SAP DMS Issue - CV01N

HI all,
I had integrated SAP ECC 6.0 DMS with Content Server.
In the current Scenario, documents are to be uploaded in Content Server and later documents are to be linked with SAP application. (Say to ME22N - PO Transaction).
My concern is, Can't we directly attached the document at Application level (say in ME22N Screen) and same should be visible in Content Server.
Pls Note: I do not want to use SAPOffice Attachement facility which is avaiable at Application (ME22N PO Header Level)
For your Information, following settings are done in Kpro
==> Content Repository Defined with Document Area "DMS" and Storage Type "HTTP Content Server".
       Transaction Used : OAC0 and CSADMIN
==> Category is defined for Document Area 'DMS' and Content Repository ( Transaction :OACT)

S Anand

Hello
I agree with Sachin that DIR's can be linked only to PO Item and not to PO header. If you want to link documents to PO header, you will have to go for development.
If object link at PO Item level is acceptable to you, and you want to create and link document from ME21N, try following- 
Define a document type with Internal number generation and no mandatory field in DC10 transaction.
Goto object links and configure object link to PO item(EKPO)
On "Define object links" screen, put option 1 in "Create Document" field.
In DMS-> Control Data-> Maintain Screen for Object Link, enter "1" in "Auth" field for EKPO object.
After those configurations, when you are creating/ changing PO, Click on PO item, and click on "Documents" button. You will see "Create Documents" icon. From here you will be able to create documents without going to CV01N transaction.
Hope this is is useful to you,

  • 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

    Hi Rahul,
    How you are trying to check-in the docuement?
    Suggestion:
    1) Which version of ACAD you are using and Which version of ACAD Integration you are using.
    If you are using ACAD integration version 4.0.0.0 then please upgrade to ACAD integration version 4.5.0.0. Whichi is available in SAP Market Place.
    2) In your configuration, are you trying to create JPG Conversion? if so then please remove the trigger CreateAutoNeutralFile from the config.
    Create a new drawing and test the check-in functionality and let me know the result.

  • What is the easiest way to download a document from SAP DMS with C#?

    Hi,
    I've been sifting through this forum and looked at various posts and sample code, but so far my quest hasn't been fruitful.
    What is the easiest way to download a physical document file from SAP DMS using C#? I'm using the NCo 3 (SAP .NET
    Connector 3).
    Requirements
    - As few dependencies as possible (not adding or changing functionality in SAP)
    - C# code (MS Visual Studio 2012)
    - SAP Environment: NetWeaver 7.4.0
    Thanks for all help.
    Regards,
    Frank

    We've been using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUT2, but there seems to be a limitation. From what I've found on Google, you must enable the use of the SAPGUI through the flag UseSAPGUI when connecting to SAP.  It works, but my issue is that when I use it on a web server, I end up with some error when trying to start the GUI.  There is very little recent information for this out there right now.

  • Publishing of SAP DMS documents on local intranet

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario in DMS where I have to publish documents from DMS on local intranet. How can I achieve this? The documents e.g. are like Environment policy, saftey manual , travel policy which has to be  viewed by each person of a company when he log-in into an intranet. We need to publish hyperlink on intranet such that as soon one click to this link, a document linked from SAP DMS should get opened.
    We can do this in portal or through web DMS, but there again one cannot publish hyperlink. User has to search for the document in SAP DMS.
    Please help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hemant

    There are a number of ways to do this. The method I would recommend is to create a function module that issues a URL link to the document which can be put onto an external website. You can setup the url to check the SAP authorisation first to ensure that the person is authorised to view the document and to prevent people publishing sensitive links to the website.
    This could be done as a button on the main DMS screen so you can create the url directly from the DIR.

    Can somebody send information on SAP-DMS.  Please asap.

    Dear Venkatesh,
    SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.
    With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems.
    Installing the SAP DMS requires a little bit of planning on how you want to do it.
    You have to give a little thoughts to stuff such as :-
    1.  The total numbers of documents that will be store monthly.
    2.  The average file size of each documents.
    3.  The capacity of your present R/3 system.
    4.  Your present network bandwidth.
    5.   Document Archiving Strategy.
    6.   Backup and Recovery Plan.
    Additional purchasing of hardware are required, especially if you have large amount of documents to stored.
    With this in mind, you can then decide on how you want to do it.
    You can do this in a few ways :-
    1.  Import the documents into the R/3 system.
    2.  Use an external document server.
    3.  Have a dedicated PCs where all the documents are stored.
    Most companies that intend to used DMS will opt for Option 2 as they does not want to overstretch the R/3 database.
    Options 1 requires you to setup the conversion interface. 
    The conversion interface allows R/3 to automatically covert your files and import it into the R/3 database.
    Here is a simple example of storing documents into your PCs, just to have a feel how the SAP DMS works:-
    For those using Citrix, you have to set this at the Citrix Server where the SAPGUI is located.
    Configure SM30 - V_TDWE_C1
    Put this command in your autoexec.bat
    SET HOSTNAME=PC1234
    Restart your pc.
    You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
    Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record
    Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data. 
    To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
    The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
    Assign one or more documents to the material. 
    If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
    When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
    1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
    2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and 
       choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.

    OK. Unfortunately reservations cannot be created at the serial number level. So the unsupported way of doing this is updating the mtl_serial_numbers tables. I hope you would know (by some means) which serial numbers you want to allocate to a specific sales orders. If you know, update group_mark_id column in mtl_serial_numbers table with your order_line_Id, This will avoid any one from picking the serial numbers (they will not come up in the LOV or will not be auto allocated).
    But you have to make sure to take it off when you actually want to pick this order line and allocate this serial number. So just before you pick release/ confirm this order line you need to update column back to null so that you can allocate that serial number.
    Thanks

  • Link SAP DMS to Content Server

    Hi all, 
    Im user in SDN community, i saw you responding some question about SAP DMS, i have the following scenario :
    1.- I use SAP DMS in this moment and attach files from the server file.
    2.- Actually i have KM in the company, here have many document for common use to the company. for instance quality control specification documents.
    I need link SAP DMS to KM (Content Server), How can i attach files content in km to SAP DMS from transactions CV01N and CV02N. What´s customizing activitys i need apply?
    Best Regards,
    Jhonny Mogollón
    Consultor SAP
    Infogesa

    Hi Jhonny,
    in the standard of transaction CV01N or CV02N you see the original area at the bottom tab ‘Document Data’ or you can navigate directly to tab ‘Originals’. Both times you find the same small icons. To add an original you can use whether the ‘CREATE’(white sheet) or ‘OPEN’ button. If you choose CREATE a pop-up window appears where you can enter all original related data (workstation application, description, …). In the path field you can enter the path to the original manually or you can browse for it using the F4 help.  Since you select the correct file on your PC or Server please press OK and the path will be entered in the pop-up field automatically.
    After you entered all this data and confirm you will return to the CV01N or CV02N screen and see that the original file is added. However the displayed lock sign is still open which means that the original is not checked in at the moment. Please use the small green CHECKIN icon and select a suitable storage category on the next screen. After confirming your selection and saving the document the original is checked in correctly.
    Regarding the customizing I would kindly ask you to check the following settings:
    1. Storage category:
    Please check if a storage category is maintained in your system. I would recommend you to use the Content Server (KPRO) storage type. Therefore please go to transaction DC10 and choose the
    relevant document type. Display its details and you will find a flag called ‘Use KPRO’. Please flag it to use the KPRO storage type which is recommended by SAP. You can manage your storage categories and KPRO settings by transaction CSADMIN.
    2. Workstation Application:
    To store originals in DMS it is necessary to have some workstation applications defined in transaction DC30. These applications are necessary to handle originals correctly. Please maintain a workstation application for each file format to avoid problems in the future. For all further information please see the blue information button in transaction DC30.

  • SAP : DMS : Performance , is it better than other Document Mgmt system ?.

    Is it possible to find out how is SAP DMS (Doc Management System)  u2026is the system is scalable , I mean, is there any performance related issues.  Some say, it is ok, some say, it is not upto the mark. We require a positive feedback on the same from you all gurus
    Thanks
    Amit

    Hi,
    If performance in terms of storage and speed  is the issue in SAP DMS, then you can store files in content server.For this you must have a SAP content server. And you nneed to configure contnt reposotories and storage categories.
    If you do not use content servers for storage and retrival of the files, the files will be stored in SAP R/3 database.. If the number of fileas are large, the average file size is large and large nu,mber of usrs regularly retrive files, then the performace will go down. Because the application server which is basically meant for retriving data ( which atr in terms of bytes) will also need to handle the the retrivals of foles also(which are in terms of KBs and MBs).
    Using a content server will ease the load of file retriving on application server.

  • Some questions on SAP DMS

    Hello
    some questions on SAP DMS:-
    - can versions of same document be shown graphically. ?
    - can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
    - is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
    - is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
    Thanks

    Hi Shovon,
    1. can versions of same document be shown graphically?
    You can display all existing versions of a document info record by using the menu 'Extras' >> 'Versions'. Then you will see all existing document version for this specific document number. Further you will see which is the current version at the moment.
    2. can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
    I'm not quite sure what you mean by links to documents. If you mean linking document info records together, I can confirm that this works also in DMS. You can maintain the object DRAW for object links in the customizing and then you will be able to link one document info record to another. The data for all document info records is stored in table DRAW.
    If you are talking about originals which are linked to document info records, please note that if you check in an original the system creates a unique LOIO- and PHIO-ID which is stored in the Content Server and in the database tables DMS_DOC2LOIO and DMS_PHIO2FILE. But there are also different reports to migrate original data from one content Server to another (e.g. DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT).
    3. Is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
    Yes you can activate an event type linkage for object
    DRAW     CHANGED     DOKST
    DRAW     CHANGED     DWNAM
    in transaction SWE2. Here you just have to set the flag for 'Type linkage' (linkage activated). Then everytime the document is changed a notification is sent to the entered USER of this document info records.
    4. Is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
    Normally there is no special lifecycle. You can control this by maintaining a released status and if there are more versions always version with the release status is the current one. But there is no specific date when the document info record expires or something like that.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • 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 : <b>CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD</b> 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 <b>CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.</b>
    But these are used to display only the <b>thumbnails.</b>
    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.
    Regards,

  • SAP DMS: Read document binary data stored in a 3rd party repository

    Hi,
    I'm totally new regarding SAP DMS and I'm a bit confused about what can or can't do, so maybe the question will be quite generic and unclear.
    The scenario in my company is that we have multiple repository servers where we store our documents. When a document is created or modified in one of these repositories a new record is also created/modified in SAP DMS, but this DMS entry only contains the basic metadata information and a URL link to the document, not the content. When the user is in SAP DMS, the only way to access the document content, is via the link that will open the browser outside of SAP GUI and access the repository data using the laptop credentials.
    I would like to know if DMS provides some kind of interface to be able to access the document content from SAP. Now we only have this unidirectional interface from the repository that creates the record in DMS with the metadata but there is nothing to retrieve the content.
    Our main purpose is that we want to download all the files linked to a user (we have a logic to determine if a DMS file is linked to a user). The content of these files may be stored in different content repositories. So I would like to read the binary data in SAP from the different repositories and then be able to download it.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    - Marçal

    Hi Sagar,
    This FM can't work since there is nothing configured in SAP to access to the file content. The DMS record only has a URL pointing to it.
    Actually what I want to know is what do I have to configure in SAP in order to be able to use a FM like the one you mentioned.

  • Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed

    Hello Guru,
    Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed. when check in Easy DMS the document 123 excel file is not accessible cannot be open, it has an icon on pencil with red circle sign.
    when check in SAP GUi, the padlock is unlock, file cannot be open as well with error (File C:\EasyDMS\SAP_400\PRE1234567890 could not be accessed.
    how can we fixed this and unlock the document excel so that we can open it. Please advise. Thanks

    Hi,
    based on your description it seems to me that this original file is currently checked out for editing. So maybe another user is
    editing this file and so you cannot access it.
    If no other user edits the file you can try to use the function 'Exit Edit mode' in the context menu of EasyDMS. This will checkin the file again and restore the last checked in version.
