.vsd application in SAP DMS

Hi friends,
I have .vsd application file to upload in SAP DMS. But SAP DMS does not supports this kind of application. What to do? kindly help me out.
Regards,
Punam

Hi Punam
You can define the application(.vsd) in the t.code DC30. And also the file formats it supports. After you define here you will be able to use in DMS.
From the DMS you will be able to open the .vsd file if you have the .VSD application installed in your system.
But you cannot view the file in ECL viewer because ECL Viewer 6 doesn't supports this format.
ECL Viewer 6.0 Supports the file formats mentioned in note 381860 plus the following formats are also now supported.
PDF with redlining
AutoCAD 2007 (DWG)
DGN
902

How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

Hello All,
 I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
 I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
a, DOC Type
b, DOC Number
c, Document part and
d, Document version.
then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello All,
 I found the FM : CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD which wil return the file path.
But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
But all the classes use a gui.
Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
Please suggest me .
I too went thru the BSP Applications CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.
But these are used to display only the thumbnails.
There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.
Regards,
Deepu.K

Migration of SAP DMS documents from RFC Archive to SAP HTTP Content Server

Can anyone verify the correct OSS for the migration of documents from an RFC Archive repository (non SAP) in SAP DMS to a SAP Content Server HTTP Repository. Most of the OSS notes seem to indicate HTTP to HTTP migrations or based storage category migrations.
Which is the most suitable for this?
Edited by: Athol Hill on Oct 30, 2009 2:35 PM

Dear Athol,
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
Best regards,
Christoph

How to use XI to retreive document files from SAP DMS?

Hello XI experts,
We have external application php that runs on separate non-sap server.
I am willing to retrieve document from SAP DMS (documents management system) via XI and forward them to this application. The files are usually ms office format when you display them ( but I am not sure how they are stored in database)
Anyone can tell me please if I can use XI for this purpose?
How is going to be the connection and the retrieval done on DMS side ?
What adapter will be used and how the file will be transferred via XI?
Also I will appreciate any directions in connecting the php application side. What Adapters will be used , how doc file can be send (I guess as an attachments )?
Appreciate any help!

SAP-DMS and NetWeaver Enterprise Search 7.2

Good day Experts,
I will be thankful to you if anyone can help me with the following query.
In SAP-DMS, we have got a reporting transaction CV04n which has got a facility to search for 'Text Search Within Original'. There is neat procedure if one wants to configure this feature for SAP-DMS. The procedure is as under
(Re: Document text search in cv04n with TREX)
1) Transaction: SRMO
Install TREX search engine, and create RFC destination to connect to
TREX.
2) Transaction: SKPR06
Check the flag to Document Area "DMS" to utilize this document area for
document search.
3) Transaction: SE38
Run the report program "RSTIRIDX_REINDEX" to create Index.
Also, run the report program "RSTIRIDX" to create Index as well.
4) SPRO IMG customizing; (Create MIME Types)
Cross-Application Components > Document Management System > General
Data > Settings for Storage Systems > Create MIME types for full
text search, Enter MIME type such as "application/msword",
"application/pdf".
5) Then, test retrieval document search using
Transaction: SKPR07.
Enter Document Class "DMS_PCD1", Language "EN", Document Class "DMS",
and try "TEST search".
We know from Karsten's SDN post (What is really 'SAP Netweaver Enterprise Search' ) that this feature is possible with NW Enterprise Search 7.2
u201CWith SAP NW Enterprise Search 7.2 having collected the Embedded Search indexes, the local search functionalities stay active and at the same time SAP NW Enterprise Search enables central search access to all Embedded Search systems in the landscape.u201D
Our query is as under
Does SAP NW Enterprise Search 7.2 ; which has got its own integrated TREX engine needs assistance from TREX engine from our landscape to make this feature work. This is important becuase then we have to have two different set ups.
A set up for SAP NW Enterprise Search 7.2 which is a separately licensed product.
A set up for TREX engine which is part of NetWeaver licence.
Regards,
Sham Bapat

Good day Sham!
The answer is:
No, you will not need the local PLM TREX anymore, as soon as you have installed SAP NWES 7.2 and pointed your PLM there instead of the local TREX.
And, I repeat, your local search functionality inside PLM will still work anyway.
Best, Karsten

Full text search in Filenet via SAP DMS

Hello experts,
Hopefully you can help me with the following. My customer has SAP DMS and uses FileNet (v4.0) as content repository. They use Verity as tool for full text search (SAP and non-SAP). Verity has it's own user interface / search screen. Question is if it is possible for SAP (easy)DMS users to do full text search (via CV04N or EasyDMS searchscreen) and search in the FileNet repository (directly with TREX or via Verity). The customer has the ACSAP connector up and running.
I've implemented TREX with SAP content server and index server before, but I'm not familiar with FileNet possibilities in that area, so hopefully someone has experience with this?
thanks in advance, Erwin

Dear NAG
For text search you have activate TREX Server
follow the steps
Set TREX
A:- Transaction: SRMO
Install TREX , and create RFC destination to connect to
TREX.
B:- Transaction: SKPR06
Check the flag to Document Area "DMS" to utilize this document area for
document search.
For Indexing
A: Transaction: SE38
Run the report program "RSTIRIDX_REINDEX" to create Index.
Also, run the report program "RSTIRIDX" to create Index.
Set mime type for the text search
A: SPRO --
Cross-Application Components > Document Management System > General
Data > Settings for Storage Systems > Create MIME types for full
text search,
Enter MIME type like
"application/msword",
"application/pdf".
Retrive document via Test Search
A: Then, test retrieval document search using
Transaction: SKPR07.
Enter Document Class "DMS_PCD1", Language "EN", Document Class "DMS",
and try "TEST search".

SAP DMS - SAP ECC network traffic

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
The SAP ECC servers are hosted outside my company and we are planning to install a SAP DMS server.
We have 2 options: host the SAP DMS outside or install SAP DMS in our datacenter.
When the SAP user attaches or reads a file to/from SAP DMS, how is the network traffic ?
Is there any traffic fom SAP ECC to SAP DMS or the file goes to/from DMS from/to end-user ?
How SAP DMS impacts my WAN ?
Best Regards,
Leonardo.

Leonardo, I have done some research / trouble shooting and architectural changes to raise the upload / download speeds, there are several dependencies like Network, Application, hardware etc but to your question:
First of all, DMS is a core functionality of ECC and utilizes both ECC for execution and Content Servers (recommended for Obvious performance reasons) for Data Storage. For your case I recommend that you host Content Server at the Data Center (assuming you have no other option) and have a Cache Server installed Onsite. (This requires minimal maintenance). When the user uploads a file the traffic is high as the entire File needs to be transferred to the data center, on the other hand Cache server (if installed onsite) considerably reduces the retrieval time.
Again having said above there are several other parameters that could affect your upload / download speeds.
Hope you'll find this useful, let me know if you have further questions.
regards
C

SAP DMS configuration

Hi all,
Can we upload primavera files in SAP DMS? What settings are required for that from configuration side of DMS.
Kindly help.

Hi,
generally you can add and upload all possible file formats in DMS. Before I would recommend you to create a special workstation application in transaction DC30 where you define the specific file format and all the other settings. You will find a detailed explanation on all the settings by clicking on the blue information button.
By defining the application which should be used for this file format I would recommend you to use the
parameter %AUTO% in ' Define workstation application in network' for all three application types (1-display, 2- edit, 3-print). Again you will find a detailed info in the blue button.
For further information and screenshots please see also the WIKI page
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/plm/2.Customizing%28CA-DMS-EAI%29&
But instead of the parameter 'EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%' use just %AUTO%. This parameter will grant that the correct external viewing application is used to display this kind of files from DMS transaction.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for all useful information.

Link SAP DMS to Content Server

Hi all,
Im user in SDN community, i saw you responding some question about SAP DMS, i have the following scenario :
1.- I use SAP DMS in this moment and attach files from the server file.
2.- Actually i have KM in the company, here have many document for common use to the company. for instance quality control specification documents.
I need link SAP DMS to KM (Content Server), How can i attach files content in km to SAP DMS from transactions CV01N and CV02N. What´s customizing activitys i need apply?
Best Regards,
Jhonny Mogollón
Consultor SAP
Infogesa

Hi Jhonny,
in the standard of transaction CV01N or CV02N you see the original area at the bottom tab Document Data or you can navigate directly to tab Originals. Both times you find the same small icons. To add an original you can use whether the CREATE(white sheet) or OPEN button. If you choose CREATE a pop-up window appears where you can enter all original related data (workstation application, description, ). In the path field you can enter the path to the original manually or you can browse for it using the F4 help. Since you select the correct file on your PC or Server please press OK and the path will be entered in the pop-up field automatically.
After you entered all this data and confirm you will return to the CV01N or CV02N screen and see that the original file is added. However the displayed lock sign is still open which means that the original is not checked in at the moment. Please use the small green CHECKIN icon and select a suitable storage category on the next screen. After confirming your selection and saving the document the original is checked in correctly.
Regarding the customizing I would kindly ask you to check the following settings:
1. Storage category:
Please check if a storage category is maintained in your system. I would recommend you to use the Content Server (KPRO) storage type. Therefore please go to transaction DC10 and choose the
relevant document type. Display its details and you will find a flag called Use KPRO. Please flag it to use the KPRO storage type which is recommended by SAP. You can manage your storage categories and KPRO settings by transaction CSADMIN.
2. Workstation Application:
To store originals in DMS it is necessary to have some workstation applications defined in transaction DC30. These applications are necessary to handle originals correctly. Please maintain a workstation application for each file format to avoid problems in the future. For all further information please see the blue information button in transaction DC30.
Best regards,
Christoph

Using a URL as the original application file in DMS/KPRO

DMS and KPRO
Has anyone had any experience with creating a DIR that points to a document stored on another server via a URL. Such that the original document is not physically checked into the DMS vault. When I enter the URL as the orginal application file the DMS checks the file into the vault and the URL is lost. Is there possibly a better way to try and reference the URL so that I can get to the document and utilize the functions/features I need from SAP?
Thank you for replying in advance.

Hello,
I've followed the thread because we have the same problem. We made all the suggested changes but unfortunately we were not able to add URLs as original applications. We received an error message - which does not say much: "E:26:504 com URL". After some debugging we found out, that the URL http://www.sap.com was treated as a file with the extension .com -> this resulted in the error message. We've made a number of screenshots, with all our customization settings. Can you tell us what to do to add URLs.

Does SAP DMS support EML format

Does SAP DMS support EML format, and how can I make it work?
I know I may need to add a new workstation applications for EML in DC30, but I don't know the detailed settings for e.g: mime-types and viewer configuration, etc. Can anyone help?

Hi,
generally you can define a workstatiosn application for any file format. If the format has an extension with more than 3 characters please set the flag "You cannot rename...." in transaction DC30 to avoid problems.
Regarding the mime-type field I have to say that this is recommended by not really mandatory. Normally you should find the correct mime-type for the file format in the Internet.
In DC30 I would also recommend you to use the parameter %AUTO%%NO-LEAVE% at "Define workstation application in network". With this parameter the EML files will be opened in an external application.
In the field "file format" you just have to enter the value '*.eml'.
I hope that this information could be usful.

Christoph

Difference btw SAP Records managements and SAP DMS?

can some one pls tell me wat is the difference between records management and sap dms...
thank you.

Hi Vivek,
perhaps some remarks to SAP Records Management. SAP Records Management (and SAP Case Management) is a powerful infrastructure for creating cross-component application since you can organize any SAP and Non-SAP information object as a record (tree) in a role based view.
One classical application is the HR personnel record. You collect documents (archived documents as well as DMS documents (with versioning)) together with personnel master data and other information. For each employee there is a record instance.
Another application is a machine record for a machine producer. It is a collection of SD objects and of engineering documents.
A record can also be business partner record collecting information about the business partner and for example other records that refer to the business partner.
Since SAP Records Management is designes as a Service Provider Framework you can integrate any kind of information objects both in SAP and in non-SAP systems.
So, also SAP DMS services can be wrapped as SAP Records Management service provider and hence be used in SAP Records Management applications.
The focus of SAP DMS is the handling of engineering documents and their behaviour in production. Based on SAP Knowledge Provider it is more a document management service.
SAP Records Management is stressing the aspect of building cross component applications and their business flow. SAP already provides a lot of standard service providers but you can also build your own service providers and hence integrate your own objects.
For more information, see the documentation and get a first flavour by starting the transactions ORGANIZER and SRMREGEDIT.
By the way in contrast to SAP DMS, SAP Records Management is part of NetWeaver.

Torsten

SAP : DMS : Performance , is it better than other Document Mgmt system ?.

Is it possible to find out how is SAP DMS (Doc Management System) u2026is the system is scalable , I mean, is there any performance related issues. Some say, it is ok, some say, it is not upto the mark. We require a positive feedback on the same from you all gurus
Thanks
Amit

Hi,
If performance in terms of storage and speed is the issue in SAP DMS, then you can store files in content server.For this you must have a SAP content server. And you nneed to configure contnt reposotories and storage categories.
If you do not use content servers for storage and retrival of the files, the files will be stored in SAP R/3 database.. If the number of fileas are large, the average file size is large and large nu,mber of usrs regularly retrive files, then the performace will go down. Because the application server which is basically meant for retriving data ( which atr in terms of bytes) will also need to handle the the retrivals of foles also(which are in terms of KBs and MBs).
Using a content server will ease the load of file retriving on application server.

SSO to non SAP Application using SAP Logon Ticket

Hi Experts,
I Have EP 7 SP 15 using SPNego Wizard to SSO with Active Directory and SSO between EP and ECC using SAP Certificates.
Now I have a demand to SSO some JAVA based applications (non SAP) to my portal using the SAP Logon Ticket.
I Have followed some blogs that directed me to use SAPSSOEXT (some libs) to read the MYSAPSSO2 cookie. The problem is that I didn't found this cookie, I even executed the command javascript:document to look for this cookie but the browser just show me the JSESSIONID info.
Does anybody knows where I can find this cookie or if there's a better way to set up this SSO? It´s necessary to say that I cannot SSO these application to the kerberos protocol because some security reasons on my company.
Thanks
Armando

Hi,
I dont have much info related but i can giv u hint
refer OSS Notes 442401 and 723896.
When using SAP logon tickets for non-SAP applications, two different implementation options are available. The difference lies in where the ticket verification takes place.
In the first case, the SAP logon ticket is submitted to the web server filter located on the web server. The web server filter verifies the portal serveru2019s public key
certificate using its local Personal Security Environment (PSE) and then populates the HTTP header field with the user ID for SSO to the non-sap web application.
In the second case, the SAP logon ticket is sent to the non-SAP application, which then verifies it using the ticket verification DLL and submits the user ID to the application for SSO.
