SAP KM vs. Documentum

Does anyone know of any documentation or anywhere else that I could find information that compares document management solutions between SAP KM and Documentum?
Thanks, points will be awarded for anything that is helpful.

Hi Michael,
The Knowledge Management platform is delivered within the SAP Enterprise Portal and provides access to an organization's unstructured information (documents). The information may reside in multiple repositories that can be connected to the portal by repository managers. (Some repository managers are delivered by SAP; other can be programmed based on open APIs.) The functions of the KM platform can be exposed to the documents in all connected repositories, given that the respective repository manager allows it.
The major functional areas of KM are: Content Management, which supports the entire lifecycle of documents, including the authoring, storage, management, and display of documents. It also manages the connection between document repositories and the portal and provides collaborative functions such as feedback, rating, subscription, etc. Search and Classification (TREX), which processes search queries on free-text or attributes, and provides automatic classification in taxonomies and text mining. TREX is also used in other building blocks of SAP NetWeaver such as SAP Business Intelligence.
Documentum,produces an enterprise content management system for global enterprises worldwide.
Documentum is widely known for a long history of enterprise content management firsts. Documentum was the first to offer document, web content and rich media content management in one platform. Documentum was the first to achieve mainframe-scale performance with a billion-object repository benchmark. Documentum was the first to introduce XML into a content management system.
Documentum Content Transformation Services is a new offering that provides users a single and easily managed tool from which to perform all content transformations. Using a wizard-based approach, customers can more easily transform common desktop documents and rich media formats -- such as images, audio and video -- into any compatible content type.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Pooja.

INTEGRATION OF SAP NETWAVER WITH DOCUMENTUM

there is a integration taken place with the sap EP to the documentum(content server).
so there is need a testing in order to check the integration succees or not.
how the testing will take place on sap side to test the integration?
can any one tell me?
regards,
babu.

I am not sure you have got answer already.
If you have to integrate with Documentum,there is a way to do it.I have not worked in SAP CLM but integrated between Documentum and SAP for various application.CLM is ECC component based on the readings from SCN.
If that is the case,each t-code is associated with one business objects in SAP.If the CLM follows the standard SAP technology,you can integrated with Documentum or Opentext using SAP Archivelink.Or you can customize the general object services to fit your front end then use SAP standard archivelink.
Alternative you can use Documentum Webservices embedded in ABAP code to store and retrieve the documents

Integration SAP with Documentum

Hi!
We use Documentum SAP Archive Services 6.7SP2 to store content data of some SAP documents in Documentum repository. We configured this service in Documentum WebAdmin's node "ArchiveLink - Archive". So, content of some SAP documents becomes objects in Documentum repository (they place in folder, specified in Archive node configuration). The problem is, that names of that Documentum objects (object_name attribute of dm_document type) are not user-friendly. It seems, that there are equal to SAP GUIDs.
Does anybody knows, how to make Archive Services set the correct (for a human) object name as in SAP? Is it possible to save this strange identifier somewhere else, except of object_name?

Bad Request No connection to Docbase -connection test fail SAP & Documentum

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP R/3 with Documentum v 6.6 document management system. There is a repository created using OAC0 transaction.
Archive ID : <value - same as Documentum Archive ID>
Content server Version : 0.46
HTTP Content server <Documentum server ip > Port <xxxx>
HTTP script : \assap\archivelink\<Documentum share >
When we do test connection it throws an error states "400 bad request : No connection to docbase". If we change any values in HTTP script it throws error 404 not found. It means with above configuration is correct the connection is getting tested but with error statement "400 bad request : No connection to docbase".
Is there any thing which is missing ? Please let me know your expert advices how to proceed further.

Hi All,

Please check network and documentum for these type of issues.

Records Management - Custom Attributes

Hi all,
I've created a Document Service provider in SRMREGEDIT in my RMS_ID. I archive the created documents with ORGANIZER in Documentum Archive Server.
I have added a custom attribute to my Document type:
1.- I want this custom attribute appears in ORGANIZER in the search window, so I can search the documents thru my custom attribute. How I can do this?
2.- I also want to save my custom attribute in Documentum as attribute. How can I save SAP attributes in Documentum?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
Urtzi.

Hi Urtzi,
for custom attributs you need to create a Content Model (Customizing IMG). The Content Model description needs to be in the connection parameter values of your element typ Document. Then you have to customize your attributes in the dmwb (document modelling workbench), you should find your content model under the entity SRM, there you need to look for your content model id in documents, take the virtual class marked with "V" in the PHIO and LOIO classes, in the instance attribs you can finally customize your attributes by clicking the button "more". You have to hide all attributes you don´t need except SRM_DOCUMENT_ID. If you want to add own attributes you need to add them under IO-attributes first. When you restart your electronic desk now you should see the attributes you customized in the document and you are also able to search for these attributes now.
You save these attributes for your documents by writing the Content Model ID into the connection parameter values (Document_Class) of your element typ Document. If you have different Documents that need different attributes you need to create a new Content Model.
Hope that helps!

Sounds like you need QoS. AFAIK you have to define the QoS policy on the device and then the AAA server can (per user) assign the desired policy
There's a how to doc here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1839/products_feature_guide09186a00801541cb.html#wp1027129
In ACS you'd add a Cisco-Av-Pair with the following content
"ip:sub-policy-In="
"ip:sub-policy-Out="

SAP-Documentum Interface - getting an error as: Could not create PLM DIR.

Hi all,
We are facing following problem with the interface of SAP-Documentum.
While linking multiple DIRs from Documentum, getting an error as: 'Could not create PLM DIR. (E26324) (Error in version number increment for version 00)'.
Observation:
It's getting failed in 'DIR_GET' every time, so attempts to create new DIR every time.
Note:
Recently upgraded to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4.
Please help.
Thanks.

Sachin,
There are couple of things you could do:
1) Try the same values and execute linking manually in sap by calling BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 in se37.
2) Try pre-pending zeros to the equipment number field using WebAdmin on Documentum side.
Send me a message if you need additional help. I have been working with Documentum-SAP integrations for over 10 years and pretty much seen every problem out there

Cannot Display PDF from Documentum in SAP

Hello Everyone,
We have linked SAP with Documentum to be able to retrieve documents stored in the content server. We made all the setting required in OAC0, OAC2, OAC3. But when we are posting a document against a Purchase Order from documentum and trying to view that PDF from "ME23" it is giving us an error message as shown below:-
"The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/gopal.yarlagad...
But if we go into the "OAOR" I can see the document against the Purchase order. We are not able to figure out the issue regarding this. I would greatly appreciate your help if you can help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Gopal.

We also had the same issue. It was working prior, and suddenly we can't view .msg file (in CMOD archived storage) in portal as it no longer recognize mime type for this. This must be a new patch from outlook last week. We ended up implementing config change suggested in note 1840170, and add this mime entry in local registry. As per IBM note http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21610741, it looks like there's no other choice but to do it.
We plan to push this entry to all users' computers soon.

Linking Documents from Documentum to SAP transactions

Hello Everyone,
I have been working on integrating SAP and Documentum for retreiving documents stored in Documentum from SAP. I have been searching on SDN for a while and was not successful in finding a proper solution to my problem and hence this new thread.
We have created a "Content Repository" in tcode OAC0 and made all the required config in "CSADMIN" as well.
Then we have created a new "Document Type" called "ZFI" and assigned an Object type "EKKO" and Document class "PDF" for it.
I have also created a "Document Type" called "ZFI" under "Cross-Application Components>Document Management>Control Data--> Define Document Types and also created an "Object link" to "EKKO".
Now, when our Documentum administrator is running a SAP Query from CS SAP by passing a Purchase order number, everything seems to be fine. But, if i go to "Me23" I cant see any attachement. Could anyone explain me of anything wrong in our configuration. I would greatly appreciate your help. Please, let me know if you need any clarification.
Regards,
Gopal.

Hello Gopal,
Sounds like you're close. In my experience in linking SAP Purchase orders to Documentum, I did the config somewhat differently.
First, DIRS were not involved, I do not think you need to create a Doc type via DC10. I used Archivelink.
Second, the content repository name must be 2 characters long and no more. (The value you config in OAC0.) This is important for a step that comes later.
Once I am sure my Content repository config is up and functioning, I modify transaction OAC3 to map the appropriate business object and Document type to the repository I created. The field here only allows 2-letter repository names, which is why your config in OAC0 must conform. This should allow you to store a document to documentum and have it link to the Purchase order record. You may also need to modify your document class via OAC2, but it sounds like you've already done that.
If instead you wish to store a copy of the purchase order output (printlist) you will need to configure that as well in OAC3. Object type SOOD and Doc Type Druckliste or GENPRLIST. Then when you print, select "Archive Only" or "Print and Archive" and specify the object type and doc type, and your output will be directed there.
Good luck.

Connection between SAP and Documentum

Hi All,
We are retrieving some files from Documentum from an ABAP report in SAP using HTTP connection (using Web services). We were successful connections in DEV and QA.
Now in production, this server is load balacing on 3 servers. Their Prod Server is actually a content switch which redirects to one of the three servers. SAP is able to access all their three servers separately. However when I use the same code to access the Documentum content switch, it fails. We get a HTTP 404 - Not found error -
Here is the excerpt of code where this error is coming up-
CALL METHOD w_http_client->response->get_status
IMPORTING
code = lv_http_code
reason = lv_status_text.
This is pretty much my code I used which worked for Dev/ QA/ Prod individual servers (the content swtich doesnt work!)
CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url
    EXPORTING
      url                = w_string
      proxy_host         = hostname
      proxy_service      = port
    IMPORTING
      client             = w_http_client
    EXCEPTIONS
      argument_not_found = 1
      plugin_not_active = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4.
CALL METHOD w_http_client->authenticate
    EXPORTING
      "PROXY_AUTHENTICATION = 'X'
      username = lv_username
     password = lv_password.
CALL METHOD w_http_client->send
    EXCEPTIONS
      http_communication_failure = 1
      http_invalid_state         = 2.
CALL METHOD w_http_client->receive
    EXCEPTIONS
      http_communication_failure = 1
      http_invalid_state         = 2
      http_processing_failed     = 3.
DATA: status_text TYPE string, http_code type i.
CALL METHOD w_http_client->response->get_status
    IMPORTING
      code   = http_code
      reason = status_text.
The Documentum Prod server (content switch) is supposed to be transparent and thus SAP should be able to connect. But this does not happen. Any ideas if any other config is required for SAP to connect to a content switch?
Pls advise.
Thanks in advance! Liz

Hi All,
Appreciate your suggestions in my problem above. Any ideas anyone?

Documentum Kpro configuration for SAP DMS

Hi Experts ,
We are planning to use Documentum Content server as the content store for SAP DMS . We want to configure the KPro configuration for this. Can somebody help with the details. We are currently using Documentum SAP archivelink (RFC ) . I know we can also use Documentum SAP archivelink (HTTP ) . What is the difference between using Documentum SAP archivelink (HTTP) over Kpro configuration.
Please guide me
Thanks
Regi

Thank You Seema and Nitin for your answer.
As I mentioned earlier I am aware of the configuration of the Content Store and othet Data Carrier .
I am also familiar with the regular Documentum SAP archive link (RFC/HTTP).
The new dimension we are bringing to our architecture is adding SAP DMS for SAP PLM and using Documentum as the content store.
We want to use KPRO as the integration configuration for the specific reason of more than 2 originals.
My question to all the gurus out there is did any one use Documentum KPRO configuration with SAP DMS and if so how does that work with ECL viewer .If you are using Archivelink , you need to use Documemntum Viewer to see documents from SAP.
Also any difference in viewing document from a Portal interface
Thanks
Regi
