    SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in
    Applications (BC-SRV-ARL)
    SAP ArchiveLink® is one of the SAP Basis cross-application communication interfaces between
    the SAP System and external components. External components may be general desktop
    applications or external storage systems. The integration of SAP ArchiveLink in the various SAP
    applications enables the storage scenarios explained in this cross-application documentation.
    The documentation is structured as follows:
      An Introductory Section  (Seite 10) containing general information about storing using SAP
    ArchiveLink and about the following documentation
      An application-specific section for each SAP application component (for example, FI, SD,
    HR) with the relevant storage scenarios

    SAP ArchiveLink and Application Scenarios
    10 April 2001
    SAP ArchiveLink and Application Scenarios
    SAP ArchiveLink® is one of the integrated interfaces in the SAP Basis System that can be used
    to store all kinds of documents in external content servers.
    SAP ArchiveLink therefore complements the existing range of SAP application software. For a
    detailed description of SAP ArchiveLink, see Introduction to SAP ArchiveLink  (Extern).
    The SAP application components, for example, SD, FI, HR and MM, support storing using SAP
    ArchiveLink by providing various application scenarios. Inbound documents, outbound
    documents, print lists, archive files, desktop files and binary files are supported.
    How the inbound documents are entered in the system and forwarded for processing and storing
    depends on the storage scenario used. For information about the possible Storage Strategies
    (Extern) , see the documentation SAP ArchiveLink  (Extern).
    This documentation describes the storage scenarios that are integrated in the SAP applications,
    for example, how Sales and Distribution (SD) documents can be stored in external storage
    systems using SAP ArchiveLink.
    Archiving in databases using the ADK (Archive Development Kit) is not the same as
    storing using SAP ArchiveLink.
    For informationen about data archiving using the ADK archiving transaction, see the
    documentation Archiving and Deleting Application Data  (Extern).
    SAP AG SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in Applications (BC-SRV-ARL)
    SAP ArchiveLink: Overview
    April 2001 11
    SAP ArchiveLink: Overview
    Background
    There is a growing trend nowadays to transfer stored data from paper/microfiche to external
    “content servers” (for example, archives). Companies are obliged by law and/or internal
    standards to keep documents for a certain length of time. Traditionally, paper archives or
    microfilms have been used, but these methods are very expensive, either due to copying costs or
    the large amount of space required by such archives. By contrast, electronic storing methods are
    a much cheaper option and represent an important part of the “paperless office” concept.
    SAP’s R/3 System supports a variety of business processes, which can involve documents both
    in paper form and in electronic form. The documents either serve to trigger all kinds of processing
    steps in FI, SD, HR and so on, or they are documents relating to processes in one of these
    application areas.
    When linked to SAP applications, content servers and the SAP ArchiveLink interface allow
    flexible access to all document searches available in the SAP System and can therefore lead to
    considerable time savings. In addition, a combination of the SAP System and SAP ArchiveLink
    allows users multiple access (parallel and direct) to stored documents from their work center
    without the need for time-consuming searches, which guarantees faster access to documents.
    The subsequent sections of this documentation describe the integration of SAP ArchiveLink in
    the functions of various application components within the SAP System.
    Concept
    SAP ArchiveLink provides the following interfaces:
      User interface
      Application Interface
    This interface consists of function modules, which must be integrated in the SAP
    applications, if SAP ArchiveLink functions are to be used.
    Business objects are linked to stored documents and object methods are available that
    allow storing using SAP ArchiveLink to be integrated flexibly in SAP Business Workflow.
      Interface between SAP and external components and general desktop applications
    External components may be HTTP content servers, for example. General desktop
    applications may be MS Word and MS Excel, for example.
    Positioning SAP ArchiveLink
    SAP ArchiveLink enables
      Incoming documents to be stored in the SAP System
      Information from the SAP System (for example, outgoing documents and print lists) to be
    stored
      Direct access from SAP application components to stored documents
      Integration of external content servers with the SAP System
    SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in Applications (BC-SRV-ARL) SAP AG
    SAP ArchiveLink: Overview
    The SAP ArchiveLink-specific Terms  (Extern) “document”, “technical document class”, “document
    type”, “object type” and “synchronous storing” and “asynchronous storing” are explained in the
    SAP ArchiveLink documentation, which also contains information on the Administration Concept
    (Extern) (content servers, links and link tables).
    Technical Basis
    Links from documents to business objects are created by the generation of a link table entry,
    which contains both a unique identification for each business object using the object type and
    object key and a reference to a stored document using the content server ID and a unique key for
    each document stored in this content server. It is therefore possible to create a link between a
    business object and any number of documents using a simple 1:n relationship in a table. No
    entry is required in the application tables in which the business objects are managed. If the link
    table entry for an stored document is deleted, all references in the SAP System to this stored
    document are also deleted. This technique allows the options for accessing stored documents to
    be integrated flexibly into the SAP System.
    Application Interface
    The interface to the SAP applications contains the following functions:
      Linking business objects with stored documents
    This function is used to display, retrieve or store stored documents directly from the
    business object. An example of this is the link between an F1 business object invoice
    and original invoices that have been scanned into the system.
      Linking business objects with stored outgoing documents
    This function is used to store documents generated using SAPscript and link them with
    the relevant business objects. Examples of documents are outbound quotations, order
    confirmations, purchase orders and invoices.
      Storing print lists
    The process for storing print lists is the same as for outgoing documents.
    As of R/3 Release 4.6C, application objects archived in data archiving (ADK) are not
    stored using SAP ArchiveLink, but rather using the Content Management Service
    (Extern) of the SAP Knowledge Provider  (Extern) (KPro).
    Integration Status
    Many applications in the SAP System are linked directly or indirectly with SAP ArchiveLink:
      Direct link
    – FI
    – MM
    – SD
      Indirect link
      Via the DMS (document management system): MM, PP,...
    SAP AG SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in Applications (BC-SRV-ARL)
    SAP ArchiveLink: Overview
    April 2001 13
    SAP ArchiveLink is centrally integrated in the DMS and all applications with object
    links to the DMS are therefore linked to SAP ArchiveLink.
      Via MC (Message Control): MM, SD,...
    The integration of SAP ArchiveLink in message control allows outgoing documents to
    be stored.
      Via SAPconnect and the Business Workplace: Faxes
    Inbound faxes can be processed directly in the Business Workplace, stored and
    linked with business objects without having to be printed first.
    Generic Object Services
    For R/3 Release 4.0A, generic object services are provided for four SAP ArchiveLink
    functions via the system menu for all SAP applications.
    From the business objects implemented in the SAP applications, four SAP ArchiveLink functions
    can be executed in all applications and independently of which application is involved:
      You can display the hit list of stored documents
      You can assign stored documents subsequently to a business object.
      You can store documents in dialog
      You can create a bar code for a business object
    These functions are integrated into all SAP applications via object services. There is no need for
    special function modules to be integrated in the applications. For more information, see Generic
    Object Services  (Extern).
    For these functions to work smoothly, object orientation in the SAP application and
    support of object services are important.
    For more information, see Business Context Facilities and Generic Object
    Relationships  (Extern).

    Storing Lists in the Report Tree (BC)
    Use
    This section describes the storing of lists generated by executing reports in report trees. The
    process is not application-specific and is usually possible for any list unless storing is specifically
    prohibited in the program.
    Users can access reports that they require in the hierarchical structure of the report tree easily
    from all applications, via general report selection in the SAP information system.
    The SAP standard report tree contains several standard reports for all applications. To access
    reports from a particular application, you must expand the structure until you reach a list of
    reports on the lowest level. Here you select and execute the required report. You can display the
    result on the screen or print it via the spool system.
    Companies can configure the standard report tree to suit their requirements. For example, you
    can add your own reports or pre-generated lists and even change the entire structure.

    Storing Business Workplace Documents
    Use
    Documents stored in the Business Workplace  (Extern) are usually stored in the R/3 database (PC
    documents and binary documents can also be stored in an HTTP content server). To save
    memory space in the database, you can store documents in an external storage system using
    SAP ArchiveLink. The content of the documents that you have stored using SAP ArchiveLink is
    then deleted from the database.
    You can only retrieve Workplace documents stored using SAP ArchiveLink from the
    external storage system, from within the R/3 System. Direct access within the
    storage system is not possible.

    Digital Original Application Files (CA-DMS)
    For each document info record, you can maintain and archive two original application files.
    Each original application file can be linked to a maximum of 99 additional files. These are
    archived automatically when you archive the original application file.
    Functions
    You process original application files with the following menu option of the document info record:
    Extras   Originals   File 1(2)
    The following functions for archiving and processing archived original application files are
    available:

    Notes on archiving original application files
      The system checks the application that is used to process the original application file (for
    example, WinWord 7.0).
    In the IMG for the Document Management System in the activity Define workstation
    applications, you define the archives for the various applications (for example, archive A2
    for the application WinWord 7.0).
      The system does not log the archiving of original application files. However, in the IMG for
    the Document Management System, you can define in the activity Define document types
    that all field changes are to be logged (Indicator: Create change documents).
    If you have archived an original application file with the function Check in archive, you
    can track any changes to the storage data (fields Data carrier and Original) in the change
    documents.
    Notes on processing archived original application files
    You have two options for processing an archived original application file:

    Creating a New Version (CA-DMS)
    April 2001 27
    Creating a New Version (CA-DMS)
    This means that you keep the old version (for example, 00) containing the archived original
    application file and create a new version (for example, 01) directly from the old version. For the
    new version, you then change the original application file.
    To process the archived original application file (new version):
    1. On the Basic data screen, choose Document   New version.
    The system copies the data of the existing version (for example, 00), including the archived
    original application data.
    2. In the new version (for example, 01), the original application file is still archived.
    3. Choose Extras   File 1(2)   Change.
    The system automatically creates a copy of the checked in original application file.
    – Enter the target for the copy. This path identifies the place where the original
    application file for the new version (for example, 01) is stored.
    – If the system accepts your entries, you see a dialog box with the following message:

    Changing an Original Application File for an Existing Version (CA-DMS)
    28 April 2001
    Changing an Original Application File for an Existing
    Version (CA-DMS)
    This means that you change the version whose original application file has been archived. There
    is only one version in this case.
    You can display the processing status that the original application file had in the archive from the
    status log if the following applies:
    When checking the original application file into the archive, you set a status for which the
    Indicator: Audit function is selected. This indicator causes original application files that are

    Storing Incoming Documents (FI)
    Use
    In the FI application component, you can transfer incoming documents (invoices, credit memos)
    to an external archive system using SAP ArchiveLink. Data can be stored in different ways:
      Store for subsequent entry
      Store and enter, and
      Late storing with bar codes
      Assign, then store
    For detailed information on the ways in which you can store documents, see Storage
    Strategies  (Extern) in the SAP ArchiveLink documentation.
    The procedure Store for entry later with document parking is different to other storage
    methods. Under this procedure, processing is even more automated than it would otherwise be.
    The accounting clerk responsible for parking documents receives an incoming document (an
    invoice for example) via SAP Business Workflow. In the entry transaction to which the invoice
    is subject, the clerk can park this document using the existing incoming document. He or she can
    then send the parked invoice together with the incoming document for further processing
    (approval or additional investigation) to the relevant colleague. This colleague can then complete
    processing and post the invoice.

    The SAP ArchiveLink interface supports the following archiving scenarios for incoming
    documents in SD:
      Early archiving
      Late archiving
      Late archiving using bar codes
      Simultaneous archiving
    Early Archiving
    In the early archiving scenario, incoming paper documents are archived in the R/3 System before
    an SD document is created.
    In early archiving, the archiving process usually begins in a central mailroom where a designated
    person opens, presorts, prepares, and records (scans) the incoming mail. Once an incoming
    document is scanned and an incoming document type is assigned to it, the system triggers the
    SAP Business Workflow to notify the authorized employee(s) that an incoming document has
    been received and is due to be processed. When the employee accesses the archived
    document, the system automatically calls up the relevant business transaction, such as Create
    sales order, according to the incoming document type. After the employee creates and saves the
    SD document, the system automatically assigns the archived document to it.
    For a detailed description of early archiving, see Early Archiving (SD)  (Seite 54).
    Late Archiving
    In the late archiving scenario, incoming paper documents are archived in the R/3 System and
    assigned to existing Sales and Distribution documents.
    In late archiving, an employee processes an original document directly from paper or carries out
    a sales activity before receiving an original document. At a later point in time, the original
    document is scanned into the system and archived as a facsimile. It is then assigned to the
    existing SD document by:
      The person at the archiving station who scans the original documents
      The person responsible for processing the SD document
    As in the scenario for early archiving, the archiving process usually takes place in a central
    location at the company.
    For a detailed description of late archiving, see Late Archiving (SD)  (Seite 55).
    Late Archiving Using Bar Codes
    Late archiving using bar codes is a special form of late archiving. In this case, however, a bar
    code is attached to the incoming document either in the mail room or at the time of processing.
    SAP AG SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in Applications (BC-SRV-ARL)
    Business Background (SD)
    April 2001 53
    An SD document is created from the original document whose bar code ID is linked to the SD
    document number. Later, the original document is scanned into the system which recognizes the
    bar code ID and automatically makes the proper assignment to the SD document.
    For a detailed description of late archiving using bar codes, see Late Archiving Using Bar Codes
    (SD)  (Seite 56).
    Simultaneous Archiving
    Simultaneous archiving is a special form of early archiving in which the incoming document is
    scanned into the system, optically archived and, at the same time in another window, the
    corresponding SD document is created or changed. The system does not activate SAP
    Business Workflow in this case; no mail is sent.
    For a detailed description of simultaneous archiving, see Simultaneous Archiving (SD)  (Seite 57).
    SAP ArchiveLink - Scenarios in Applications (BC-SRV-ARL) SAP AG
    Early Archiving (SD)
    54 April 2001
    Early Archiving (SD)
    The following steps describe a typical scenario in which incoming paper documents are archived
    before a Sales and Distribution document is created:
    1. A clerk in the central mail room of a company receives a letter from a customer who wishes
    to buy several products.
    2. The clerk scans the letter into a scanning system.
    The system displays the letter in the scan dialog window.
    3. Using the SAP ArchiveLink interface in the R/3 System, the clerk or another designated
    employee selects the function for early archiving and chooses an appropriate incoming
    document type for the scanned document, for example, the general description “Customer
    response to a sales activity”, SDIACTRESP.
    4. The clerk confirms the assignment of the incoming document type.
    This triggers a workflow in which a mail is sent to the employee who is responsible for
    creating sales documents, in this case Mr. Jones in the Sales department.
    All employees who are to be notified by SAP Business Workflow must first be listed
    in the company’s organizational structure (see Customizing for SAP Business
    Workflow).
    5. Mr. Jones receives the work item in his integrated inbox. When he calls up the work item for
    processing, a dialog box appears in which Mr. Jones can confirm or overwrite th

    Hi Prasad,
    if you have performance problems with your table because of lots of different controls in it, then maybe you could try instead of that to create two tables, one for display of rows  (only textviews), and the other table for editing only one row (currently selected row). The second (for edit) table can be shown only when you want to add a new row, or edit selected row and it can be hidden when you are finished with editing selected row.
    In that way you can have one big table with only textviews and no events, and one small - one row table for editing with dropdowns, datepickers etc.
    You can put EditTable(the one for editing) above ShowTable (the one in which you display rows as textviews).
    ie.
    EditTable
    ShowTable
    Hope that helps,
    Ladislav

  • Using unicode in sms sending :)plz. urgent reply is needed.

    when i want to send a sms of string of unicode. is it necessary to encode it in UTF8 or UTF16 ???
    when i encode it then the length of the string comes larger.
    can i send sms as a string of unicode without changing its length????
    like this:
    String str="\u270F";
    // now str's length is 1
    str = new String(str.getBytes("UTF16"));
    //now str's length is 4!!!!!!!!
    plz. urgent reply is needed.
    best regards
    tanvir

    By default SMS has it's own text encoding and therefore you cannot use UTF8 nor UTF16. There is a special UCS2 encoding, alowing for 70 unicode characters to be send (per sms). See: http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/

    had to reload window Vista need to reload stored cds from Windowsold file

      had to reload my computer after a HD failure. I reloaded everything along with current version of Itunes.
    Consider Windows 7 has its own built in data and system backup, and now Windows 7 (Dev) has a better hourly backup/archive versions, and there are 3rd party programs....
    you have the CDs still?
    Prosoft Data Rescue 3 for PC and Macs (demo) can scan a drive for recovery.
    Bad blocks, or issues with directory and such? out right hard drive failure?
    And then there are network storage if you have more than one computer, or use HomeGroup (Win 7) to access files across LAN.
    My Music Media Library is never on the boot drive, I wish the iPod backup wasnt as well.
    For an excellent utility to clone Windows OS drive2drive, I recommend and use Paragon HDM 2011 Suite, used as needed and weekly so I always have a system clone that I can pop in and boot from, no image, no restore needed (set the BIOS or hot key).  Wouldn't be w/o and $49. Takes 10 minutes for 50GB Windows OS.

  • Storing of MSDS in SAP Content Server - Part2

    Hi Friends,
    I already raised this issue in link given below.
    Storing of MSDS in SAP Content Server
    Ealier I did not tried this as we did not received the hardaware,
    Now I did configuration as per the note  " 1408009 - Settings for EH&S Product Safety documents" for SAP EHS document Type.
    But when I try to generate report, its giving me error as given below.
    Check Document Type SBR
    Internal error in function C14SX_DOCUMENT_ORIGINAL_PUT (exception 0)
    Saving document data has failed
    Error while checking in and storing: report.rtf
    Can you guys help me if any more configurations are needed or am I missing something. The content Server is of OpenText and not SAP Content Server.
    Thanks.
    With Warm Regards
    Mangesh Pande

    HI Mangesh,
    Try to figure out if it is only DMS related - or if it is something wrong with the EH&S part of the setup:
    Create an SBR Document manually via CV01n.
    If this fails - at least the DMS Setup is wrong.
    If this works - DMS settings should be fine and the problem is on EH&S side.
    Check the Application log for errors as well - there might be more details in there.

  • New to sap - need help in configure backup strategy for SAP XI server.

    hi gurus
    being a netweaver guy, recently i have been given  the responsibility of few basis activities.like database backup.
    can any one tell me clear procedure to take both daily online and weekend full offline backup of oracle in to disk first and then to tape.   i have seen in the internet  material few discussing about brbackup and few about sap DB13. i am totally confused which one to use, and which is good. please help
    akhil

    Hi,
    welcome on board as SAP Netweaver guy,
    don't be confused both DB13 and BRtools are the same both of them will call brbackup.
    to configure the brtools you have to change in your brtools profiles located at  %ORACLE_HOME%/dbs
    please before changing any thing take backup from that folder.
    - to take the backup to disk then to tape you will need extra backup software, because using the SAP slandered tools you have to select either Disk or Tape.
    Thanks

  • Need ur valuable suggestions on performance in sap BI

    Hi All,
    Hope every one is doing great. Need ur valuable suggestions on performance in SAP BI.
    1. what is meant by DB partitioning, in which scenario we use it and what the steps to do this task.
    2. Navigational attributes are use when v want to make use of this attr in reporting with certian actions. My question is do navigational attributes improves the performance if so how and if not what are the draw backs.
    3. Multiprovider are use to access the data from different infoprovider to generate the reports.
    In what way multiprovider inproves the performance??
    4. Number Range buffering when it is used what r the steps has to follow ??
    5. what is the procedure to calculate the DB statistics. what are the technical conents v install for this, when we install this befor the development are after completion of the developement and   in what way they are helpfull to measure the performance.
    Thanks in Advance

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/33/dc2038aa3bcd23e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
    2. Navigational attributes are use when v want to make use of this attr in reporting with certian actions. My question is do navigational attributes improves the performance if so how and if not what are the draw backs.
    Nav Attribute:-
    The dataflow performance/space is affected in the infoobject load, since the sid tables is growing with navigational attributes
    The dataflow performance/space is not affected in transactional data (except for the aggregates).
    So every navigationa attribute in an infoobject can be added to the infocubes without any cost.
    The performance in query is affected, but the solution is simple: do not use!
    Please check the following thread:
    Re: Navigate Attribute
    3. Multiprovider are use to access the data from different infoprovider to generate the reports.
    In what way multiprovider inproves the performance??
    --THis causes performance degradation as OLAP has to divide the query in many sub-queries.
    4. Number Range buffering when it is used what r the steps has to follow ??
    5. what is the procedure to calculate the DB statistics. what are the technical conents v install for this, when we install this befor the development are after completion of the developement and in what way they are helpfull to measure the performance.

  • Can a SQL Server stored procedure call an SAP function module?

    Can a SQL Server stored procedure call an SAP function module.? The stored procedure will be called via a trigger when data records are added to a Z table.

    You have two options:

  • Valid period for stored documents (Archive Link)

    Hello,
    Can someone please confirm if the stored documents within Archive Link can be retrieved after more than 10 years or is there an expire date setting?
    Thanks.

    SAP does not work like "Mission Impossible", that a document disappears itself after a certain time.
    If you archive documents, then it is still up to you, when you want to dispose this archive.
    E.g. you have to keep financial data for 10 years as requested by law.
    But you want keep your database small and want have a good performance.
    So you decide to archive everything what is older than e.g. 2 years.
    The older documents are written to an archive file and deleted from the table spaces.
    The archive can stay in the SAP file system (quickest access) or in an external archive system like IXOS.
    You have to make sure that you keep this archive with data older than 2 years for another 8 year to comply with the legal requirement.
    If the 10 years have past, then you archive the archive information (this has the info where your archive is located)  itself  and remove the indexes to the archived documents that are older than 10 years.
    Then you take the disk from the IXOS system and destroy it.
    If you dont archive the archive infos (SARA for BC_ARCHIVE) and dont destroy the archive files then you may be able to access the data far beyond the 10 years.
