Services for Objects will not display attachments

Hi Gurus, we are currently set up to display attached documents using IXOS Live Viewer, but only a select number of users have this viewer due to licensing, etc.
The problem is, we have requirements for other users to display attachments in FI documents who do not have IXOS Live Viewer and therefore they are not able to display the attachments because of this. Since we will not pay for more live viewer licences, there must be a way to tell SAP to use the standard windows viewers installed on the machine, if the first choice (Live viewer) isn't installed? I have looked through the customizing for this answer, and I think I've found where it's configured to use live viewer, but I dont' know how to config it to use something else, if live viewer isn't available. Your help would be much appreciated.
Marty

Hi Marty
It is my understanding that the IXOS licensing is based on users retrieving of documents not necessarily the viewer so the licensing implications of having non-IXOS viewers accessing documents using the generic archivelink viewer is still likely to result in licensing implications if an audit is conducted at any stage.
The transaction for specifying the viewer is the OAA3 and OAG4.

Athol

From ME49 while navigating to ME47 "Services for Object" ICON not displayed

Hello Friends,
I am facing one peculiar issue that when I am Navigating to ME47 transaction from ME49 Transaction i.e. in ME49 Transaction when we double click on the RFQ Number it takes to ME47 Transaction. Here the ICON "Services for Object is being not displayed.
But when I am opening up the transaction ME47 directly for the respective RFQ Number, there I can see the ICON "Services for Object".
Have a doubt why from ME49 when navigating to ME47 the ICON is not being displayed?
Friends please help me in solving the above issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi Atkin,
Thanks for the response. Yes, it was the authorisation related issue. I have confirmed this by looking this button in another Users ID with SAP All role.

Services for Objects Attachement List Display Note not Viewable

Hi Experts!
Good day! I'm trying to display a note in FK03 (related to Services for Objects - Attachment List) and I only see white screen pop up window. No message and text information. When I tried to use another PC I can successfully view it.
Is there's a plugin that I may need to install?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Facebook for Curve will not display a "Run" option

Hi
I have tried everything to get this to work. But the facebook app will not work on my blackberry. When selected I can only see options to see reviews, screenshoots, and featured view. No other options exist. I think its because unlike other apps, I don't have the option to run on install and therefore see and accept the terms of service page. I have tried deleted, downloading from various sources etc etc. Nobody seems able to help.
Anybody any clues on this one?

Hi, thanks for the response.
We have a voice and data package with O2, and other data services seem to work fine. E.g. Ebay and BeWeather Apps work fine as does normal internet browsing. That said, Blackberry Messenger does not work in the same way as the facebook app - i.e. it will not give you a "run" option.
Is BIS a specific data service different to that you may get from the provider? And does that give you access to a broader set of data services?
Thanks for your help!

OCS Webdesk will not display attachments on emails sent from Thunderbird !!

Hi,
Emails that are sent with attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird clients display in my Webdesk folders without the attachment!!
Funny thing is that the size of the email means it obviously has an attachment but the attachment does not display in the email, meaning you cannot open it.
If you view the same email via Outlook with the Oracle Connector then it is fine.
Emails sent to my webdesk account from Microsoft Outlook come through o.k.
I tested this problem by sending emails with attachments from Apple Mail to my webdesk Inox and the same thing happened, email without the attachment visible !

Webdesk means Web Access Client right ?
We've never seen such a problem, works flawlessly here. Did you try with another account ?

Viewing attachments! My Ally will not display attachments!

Moved for greater exposure

If these are attachments you have saved to your phone, you may need to install a file explorer. Estrongs File Explorer and Astro File Explorer are good ones to choose from.

Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

4.0b9 on Windows XP
I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...
BR, Torgeir

OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
Here's a better example: NME.com:
http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

Safari Beta 3 for Mac Will Not Display Pages

I am a Web designer who evaluates my work in various Web browsers, and I decided that I wanted to see how Safari 3 will deal with some of my designs. I installed the beta of Safari 3 on my PowerBook this morning. The install went fine, but when I try to get Safari to load any pages, it displays a blank screen. The progress bar shows the page loading but then...nothing.
I have downgraded back to Safari 2 and it is working fine on my machine.
Any ideas as to why Safari 3 won't render pages or if there is a preference I need to rebuild to make it work properly?
Thank you.

Hi David,
I had the same problem, but after reading up a bit, it seems like the issue (in my case anyway) is caused by any Input Managers installed (home/library/input managers).
For me, it was SafariTidy, but there are other culprits as well... remove any items you have in there and see if that helps!

New yahoo email will not display attachments

I have firefox 5.0. Yahoo just upgrade there email this week. I am not able to view any attachment/pictures in the messages I received, but I am able to view them in IE 8 and Chrome 12.0.742.112. I have deleted cache and add ons, but it hasn't fixed the problem. How do I resolve this?

Services for Object Not Working in Portal

Hi Experts!!
We have created an iView for PR01 standard t-code. Now when we are testing it, we found that the button for Services for Object is being displayed on the page. But when trying to Create Attachment, it's not going further. Instead it's showing some message as 'Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically.This page had to be included for technical reasons.'
But nothing is happening later. It should provide me to enter the file path.
Can anybody suggest how I can get that? Your help is highly appreciable.

I had a similar problem using a different Javascript menu. If you take a look at the HTML generated by the portal and break it down into smaller sections you may find the HTML that is causing your Javascript not to load. It's a tedious task, but not all Javascript is the same. Note, if your javascript is using or manipulating the <div> tag. It must be relative positioned to an image or div or you may run into the problem of the javscript loading and displaying relative to the browser as opposed to your portlets.

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.

Rehman

Services for Object: attached documents/ links cannot be deleted

Dear SAPfriends,
The deletion button at the attachment list of "Services for Object" does not work. Eventhough it seems that the documents/ links/ notes have been removed from the object (i.e. Purchase order, material etc), when you exit and re-enter at the attachment list the documents are still there.
I tried to delete them from OAER, still the same.
Any ideas?
Yr help will be very valuable.
Kind Regards,
Elly Leondi

Hello Mauro,
Thanks for yr reply.
That was the problem.
