Chapter 1
Introducing Content Services for SAP
Overview
The Content Services for SAP application integrates the Documentum content
management system with the SAP R/3 system. It is an interface to the SAP R/3 system
based on SAP’s standard DMS and ArchiveLink interfaces.
Content Services for SAP provides the following functionalities:
• Enables users to easily access and display documents stored in a Documentum
repository from a variety of SAP modules.
• Links documents stored in Documentum to a variety of SAP documents.
• Archives SAP data, reports, and documents through ArchiveLinkTM certified
interfaces in Documentum.
• Stores and manages reports and outgoing documents in Documentum
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Understanding the Content Services for SAP architecture, page 14
• Supported SAP document formats, page 16
• Understanding SAP and Content Services for SAP terms, page 16

Understanding the Content Services for SAP

architecture
Figure 1-1. Content Services for SAP and SAP
Content Services for SAP consists of the following components:

• RFC Archiving Server
A server component that enables you to archive reports, data, incoming and
outgoing documents from SAP to the Documentum repository. The archived
reports and documents can later be retrieved and viewed through SAPGUI and
Documentum clients. This component uses SAP Remote Function Calls (RFCs) to
communicate with SAP.
• Agent services

A server component that allows you to automate the linking process between SAP
objects and documents, as well as maintain those links. This substantially improves
productivity, information integrity, and information availability.
• Capture
Enables you to scan documents, store the images in a Documentum repository, and
create a link to the appropriate transaction documents in SAP. Once this link is
created, the document is accessible from SAPGUI, the SAP client interface. The
Capture component is part of Documentum’s integration to ArchiveLink.
• Manage
Enables you to release Documentum documents to SAP, and to maintain those
released documents.
• View
Enables you to view released Documentum documents from inside SAP.
The View component supports the following operating systems:
— Windows 2000
— Windows XP
— Windows 2003
The View component must be installed on every R/3 client computer that needs
to access reports, drawings and other documents stored in a Documentum
repository.
• Rendition Services
Build-in filters that provide the following renditions::
— PDF rendition
— ASCII text rendition
— HTML rendition
When one of these built-in filters are used, the desired document rendition is
generated when the document is archived in the repository.
• WebAdmin
An administrative console that allows you to:
— Create, configure, and manage archives
— Manage certificates for the archive
— Create repository connections for Content Services
— Configure document archival for Content Services

Note: Please refer to the Content Services for SAP Release Notes for detailed information
about specific OS versions and supported software environments.
Supported SAP document formats

Documentum supports the following SAP document classes/formats:
• Incoming or Scanned Documents (FAX class, Tiff format)
• Outgoing Documents (OTF class, PDF format)
• Archived Data (REO class, REO format)
• Reports or Print Lists (ALF class, ALF format)

Chapter 2
Conguring the ArchiveLink Interface
for Content Services for SAP
Overview
The Archiving Server component is the part of the Content Services for SAP application
that handles archive requests for a repository. This means that you can store and retrieve
documents, reports, and data through SAP ArchiveLink and DMS interfaces.
Once a document is released to Documentum, it is accessible from SAPGUI (the SAP
client interface). It is also accessible from a Documentum Client such as Webtop.
Prior to running the Content Services, the SAP R/3 system must also be configured. This
chapter describes how to configure your R/3 ArchiveLink and other related transactions
through SAPGUI and the R/3 system.
Note: The configuration steps often reference direct transaction codes. These codes
allow you to navigate directly to the correct configuration screen. Most of the system
configuration is performed in the SAP Implementation Guide for R/3 customizing (IMG).
You can navigate to this screen using the following transaction code: spro.
When configuring Archive Services, you can configure either an HTTP-based Archive
Server or an RFC (Remote Function Call) Archive Server.
Note: Documentum recommends that all new installations are based on the HTTP-based
Archive Server. The primary reason is that SAP will focus future development at the
HTTP-based archive protocol.
The configuration steps are different for RFC and HTTP based archiving. Configuration
steps have been marked as being relevant only to RFC- or HTTP-based archiving.
The various configuration tasks that you have to perform are described in the following
sections:
• oac0 — Defining a logical ArchiveID, page 20
• oag1 – Configuring basic settings, page 20
• oanr – Configuring number ranges, page 21
• oaqi - Creating queues, page 21
• oaat - Scheduling jobs, page 22
• spad – Configuring optical archives as output devices, page 22

Conguring the ArchiveLink Interface for Content Services for SAP
• sm50 – Verifying spool processes, page 24

• sole - Maintaining OLE applications, page 25
• oaa4 - Maintaining applications and configuring communications protocol, page 26
oac0 — Dening a logical ArchiveID

Note: The name of the logical ArchiveID must be the same as the ArchiveID created
using WebAdmin (refer to the Configuring, Viewing, and Editing Archives section of the
Content Services for SAP Administration Guide).
To dene a logical ArchiveID in SAP:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: oac0.

2. In the Display Content Repositories: Overview page, click on any content
repository (specifically whose Storage type is HTTP content server.
3. In the Display Content Repositories: Detail page, click the Display/Change icon
The Copy as ... button is now enabled.
4. Click the Copy as ... button.
5. Edit the Content Rep. field so that it’s the same as ArchiveID created using
WebAdmin (refer to the Configuring, Viewing, and Editing Archives section of the
Content Services for SAP Administration Guide).
6. In the Transfer drctry field, enter the directory path where SAP can write the Print
List till it is in the Storage Queue.
7. In the HTTP Server field, type your system name.
Note: You are recommended to type the IP address of your system in this field.
8. In the HTTP Script field, type the following:
/archivelink/archivelink/<name-of-repository>
9. To save the logical ArchiveID configuration, choose Content Repository→Save.
oag1 – Conguring basic settings

You must define the basic settings for ArchiveLink.
To congure the basic settings:
1. Execute the following transaction in in the transaction code field: oag1.

2. Ensure that the Deactivate Print List Management in DMS box is checked.

3. Save your changes.
oanr – Conguring number ranges

You must configure the number ranges for ArchiveLink.
To congure the number ranges:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: oanr.

2. To edit the configuration, click on the Intervals button (marked with a pencil).
The Display Number Range Intervals window opens.
3. Configure the Number Range 01 with default values.
oaqi - Creating queues

When Print Lists are archived, the SAP print spooler puts the document into the
asynchronous queue. The scheduler then picks up the document and sends it to the
archive. The queue serves as a buffer for everything sent to an SAP archive. Other
queues are used for outgoing documents and barcodes. These queues can be seen on
the ArchiveLink Monitor screen (transaction code: oam1). If this screen shows the word
MISSING instead of zeros, you must create queues and specify an administrator. Define
an SAP user with the proper ArchiveLink administrator profile as the administrator for
this queues. Defining an administrator will automatically create the queues. Check that
the queues have been created by reviewing transaction oam1.
To create queues:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: oaqi

The SAP ArchiveLink: Create All Queues (CFBC, CARA, CGDA) screen appears.
2. Fill in all the options with ‘x’.
3. Enter a valid SAP login name in the Queue Administrator field.
4. Choose Program>Execute.
5. Click Cancel to exit this window.

oaat - Scheduling jobs

The SAP schedule job periodically checks the output queue and sends all the items in
the queues to the archive. You must configure the schedule job to successfully archive
documents to an SAP archive.
To schedule a job:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: oaat

2. Create a new job.
3. Type ILQBATCH in the ABAP Program field.
4. To verify that there are no errors, click Check.
6. Click Back to return to the Define Background Job window.
7. Click the Start Date button.
8. Set Start Time to Immediate.
9. Select the Periodic Job checkbox.
10. Click Period Values and specify an interval such as 20 minutes.
This value should be determined by the following factors:
• Frequency of archival
• Time taken to archive your largest document; for example, your largest Print List
11. Save your changes
12. Click Exit.
spad – Conguring optical archives as output

devices
An output device is the driver software for the logical output device which archives
documents using the ArchiveLink interface. To correctly archive a document to SAP,
you must define the output device as an optical archive. Configuring an output device
includes defining the type, the device, the spool server, and so on. There should be only
ONE ARCH device; therefore, prior to defining a device with the ARCH short name, you
should delete any existing ARCH devices such as ARCHIXOS.
To congure an optical archive as the output device:
1. Start SAPGUI and connect to your R/3 server.

2. Execute the following transaction in the in the transaction code field: spad.
3. Click the Output Devices button.
4. Click the pencil button to edit settings.

oaa4 - Maintaining applications and conguring

communications protocol
Complete the following procedure to map the OLE 2 methods just defined under
SOLE that are called when a document is archived from Content Services Capture or
when a document is displayed. The OLE 2 methods are assigned when the archive is

configured via PROTOCOL. Each pair of document type and SAP object type maps to
an archive (these are described and ). For example, when a document is archived, the
document type and object type point to an archive. The archive in turn is configured
to use a certain protocol. From the protocol the SAPGUI determines how documents
are to be scanned and viewed via OLE.
To congure applications’ maintenance and the communications protocol to associate the

correct OLE 2 method to an SAP archive for 4.x:

22. Type DCTM in the Application field, and click Continue.
You are returned to the Overview of a Protocol window.

Note: This Protocol defines what method SAP will use to display an object. The
DCTM application requires Content Services View to be installed on all PC’s that
want to display Print lists (for other options look under SPECIAL PROTOCOLS). In
this case the Web Admin Client has to be configured to make sure the Best Format
sap_print_list is at the top of pdf and html. This is not required if PDF or HTML
renditions are not created. See Content Services for SAP Administration Guide.
24. Double-click Archive from frontend.
25. Select the document class “*” and double-click.
The Overview of Protocol dialog box opens.
26. Type OPEN in the Communication Type field.
If you repeat step 18 and 23, you should see that the * document class and the ALF
document class are indicated as Maintained Explicitly. All other document classes
should be indicated as Not Maintained Explicitly.
Special protocols
You have options for special use protocols which are configured slightly different from
the standards described above. Anonymous login allows your name and password to be
provided each time a login would normally be required. Another option is that you may
wish to have Print lists displayed in the native proprietary format from SAPGUI instead
of viewing them via Documentum renditions as described above.
Protocol for anonymous logins
To create a protocol for anonymous logins:


S USER=<username>
S PASSWORD=<password>


M Display @DID
G @EID=ERRORCODE
G @ETX=ERRORTEXT
2. Ensure that the Release generated object after call checkbox is selected. Then
continue with the remaining steps.
To create a protocol for anonymous capture logins:

• Application: DOCLINKSCAN.DOCUMENT

S DOCBASE=<repository>
S USER=<username>

S DOMAIN=<domain>
S CLIENT=<client>
S SYSTEM=<system>
M Scan
G @EID=ERRORCODE
G @ETX=ERRORTEXT
G @DID=DOCID
2. Click Continue.
3. Ensure that the Release generated object after call checkbox is selected. Then
continue with the remaining steps.
Protocol for the SAP Inline Print List Viewer
SAP R/3 includes a Print List viewing feature that allows you to view saved Print lists
with SAPGUI in their native ALF format. To enable SAPGUI viewing you must configure
the protocol to support the viewer.
Note: If you convert Print List to PDF with renditioning, they can be viewed and
annotated without SAPGUI.

To congure the Print List viewer to display the Print Lists in SAPGUI for 4.x:
1. Choose Create.
The New Protocol dialog box opens. For example, you may wish to define the
protocol name as ECONALF for Content Services for SAP with ALF Viewer.
2. Enter the appropriate version of the protocol depending on whether you will be
needing RFC based archiving, version 0031 or HTTP based archiving, version 0045.
You may need a protocol for each type if you plan to use RFC and HTTP archiving
for example, ECONRFCA and ECONHTTPA.
The Overview of a Protocol window opens, displaying your newly-defined protocol.

Chapter 3
Customizing SAP Document Classes
The following sections describe how to archive document classes from SAP. The customization of
each SAP setup is different depending on which document class the archived document belongs to.
The document classes are:
• ALF
• FAX
• OTF
• REO
For all classes you must configure a minimum of:
• OAC0
• OAC2
• OAC3
plus any specific customizations. These customizations are described in the following sections:
• oac0 – Configuring content repositories, page 33
• sm59 – RFC destination archives, page 36
• oac2 - Defining document types, page 38
• oac3 - Defining links, page 39
• ALF Reports/Print Lists, page 40
• Deleting archived and linked documents, page 42
• Customizing FAX - scanned documents, page 42
• Testing scanning documents, page 44
oac0 – Conguring content repositories

SAP allows you to define a content repository (previously known as a logical archive).
This content repository is mapped to a Documentum archive via WebAdmin. The

Documentum archive links to a set of rules such as content folders, Documentum

document types, and so on in the Documentum repository. It is recommended that
you store each document type in a separate archive. Using WebAdmin, you must
create a matching archive for each ArchiveID defined in SAP. This ArchiveID defines
what actions (types, folders, retention, and so on) are applied on a SAP document when
it is archived. The following sections explain how to create an archive in SAP for each
represented document class.
When configuring Archives, you can configure either an HTTP-based Archives or RFC
(Remote Function Call) Archives. The configuration steps are different for RFC vs. HTTP
based archives. The configuration steps below have been listed as being relevant only to
RFC- or HTTP-based archiving.
Note: Documentum recommends that all new installations are based on the HTTP-based
Archive Server. The primary reason is that SAP will focus future development at the
HTTP-based archive protocol. However legacy RFC archives are still supported.
To dene a SAP content repository (archive) for 4.x:
1. Execute one of the folliwng transactions:

• oac0
• spro
2. Select SAP Reference IMG from the menu bar.
The IMG window opens.
3. Navigate to Basis Components>Basic Services>SAP>ArchiveLink>Basic
Settings>Maintain content repositories.
4. Click the pencil button to edit the table.
5. Click New Entries.
6. Select Full administration.
The Change Content Repositories window opens.
7. Fill in the following information in the Change Content Repositories window:
Field name Value

Content rep Specify a two-letter archive name. For example, AA
Description A meaningful name. For example, SAP Print lists (AA)
Storage Type Select HTTP or RFC
Protocol The previously configured protocol.

Field name Value

Version No. 0045 for HTTP or 0031 for RFC
Output Device ARCHIVE
8. The next few fields are configured based on whether HTTP or RFC was selected.
• For HTTP:
— HTTP srvr:p: <ip>:<port> For example, 192.169.1.165:8080 uses port 8080 IP
is the IP address or name of the Web Server which is running the Content
Services HTTP Content Server and the port number being used (default is
80). If you use a server name here, ensure that you can ping the server by
name from the SAP server. If you use a port other than 80, use <ip>:<port>.
— Program Content Services/archive/<repository>.asp Enter Content
Services/archive/<repository>.asp where <repository> is the name of the
repository that you will be archiving content into. You must have an HTTP
service installed with Content Services for this repository. If you have not
already done so, after specifying the program, you will need to create the
HTTP service for a repository with a user name and password via the
Content Services installation program.
• For RFC:
— RFC destination: Enter the RFC destination from /nSM59, Content Services
Services, and WebAdmin. Refer to sm59 – RFC destination archives, page 36
for a description of how to create the Content Services RFC destination.
• For HTTP and RFC:
— Basic path: Type the network path to the location where SAP will put
archived documents to be picked up by Content Services Archive.
This directory should be referenced in the WebAdmin RFC destination
configuration screen. NT Example: m:\sapshare\ UNIX Example:
/sapmnt/DV2/global/archive/ This path must match the shared drive in the
WebAdmin RFC Destination configuration screen. There must be a slash at
the end of the path specification. For example, /sapshare/ or on Windows NT
systems using a mapped network drive, for example, M:\. The path must
always be terminated with / for Unix or \ for NT.
— Arch path: Usually the same as the Basic path. Repeat this procedure
to define the additional example archives BB and CC. You may use this
procedure to define any Documentum archives in SAP.

sm59 – RFC destination archives

This section applies to RFC archiving only.
The SAP server considers Content Services for SAP an external RFC service or RFC
destination. The destination is identified with a symbolic name that was configured in
Documentum during the Content Services Archive Service installation. The name of the
RFC destination must be unique for each repository/SAP client connection and identical
in the Content Services Archive Services and WebAdmin configurations.
To congure the RFC destination:
1. Start SAPGUI and connect to your R/3 server.

2. Execute the folliwng transaction: sm59.
3. Select the folder icon labeled TCP/IP connections.
4. Click Create.
5. Type in a name for the RFC destination.
Use the naming conventions that uniquely identify Documentum Content Services
Archive connections, such as <DCTMHOSTNAME>_<SAPSYSID_CLIENT>.
You must use the same destination name configured in the WebAdmin.
Note: It is important that an exact match is made for the RFC connection to
communicate. The ID is case sensitive and should not contain any spaces.
6. Type T in the Connection Type field.
This specifies a TCP/IP connection.
7. Leave the Login parameters field blank.
8. Enter a description in the Description field.
9. Press [Enter].
10. Click Registration.
START is not correct here and will invalidate the program ID entry.
11. Copy the RFC destination name into the Program ID field.
Documentum recommends that you copy and paste the name between WebAdmin
and transaction code sm59 because the value of this field must correspond to
the configuration parameter RFC Program ID in the WebAdmin ArchiveLink
configuration tab RFC Destination parameter RFC Program ID.
If you have not yet installed Content Services, you will need to make a note of
this value so that you can configure your RFC destination in Content Services
WebAdmin, and when the RFC services are installed on the Content Services host
server. This value must be unique for each repository/SAP client connection which

is why the RFC destination name <DCTMHOSTNAME>_<SAPSYSID_CLIENT>

is recommended.
If two Content Services archive processes register under the same ID or name the
second one connected receives all requests from SAP. The first process will not
receive an error message so it will wait indefinitely for RFC requests that never come.
13. Click Back to exit.
You return to the RFC Destination window.
14. Verify that the parameters have not changed.
This is a check to make sure the save operation succeeded.
15. Run the test described in sm59 - Testing connections, page 37.
sm59 - Testing connections

You must have created SM59 RFC destination, WebAdmin RFC config, and Content
Services RFC services via the Content Services installation program and started with
the SHARE user ID (refer to Installing Content Services for SAP) before you begin this
procedure.
To test the ArchiveLink RFC connection to Content Services archive:
1. Switch on debugging before processes or services are started the first time by setting
the debug level:
• Windows NT In the registry: Set HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Documentum\Doclink\
Archive\Docbase\<Name_Of_Repository> to 3.
• UNIX In the dmal.ini file: Set the debug level to 3.
2. Start your Content Services services or processes.
3. Start SAPGUI and connect to your R/3 system.
4. Execute the following transaction: sm59.
A new window opens, listing the folder hierarchy.
5. Click on the plus symbol in front of the folder labeled TCP/IP Connections.
A list of all RFC Destinations opens.
6. Double-click on the RFC destination that links SAP to the repository via Content
Services.
7. Click on Test Connection.

A message appears on the status bar, stating that the connection is OK. A new
window opens, displaying some performance figures (similar to ping).
8. Verify the connection by checking the Content Services log files.
The following entries should appear in the log file on the Content Services server
which may be located in C:\temp\dmalaxxxxxx.log:
:
>>> SAP open
>>> Running RfcEnvironment
>>> Running RfcInstallFunction
>>> SAP event handler ok, entering event loop...
>>> Calling RfcDispatch...
>>> RfcDispatch returned 0
:
Note: If you receive errors, check back through the configuration on SAP,
WebAdmin, and the services or processes to verify there are no typos. You can turn
on the RFC trace via the checkbox on SM59, and look for information in your logs.
You may need to check the SAP gateway in your .../etc/services file.
oac2 - Dening document types

You must select which document types you will be archiving, and correlate those to SAP
document classes, such as FAX, ALF, OTF, and REO, The list of document types provided
by SAP, when using transaction OAC2, are the templates to be used for categorizing your
SAP documents for archiving. You can customize the standard document types by
using the SAP XYZ naming conventions.
• FAX documents are documents that will be scanned and linked to SAP.
• ALF are reports produced and linked from SAP.
• OTF are outgoing SAPSCRIPT documents produced and linked from SAP.
• REO documents are data archive files which are compressed by the SAP ADK and
stored externally in that format.
To dene document types for SAP:

2. If you are defining a new document type, select New Entries.
You may also copy existing document types.
3. If you are modifying an existing document type, use Change and Details.

4. Enter information in the Description and Doc. class fields as appropriate for your
configuration.
5. When you have finished selecting document types, save your changes.
oac3 - Dening links

Using the link table, you can categorize SAP documents to define what combination of
SAP object type (for example, SOOD) and SAP document type (for example, GENPRILIS)
are stored and linked to which archive.
The SAP document type is linked to the SAP document class, previously known as SAP
document type (for example, ALF, OTF, REO) which determines how the document is
produced and linked. For example, the ALF class refers to reports, FAX to scanned
documents, and OTF to outgoing SAPSCRIPT documents.
To dene links:

The Display View “Links for Content Repositories": Overview screen appears.
2. Select Table View > Display -> Change.
3. Fill in the following information in the New Entries table:
Table 3-2. Field descriptions of New Entries table
Field name Value

Object Type Use legitimate object type such as SOOD
for Print Lists, and BKPF for accounting
documents
Document Type The SAP doc type as defined in OAC2
above such as GENPRILIS
S (Status) Enter an “x” in this column
Arch. ID Enter the archive ID of a newly created

archives for example, AA
Link Enter the name of the link tables where
links will be maintained. TOA01-TOA03
Ret Prd. 0

ALF Reports/Print Lists

To customize ALF - Reports/Print lists you must perform the following procedures:
Then perform the test.
Testing archiving reports

Once you have completed the configuration procedures in this section, you should test
the new Print List archive by:
• archiving a Print List
• displaying the archived Print List
The following section explains how to perform these tasks.
To archive a Print List:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: : f.21.

2. Click the Execute button.
3. In the List of Customer Open Items page that appears, select List>Print.
The Print Screen List dialog box appears.
4. Click the Properties button.
The Spool Request Attributes dialog box appears.
5. In the Parameters name column, click Output Options.
6. From the Storage Mode drop-down menu, select Archive only.
Note: Whenever you edit a parameter in this dialog box, we recommend that you
check the Show Selected Print Parameters on Initial Screen checkbox. This ensures
that the customized settings are available in the initial Print Screen List dialog box.
7. Verify that the Object Type and Document Type fields contain the correct values, as
configured in the New Entries table (refer to oac3 - Defining links, page 39). Pick
the following values for example: SOOD GENPRILIS.
If your Document Type is incorrectly configured, refer to the following procedures
for configuring document types in SAP archives:oac2 - Defining document types,
page 38 and oac3 - Defining links, page 39.
8. Type additional information in the Information field.

This label may be anything you wish; for example, your initials.
9. Optionally, type a description of the Print List in the Text field.
10. In the Parameter name column, select General attributes > Time of printing.
11. From the Time of print drop-down list, select Print out immediately.
12. Click Continue in the Spool Request Attributes dialog box.
13. Click Continue in the Print Screen List dialog box.
14. To verify that the Print List is in the archiving queue, execute the following
transaction in the transaction code field: oam1.
The ArchiveLink Monitor screen appears.
The Print List is now queued, waiting for the scheduler to pick it up and transfer it
to the archive.
oaat - Scheduling jobs, page 22, contains information about configuring the
ArchiveLink scheduler.
15. To accelerate the transfer of the Print List from the queue to the archive in the
repository, click Storage Queue.
The Queue: Content server (CARA) screen appears. You should now see an entry
for the newly-archived Print List in this screen.
16. To view the archiving parameter details, double-click the Print List entry.
The Archiving request window opens.
Verify that the details are correct
17. To archive the Print List in an archive located in a repository, click Execute.
You should see a confirmation message that the queue has been processed.
If no errors occur, you can continue testing by displaying the archived Print List.
To display the newly-archived Print List in SAPGUI:
1. Execute the following transaction in the transaction code field: oadr.

2. To find a particular Print List, type appropriate search parameters in the appropriate
fields.
The ArchiveLink: Hit List for Stored Print Lists page appears.
3. Double-click an item in the list to select it.
4. Choose Print List>Display From Content Server.
SAP executes the GET command to retrieve the document from the Documentum
archive. The retrieved document is displayed in SAPGUI and has the DocumentID
of the Print List in Documentum.

Deleting archived and linked documents

In a repository, if you delete version 1.0 of a document that is linked to SAP or archived
from SAP, the link to SAP is also deleted. This is because the dm_relation object which
creates the link to SAP is deleted when the parent object (which is always version 1.0)
is deleted.
We recommend that you do not delete the original version of objects that are linked to
SAP if you want to maintain their link to SAP. If you need to delete version 1.0 of a
document, but want to keep the link to SAP, then, after deleting the document, you must
relink the object to SAP, outside of Content Services.
Customizing FAX - scanned documents

To customize FAX - Scanned Documents, you must perform the following procedures:
Then you can make specific customizations using the following procedures:
• oaws – Settings, page 42
• Optional for SAP workflow, page 43
• Optional for bar code, page 44
oaws – Settings
OAWS contains the settings for routing and linking newly scanned FAX documents in
SAP. For each document type, you can specify which type of archiving is available:
• Store for subsequent entry (Early)
• Store and Enter (Simultaneous)
• Assign and Store (Late)
For storing for subsequent entry which uses SAP workflow to move the image to the SAP
inbox, you can specify what organizational object will be used for routing (like User) and
then what specific organizational object to route to (like the SAP User ID).
To display/change SAP settings for document types for 4.X:
1. Type /NOAWS (previously /NSOA6) in the command field.

In earlier versions of SAP a Get Settings dialog opens if settings have been entered.
If no Get Settings dialog opens, select Edit>Insert doc. type and build your own
list of settings.
When the new settings are saved, a name has to be specified under which the settings
are stored. You may also have to create duplicate settings for early, simultaneous
and late archiving instead of using the checkboxes described below.
2. Select a setting from the list of available settings, or create a new setting.
3. Choose the setting for the application where you wish to link scanned documents
and select Entries.
The Maintenance screen opens.
4. Select New Entries to choose an item from the Document Type list which matches
your entries for OAC2 and OAC3.
5. For testing purposes, type US (USER) and your SAP ID in the Agent ID field.
This enables you to send scanned documents to your SAP workflow inbox (You may
want to integrate these entries with the SAP organizational roles, see your workflow
consultant for details).
6. Make sure that each checkbox is checked to use:
• Storing For Subsequent Entry
• Early Archiving (SAP workflow)
• Store and Enter Simultaneous Archiving (no workflow)
• Assign then Store Late Archiving (no workflow)
7. Make sure to note the values of document type and object type fields.
You will need these values to complete later configuration steps. For example,
Incoming Invoice Preliminary Posting has an object type BKPF and object type
FIIINPREL.
Optional for SAP workow

To configure all SAP object type/document type combinations you want to use with
Storing for Subsequent Entry, please coordinate configuration with your SAP workflow
consultant.
• SWU3 - Workflow Initialization
• SOA0 - Workflow Document Types
• OACA - Workflow Parameters

Optional for bar code

Bar codes are a good way to automatically scan and link documents that have already
been entered into SAP transactions from paper. For example, you can enter an invoice
with a bar code sticker, type or wand the bar code number and later, when all the
invoices are scanned they can be automatically linked with their entry transactions.
The information in this section assumes that you have already set up a bar code
configuration object in WebAdmin. If you have not yet done this, refer to Content Services
for SAP Administration Guide. This section explains how to configure SAP R/3 object types
and document types to accept bar code on transactions in SAP to be later linked with
scanned documents stored in a repository.
• OAC5 - Bar Code Settings
To congure all SAP object type/document type/User ID combinations you want to use
with bar codes for 4.x.
1. Type /NOAC5 in the command window.

2. Click Edit.
The Details of Added Entries window opens.
4. Enter any SAP object types for which you want a bar code dialog to open upon
saving of that object.
5. Enter any SAP document types for which you want a bar code dialog to open upon
saving of that document.
6. Enter any User IDs for which you want a bar code dialog to open upon saving under
that user ID.
8. Enter your object, document, and user ID to test your bar code.
Testing scanning documents

Once you have completed the customizing described above, you can test document
scanning, linking and viewing the archived images. Refer to Content Services for SAP User

6. Click OK to the message “No Scanner Available”.
7. Choose File>Import in Content Services Image Viewer.
8. Select an example TIFF image file from any directory on your file system.
9. While the image displays in Content Services Image Viewer, fill in the attributes.
10. Click the Add to Queue button from Content Services Capture and the image should
disappear from the Viewer.
11. Minimize Content Services Capture.
12. In SAP, use transactions OAC2, SOA0, OACA, OAC3, OAC0 and OAWS to review
the settings for the doc type you are planning to use. For example, FIIINPREL.
13. In WebAdmin, make sure you have set up an Archive for incoming fax which
matches the Archive ID information found via OAC3 and OAC0.
You can copy and modify an existing incoming document archive.
14. On your Content Services Server, make sure that the Archive Services are started
with the correct:
• RFC Destination

Chapter 4
Creating Custom BAPIs
Content Services for SAP enables you to create and install custom configuration objects — known as
BAPIs — for linking and querying SAP data.
To create a custom BAPI you must modify the custom.xml file that is included with the Content
Services for SAP installation files. The installation files are available for downloading from
subscribenet.com (see the Installation Guide for more details on downloading the release). After
modifying the custom.xml file as shown in the example below, when you install Content Services for
SAP, the custom BAPI will be available for linking and querying via the Web Admin tool.
In the following example, we are creating a custom BAPI to link and query purchase orders. The
query type for this custom BAPI is EKPO Table.
To create a custom BAPI:
Note: This procedure must be done prior to installing the current release of Content
Services for SAP. The custom BAPI is installed with the release and is available to
end-users only after product installation.
1. Download and install the current release of Content Services for SAP Server. Details
for downloading the release are provided in the Installation Guide.
2. Locate the file named custom.xml in the Server folder of the installation files.
3. Open the custom.xml file in a text editor or XML edtior.
4. Add the following sample XML code to the custom.xml file. Modify this code as
appropriate to create your own custom BAPIs. You may copy/paste this sample code
inside the Request ON_ERROR tag of the custom.xml file:
<OBJECT_CREATE ON_EXIST="version">
<API_CONFIG TYPE="sap_query_plm_type_table" CLASS="sap">
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="object_name" IS_KEY="true">EKPO_Table</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="table_name">EKPO</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="function_module">RFC_READ_TABLE</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="sap_object_type">EKPO</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="query_parameters" IS_REPEATING="true">
<VALUE>Client=MANDT</VALUE>
<VALUE>Document_Number=EBELN</VALUE>
<VALUE>Item_Number=EBELP</VALUE>

</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="parameter_defaults" IS_REPEATING="true"></ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="result_parameters" IS_REPEATING="true">
<VALUE>Client=MANDT</VALUE>
<VALUE>Item_Number=EBELP</VALUE>
</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="key_attributes" IS_REPEATING="true">
</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="methods" IS_REPEATING="true">
<VALUE>Link</VALUE>
</ATTRIBUTE>
<ATTRIBUTE NAME="descriptive_field">EBELP</ATTRIBUTE>
</API_CONFIG>
</OBJECT_CREATE>
Save the custom.xml file and close it.

5. Repeat these steps to create as many custom BAPIs as you need, creating separate
XML elements in the custom.xml file for each custom BAPI.
6. To install the custom BAPIs into your repository, run the Content Services for SAP
Server setup.exe file, choose Docbase Configuration, then for the version number
choose Custom.XML.
If you are creating custom BAPI of type "sap_query_type_plm" make sure the key

Chapter 5
Conguring the DMS Interface for the
Manage and View Components
The procedures in this chapter assume that the software is installed on at least one PC and that the
Documentum repository is configured according to your business needs. It is assumed that a default
installation of SAP has been performed. If this is not the case, you may find that the installation
steps differ in your R/3 system.
You must customize SAP before you can link documents to it. The customization work is necessary to
configure the CAD Interface to your needs. Additionally, you must verify a number of parameters
and certify that everything is configured properly. This chapter discusses the following topics:
• Configuring the Manage component, page 53
• Configuring Document Management Control Data, page 55
• Configuring general data, page 60
• Configuring CAD integration, page 67
• Configuring general data sub-levels, page 69
The examples in this chapter also assume a SAP default installation.
Conguring the Manage component

The complete customization is done in the same SAP menu from SAPGUI.

Conguring general data sub-levels

This section describes how to verify the basic configuration values for the sub-levels
associated with the CAD Integration General Data level.
Verifying the values in the general data sub-levels ensures that the CAD Interface is
properly configured. This interface is defined with a number of tables that are configured
for client 000 for 3.x and 100 for 4.x when the SAP server is installed. Because these tables
are not always duplicated to other clients it’s important to verify them.
Note: The lists displayed in this manual do not show the complete tables but they show
items that must be there. If the number of items in your tables is much lower than the
numbers given in this manual, then your tables may not be complete. In this case, copy a
new set of tables from client 000. Do not try to enter these values manually.
Dening functions
Use the Position button to verify that the following items in the table are defined. This
table must contain about 180 entries:.
Table 5-6. Function values

Chapter 6
Conguring SAP for PP-PI
Documentum Content Services for SAP allows you to link documents stored in a Documentum
repository to an SAP PP-PI (Production Planning for Process Industries) instruction sheet. Documents
are thus directly accessible from SAP PP-PI sheets.
SAP PP-PI modules control the manufacturing process in process industry environments. PP-PI
allows you to define hyperlinks to external applications, enabling you to retrieve documents (such as
recipes or SOPs) from a Documentum repository by using a configurable query together with specific
parameters. This mechanism is very flexible and is independent of the Documentum or ArchiveLink
system. Documents are linked to SAP PP-PI with a query stored in Documentum.
This information in this chapter assumes that the Content Services View is installed on at least one PC
and that the Documentum repository is configured according to your business needs.
You must customize the SAP server before you can use hyperlinks from a PP-PI sheet. This section
explains how to create and configure the mandatory new process instruction categories. These
concepts are described in the following sections:
• Configuring the Process Instruction category, page 71
• Defining Process Instruction category DCTM, page 72
• Configuring the Characteristics/Process Instruction category, page 72
Conguring the Process Instruction category

To get into the SAP customization menu follow these steps:

2. To invoke the SAP configuration tool, type /nspro into the command field.
A dialog box appears.
3. Click Enter to exit the dialog box.
4. Click the Enterprise IMG button (or click your specific project if you configure your
system on a project base).

This brings you to Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing window.

5. Navigate to the process instruction categories subfolder.
To get there, click Production Planning for Process Industries folder>Process
management>Process instructions>Process instruction categories for the R/3 PI sheet.
6. Click on Define Process Instruction Categories.
Dening Process Instruction category DCTM

To congure a new Process Instruction category:

2. Define the category DCTM:

• Description is ‘Documentum Content Services’.
3. Save the new item.
4. Click Back to return to the previous window.
Conguring the Characteristics/Process

Instruction category
To congure the Characteristics/Process Instruction category:
You must have a screen resolution of at least 600x800 to be able to enter characteristics
of the new process instruction category.
1. Click on Characteristics/Process instruction category.
2. Enter the value for PPPI_FUNCTION_NAME.
The default value for this field is WS_EXECUTE
3. Enter the value for PPPI_BUTTON_TEXT.
