Services for Object - Create external document (url) 132 characters limit

Hello,
I have this requirement:
Maintenance people would like to relate a document on our portal on a work order to be able to print it with the work order.
My suggestion was to use Services for Object in the Order -> Create external document (url).
But the adress field cannot contain more than 132 characters.
I have URL longer than 132 chars:
eg: http://server.domain:port/irj/go/km/docs/documents/AAI/Gestion%20documentaire/Public/Entretien/Instructions%20de%20travail/EU-IT-01-02.pdf
What do you suggest me?
Thanks,
François

Thank you Pete but we are release 700 and this note applies to release 620 and older. I will try to find another note or another way.
In the meantime we use the short-ID of SAP Portal Documents which are long to retrieve but always under 132 char.

MM03/MM02 Need to create external document URL

Hi All,
 We are having a requirement to create web link for materials using transactions MM03 or MM02.
 The exact path for this is as follows:
 Go to MM03/MM02 -> Enter material ->Basic data view -> Systems Menu -> Services for object -> Create external document URL.Here we need to enter the title and URL.
 The other path is clicking on the services for objects button that comes on the title bar and create the same.
 Is there any BAPI that can be used to achieve this.
Reward points assured.
Thanks and regards,

We can create manually it is done by clicking a button Services for Object and then selecting option (Create External Document URL).
I refered many links but failed to create the url in IE02.Please help me with the example.

Hi,
You will need to use function BINARY_RELATION_CREATE for this.
Check how is it handled in function SGOS_URL_CREATE_DIALOG. Also check code in PAI of screen 2400 (subroutine create_url_doc). You will need to use that code.

Create External document (URL) in SAP Personas

Hi Smart People!
To save some steps and incorporate a scanner I am working on creating buttons to "Attach Documents" in different areas such as MM03, FB03, and a few others where we have to keep a scanned in document attached to certain other Materials or Payables and such. All docs are scanned in and saved online and then we use the "create external document (url) menu option to link it where it is needed in SAP.
In one place it works just fine and in the others it is not working at all and custom button or even just following the already existing menu options it keeps giving me this error. I tried search on the SCN and Google and no such luck on this error. Anyone have any ideas? See pic below and also the text below is the separated error so you can see what it actually says.
[Unknown] ses[0]/wnd[0]/usrUSRAREA/ctlcntITS/itsdoc
Thank you for any help you can give!

That screen shot is for the Silverlight browser plugin.
You can check your Personas version and patch level in System -> Status. Clicking on the magnifying glass in the SAP System Data box will list all the components of the ERP system. It will tell you what Personas version and SP is installed.
Something like this:
The above means Personas 2.0 SP2.
If you indeed happen to have Personas 2.0 with no support package (so SP level says 0000), then the first thing I'd recommend is to bring the system to the latest level, which would be like in the screen shot, and then trying again. There is a good chance the problem will be resolved.
If your system is completely up-to-date and it still gives you trouble, then create an OSS incident.

Services for Object - Store Business Documents (issue with XLSX files)

Hi,
We are using the Services for Object > Store Business Document to be able to drag and drop files into (for example) Sales Inquiry, Sales Order, Sales Quotations etc.
Within OAC2 we have set up the global document types and these have been linked to the relevant Object Types and Content Repositories in OAC3. We have also set up the Content Repository as Document Area 'ARCHLINK'.
The ArhciveLink Basic Settings in OAG1 have the 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' set under Storage Settings.
The issue we are having is with XLSX document types. When we drag and drop the XLSX documen type using the Store Business Document the file is stored against the Sales Order but when you come to view the attachments MS Excel opens but an error message appears saying 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
We have reviewed SAP notes 1925897, 1739026 and 1145885 however non appear to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening?
I have found that if we unselect the option 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' in OAG1 then we can open the XLSX files.
As we have a significant amount of documents attached to various objects, what would be the implications of making this change agianst existing records and new records?
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Gary B

Hi David,
No joy I'm afraid!!
I added entry 'xlslx' with the relevant MIME Type, Application and Description into table TOADD for the ArchiveLink settings and also this entry was already in tables SDOKMIME and SDOKFEXT for KPro.
I then following the process via the Services for Object within VA12 (Change Inquiry) to then Create > Store Business document > Select the relevant Document Type > Drag and Drop the XLSX file into the empty box.
I then saved the record and tried to view the attachement but I am still getting the same message 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
Our client is on componet SAP_BASIS release 701 Support Level 0014 and Support Package SAPKB70114 and I can see that note 1237688 is for SAPKB70112?

Services for Object/store Business documents in AS01

HI
We have a requirement to enable the services for object to attach documents to Asset master. We have made configuration in Trx OAC2,OAC3 for object type BUS1022. The ICON is appearing for AS02 & AS03 but not for AS01. We are 6.0 version
How can I aactivate that for AS01. Is it SAP standard or can we activate?
Please provide me the solution.
Thanks
Sailaja Ala

Hi,
Absolutely it is not possible.
The services for object is only visible, once the original object is created.
Even if you check for normal F-02 entry also, it wont be visible during entry, but will be visible after posting if we go thru FB02 or FB03.
Any attachment can be assigned through the services for object, is possible only after creation of the dependent / original data.
So for AS02 and AS03, the dependent data has to be there in the DB, which has been created with AS01.
Thanks,
Srinu

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.
