Reg archiving to the SAP DMS server

Hi All
I have a requirement, I am building an RFC for the PORTAL backend. Currently the front end is generating the PDF for the vendor master. They will be sending the PDF as an XSTRING fromate to my BACKEND RFC. Then i need to convert this XSTRING to Binary -> Binary to PDF and archive it to the SAP DMS server.
Since i am new to this particular requirement . I need a sample code or some idea how to build the logic based on this requirement. Please suggest is there any better way to handle.
Portal Frontend - > Xstring - > Backend RFC ( ABAP Side) - > Archive to SAP DMS server.

Dear ,
i am facing such type of scenerio .
did u solve ur problem ?

How many ways to use the SAP content server?

I just find out that content servers can be helpful for our data archiving.
Can people here list other exciting way to use content servers, e.g. KW/KM, etc.

How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

Hello All,
 I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
 I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
a, DOC Type
b, DOC Number
c, Document part and
d, Document version.
then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello All,
 I found the FM : CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD which wil return the file path.
But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
But all the classes use a gui.
Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
Please suggest me .
I too went thru the BSP Applications CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.
But these are used to display only the thumbnails.
There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.

How to store a JSP file in the SAP Application server ?

Hello All,
My reqt. is as follows :
1. I need to store a JSP File on the SAP Application server .
How can I do this ?
2. I want to call the uploaded jsp file from the server and call this jsp from abap to view the result of it .
How can I achieve this ?
First of all is this possible ?
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello Mike,
Thanks for ur reply.
I've imported the JSP as a mime object into the BSP.
Now I've created the page to show that Mime Object as an image.
But nothing is coming as an output.
But then,there is an option for that mime object. i.e when I right click on the mime object there is an option called " convert to BSP".
I selected that option and it created a view in my BSP .( My BSP is a page with flow logic application )
Now how should i make this view to be an output ?
I guess this shud be posted in the BSP Forum ...but still taking a chance here :)-

Connect the SAP B1 server to the Remote SAP B1 client

hi experts..
i want to know how to connect the SAP B1 server to the Remote SAP B1 client machine.

Hi Raleigh,
The reason why it is slow or hanging, is u need to upgrade the RAM in your Server. we have implemented the same concept and the speed is also good.
But we have done with one Single Server in the Office, which can be accessed both through Local LAN and via internet, for this we had given two IP Address for the Server.
One will be Public Static IP and the other is Local Static IP.
Hi raleigh,
I configured static ip with Nat mode in router.It was connecting from out side and while connecting it was asking Licence server ip,then i have given ip after that it was showing ths error"connection to the Licence server failed (60070-15)".Please help me.

SAP DMS server installation Query

Guys,
I would like to share my plans on DMS server installation under DEV,Quality,prod stage and requesting you all to validate and send me any comments if I am wrong anywhere.
- We have 1 external DMS server of (250Gb capacity)
- We are now in realization phase, As we know that we have 3 servers namly Development, quality and production server.
- In Development Server we do Baseline DMS customization
- In Quality server we do Integration testing
- There will be as external computer with harddisk capacity of 80 GB,I will Install Content server CD and make that 80GB hard disk as content server for storing the documents, create content repository and store the documents which are to be tested under both development and quality server stage(Note : we can use SAP database for both testing purpose but If we load huge data there,it will slowdown the server drastically)
- During the production server install the DMS server (250 gb) and define the content repository config under production server and start storing all the fresh document
- Note: Since the tested documents are stored in local PC we can avoid all the tested documents under quality stage only,once the DMS server is installaed in production server we can freshly load the documents.
- Note: I knew I have to install twice the Content server cd(once with 80 GB local hard disk and later with External DMS server)
This is how I planned, I request you to highlight the pain areas by this method else give me the confidence of how I planned?
I appreciate for immediate solution; also how does Kpro comes into picture here.
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S
DMS consultant

Hi Murali,
As per my understanding you want to keep a Temporary Content Server for your Dev & QA system but a full fledge 250GB Content server for Production.
This is a Good method you are following, i.e. when you go for production you will not have any junk data, you will be loading only fresh data (originals) into it.
There is nothing harm or pain in doing this, only thing is you have re-configure the Content Repository and Category in Production System (SAP).
Your Basis person has to open Production System for doing this Settings (Defining Content Repository and Content Category with Port, HTTP, etc)
Document Area to be ensured in each client at any point of time, Physical machine, IP address, Port etc.
You can maintain a Excel sheet with a following Columns:
Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port.
For Transaction OACT & OAC0.
Rest your method is fantastic.
Best Regards
Rehman

RAR: Configuration parameter "Report directory on the SAP ERP Server"

Hi,
Under a scenario with a standalone SAP GRC AC 5.3 installation and connected with several R/3 system through JCO destinations.
Which SAP ERP Server Directory do we have to specify?
Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Sunny,
I did not mean the Spool File Directory.
I mean the parameter "SAP Server Application Location". The parameter above FTP Location.
Under the configuration guide it is said for this parameter that:
"The report directory on the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application servers. This is the temporary storage location for security reports generated by background jobs. Virtual directories delivered in the ERP system, such as DIR_HOME and DIR_TMP, are supported. These directories are viewed with SAP ERP transaction, AL11. The same directory name is used for all SAP back-end systems."
Thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Regarding how to configurate the sap java server environment

I've got started to develop java application using webdynpro for java, and the development environment is sap netweaver composition environment 7.1 sr3-trial version java ee only , but I have a little trouble about how to configurate the environment for connection with sap and what server configuration is necessary for java development.

Hi,
If you want to connect to a SAP back end create a JCo using the NWA. Usage: http://<host>:<port>/nwa
Once this is done you can import RFC and start accessing bacckend.
If you need to deploy this application to a SAP J2ee engine, you need to connect to the engine using
Window->Preferences->SAP AS Java
Specify the instance host and instance number
Click on the register SAP instance button.
Make this as your default SAP System.

DMS Document upload: does it pass through sap DMS ?

Dear All,
We have a question concerning the transmission of documents from the client to DMS and the Content Server: does the document need to pass through the sap server ?
Document upload (create document CV01N)
Does the document go directly from the client to the Content server OR does it pass through the sap DMS before to be stored in the CS ?
Document download (read document CV03N)
Does the document go directly from the CS to the client OR does it pass through the sap DMS server ?
This could be interesting to know for network performances.
best regards,

Hi Gurus
is the cache server a default funtionality from the content server or any configuration is required from our part.
is that the cache server acts as the RAM of our system?
please explain the partitioning or biferfication of the Content server, as you told
content server is divided into storage catagories and this in turn in to content repositories,
please clarify below points,
1)any server or PC can be made as Content server by insatalling the content server CD if iam right ?
2) Practical and funtional benifits of partitioning content server into content repositories is it for authorization and storing data by naming convection or can it also help in copiying data from a specific content repository if needed, ( is content repositories a logical partition or practical partition like B,C,D, F drives of our PC hard disk)
3) can /should there be multiple content server installation for a particular (production) client.
4) Can Archiving be done say by creating a separate content repository inside the same Content server, or is it mandatory to have a separate archiving server itself,
please give some idea with examples
Thanks and regards
Kumar

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).

SAP DMS - How to do an external DMS configuration for the existing system ?

Hi All.
Greetings.
Request help and understanding.
Am new to the world of SAP. And request SOME clarity for understanding of DMS.
We are wanting to put an external DMS server and wish to configure for the same.
So that the load on the production SAP R/3 database is reduced.
We are now wanting to test the same on Dev environment.
From SDN Link :
I understand that :
DMS basically has a content server. which stores documents.
That can be accessed through Web, SAP R/3 Gui , SAP Portal.
I have gone thro various links and the following links i have found to be informative and helpful :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/DMS+Customizing
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
However, would like to know the following because am not getting the clarity :
1) Is there any supported platform / compatibility guide for DMS ?
if yes, can someone send me the link?
2) We have oracle 11g as our for SAP R/3 backend.
Windows 2003 server 64 bit system.
When i check the system status on the dev server of sap.
It says. ECC 6.0 Rel 7.00 update 20 (hOpe am reading it correctly)
After much search on the SMP site,
we finally discovered and downloaded the DMS software for unicode and / 64 bit.
Which we saw under the maintenance components separately seen for DMS 7.0
Now for this DMS content server which we would like to make it external for storage of documents -
do we need to have a separate database for this purpose as a repository.
If i run a setup of DMS - will that automatically install any default repository for this or
will it allow me to choose any other repository for the same ?
Can anyone advise on this.
Because this link says content server is based on Instance of MAXDB : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/59/fba637fcf7dc39e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
3) I read some thing like this on some of the SDN links :
P40 - Integration of DMS
P62 - R&D Document Manage¬ment and Workflow
P71 - Document management
What are they referring to.
4) We would be accessing these thro web, gui, customised portal.
This content server configuration is a bit confusing.
5) Is SNC configuration required to be done for the separate DMS server setup.
If yes, how to do that ? any configuration link for that please ?
Can anyone advise on the things to do.
Steps to do.
What all are the pre-requisites to check, before we start the set up of DMS.
Can anyone help me understand this whole thing regarding the DMS installation and configuration.
Step-wise.. from the start to end.
Because it gives me a lot of uneasiness without having everything in place before we could say we could start the whole process of configuration / installation.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Wishing you a happy and relaxed weekend.
Kind regards
Indu

Thanks christoph & pradeep kumar.
did a few more research and atleast have come to understand that.
DMS server installation has content server which works only with MAXDB.
So my understanding is correct.
And what we see as Easy DMS is a client installation.
which probably i would look at at a later stage.
Found this link to be a little more informative :
http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=330558
I really wish. That life were to be so easy. To call a consultant and finish it off
Wishful thinking
thanks and cheers

Download PDF File from Archiv to SAP Application Server

Hi,
I need to download the PDF file from an NAST-Dataset (how is stored from the message via SAP ArchivLink) to the SAP Application Server.
1) At first i read the Archiv-Link data via function module WFMC_GET_ARCHIVE_OBJECT_TYPE
2) Then i get the Connection-Infos via function module ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS_INT
3) Now i read the file from archiv as table via function module ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES
4) Save to the SAP Appl.Server via:
   - OPEN DATASET ld_dpfad FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE
   - LOOP and TRANSFER lf_archivobject TO ld_dpfad.
   - CLOSE DATASET ld_dpfad.
In the dialog of NAST-Dataset (Messages) i can open the PDF-File without any errors (display originals). But after the filetransfer to the SAP Appl.Server i get the following errors during the file opening dialog from Adobe Acrobat Reader:
- the embedded font u201CArialu201D cant to be extract
- not enough data for the picture
The reader can display the PDF-File but only without the picture (Logo) and with alternative font.
The same transfer from archiv and sending as an attachement to the BOR-Object via function module SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1 works very fine and without any errors.
Can any one please help me to solve this Issue?
Thanks in Advance,
Thomas

Hello Keith,
Many thanks for your answer.
In the past i didnu2019t need the BINARCHIVOBJECT-Parameter and so i overlook this option.
Now, the File looks a little bit different, but only in the STREAM-section.
During the Fileopen-Dialog i get only one message now - "not enough data for image" and the image will not displayed. The rest seems to be correct.
The relevant coding is now:
ld_doc_typ = pf_connections-reserve.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES'
    EXPORTING
      archiv_id                = pf_connections-archiv_id
      archiv_doc_id            = pf_connections-arc_doc_id
      document_type            = ld_doc_typ
      length                   = ld_length1
      offset                   = ld_offset
    IMPORTING
      binlength                = ld_length
      offset                   = ld_offset
    TABLES
      binarchivobject          = lt_binarchivobj
    EXCEPTIONS
      error_archiv             = 1
      error_communicationtable = 2
      error_kernel             = 3
      OTHERS                   = 4.
Zieldatei zum Schreiben öffnen
    OPEN DATASET ld_dpfad FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
Inhalte in Zieldatei schreiben
LOOP AT lt_binarchivobj INTO lf_binarchivobj.
    TRANSFER lf_binarchivobj TO ld_dpfad NO END OF LINE.
ENDLOOP.
Zieldatei schließen
CLOSE DATASET ld_dpfad.
Where is the error for the image data?
