Referencing a DMS document from within BI

Hello,
I am trying to determine how to reference a document in DMS (where it is stored on a Content Server) from within a Crystal Report on BI.
I believe that the answer involves installing the DMS Connector on the Portal.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/42/d289b446076bb2e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not expert in this area, but I don't understand why you try to read directly the cache as by definition, a cache is managed by the application itself. Why don't you read the document as usually, and let the system read the cache by itself?

Open documents from within

I was a moderate user of FInal Cut Studio, but I am completely new to anything concerning Final Cut X. My apology in advance if this is obvious.
I am trying to open someone's FCS X project file on their machine, with .fcpproject extension. I double click it, but the dialog box says "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro". Now in FCP X, there is no File > Open option under the file menu.
Any ideas for a complete newbie?

There is a tut currently floating around the Web titled something like Learn Final Cut in 30 minutes.
It's quite possible to FUBR projects by trial and error approaches because the app is so database driven.
My 2¢…spend a little time getting some info on organization, terminology, and workflow. Whether it's the tut I mentioned or not, It will not take long and it really will be a worthwhile investment.
Good luck.

Hello,
it is possible to extract DMS's file to application server directory:
FUNCTION Z_DMS_VIEW.
""Interfase local

*"     VALUE(DOC_PART) LIKE BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-DOCUMENTPART OPTIONAL

    IMPORTING

    TABLES

ENDFUNCTION.
ORIGINAL_PATH must be a directory of application server.
By background is not possible (I don't know how can we do that) download thsi file to PC.
Then with the file in application server we can :
- to map application server directory in a drive unit of Pc
- to transfer with a ftp client from Pc
- rfcexec
But always the bapi can not download the file: it must be a process in Pc who transfer the file.

Print DMS Document from Material master

Hello All,
Can you advice on how to Print the DMS Document as a smartforms from Material master ?

Hi Arvind,
You have mentioned two different terminologies here.
DMS
Material Master
From DMS, you need to download the attachment and the same attachment can be converted using the FM CONVERT_TO_OTF then try displaying the same into your smartform.
I'm not aware of Material Master Document attachment.
Will reply soon with that solution also.

Create DMS document from direct object transaction instead of CV01N

Dear Experts,
I have raised an issue for the same thing in past and got helpful reply also. However it is not working here. I have searched enough but did not get satisfactorily answer.
My requirement here is to create and store DMS document directly from the object attached to DMS document type instead of CV01N e.g. create PR ME51N, create project CJ20N etc.
So far I have done the required configuration to get create option in transaction while entering DMS document number. I kept document description field as an optional for respective document type and created and assigned role in Define profile step. Number range is internal. So I think all necessary configuration in place. Now problem here is when I am clicking on create easy document icon, it ask me to select document type and file from local machine also. But nothing is happening afterwards and document is not getting created and stored. Transaction return on screen without any number and so. Please help me out. Did I miss anything?
Looking forward for your reply. Points will be allocated for answer.
Best Regards,
Bhagat

Hi Bhagat,
Select the document type in question,navigate to "Define object links".Please verify if the following values have been maintained:
Screen no-233
When new version-1
Create document-1
Document version-1
Additional functions-checked
Post this,re-test the scenario and share the results.Also,do confirm if you are able to create documents of the above document type using CV01n transaction successfully.

Migration of SAP DMS documents from RFC Archive to SAP HTTP Content Server

Can anyone verify the correct OSS for the migration of documents from an RFC Archive repository (non SAP) in SAP DMS to a SAP Content Server HTTP Repository. Most of the OSS notes seem to indicate HTTP to HTTP migrations or based storage category migrations.
Which is the most suitable for this?
Edited by: Athol Hill on Oct 30, 2009 2:35 PM

Dear Athol,
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.
Best regards,
Christoph

Cannot open iwork documents from within the iwork program

I am running OSX Mountain Lion on an imac 3.06 GHz core duo. Everything is uptodate. I have documents from Numbers, Pages and Keynote stored on icloud. I can see them when I go to icloud.com. When I try to open them from within any of the iwork programs, all I can see is greyed out document icons.

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

Access DMS documents from MDM ??

Hello folks
We have a customer that has SAP DMS (Document Management System from SAP ERP) where the product image files are stored on a SAP Content Server.
We are planning to implement MDM for rich product catalogue whereby end-users access MDM via Portal, but we need to access some documents on DMS too.
I know that there is standard PLM iviews that shows DMS documents linked to a Material, can we use these iviews to modify them so that they are launched on request of user after browsing in MDM iviews (managing same material numbers) ?
Has anyone of you made this ?
Any hint/help on this is most welcome !
Thanks
/Sooriya

Hi Sooriya,
We can get the Product ID from MDM Standard iview through EPCF Eventing. Based on that ID, we can fetch the documents from DMS.
I am new to DMS. Can you please share some information on fetching document links from DMS through standard or APIs?
In my scenario, i have to fetch the documents link from DMS for all Master records and store the link in MDM. Also, when a new master s created in MDM, I have to attach/upload documents for the master record and store the document link in MDM. The actual document is present in DMS. When I send the newly created Master data to ECC, I have to link the Master data and the documents in ECC also.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Referencing a source datagrid from within a drag and drop handler

My application implements a drag and drop between two datagrids.
I would like to keep track of how many times a particular row in the source datagrid has been dragged to the target.
The drag and drop handler should increment a DataGridColumn in the source datagrid row each time this happens.
I can't figure out a way to refer back to the source datagrid and set a value in its dataprovider from within the drag and drop handler function.
The source datagrid is in a module and the target datagrid in in a popup called from the module. The function below is in the popped up custom component.
public function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
   if (event.dragSource.hasFormat("items"))
      var sComponentName:String;
      var iPos:int;
      //From which component was the drag initiated? This works sComponentName is set
      sComponentName = String(event.dragInitiator);
      //This does not work, compile error
      iPos = event.dragInitiator.selectedIndex;
         trace("Comp:MealPlanDetailCreate, function:dragDropHandler - event.dragInitiator: " + event.dragInitiator + "    parent container: " + event.dragInitiator.parent)
        trace( "    sComponentName: " + sComponentName +" name pos: " + sComponentName.indexOf("dgMP"))

Hi ZolanSilv...,
attached is an example of what i mean.
Hope it helps.

DMS BAPI RFC Open DMS document from external application

Hello,
I want open a document stored in DMS through RFC BAPI, from an external application (for example .NET)
EasyDNS run OK: I have included the bapi Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT (code from a SAP note) in the system and I can open ECL/EAI & local documents (pdf, word, ...)
If I run Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT from SE37 run OK: I can see every document, document is downloaded to local system and then open.
But when I call bapi Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT from my external application through RFC I don't receive any result: document is not download to local system.
I have debugged the bapi (with SM50) and I have see that the calling entry in bapi, run and then ... crash.
I have detected the fail in OLE_FLUSH_CALL: system has a dump.
Summary:
- EasyDMS run Ok
- SE37 Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT run ok
- Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT dump at OLE_FLUSH_CALL
Any idea?
thanks in advance,

Using "Mail document" from within Preview

I noticed that when in Preview if I attempt to use the "Mail document" function under the "File" menu the Preview document does not get attached to the new Mail document. To enable this function I must go to the print menu, scroll down to "Mail document" and, voila, the Preview document now appears in the Mail message panel.
I suspect a bug here. Have others experienced this?
(This happens on the G5; I haven't tried on the MacBook Pro.)

The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it. Faulty preferences files are causing folks a lot of application misbehaviors.
