Significance of Direction Object---- DMS

Hello Experts,
I am new to SAP DMS. My query is when we create a DIR and attached it to another DIR. In object link tab of Parent DIR their is one column called Direction. I would like to know what is the significance of this column with respect to DIRS and also what this Direction means:
DMS to Object
Object to DMS.

Interesting observation!!
Well,the 'Direction' column indicates the manner in which the object linking relation between these two entities exists.
Eg:'DMS to Object' implies that object link is from the DIR to the linked object(a DIR in this case) and vice versa.

Significance of DIR-DIR link direction in DMS object link

How exactly the DIR-DIR link is controlled by direcetion? (Active/Passive/Two way)
And why the classification object with class 048 is not provided for DIR-DIR link like other objects? Is there any other way to classify this link?

I just need to know how DIR behaves when it is Active or Passive in DIR-DIR link.
I am not able to find out the difference between Active/Passive/ Two way direction in DIR-DIR link.
What functions are Enabled/Disabled when for the DIR when the it is Active/Passive?
points rewarded accordingly.

Create DMS document from direct object transaction instead of CV01N

Dear Experts,
I have raised an issue for the same thing in past and got helpful reply also. However it is not working here. I have searched enough but did not get satisfactorily answer.
My requirement here is to create and store DMS document directly from the object attached to DMS document type instead of CV01N e.g. create PR ME51N, create project CJ20N etc.
So far I have done the required configuration to get create option in transaction while entering DMS document number. I kept document description field as an optional for respective document type and created and assigned role in Define profile step. Number range is internal. So I think all necessary configuration in place. Now problem here is when I am clicking on create easy document icon, it ask me to select document type and file from local machine also. But nothing is happening afterwards and document is not getting created and stored. Transaction return on screen without any number and so. Please help me out. Did I miss anything?
Looking forward for your reply. Points will be allocated for answer.
Best Regards,
Bhagat

Hi Bhagat,
Select the document type in question,navigate to "Define object links".Please verify if the following values have been maintained:
Screen no-233
When new version-1
Create document-1
Document version-1
Additional functions-checked
Post this,re-test the scenario and share the results.Also,do confirm if you are able to create documents of the above document type using CV01n transaction successfully.

CProjects object link greyed out in DMS

Hi Everyone,
We have cProjects 4.5 setup in our environment.The RFC connections to SAP DMS have been established. DIR's of all 'Document Types' can be assigned to a project successfully.
Now,in DMS, for a DIR XYZ,'cProjects Elements' object link has been established.However, when we attempt to add a Element in cProject Elements, the netire section gets greyed out and a message is displayed as follows.
" Object link to DPR_OBJLNK cannot be changed in this transaction,Message no. 26321 ". Its understood that linking cannot be performed from CV0*n transactions. In that case,from where would this feature be enabled?
Regards,
Pradeepkumar Haragoldavar

Hi.
we have the same problem.
SAP ECC 6.0 on client 300, cProject on client 400, RFC connection established.
From cProject we can link DMS documents to tasks.
But, in DMS we can't see the link to the cProject task (object DPR_OBJLNK).
Is it possibile to see cProject tasks linked from the DMS documents ?
Is it possible to link cProject tasks directly from DMS documents ?
Thanks.

Print from DMS directly

hi all,
    i have a requirement that document should be printed directly from DMS. i came to kno from someone that there is s program named MCDOKPRT which can solve my problem. But i tried that program, it is giving me some text and not displaying or printing the actual document which has been loaded using the Tcode CV01n.
Pls help
any suggestions most welcomed.
Regards
Kshitij

Hi Kshitij,
If you want to print originals directly from a DMS transaction (CV02N or CV03N)
it is necessary that you have defined workstation application type "3" (print) for the relevant workstation application and the frontend type in transaction DC30.
Further it is necessary that your Windows folder options are also maintained correctly. Please see the following sample for the direct print of PDF files:
I would recommend to do the following steps:
1. Open Microsoft Explorer
2. Menue: Tools   > Folder options   > File types
3. Select "PDF" and press button "Advanced"
4. There should be a input called "print". If there is no such entry
   please create it by pressing the button "New"
5. Into the action field please insert "print" and to application used..
   write the Acrobat application path (see sample picture attached)
Back to SAP system at transaction DC30:
1. Select "PDF" and then select "define Workstation application"
2. Edit entry: PC    PDF    3 (application type)    %Auto%
3. Save
After creating this settings the pdf document should be printed by
directly. Only the empty Reader (without displaying a file) opens.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please award points of the information is useful.

Problems checking in files to DMS

Hi DMS gurus,
I have some questions regarding the checking in files to SAP DMS. Any help would be very much appreciated.
1. Ideally, I need to check in a binary table with the file content directly to DMS. Is it possible? I am trying to use CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN with PF_CONTENT_PROVIDE = 'TBL', but it doesn't work because there is no path for the file name in PT_FILES_X since I do not have a file, just a binary table.
2. How to automatically delete the file from the source after it's been checked in? The checkbox "Delete file after check-in" is marked in configuration for WS application, but the source file is not getting deleted.
3. How to check in the file from Application server using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2? The HOSTNAME requires the network address, but how to configure it. In SPRO I found network addresses for Data carriers. Not sure if it's the place.
Thank you

Embedding vs direct on mac

Hi all,
I have a weird one here - i hope someone else has experienced
this and can offer some insight...
I'm developing a video coaching programme based in-part on
Jereon's flvPlayer.. (ain't it great!)
The flv clips in the app are 540x200 - so we expected some
slow-down on old machines and thought we could encode another
low-quality set if we really needed to...
During testing we found that flv playback (and general flash
speed) was suffering on older macs (x.4 700Mhz, 640Mb RAM ish)...
We tried some Mac tricks like speedFreak (gives maximum
system resources to foremost app), and tried mulitudes of different
flv encodings (both kbps and fps) to try to get something
watchable.. pretty much to no avail - the movies ended up looking
very very compressed and still wouldn't play smoothly.
We turned off smoothing and deblocking...
We tried different browsers -Firefox was slightly more
capable than Safari and old IE's were dismal... but none would do
anything close to 'good enough'
We tried different swf embedding techniques from Adobe, Bobby
VanderSomething, etc, and we tried direct object/embed without
detection to be sure ... nothing was changing....
Then I started having problems with Bobby's UFO that i hadn't
seen before when reloading the page.. (not related) But, it did
cause me to try calling the swf directly in the browser...
i.e No embedding:
http://this.com/this.swf
Suddenly everything was working sweet as a nut! I switched
back to our original clips (On2 ~300kbps, 30fps) and turned
deblocking back on. Blow me down - it's still running like a dream
even on an old Mac clunker with other apps running.
We've not had any problems with flv playback speed on any
Windows machines in testing.. only on basic spec iMacs
Can anyone please confirm that the actual embedding of flash
movies in HTML somehow reduces available resources or something(!?)
- when using a Mac of similar spec mentioned above.
We'd love to get to the bottom of this as we don't want to
have to launch the app 'outside' of the (HTML-based CMS-driven)
site it currently fit's so neatly into.
Many thanx in advance if you can help even in the slightest -
and many thanx for reading this far (!)
Best,
VV

When will i save any files on a Time Capsule using MAC will it be possible to access them using Windows on a diffrent PC (PS3 or any other equipment)without any issues?
Yes. Some document formats can't be used in Windows, such as compiled AppleScripts.
is the data saved on TC using MAC got diffrent format or it is the same which WIndows is using and any other equipment?
As long as the drive is connected to or inside the Time Capsule, its format doesn't matter.

How to attach HTML content to DMS Document?

Hello,
I have a requirement in which I have to make a HTML file which contains the current Dispaly on screen, I have to attach this HTML file inside the DMS document.
For this I am doing following steps.
1 ) FM SAVE_LIST
2) FM WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT, form this FM I am getting the Internal table which is containing the HTML content.
a) I am converting this internal table content ot first in XSTRING using FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
b) And XSTRING to Binary format.
3) After this I am creating a DMS cocument using FM CVAPI_DOC_CREATE
3) After DMS document creation I am using FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN to attach HTML file content to this DMS Document.
Everthing seems to be ok, but when I am using CV03N to view the document, its showing the HTML file bu not showing the original content(HTML)
Please help to find the problem, Is there any other way from which I could CHECKIN HTML content directly inside DMS document in HTML form without converting it to binary.

HI,
I have not understood the requirement.
As far as I know, HTML need not to be checked in.
Refer also link below
Re: some questions on SAP DMS
May be useful in choice of FM.

Hi,
some notes/patches are applied your ECC. so its shows your objects are in $Tmp.
Your error indicates that name which it specified it exist in $TMP package.
How to check whether its in $tmp or not.
ECC side, RSA6--> double click on data source-->double click on extract structure--> menu go to--> direct object entry.
or
at BW prod, go to RSA1->transport conection,
Find your data source or source system and drag into right pane,
You can see package as $tmp.
Can you check at dev system, if its works well there,
please do the follow things.
1. Collect ecc data source into transports move up to prod.
2. Replicate transported data source from ECC prod to BW Prod.
3.Collect data source form bw dev into transports move upto prod.
4. Once your data source was active bw prod, try to run your info pack. it it works then no issue.
if its required you can transport whole further data flow like target,transformations,info pack and dtp.
Thanks

PPM - Object Links

Hi All,
The possible mapping for the scenario mentioned below?
1)     Create Portfolio
2)     Create Bucket Structure for the Portfolio
3)     Assign three Initiatives EX. IN1, IN2, IN3.
4)     Create One Item for each Initiative IT1, IT2, IT3.
5)     No Auto PS Project has to be created for this.
6)     Create a PS Project manually with three top WBS Elements with subordinates and linking those WBS Elements
                     each to IT1-W1, IT2-W2, IT3-W3. (By std we can only assign one project definition to the portfolio Item). I
                     assigned this through Object Links
7)     Now the dates, status and Planned/Actual Costs/Budgets should transfer to Portfolio items and also dates/status
                     should also get synchronized between WBS Elements and Items.
How this scenario will be possible. Is there a possiblity to synchronize the dates/status of Object linked WBS element to portfolio Item?
PS: I can create only on PS Project because of Synergy planning.
Rgds
Rambo

Hi John,
valid questions.
re 1 (using 'object links' without DFM): I would think that you need to develop the attribute synchronization more or less from scratch in that case. We have done this for other customers before (e.g. in 4.5 when the DFM functionality was not availble for PS yet). Depending on the exact requirements, the effort can become quite significant.
re 2 (object synchronization structure): this customizing is only relevant when you use DFM. And even then I would rather not change anything there. Basically the customizing activity allows you to use different input/output structure for DFM (that might be interesting when you connect multiple ERP systems with different releases to PPM through DFM). BUt so far I had never the need to change the structures.
I hope this helps you at least a bit (even though it is not a straightforward answer).
Best regards
Thorsten

Easy DMS and workstation application

Hi all,
We are using Easy DMS. Each time we copy a file from e.g. my documents we need to choose the workstation application. As long as we only use Easy DMS I do not see the point of it... Is it possible to avoid? If is not? What do I need to customize to make it work properly? Directly from DMS when I try to display the file I get an error saying that this file does not have a program which can execute the function.
Regards Camilla

Hi Camilla,
please check SAP note 918039 and create the FM 'Z_EASYDMS_GETWS_APPLICATIONS'. Please follow exactly the mentioned steps in the note and then EasyDMS should take the settings from DC30 transaction in the backend automatically. So please create this function module and after activating it, the application should be selected automatically.
Please also reset the RFC Cache in EasyDMS.
Additionally please verify that in transaction DC30 the correct entries for the different file formats are maintained.
Best regards,
Christoph

Changing package assignments of many objects

I'm having to put a significant number of objects in another package, and I was wondering if there's a facility hidden somewhere that will change the assignment of any number of different objects.
Any thoughts?

hi,
in your system it is possible to mark some are all of the displayed objects from Sanjay Sinha's solution.
Then choose the menu [Objects] -> [Reassign].
You have to insert the new package only once in the popup and all the marked objects are changed.

Stefan

Regarding Lock objects concept

Hi,
   I am interested in knowing what is the significance of Lock objects in SAP.
   Can we co-relate SAP lock objects with Oracle.
    Frnds, I dont need any material i hav enough but i want to know the cocept behind this.
Thanking u all.
regards,
suraj

Hi,
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
GO TO SE11
Select the radio button "Lock object"..
Give the name starts with EZ or EY..
Example: EYTEST
Press Create button..
Give the short description..
Example: Lock object for table ZTABLE..
In the tables tab..Give the table name..
Example: ZTABLE
Save and generate..
Your lock object is now created..You can see the LOCK MODULES..
In the menu ..GOTO -> LOCK MODULES..There you can see the ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE function

Getting invoker object

How could I get the reference of a calling object?
An example:
class A {
method() {
B b = new B();
class B {
public B() {
/*getInstanceOfClassA*/
In class B I need the instance of the class A (a), without passing "this" to B (or b).
I suppose that it could be possible by using the stack trace or reflections, couldn't it?
Thanx
Marc

i'm interested to know what problem you're trying to solve that you would need this capability. i mean, if you want a method to have visibility to the object that called it, why not just pass it as a parameter to the method?
generally speaking, the "don't talk to strangers" design principle (also known as the "law of demeter") tells us that a method should send messages only to direct objects to avoid unnecessary coupling--a) self; b) a parameter of the method; c) an attribute of self; d) an element of a collection which is an attribute of self; or e) an object created within the method.
flipping this around a bit, if you want the calling object to be visible to the called object, you can create the visibility by passing the calling object as a parameter to the method, or making it globally visible somehow. i don't see how you'd get around that, or why you'd want to. i need to understand the problem you're trying to solve using the technique you desire.
you can discover the name of the method that called your method by creating a new Throwable and parsing its stack trace. Log4J uses this trick to discover the name of the class and method requesting that a log be written. this is discussed in numerous other posts.
