Installation tool
Open Text Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions uses the SAP Add-On Installation Tool
(SAINT) for installation. SAINT uses single PAT files (extension *.PAT) which integrate several transport
files; these collections are also called packages.
On the product CD, the single PAT files are archived in SAPCAR files (extension *.SAR) that can be
extracted using the SAPCAR command line tool. The different SAPCAR files are located in a DATA folder
below the respective package folder named as the package and SAP release (e.g.
INST_BAS_620/DATA/OTEXBAS_INST_0961_620.SAR contains the archived PAT file to install the
package for SAP basis release 6.20).

Password Control
Every single installation package for Open Text Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions is
protected with a specific password. During the installation, SAINT requests this password.
For more details, see the following table:

Checking ZAUTHCUST structure

An existing ZAUTHCUST structure is an important prerequisite for a proper installation.
Important: Carry out the following check to avoid subsequent errors during installation.
To check the ZAUTHCUST structure:
1.

Log on to your SAP system (possibly test system) as a user with administrator rights.

2.

Execute the SE11 transaction.

3.

Click Data type and enter the data type ZAUTHCUST.

4.

Click Display.

5.

If you now see the structure definition, you can continue with the installation.

However, if a warning or error message appears in the status line and no table appears, you must first set up
the structure as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.

Re-enter the data type ZAUTHCUST in the same transaction and click the Create button.
Choose Structure in the dialog box and click the Next button.
Enter the following short text: Authorization fields for Customers
Select the Components folder.
Enter DUMMYF as the component and DUMMY as the component type.
Save this as a local object or add it to an existing development class.
Activate the structure.

Installing package
The basic components are installed with the Basis package.
To install Basis package:
1. Copy the respective SAPCAR file (*.SAR) from the product CD to the target SAP application server
in the /usr/sap/trans folder (i.e. the parent folder of the DIR_EPS_ROOT folder).
File

Source path

OTEXBAS_*_*_*.SAR

Target path

INST_BAS_<Release>\DATA\

/usr/sap/trans\

2. Extract the SAPCAR file to the /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in folder with the following command:
SAPCAR xvf <name of SAPCAR file>
The resulting PAT file will be extracted to the EPS/in folder relative to the path of the SAPCAR file.

3. Carry out import of package as described in the respective SAP documentation.

For every client, the Business Customizing Sets (BC Sets) must be activated after installation.

1. Execute the SCPR20 transaction.
The Business Customizing Set screen appears
2. Activate the BC Sets in the following sequence:
/OTEXBAS/BASIS_ARCHIVING_1
/OTEXBAS/DOCULINK_ALL962

Note: For more details, see the SAP documentation.

3. If you experience errors during BC Set activation, repeat the respective activation
procedure up to 3 times.

For every client, the default project $GARMISCH is required by DocuLink.

To create the DocuLink project $GARMISCH initially:

Execute the J6NA transaction.

Execute the item Initial creation of project $GARMISCH.

The start screen of the /IXOS/DC_A_CREATE_GARMISCH report is displayed.

To actually create the DocuLink project $GARMISCH on your client, select the
checkbox Create $GARMISCH. Execute the report by pressing the F8 function key.
The program confirms the execution with a message Project $GARMISCH created
