XI scenario documentation

Hi Guys,
I am looking for a template to document XI scenarios. - Such as adapter type, structures, volume etc.
I have been going through a lot of posts without any luck as most of them has dead links in them. So please do not refere to old posts. Thanks!

Hi,

  • File2File scenario

    Hi,
    I am trying File 2 File scenario, I have file adapter(both receiver and sender ) installed on my machine.
    And I have also 2 communication channels set, I used File adapters in communication channels. When I run this scenario, in Monitor I see my message to be processed sucessfully but I don't see any log in receiver adapter and also no output file.
    I have selected File system and not FTP in receiver channel, does this selection creates output file on server disk?
    If anyone have File2File scenario documentation, please forward it to me.

  • I want to "Restore Factory Content" on my T61. Is the procedure documented?

    I have seen that I can press Thinkvantage button while in bootup, then follow instructions.  Is the scenario documented anywhere so I can see in advance what I will be doing?

    it is pretty straight forward, it is all pretty much automated.... just select restore your system, then restore my hard drive to the original factory state. Everything else is self explanatory.

  • Reg:implementation Enterprise portal in solution manager

    hi all
    i am new to the concept of solution manager .In this how can we implement Enterprise portal .Actually what an EP consultant work need to be done in this  solution manager.can any  one provide some real time scenarios info related to it .
    regards
    Deepika

    Hi,
    Regarding the implementation phase, Solution Manager helps you via several functionalities:
    - Solution Documentation: Central documentation of processes, system landscape, custom code,...
    - Test Management:Change impact analysis, End-to-end test management
    - Change Control Management: Integrated quality management, Synchronized transports of various components, Controlled and documented adjustment of business processes incl. approval process
    - Application Incident Management: Integrated service desk, Involvement of partners in problem resolution, Provide root-cause analysis for complex landscapes with diverse technology stacks
    The most important part in from my perspective for a implementation consultant is the Project Documentation functionality, where you can get Implementation Content for Enterprise Portal. This includes business scenarios documentation and business process included in the Business Process Repository, how to configure different scenarios and business processes, test cases, etc.
    I think you can find some information in the marketplace about this functionality. For example you may find something under service.sap.com/alm -> SAP Solution Manager and Tools.

  • Error with dual boot Win 8/OL6 R3

    Hello,
    I am hoping to discuss this with someone who has experience with this configuration. My goal is to get Oracle Linux dual booting on my windows 8 machine.
    I have installed OL but I am having trouble getting it to dual boot win8/OL using the windows boot menu. Whereas windows 8 boots as expected, the Oracle Linux option gives me the error:
    "+Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause...contact you system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance+
    +File:+ \NST\nst_linux.mbr
    +Status: 0xc000007b+
    +Info: The selected application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.+"
    Here are some details of the scenario:
    - Documentation followed: Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Installation_Guide-en-US.pdf
    - Hardware: Dell Precision M4700 64 bit UEFI
    - OEM installed/Default OS: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
    - Installation source: OracleLinux-R6-U3-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso (written to DVD)
    These are the broad steps I followed:
    In windows 8
    I:
    - downloaded the Linux ISO software. The checksum on the download matched
    - wrote the ISO to a bootable installation disk
    - created a new 344gb partition for Linux using the DOS DISKPART command - partition 7
    Linux Install
    - I booted using the Linux installation DVD and started the installation
    - When Installing Linux partition 7 became a 500mb system partition and partition 8 became the 343 gb Linux partition
    - I manually created the boot partition as ext3 (because the pdf I was following said "+If your 64-bit x86 system uses UEFI instead of BIOS, you will need to manually create a /boot partition. This partition must have an ext3 file system. If you choose to partition automatically, your system will not boot.+"
    - I installed the boot loader on sda7. I selected “First sector of boot partition - /dev/sda7”. I assume this installs separate GRUB boot loader on the Linux partition (7) – which will then be 'chain loaded' from the windows boot menu. Put another way, it will boot with the windows boot manager, which will give me an option to chain load the Grub boot loader, which will then run Linux...
    - I chose the desktop installation
    - The installation reported that it completed successfully
    I successfully booted back into windows:
    - I used easybcd to edit the microsoft bcd and successfully created a boot menu for Oracle Linux. I used the legacy grub because the Linux documentation says "+Note that the version of GRUB in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is an old and stable version now known as "GRUB Legacy" since upstream development moved to GRUB 2.3 Red Hat remains committed to maintaining the version of GRUB that we ship with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, just as we do with all packages that we ship.+".
    - After installing Linux and updating the BCD, the BCD now looks like this:
    Windows Boot Manager
    identifier {bootmgr}
    path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
    description Windows Boot Manager
    locale en-US

    device partition=C:
    path \NST\nst_linux.mbr
    description OracleLinux
    I'm not sure the BCD entry is correct. I assume that this entry should be pointing to the nst_linux.mbr on the Linux boot partition. However I have verified that this file exists in windows 8:
    C:\NST\nst_linux.mbr
    I haven't been able to exactly confirm how the boot process should work i.e. whether this file should actually be in the Linux boot partition (as opposed to the windows c drive) and whether the BCD should also point to the Linux boot partition when referring to this partition.
    As I mentioned above, I now have the windows boot menu with Windows 8 (which boots successfully) and Oracle Linux (which gives me the error see below for complete wording**). Is the Real-mode Boot sector wrong? Should it point to the Linux boot partition? Is it a problem with my UEFI disk? I don't think it should be because this version of Oracle Linux supports UEFI and my hardware is UEFI.
    Has anyone carried out a similar win8/OL dual boot?
    2001
    ** Complete wording of the Linux boot option in the windows boot manager:
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disk and restart the computer.
    2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next".
    3. Click "Repair your computer".
    If you do not have this disk, contact you system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

    Hi,
    Here are my responses:
    *[asmirnov]* Could you please confirm, I just want to see if I got it right the first time -
    *[2001]* I'm happy to share my progress
    Q1)
    *[asmirnov]* You did create a partition (where you would install Linux) from Win8, correct?
    *[2001]* Yes. I used diskmgmt.msc to create a separate partition. I didn't format the partition because the Linux install doesn't want that, it creates and formats the partitions in the unallocated partition
    Q2)
    *[asmirnov]* You use GRUB (not GRUB2)?
    *[2001]* I'm not sure where you were asking about, so I hope my answer here covers all possibilities you may have meant.
    I was using the windows 8 boot. I wanted to chain load to the boot loader in the Linux Partition. It is interesting what the Linux install did with my partition, it created 2 partitions in the unformatted partition. 1 was a bootable partition and the other was the Linux partition. The details were:
    2 sda’s (a boot / ext4 and a VolGroup (vg_linuxlocalhost)/ physical volume (LVM) ). In the VolGroup it created 3 lv’s, lv_root, lv_home and lv_swap. I understand that this is all normal.
    I followed the documentation note which said "To configure the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot loader to chain load from a different boot loader, you must specify the boot drive manually. If you chose any of the automatic partitioning options, you must now select the Review and modify partitioning layout option before you click Next or you cannot specify the correct boot drive"
    So there was also the note in the documentation that said "Note that the version of GRUB in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is an old and stable version now known as "GRUB Legacy" since upstream development moved to GRUB 2.3 Red Hat remains committed to maintaining the version of GRUB that we ship with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, just as we do with all packages that we ship." I didn't install any bootloaders manually (either the windows 8 OOTB default that came with my machine or the Linux one), I just took the defaults. I'm wasn't sure how to access the Linux partitions once it is installed, so I can't confirm it was the legacy GRUB in the Linux boot partition, but I believe this note is saying that it OL6 does use the legacy grub. I believe GRUB Legacy is version .97.
    Q3)
    *[asmirnov]* Which version of Linux exactly did you use, was that Oracle Linux or you used one from RedHat directly? What is the kernal version?
    *[2001]* I used "OracleLinux-R6-U3-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso.sha1sum" from the mirror site http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/oraclelinux/OL6/U3/x86_64/. According to the release notes at: https://oss.oracle.com/ol6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U3-en.html the kernel is
    - Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 [kernel-uek-2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek]. Installed and booted by default
    - Red Hat compatible Kernel [kernel-2.6.32-279.el6]. Installed by default
    Note: By default, both the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel for the specific architecture (i386 or x86_64) are installed, and the system boots the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel by default. If needed, /etc/grub.conf and /etc/sysconfig/kernel can be modified to make the system boot with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel by default.
    Regarding your follow-up point that "Microsoft blocks 3rd party chainloaders from the BCD menu for UEFI machines. We are researching workarounds, none have presented themselves as of yet.", I'm not sure it actually blocks it, but it certainly isn't a straight forward process.
    I have actually abandoned my attempt to get the dual boot working. It is a real shame because I wanted to do it for my own satisfaction.
    I am now using Oracle Virtual Box as suggested by others, include Dude earlier in this thread. This has given me confidence that I was doing all the right things because the install worked first time without any problems. The virtualization is much simpler and I have had no problems so far.
    Fusion
    As for your point about the fusion middleware and OL5. I am looking at Oracle SOA with is part of the Fusion brand. I think that the latest SOA components will work on OL6 - but I have yet to try it. Following the certification matrix can be a little difficult. So as I indicated above, my current thoughts are to use the Oracle Virtual Box with Linux r6 u3 and to install the SOA components on that when I get chance. The alternative is using the pre-built virtual machine it has Linux and SOA (it might cover your stack too, or there may be another one that suits you better on the site) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/vmsoa-172279.html. Note that this is still on OL5.
    I hope this helps.

  • Version Control for adobe forms

    Dear All,
    We have a situation where we already go live with version 0 of our adobe form. Now, we have an enhancement to the form i.e.: some new functionalities and new field. Previously we have tried to transport the new changes to the production without any version control and those processes that have been already started prior to the new changes encounter error when the user continues the process.
    I am wondering how do the version control works and any documentation on how to configure it?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Brian,
    Here is some information that I found in the IMG on Create ISR Scenario...
    Create ISR Scenario
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you create an ISR scenario that has a one-to-one relationship with a form scenario. To be able to use a form scenario in a process, one ISR scenario must exist for each form scenario. The ISR scenario and the form scenario must be linked with each other. You make this setting in Customizing for HR Administrative Services in the IMG activity Link ISR Scenario with Form Scenario.
    In the form scenario, you define primarily the basic set of form fields and their processing through the backend services. In the ISR scenario, you specify the definition of the user interface. You also specify which form is used for the display and how the layout of this interactive form is designed. You use interactive forms based on Adobe software to create and process the forms.
    ISR scenarios and form scenarios are version dependent. The version numbers of the ISR scenario are assigned automatically. Note that a form scenario must have exactly the same version as the linked ISR scenario. For this reason, you should always create a new version in the ISR scenario first and then use the same version number when you create a version in the form scenario manually.
    Note
    If an ISR scenario or form scenario (with an existing version) has already been used in a productive process, you should not change the configuration. If you want to make changes to a process or an ISR scenario or form scenario, you should always create a new version, and only ever use that new version in the future. In this way, processes that have been started can be concluded with the old version and new processes can be started simultaneously with the new version.
    This is from the Create Form Scenario documentation...
    Create version
    Form scenarios are version dependent, which means that there is at least one version of each form scenario. Versions are linked with processes. Since processes can vary, you must also be able to adjust the associated scenarios. To be able to provide different forms for process variants, you create versions.
    You can still process and change an existing version at a later point in time. Once a version has been used to execute a process, you should not make any more changes to this version; instead, you should create a new version.
    The form scenario and the (linked) ISR scenario are both version dependent. They must always have exactly the same version numbers. Note that the version number of the ISR scenario is generated and cannot be entered manually. When you create a new version in the form scenario, you therefore have to use the version number generated in the ISR scenario.
    If you have already made extensive Customizing settings for the form scenario and want to create a new version based on the settings, you should use the IMG activity Manage Form Scenario.
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers,
    Kevin

  • Upgrade APO 3.0 to SCM 5.0 SR2 (requirements in source system)

    Hello!:
    We want to do and upgrade upgrade APO 3.0 to SCM 5.0 SR2
    And we have seen the Guides SCM5.0 SR2 and SCM5.0 SR3, but appears info in the page 26 only about check the software requirements from APO 3.0 to SR3, but we want to check the information about APO3.0 to SR2.
    Regards,
    Alfredo.

    Alfredo,
    This is not a easy question, since you are several releases behind on APO. I have done upgrade from APO 3.0 to SCM 4.1 and then subsequently to 5.0 so there were lots of learnings specific to the Projects and develoments.  The Setup being different in different industries and companies, there is no one answer to this question.  Try  the following ...
    -  Read the Release Notes of SCM 3.1, 4.0, 4.1,  5.0.  You will see a Host of New Functionalities - Newer in SNP, PPDS, TPVS,  Master Data (PDS along with PPMs).
    I do not know what functionality you are live with in APO 3.0.
    On the Existing Setup that you may find changed, I remember the following big changes ...
    - GUI Changes are galore in master data, less
    - SNP Side -  Changes in TLB Engine & TLB Prioritization.
                     - Deployment Split Functionality
                     -  Changes in User Exits (old code would not work).  You will find this painfull if you've implemented User Exits. eg : If you were determining OrderTypes in orders sent from APO to R3.  TLB User Exits. Lesser changes in Masterdata userexits.
                      -  Newer fields in Master Data (eg : SNP Checking Horizon in Product Master and it's implications on Deployment & TLB. ).
                     - Subcontracting Planning in APO.
    - Enhancements in VMI.
    - Use of Parallel Processing for all Modules planning.
    - Enhancements in Aggregated Planning
    - Enhancements in Product Interchangeability.
    - Several Newer Functionalities like ICH to make/replace the earlier Collaborative Planning better.
    - Master Data several changes (eg : PDS)
    - Several improvements in CoreInterface Function and Que Issues. In 4.0 onwards there is new functionality around CIF Postprocessing
    - Use of Process Chains to streamline Batch Jobs and especially BI Loads into Cubes and Planning Areas.
    - Several enhancements in PPDS (newer heuristics), Alerts
    - BW underwent a Major change from BW 2.0 to BW 3.0 to now BI 7.0 which impacts Setup for Demand Planning.  eg : The InfoCube got renamed to InfoProviders.
    I suggest you start with the Release Notes.  Form a List of your Test Scenarios, then Upgrade in your Development and start to Test. Don't plan less, but more time for testing since you are undergoing a several releases change.  First start to get your Existing Business Scenarios documented as Test Scripts in Order.
    I STRONGLY recommend doing a Technical Upgrade Only (i.e : do not upgrade Major Functionality unless there is no other way).  In Summary for SURE SCM 5.0 is a Much better and Stable System than APO 3.0.
    Hope this helps.  Reward Points If you find it usefull.

  • Call (consume) a webservice from ABAP for dummies

    Hi
    I find the documentation for this topic very confusing. It a badly structured mix of documentation of client scenarios, server scenarios and worst of all a lot of XI nonsense.
    I need purely client scenario documentation without any info about XI and without any info about creating web services.
    I just need to know how to consume a web based webservice in ABAP program. Where can I find this docu?
    I have tried to generate proxies from different WSDL sources, but it always fails with different error messages.
    Can anyone suggest a simple WSDL webservice usefull for testing my setup?
    Best regards

    You are right, the help files do mix consuming and creating, but they do provide a list of steps for consuming and what you need to do.  To consume a web service, the general steps you need to follow are:
    - Create an extendable package with use accesses SAI_SXMS, SAI_TOOLS, SAPPINT
    - Create a proxy class using the wizard in SE80 (right click on the package -> Create -> Enterprise Service) - the creation of the class depends on the WSDL document - you can either generate based on the url  for the WSDL or download the WSDL document and import it as a file in the wizard.  You may need to tinker with the WSDL document to get the class generation to complete successfully. Your WSDL is here: [http://maptp12.map24.com/map24/webservices1.5?soap=Map24Routing]
    - Create a logical port in LPCONFIG or SOAMANAGER (assumes NW 7.0 SP14 or later) with information in the WSDL
    - Create a program to consume the service method - it will look something like this (abbreviated):
    DATA: gv_client_proxy  TYPE REF TO zcwsbb_co_global_weather_soap,
          gv_sys_exception TYPE REF TO cx_ai_system_fault.
    DATA: gs_request   TYPE zcwsbb_get_weather_soap_in,
          gs_response  TYPE zcwsbb_get_weather_soap_out,
          gs_weather   TYPE zst_currentweather.
    DATA: gv_message   TYPE string.
    TRY.
        CREATE OBJECT gv_client_proxy.
        CALL METHOD gv_client_proxy->get_weather
          EXPORTING
            input  = gs_request
          IMPORTING
            output = gs_response.
      CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO gv_sys_exception.
        CALL METHOD gv_sys_exception->if_message~get_text
          RECEIVING
            result = gv_message.
        WRITE: gv_message.
        FREE: gv_client_proxy, gv_sys_exception.

    hi sam ra,
    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
    For information on related areas, see the following documentation:

    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

    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).
    Business Applications
    MM
    The following documents relating to purchasing in MM can be stored:
      Outgoing purchasing documents
      Requests for quotation
      Purchase orders
      Scheduling agreements
      Forecast delivery schedules
      Contracts

    Aim of this Documentation
    This documentation describes the SAP ArchiveLink scenarios that are delivered as part of the
    standard system by SAP. There is a section for each storage scenario. The documentation
    describes the standard software.
    Each storage scenario description is assigned to one of the “big” application components in the
    SAP System. Storage scenarios in the following application components are currently described:
      BC (Basis)
      CA (Cross-Application Components)
      FI (Financial Accounting)
      SD (Sales and Distribution)
      MM (Materials Management)
      IS-RE (Real Estate Management)
      QM (Quality Management)
      PP (Production Planning and Control)
      PM (Plant Maintenance and Service Management)
      PA (Human Resource Management)
      PY-DE (Payroll Germany)
    The individual storage scenarios are structured as function descriptions and generally contain the
    following sections:
    Section Description
    Use Business background
    (this section is sometimes separate from the pure function description).
    You learn which application scenarios SAP ArchiveLink supports, which
    employees are involved and the advantages and simplifications offered by SAP
    ArchiveLink.
    This information is enough to give you a first overview of the storage scenarios.

    Prerequisites   Technical implementation
    You become familiar with the document types and the corresponding technical
    document classes that form the basis of the scenario. You discover which object
    types and link tables are used.
    This information is particularly useful if you are planning to enhance or change
    the scenario.
      Preparation and Customizing
    The settings that are necessary to adapt the scenario to the specific
    requirements of your corporate structure are described.
    The settings described are scenario-specific and usually complement the SAP
    application component Customizing.
    Activities This section describes the technical and business connection of the scenario to
    the R/3 application and how the corresponding application functions are called.
    This documentation is not intended to replace the SAP ArchiveLink
    documentation and should only be seen as a central reference point for
    documentation relating to the implementation of SAP ArchiveLink in the individual
    SAP applications.

    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:
      Archiving an Original Application File (CA-DMS)  (Seite 26)

      Changing an Original Application File for an Existing Version (CA-DMS)  (Seite 28)
      Displaying an Archived Original Application File (CA-DMS)  (Seite 29)
    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:

    The system saves the original application file to the optical disk defined in Customizing.
    You see a dialog box with the following message:
    Document archived successfully
    3. You can check which archive the document was saved to.
    To do this, display the data carrier and path for the original application data by choosing
    Storage data.
    The data carrier and the path where the original application file was stored before being
    checked in the archive is no longer displayed. The system has overwritten this data with
    the archive data.
    If the document type is defined such that all field changes are logged, you can still
    display the previous storage place (Goto   Display changes).

    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):

    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
    checked into the SAP database, a vault, or an archive with this status to be stored automatically.
    To change the archived original application file (existing version):
    1. Choose Extras   Originals   File 1(2)   Change.
    The system automatically creates a copy of the archived original application file.
    2. You see a dialog box, where you can enter the target for the copy. As a default value, you
    see the path where the file was stored before being archived.
    – To accept the default value, choose Continue.
    – If you want the file to be copied elsewhere, enter the required data (data carrier,
    path, and file name) in the dialog box. This path identifies the place where the
    original application file for the same version is stored. The system overwrites the
    previous archive data.
    If the system accepts your entries, you see a dialog box with the following message:

    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.

    Business Background (SD)
    The Sales and Distribution application component contains an SAP ArchiveLink function that
    provides sales personnel with a quick and efficient means of optically archiving and processing a
    wide range of incoming documents including inquiries, purchase orders, contracts, and
    complaints. SAP ArchiveLink offers easy online access to these archived documents during the
    planning, processing, and analyzing of business transactions in Sales and Distribution.
    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.

    Business Background (SD)

    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).

    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
