SPRO Customisation - archive Link

Hi All
Thanks in advance .
I am adding two functionality in my Dialog programming, 1. Attach document 2. View Document .
For these two functionality in sap (4.5B) No Class library is available .
For attaching i am using following function module
To get the GUI (browser )of destination :"GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO"
if version = 4 : use "J_8A3_ARCHIV_FILE"
if version is 5: use "J_8A3_C_VERSION_ROUTER" along IXOS Destop view (Server) .
But i have to do some customization in SPRO transation that i am not aware. For Customization we have to use following path SPRO -> Enterprise IMG->Basis components->Basis services->SAP archive Link .
Main purpose is I have to save the Document(any type .) in application server and while viewing the document i have take it from the application server .
Please let me know if any one have done this .
Thanks and regards.

Hello Shiva,
I see it is you first time posting in SDN. Please have a look at the forum toppics. I think your question would fit best into the Technology or ABAP Forum.

Regards
SURYA

hi,
TC- OAWD upload document.
preequisite;
1. u have to be defin document type
2. u have to be link this doc type to content reopository
3. u have to link this doc to link table [only for archive linking ex TOA01]
4. u have to set work flow.
Ex;
spro>SAP NetWeaver>Application Server>Basis Services>ArchiveLink-->Basic Customizing
u2022Maintaining Content Repositories TC-OACO
Content repositories are logical units within a storage system.ZA
u2022Maintaining Business object type
Here you have to maintain standard business objects which are given by
SAP.BKPF
u2022Maintaining Document Classes
The document class is the technical format of a document type (for
example, PDF, TIF, DOC etc.).
u2022Maintaining document types
A document type groups documents of the same type together, Some
customizing settings for storage scenarios are made according to the
document type. Before a document is stored, it must be assigned to a
document type so that the correct processing for the document is
triggered.Z_FIINVICE
u2022Maintaining Links
You could link a document type to an object type, a content repository
through a link table. TOA01
After this u need to set work flow
Customizing Incoming Documents>Workflow Scenarios>Use Workflow Wizard
here u have to mention workflow nomber i gave earliyer.
After this go to tc-OAWD, u will get Z_FIINVICE, double click and link doc to this doc type.
A work flow task generates, open office mail, execute work flow, enter FI number and save.

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
Shanti

Dear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

Please explain consignment process in details along with SPRO customisation

hi,
sap gurus,
my email id is [email protected]
Please explain consignment process in details along with SPRO customisation with a proper scenario.
regards,
balaji.t
09990019711.

Hi Balaji
Check this link for the building blocks
[Consignment|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/HTML/J58_CustConsProc_EN_KO.htm]
Also go though the extract below
The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes:
Consignment fillup (send materials to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment fillup order and a consignment fillup delivery.
Consignment issue (issue materials from customer consignment to the customer).
Here you have a consignment issue order, consignment issue delivery and a consignment issue invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal OR flow, but the materials are issued from the consignment stock instead of plant stock unrestricted).
Consignment return (return materials from customer ownership to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment return order, consignment return delivery and a consignment return invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal RE flow, but the materials are returned to the consignment stock instead of plant stock returns).
Consignment pickup (pickup consignment stock and move it to plant stock).
Here you have a consignment pickup order and a consignment pickup delivery.
Note that in consignment fillup and consignment pickup there are no invoices since there is no change of ownership for the materials.
How to perform a consignment order?
In consignment orders you are allowing the stock to sit in your customer location. Once he informs that he used the stock you will invoice him. If he returns the stock you will accept the stock to take it back.
It is defined in 4 steps.
1. Consignment fill up:
Sales document type is KB
Item category KBN
shedule line category E1
In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. document flow is sales order -
delivery item category. It will not be relevent for billing and pricing because you are not charging money for these goods in this step.
In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 & set for availability check and TOR.
2. Consignment Issue.
Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods then you will create consignment issue for used goods.
Sales document: KE
Item category: KEN
shedule line category: C0 or C1
Here you are invoicing the customer(because he used the goods). you are assigning the delivery documnt and billing document to the sales document.
In item category, you are setting relevent for billing, pricing, special stock.
In schedule line category, your setting is 633 movement type, relevent for availability check & TOR.
3. Consignment Return:
Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods he want to send it back. that you are creating this document.
Sales document type: KR
Item category: KRN
Shedule line category: D0
You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. you will create return order, return delivery, return billing.
Your setting item category relevent for billing, returns, pricing, special stock.
Your setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability NO TOR.
4. Consignment Pick up:
Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. here the owner ship is not changing so you do not need to create billing.
Assign retrun delivery to sales document type.
Sales document: KA
Item category: KAN
schedule line category: F0 & F1
Your setting item category relevent for returns. any shedule line category relevent for 632 movement type, MRP, availability check, delivery.
Now you check your plant stock. Stock will increase.

Can Archive Link be used to store the docs from SAP R/3 to KM Repository

Hi All,
Could you please advice whether archive link can be used to store documents from SAP R/3 enviroment to KM Repository. I have verified the storage types that archive link can support (Like HTTP Content Server) . But i couldn't see any storage type out there which is compatible with KM Content storage.
If it is not possible, Could you please advice is there any way to store the documents from SAP R/3 environment to KM Repository.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

Hi Vivek,
until now I haven't found a solution in detail, but some ways to verify the connection.
I wrote about a tool that export the pdf to the filesystem, this wont be able at this time, it must developed, because a function will place the data in a sap table and from this point there we can export it on the filesystem after we've develop some abap code.
I thought that was already available, but that what i found was the Report RSTXPDFT4 in the sap system, with this you can transfer spool to pdf and store the file in dialog on a filesystem, there will webdav be able to use, but it must be batch.
So I search to a new way, I try to set the repository for rooms from persitence from db to fsdb, this works, but with our patch sp9 there are some errors, so i must patch it to sp 15/16 first.
I'm able to make the netshare on windows, so the repository is reachable with an unc Path. If the report, that must be written can access such unc path (normaly thats works in the same domain) we can store the Files in the room workspace document folder an the portal synch job can make the rest. >IN the sap system there must be a table to map the rooms to the responsable folder.
This way should be work, but it isn't fine for productive, I heard from a way to transfer the data with java. In CRm System there should be a fnction from sap CRM_ISA_ORDER_CONVERT_TO_PDF and the isa use the java-stream to transform it in pdf, but this is nothing for me, that must be checked from a java developer, a colleague of my will check this.

Is there any way by which I can show the original document name as selected by user?
Thanks in advance.

Queries related to DMS and Archive link

Hi Experts,
1. Is it possible to link documents in MIGO or FB03 through Archive link with documents already stored via OAWD or CV01N.
2. Can we use any single transaction code for reporting purpose where we can find all the documents stored via DMS and Archive link.
Kind Regards,
Vikas

Hi,
Christoph already answered that question in regard to document info records.
Regarding documents from OAWD, your question is a bit surprising. The main idea of OAWD is to trigger a workflow for linking an external document to a SAP object (document in FB03 or whatever). This is done via ArchiveLink, so all documents linked via OAWD will appear in transactions like MIGO or FB03. Once more, please refer to the documentation:
[Storage Scenarios with Integration of SAP Business Workflow|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4c/f3ee755e21458ae10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]

Problem viewing .xlsx and .xlsm file in DMS using Display from Archive Link

Hello All,
We are using IXOS as a content server for storing the documents through SAP Archive Link.
We are not storing any documents in SAP DMS.
The client has an requirement to manage .xlsx and .xlsm documents.
1. xlsx - We defined a new document class xlsx under SAP NetWeaver ..-> ArchvieLink and made the required mime and sheet settings. This allows to upload a .xlsx file to IXOS server succesfully (using Check in Archive) link.
But whenever we try to view the file using "Display from Archive", the browser gives a warning message that the file is in different format than xls. Do you want to still open (Standard Excel application message). On clicking yes, the file opens in .xls format instead of .xlsx.
The client doesn't want to change the format to .xls. What can be done to preserve the .xlsx files.
2. xlsm - Any clue as to does SAP ECC 6.0 support this file type for DMS? And if how the config settings are to be done?
I will be grateful any help.
Thanks.
Ketki

Hi Ketki,
based on your description I think that maybe SAP note 1289314 could help here and made sure that the local copy also has extension XLSX or XLSM.
Best regards,
Christoph

Mass upload of documents through SAP Archive Link

Hi Experts,
Our client is having a requirement, to upload legacy (old) data from third party tool to DMS Content server through Archive link. Tool is implemented and it works fine for attaching individual document along with SAP Object like, Purchase Order, material, etc.
We dont have any idea as how to upload bulk of drawings for material, need your advice on this.
Regards,

Hi,
I am trying to get more info on how to bulk upload employee documentation through SAP Archive Link' OpenText Enterprise Scan into the categories in OAWD. Once the documents are in Enterprise Scan the Administrator needs to link these to the categories in SAP. This is a manual process - is there a way to bulk upload these documentation to the right categories? Since these documents vary I am not sure that OCR will be a help.
Pleae could you help in this regard.
Thank you.

Archive Link Authorization problem for Business Partner.

Hi Experts,
Currently we are attaching documents to respective objects through Tr. OAWD & these documents are available in service for object as attachment, until this it is working fine.
But we are facing problem of authorization for archive link of ISU- Business Partner. Letu2019s say we had two users USER-A & USER-B responsible to upload documents of Business partners started with 1 & 2 respectively.
We needed authorization control for USER A&B so that,
USER-A should upload documents for Business Partner 1001 to 1999
& USER-B should upload documents for Business Partner 2001 to 2999
we need to know can we restrict USER A&B so that they can not upload documents for Business Partner for which they are not responsible. we allready checked the roles "SAP_BC_SRV_ARL_* " but not found useful to restrict USER A&B.
Thanks in advance....

Hi Sam,
as this sounds like you search for suitable authorization objects I think that the authorization trace in transaction ST01 could be useful for you. For further information please see the following link: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/AuthorizationTraceintransactionST01

Archive Link Documents

Hi Experts ,
I am currently working on the Web UI component GS_CM . The requirement is to display the name , description and the created by fields entered by the user during the upload process correctly on the web UI. The user would click the advanced button and then click the attachment button in the advanced assignment block to upload documents. These documents are added as archive link documents. In the current state only the extension name ( E.g. xls ) is displayed. The data entered by the user is being populated correctly but I am not able to figure out where the attributes are being set and where wrong information is being picked up . Could anyone with experience in attachments and who has worked with the component GS_CM please help me out? Could this be a standard issue? Any reference to SAP notes would be really helpful.
Also is there an API that would fetch the information directly from the database?
Thanks.
P.S: These attached documents are added within a single folder within the Archive link folder. Hence the view for the advanced assignment block has a context node with a tree structure. It is this mode which holds the name , description and the user name.

I assume you have read http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27791 ?
First you must have Services for Objects enabled. Then you will need further enhancement to "Store Business Documents" if yo are truly using "archivelink" documents. If you use create attachment you will just be writting to the SOFFCONT1 table in SAP.
You are spamming all the old threads on this site. This is considered very bad form.
Please be more specific in what you have attempted to implement and you are more likely to get truly helpful answers.

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.
Best regards,
christian
