SAP Archiving using Open Text

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
Reference : efficient SAP R/3- data archiving : how to handle large data volumes .
Best Regards

  • Write custom logic for data archiving using Open text(SAP archiving)

    Hi,
    We are currently doing archiving for sales documents and billing documents using Open text. As part of this we need to have a search functionality based on Sales document,customer number, customer address etc...
    since customer address doesn't exist in sales order tables we need to write logic so that the document gets archived and retrieved using the address.
    can you please help me out in how and where to write logic for this...can this be achieved?

  • Sap open text

    Hi all
    Can anyone please tell about this OPEN TEXT.How do we implement Opentext and how is it different from DMS.I have worked  on DMS implementations ,but new to this OPENTEXT.
    We have a requirement in Opentext implementation.Please suggest as how do we proceed.I couldn't find any standard documentation also on the same.
    Regards,
    Sandhya..

    SAP of late has got into sales and support of Opentext(a content management solution).SAP has named Open Text as their preferred Records Management solution going forward.
    Difference: SAP DMS and Opentext are solutions for separate requirements.SAP DMS is designed for technical documents like engineering drawings, designs, specifications(frequently edited) with rich features while Open Text solution caters to requirements involving scanning and attaching documents to transactions. Open text has scan options to allow you to scan, read barcodes and attach directly to a customer.
    IMO,a SAP sales representative would be the ideal point of contact for taking the engagement forward.

  • Accessing attachments stored in Open text (ECC) with Work manager 6.0

    Hello Experts,
    We are using Open text in one of our ECC systems to store documents, files, pdfs and other attachments for the Work Orders and Notifications.
    We want to configure the Work Manager 6.0 application hosted on SMP2.3, in order to fetch all the Work orders in the mobile device.
    Now the question is - Can we access the attachments on the mobile device, from the out of the box Work Manager configuration.
    Or, is there a need to install any plug-ins in the ECC/Agentry side to enable the same.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Hi Abhishek,
    This isn't out of the box functionality for Work Manager so you'll need to enhance the existing functionality.
    To access OpenText Attachments (via ArchiveLink) in WorkManager try looking at the following->
    1. Get Attachments
    BAPI Wrapper - /SMERP/CORE_DOBDSDOCUMENT_GET
    MDO Class - /SMERP/CL_CORE_KWDOCUMENT_DO (Method - GET)
    You'll see the above GET method calls (If you GOS_ACTIVE flag is true) - GOS_DOCUMENT_GET_INFO
    This is responsilbe for getting the attachment metadata returned to the Work Manager Client ->
    ET_COMPONENTS
    ET_SIGNATURE
    ET_CONNECTIONS
    To get the attachment metadata stored in OpenText via ArchiveLink look at the below Function Modules -
    ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS
    ARCHIVOBJECT_STATUS
    You could enchance the GOS_DOCUMENT_GET_INFO method with a Post-Exit method or Implement the BADI /SMERP/MDO_CORE_DOCUMENTS - END_BDS_FETCH
    2. Create Attachments
    BAPI Wrapper -/SMERP/CORE_DOBDSDOCUMENT_CRT
    MDO Class - /SMERP/CL_CORE_KWDOCUMENT_DO (Method - CREATE)
    This calls the method BDS_DOCUMENT_CREATE to create the file and store it against the Work Order / Notification.
    You could look at following Function Modules ->
    ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_TABLE (Create the file on the OpenText server)
    ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT (Link the newly created file with the Work Order / Notification)
    The BADI doesn't provide a corresponding Create method so you could enhance the MDO class /SMERP/CL_CORE_KWDOCUMENT_DO with new method that calls the ArchiveLink Logic instead of the BDS_DOCUMENT_CREATE method. The new method can be configured via the Syclo Config Panel to be called instead of the standard CREATE method.
    Also check out the document - Document Upload & Download handling in SAP Work Manager 6.0
    Section 7 & 8 covers the BAPI Wrappers/Class Handlers & Ehancement Spots for Document handling
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers,

  • Download file using open dataset

    Hi all,
    I download a .CSV file to sap server using open dataset. I have a column which stores a number with length upto 30 char. I get the output in this format '2.34234E+25' for '23423423423423400000000000' in that particular column.
    Please send your suggestions to solve this issue.
    Rajesh.

    Do you want to use the csv file in Excel or in another application.
    If you display the CSV file created by open dataset using Notepad, you will probably see the 30 digit number.  This is fine for many applications, but not Excel!
    Excel cannot store a 30 digit number internally.  Try entering a 30 digit number into an Excel cell and see what happens - it is converted to scientific format with only 14 decimal places.
    If you need to see the number in Excel, you need to have it displayed as Text and not a number.  There are a few options:
    1. Put a character at the start of the field
    2. Don't use CSV, but use OLE to start Excel and put the data in the cell with text format (complicated I know).
    3. Save as a file with a .txt extension, open in Excel, and in the Text import wizard (step 3)  specify that the column data format is Text

  • Integration between PS and MS project using open PS

    Hello all
    We have a requirement to interface MS Project with SAP PS using open PS that is a standard SAP provided interface.Since i dint work on this before please help me in answering the below questions:These are the clients requirement.
    1. Methodology of installing this interface.
    2. Projects created in MS Project should create a project in SAP R3 and vice versa.

    4. Selective data transfer from MS project to SAP R3, for example we want to update only a portion of the project.
    5. How easy it is to download MS Project, project to SAP and vice versa. I remember in olden days
    downloading from SAP R3 was easy where-as uploading was pain. I am sure SAP would have addressed it.

  • Attachment list in ME23N using SAP Archive link not working

    Hello Everyone,
    We are using Documentum as our document management system and have linked it to SAP through Archive link to link scanned Invoices against purchase orders.
    After we run a query to link a PDF document to a purchase order in Documentum and then Login to ECC and tcode "ME23" and display the purchase order->Environment->Display Originals the document attached to the purchase order is getting displayed in Document viewer. But we want to display the document in "ME23N" and also against the Invoice document in "MIR4".
    Can anyone please help me in finding a way to display the document in ME23N. I would greatly appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Gopal.

    Do a search. There are plenty of posts which cover the configuration of DMS and ArchiveLink as separate issues. Its not something you could add as a single post, its an entire module in itself.
    On the issue of versioning, some products do support versioning with ArchiveLink but TRIM is not one of them. To get versioning on TRIM, you would need to use SAP DMS using TRIM as a repository. Open Text supports ArchiveLink with versioning with a product called Extended ECM which is designed to give similar functionality to SAP DMS but driven from the Open Text product as opposed to the SAP DMS. I.e. you create documents and publish them to SAP rather than creating them in SAP and storing them in the 3rd party content server.

  • SAP Content Server vs. Open Text Content Server

    Hi,
    We're currently trying to decide whether we implement SAP Content Server or an Open Text Content Server. We have the following requisites:
    - Store documents (from FI, MM, HCM, etc.)
    - Store SAP transactional data
    - Use Archivelink
    According to your experience what do you recommend?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ricardo

    Hi Ricardo
    Contact Open Text directly, they have a really nice presentation which compares the functionality from a technical perspective. Unfortunately I can't it here on their behalf but I'm sure they would be happy to send you a copy of it.
    SAP don't recommend the SAP content server for long term archiving so if you intend doing data archiving Open Text is probably a better option.

  • SAP Document Access by Open Text - can it recognize barcode and identify document number from barcode.

    Hello all,
    for SAP Document Access by Open Text - can it recognize barcode ? As well identify document number from barcode ? With this document number can we configure the business transaction to which this scanned barcode could be attached as attachment link?
    Regards
    Vimala

    Vimala,
    for SAP Document Access by Open Text - can it recognize barcode ?
    You can implement all basic scenarios of archive link with ADA SAP Document Access by Open Text.
    In your case ADA SAP Document Access by Open Text supports late storing with bar code and early storing with bar code scenarios of archive link
    As well identify document number from barcode ?
    Barcode is for indexing. During late archiving scenario you bind the index (barcode) to the SAP document number (invoice/Sales order..etc) which pop-ups a window for entry of SAP document number.
    Typically real time scenario may be archiving email correspondence to each every SAP documents of sales process right from Quotation to Sales Order so that every user of the corresponding SAP document can view correspondence.
    Similarly for early storing with bar code scenarios storing of all the partial (contract) deliveries with same barcode number to full fill the ordered quantity.
    Of course it depends on these are to be applied to scenarios.
    With this document number can we configure the business transaction to which this scanned barcode could be attached as attachment link?
    Yes
    Thanks,
