Service for Object - GOS

Hello all,
My client is wanting to use Services for Objects (GOS) to store comments about documents, notifications, etc. One disadvantage of GOS is there is no visible way to tell if an attachment has been made. I have been told there was an enhancement to the GOS that if an attachment is made to the GOS, the Icon would change color (or something visible) to indicate there is an attachment. Can anyone help me with this? I have searched OSS Notes but no luck so far.
This site is running SAP version 710 Patch level 6.
Thanks,
Bill

I know this is an old post but for reference, this is what we currently do.
implement badi gos_srv_select, in method select_services
(code snippet)
zstat = cl_gos_attachment_query=>count_for_object( is_object = is_lpor
                                                     ip_url = ' '
                                                     ip_arl = 'X'
                                                     ip_private = ' ' ).
describe table zstat lines znum.
if znum > 0.
    message s888(sabapdocu) with 'At least one note or attachment exists'.
endif.
I'm sure there are many other ways, this works good enough for us.

Services for Object (GOS) Attachement List not showing after attachment

Hi All,
I have created a new entry for the Generic Object Service List and this links to a copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE class (Create attachment) with some additional logic. However, after attaching a file, the "Attachment List" does not become available until after I re-enter the transaction. The attachment list is showing the correct attachments.
After some (understatement...) investigation, I found that even if I try and link the new service to a unchanged copy of the CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE service in SGOSATTR, it is not working. It is attaching fine, but the "Attachment List" entry in the Services for Object Menu is still greyed out. If I attach the original class CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE to the newly created entry it works fine. e.g. straight after I attach a file to the transaction, the menu entry becomes available.
I can't find where the re-draw of the GOS menu happens and hence can not determine what is going wrong. Does anybody know if this is part of the Kernel or is this actually done in ABAP ?
Am I missing something ? Debugging including system debugging for two days now and can't find it... very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wouter.

Hi Wouter,
I had originally posted to ask if you had resolved this since I was facing the same issue, but then deleted my post when I was able to get it working. Sorry, I didn't mean to initiate a flurry of activity in such an old thread.
My scenario is I created a new GOS service entry in table SGOSATTR using transaction SGOSM. My new service uploads attachments to an external document management system via a call to a RESTful web service. The class I use in the SGOSM entry is a custom subclass of CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE.
I resolved this issue by taking a look at what CL_GOS_SRV_URL_CREATE does in its EXECUTE method. The key bits to refresh the GOS Attachment List with the new attachment are...
raise event commit_required. " if SGOSM has the commit flag checked
raise event service_succeeded
       exporting eo_service = me.
These events tell any subscribers to go do their thing-- which in this case includes a refresh of the GOS Attachment List. So in the EXECUTE method of my custom subclass, after I call function BINARY_RELATION_CREATE, I raise these events...
CALL FUNCTION 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
       obj_rolea     = gs_object
       obj_roleb    = rel_doc
       relationtype = 'URL'
   EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS       = 1.
CASE sy-subrc.
   WHEN 0.
       MESSAGE s043(sgos_msg). " The attachment was successfully created
       RAISE EVENT commit_required.
       RAISE EVENT service_succeeded
             EXPORTING eo_service = me.
   WHEN OTHERS.
       MESSAGE s042(sgos_msg). " The attachment has not been created
ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to you even though your initial implementation was a while back. Thanks for replying to my question though!!
Cheers,
Amy

Where does the Services for Object (GOS) store data?

I have a requirement that I need to upload a Blocking Reason document for any blocked vendor.
The normal process we follow for blocking is XK02->Extras-> Blocked Data or XK05.
We want to check before the Vendor is saved with blocked data whether he/she (who is blocking the vendor) has uploaded the Blocking Reason Document .
I found out that we have an option in Vendor screen for uploading a document under 'Services for Object' in XK02 as shown in the below (in the red box).
After uploading the attachment it will show the uploaded document in the Attachment List as shown below.
I don't know where this entry is stored. I checked in the table SOOD (SAPoffice: Object definition), but there is no entry in there.
I would like to know on how to check whether the file has been uploaded at the time of saving the vendor.
If anyone knows the table in which this data is stored, kindly point it out.
Thank You,
Sreejith Babu.

Display GOS without click on 'Service for Object' button

Please try the following step to figure out.
1) VA03
2) At header of report (on the left hand side of 'Display S/O SysB SDI xxxxxxxxx:Overview' ) has a button called 'Services for Object' (GOS)
3) Click on that then it will popup icon menu set. <--- Want this to be displayed when access VA03 by no need to click the button in 2)
My requirement is I want this popup to be displayed suddenly after I access VA03 (no need to click on the Services for Object button anymore).

Could you please provide me any solution, function, example, similar case, etc. (based on 4.6c)?
Thank you all expert in advance.. I'll be here to provide you more information that need.

I found the solution yet. Let me drop a note to be a memorandum.
(1) Insert code into the last line of form USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT within report MV45AFZZ
PERFORM UNITEXIT_READ_DOCUMENT.
*{ INSERT
*[Display Attachment Service Automatically]
 DATA: lo_myobject TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager,
 lo_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container,
 ls_object TYPE borident. "BOR Identifier
 ls_object-objkey = vbak-vbeln.
 ls_object-objtype = 'BUS2032'.
 CREATE OBJECT lo_myobject.
 CALL METHOD lo_myobject->start_service_direct
 EXPORTING ip_service = 'VIEW_ATTA'
 is_object = ls_object
 io_container = lo_container
 EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 2.
*[Display Toolbox]
 CALL METHOD lo_myobject->DISPLAY_TOOLBOX
 EXPORTING is_object = ls_object
 io_container = lo_container
 EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 2.
*} INSERT
ENDFORM.
(2) Try open VA03 and insert attachment at Service for Object.
(3) Reopen VA03, attachment list displayed suddenly.

GOS and Services for objects are same?

Hi
Pls clarify my points
Services for objects and GOS(Generic object service) are both same or different?
To my understanding it looks like different as follows
-Service for objects is single icon to click for attachment, can be used only from front end execution.
-GOS is a toolbar kind of icon, have collection of menu inside, can be used for background execution also.
Both functions are different? Pls confirm.
Regards
ckumar

Understood the problem
both are same

Difference between usage of "System -- Services for object" and GOS direct

Hey folks,
i was wondering if you know an answer for that problem:
1) Start ME23N (no SAP Gui classic design!) and go to System - Services for Objects in order to start the GOS Toolbox. Try to to store a business document. In my case i don't have the authorisation S_WFAR_OBJ so i get the Message no. 00398 "You do not have authorization for this function" Thats the behavior a want
2) Start ME23N and activate GOS Toolbox by clicking directly on the button on the top left corner. Try to a store a business document. But there is no message coming up?! Same user, same PO! It seems that the Toolbox is just beeing restartet and thats it.
Same behavior in IW53/IW33 too, no auth error message if GOS is started via "System --> Services for Objects".
Thats our system:
ERP ECC 6.04 with NW 7.01
SAP Gui 7.20 PL 3 (signature design)
Thanks for your help and best regards

Hi Oliver,
I have done a similar testing for Tcode FB03 since I have done Archivelink configuration for this FI object.
Case 1:
=======
Start FB03 (no SAP Gui classic design!) and go to System - Services for Objects in order to start the GOS Toolbox. Try to to store a business document. In my case i don't have the authorisation S_WFAR_OBJ so i get the Message no. 00398 "You do not have authorization for this function"
Case 2:
========
Start FB03 and activate GOS Toolbox by clicking directly on the button on the top left corner. Try to a store a business document. Still got the same error message "You do not have authorization for this function".
Later I added the required object in the authorization profile and it worked in both the cases mentioned above.
Since the same program is being executed behind both the cases, it will check the same authorization object as designed.
What I would suggest is that you perform this test again and ensure that no one modifies the authorization during your testing period.

My workflow is not listed in the GOS (Services for object)

Hello Experts,
I developed a workflow and linked the BO ZBUS2081. This is sub type of standard BO BUS2081. I am using the custom event INVOICEBLOCKED to trigger the workflow. The workflow is triggered propely when the invoce is created (with block) thru MIRO and I can see the workflow in SWEL or SWI6 or SWI14.
But, the workflow is not listed in the services for objects button of the invoice display using MIR4.
If I use the standard event 'BLOCKEDQUANT' as starting event, the workflow is triggered and I can view it in services for object.
In the table SWW_WI2OBJ has all entries about the workflow triggered using standard event or custom event.
How can I make the services for object in invoice list my workflow that was triggered using custom evet?
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Siva S

GOS - Services for Object attachment icon

I may be posting this in the wrong forum, but my question is this. Is the Services for Object button ICON supposed to change colors or something when there is an attachment? How can you tell if there is an attachment for the object?

Thanks for the reply. This is true, what you say. But I was talking about the the Services for Object Icon. I want to know if an attachment exists without having to click on on the button. I would expect the button to change colors or something if there is an attachment.

Services for object in transaction EHSAMBTAET (Health Center Services)

Hi all.
In transaction PA30 there is a functionality called "services for object". I would like to have this functionality in the transaction EHSAMBTAET (Health Center Services) as well. At the moment when you choose it in the menu it just says: "No services available". Can anybody give me a hint on how to do this?
Many thanks
Liselotte

As far as I know, that "Services for object" is the Global Object Services (GOS), and requires a Business Object (BOR).
The Health Center Service doesnt currently provide such a BOR object.

About Service for Objects in PO

Hi dear,
I know in Service for objects we can attach a document to Purchase Order,Production Order etc.
But this document can be deleted by any user.
Is it possible to set a condition (via SPRO or any functional module) so that attachment will be deleted only by that log on who had attached it to that Pur Ord or Prod Ord and not by any other logon.

Hello ,
Through ME22N attached documents . The file is attached or not you will confirm through table SRGBTBREL(Relationships in GOS Environment). In this field INSTID_A enter Purchase order number , you get the result PO has having the attachement or not.
or else you can use this function module SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 to get the result.

IE02 services for object- How to collective list attachment by many equip?

Hi all,
IE01/IE02 i create attachment by services for object for equipment.
But I want to collective list attachment by equipment, not by individual equip to display.
How to do that? or which table can i find the info?
thanks a lot

derek,
I don't think there are any [Generic Object Services|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/be/3fe63659241157e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm] (GOS) transactions to mass update objects...
I suspect you would need to develop a custom BDC program for this purpose.

Advantage of DMS over "Services for object" functionality

Hi Experts,
I have got very basic doubt about advantages of DMS Over existing standard functionality of SAP.
We can attach documents or files to SAP Objects using "services for object" push button ( Next to title bar).
So please answer for my below queries
1. What is the disadvantage of using Services for Object??
2. If I use services for object, then file is stored in SAP Data base or in my local drive??
Thanks and Regards,

Hello ,
DMS Vs GOS
DMS- Document Management System
The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP R/3 offers the following distinct advantages over the current procedures and systems.
u2022     It avoids data redundancy, maintains consistency of data and minimizes the workload involved in entering and updating data.
u2022     In order to use large databases to the full, it is required to exchange data quickly and securely. Data can be accessed directly using electronic search tools, or find documents using known parameters.
u2022     Document distribution functionality (SAP-Workflow functionality is required)
The SAP R/3 Document Management System meets all these demanding requirements. In addition to managing documents, it also coordinates document processing. It is possible to automate the entire life cycle of a document: from document creation to document storage, its access and its update. Each document can be accessed immediately from any computer on the netwerk.
GOS-
All these DMS advantages are not available with GOS.

Query with links to 'services for object'

Hi everybody
I need your help
We have pictures (jpg, pdf, tif) linked to materials in material master (in transaction mm02 services for object). Sometthing like this - but form materials:
http://www.le.ac.uk/mis/docs/sapdocs/ug/UG5-1%20Services.doc
We would like to create the "stock report" with links to these attachments. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create these links in the report?
I would like the report to look something like this:
material_number1; stock1; link_to_picture_on_material_number1
material_number2; stock2; link_to_picture_on_material_number2
the user should be able to open the attached picture (if it exists) by clicking the link at each material number (even better if the pictures were already displayed in the report)
Thank you very much in advance

There are a number of classes with methods for accessing objects saved using services for object - look for classes starting CL_GOS*
Help for GOS is available at
