool id.
once the doc gets converted to PDF u can use CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
to get the path where the file is to be saved and later give the path to function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the file.
or else u can manually execute the following reports:
RSTXPDFT4 (give the spool no. as input)
RSPO0068 (give the word doc with its full path as input)
Hope that helps u

Radhika

Display documents (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) in web dynpro

Hi experts,
                I have a requirement to upload the document of any type (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) to a Z table (may be in a binary format) in a web dynpro application.
I think this can be achieved through Fileupload view element.
In another window, I need to display the document based on what is selected in the table row. Which control or method can display any type of document? As far as I know, the office control view element can only display documents of type (.doc and .xls).
Please provide pointers on this or any example will help me.
