Upgrade 4.6C -- ERP2005 and "Services for object" in all modules

Hello,
We have used Services for object in several modules; mainly MM, QM, and SD. The types used are URL, notes, private notes, and attachments.
For example a vendor master (tra XK02) can have attachments, private notes, and URL.
From where can I find information what will happen and how to handle all this data when the upgrade from 4.6C to ERP2005 (Unicode compatible) will take place? We need to know how to store the data.
I haven't located any tables or structures.
Help is highly appreciated and points rewarded.
BR,
Pia

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. So, according to your knowledge the paths are adjusted during the upgrade?

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.

Difference in storage method for DMS and Services for Object

Hi-
Our R/3 version is: 4.7 Enterprise.
In most (if not all) of the transactions users execute, there is a feature where they can attach a file using "Services for Object" from their PC to the associated record (i.e. material master, purchase orders, service notifications, etc.)
What I would like to know is where the document is stored. From what I found on help.sap.com it says that it is a link from the user's PC. But I would guess it is storing a copy of the file as a blob on the R/3 server somewhere. Is this true? Or is there a risk if the user's harddrive dies, that the file is no longer available for viewing?
I am trying to determine the difference between using the Services for Object feature vs. DMS and setting up an object link for the specific object type (i.e. material).
Thanks!
-Jenn

I found the following about Services for Objects:
Business Workplace
The documents that were appended to an object using Create attachment and Create note are stored in the Business Workplace. There, for example, you can make settings for where the documents should be stored (R/3 System or Web Server) and which document classes may be loaded in the SAP System (for example DOC, but not EXE).
Sending is also carried out internally using the Business Workplace. Messages are created that contain a link to the object as an attachment. By double-clicking on the attachment, the users can call the default method of the object. This is normally the display method.

Services for object in VA01 and VA41

Hello Seniors,
I want to use the "services for object" ( icon that comes on the top left corner ) for transactions VA01 and VA41. I have enabled it for VA02, VA03, VA42 and VA43 by going to the path system-> User profile -> Own data-> parameters tab by passing 'X' for the parameter ID "SD_SWU_ACTIVE" . What do I do to get it enabled for the transactions VA01(Create Sales Order) and VA41(create contract) also.

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.

Service for Objects toolbox and PA30

Dear Gurus!
In PA30 main screen there is a button "Service for object". When I press "Display" and "Change" , and enter to PA30 subscreens, this button does not apper.
Why?
Regards
Vladimir

Hi ..
You are right it does not appear in the other screens. This icon is only configured at the SAPMP50A screen ( PA30 Main screen).
The reason is that the services are Generic not for specific infotypes in PA30.
Hope this helps. If so reward.
Thanks

Services for Object in delivery (VL01N, VL02N and VL03N)

is there a way to get the Services for Object button also in delivery?
For sales order I know, the parameter "SD_SWU_ACTIVE" needs to be added, but for delivery?
Thank you for help,

Cannot view workflow log via Services for Object Workflow Overview

We recently had an upgrade of R3/ECC and discovered a new issue. For some reason we can no longer view workflow log via Services for Object > Workflow Overview for Material Master (transaction MM03). We get the message "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object". However, we have confirmed via SWEL and other t-codes that the workflow and log do exist. This seems to be the only object we have this issue for after the upgrade.
Anyone know what issue is and how to fix?   Or at least path to config in SPRO for "generic object services" where we can see if anything changed via upgrade for this object?
Thanks,
Matt
Edited by: Matthew Huth on Apr 22, 2008 9:23 PM

Found the solution. See OSS note 553246. This has been tested and works for us.   -Matt
Note 553246
Summary
Symptom
In the material master, the system no longer displays the attachments for the material or workflow items in the Generic Object Services.
Other terms
MM01, MM02, MM03
Reason and Prerequisites
As of Release 4.6B, business object BUS1001006 is valid for the material master. Until you have implemented Note 452424, the Generic Object Services is still published for the old BUS1001 business object. After implementing the note, all attachments, relationships, notes and workflow items that are assigned to business object BUS1001 are no longer displayed.
Instead, all new attachments are assigned to business object BUS1001006. As a result, attachments cannot exist for both systems.
For workflow items, the assignment to the business object occurs in the respective tasks. It may be very time consuming to convert the business object, depending on whether an individual subtype (assigned to BUS1001) is created.
In other words, after you implement the note, the workflow items for business object BUS1001 can no longer be displayed in the material master.
Solution
With the following correction you can call the Generic Object Services for both business objects. When it is called, the system displays a dialog box in which you can choose the required business object, that is, BUS1001 ('Material') or BUS1001006 ('Standard material').
This correction is delivered as a modification supported by SAP only. This is because the additional option means that attachments can be maintained as required in either of the business objects and users may therefore require extra training.
However, the corrections enable you to display attachments and workflow items for both business objects without the need for a major conversion; this means that you do not get the impression that these have been lost.
Alternatively, as of Release 4.70 (or Basis 6.20) you can, without making a modification, implement method ADD_OBJECTS of BAdI GOS_MULT_PUBLISH for filter attribute WF_OVERVIEW ('Workflow overview'), SRELATIONS ('Relationships') and VIEW_ATTA ('Attachment list'). The implementation should be similar to the following:
METHOD if_ex_gos_mult_publish~add_objects .
DATA:
    ls_lporb TYPE sibflporb.
READ TABLE ct_lporb INTO ls_lporb INDEX 1.
if ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001006'.
    ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001'.
    append ls_lporb to ct_lporb.
endif.
endmethod.

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

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.

Services for Object in creation mode

Hi colleagues,
I am facing one problem and I would appreciate your help and ideas. I want to enable user to use a functionality of "Services for object" in creation mode (in my case transaction IW31). In change or display mode this functionality is enabled, so creating new BOR object and such things are not necessary.
I understand that services for object are disabled by default in creation mode, because it is not meaningful to assign some documents to object which does not yet exist. But in theoretical way, it should be possible to implement some "tricky" solution. Probably some temporary object could be created at the start of IW31 and attachments could be assigned to this object. And in some user exit executed during processing of save statement (after all checks and such things), attachments could be re-assigned to a real (persistent) object. For unsaved orders it would be necessary to delete temporary object and also attached documents.
Have someone implemented something similar? Or any helpful ideas?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi,
We have implemented exactly the same in a Ztransaction. Not sure to what extent this will help you. Check below code
CREATE OBJECT w_gosman
EXPORTING
* io_container = io_container
* is_bc_object = is_bc_object
 is_object = wa_object "BOR object
* it_service_selection =
* io_callback = io_callback
* ip_start_direct = space
 ip_no_instance = l_inst "Pass SPACE in your case
 ip_no_commit = l_commit "Pass SPACE in your case
 ip_mode = c_e
EXCEPTIONS
 object_invalid = 1
 callback_invalid = 2
 OTHERS = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
"Here just we are creating a reference by publishing the object.
"During the transaction commit call below method.
wa_object-objkey = "Pass your object ID.
wa_object-objtyp = "Pass your business object
 CALL METHOD w_gosman->set_id_of_published_object
 EXPORTING
* is_bc_object = is_object
 is_object = wa_object
 EXCEPTIONS
 no_publication = 1
 OTHERS = 2
 COMMIT WORK.

Attachment list in Services for Object toolbar

Does anybody know if there is any user exit or BADI that I can use to filter certain file attachments in Attachment list of Services for Object toolbar.
For example, in transaction XK03 (Vendor display), Services for Object toolbar, you can see the Attachment list and it will display list of pc file attachments, however, we have a requirement to display only those that met certain criteria, is there any BADI or user exit for this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

you can use BADI
GOS_SRV_SELECT
for this.

Services for object buttons randomly disappearing from FB03

Hello SAP Experts,
We display an FI document via tcode FB03 (Display Document) and use the "services for object" buttons to attach documents via the "create attachment" button and also to view attached documents via the "attachment list" button.
However, quite often when displaying the FI document after a document has been attached, the "services for objects" buttons are not displayed. Just a blank toolbar appears.
Later on the when the FI document is displayed again via tcode FB03 (Display Document), the "services for objects" buttons do appear and the attachments can then be displayed.
As the attachments can be viewed sometimes, I would say that this issue is not related to security.
Any idea's what maybe causing the "services for objects" buttons randomly disappearing???

SAP Muppet
