What is OpenText Archiving and Document Access
for SAP Solutions?
With Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions, you can automatically
store SAP and non-SAP data and documents on a secure archive server (OpenText™
Archive Center). This increases operational efficiency by freeing IT from the time-
consuming chore of manual backups and recovery. It also offloads data from
production systems, for improved system performance and faster upgrades.
Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions offers a range of options for
integrating SAP documents and other documents in the different SAP applications,
including emails, faxes, images and informal correspondence, etc. Besides archiving
documents, it allows you to manage, search, display and edit them.

This upgrade path can be followed directly on ERP 6.0, CRM 7.0, SRM 7.0 systems or
their respective EHP-releases. If your SAP System is an older release, e.g. R/3 4.7,
SAP ECC 5.0, SAP CRM 5.0, or SAP CRM 2006, the last supported ADA version is
10.0.0 including SP1 + SP2. To upgrade to version 16.2, you must upgrade your SAP
release first and then upgrade to 16.2. See “Upgrading the SAP system”
on page 59.
On ERP-Systems - if you also want to update the optional OTEXERP package, note
that the OTEXERP package 9.6.1 only supports ERP 6.0. Using an Attribute Change
Package, it supports also EHP2, EHP3 or EHP4 for ERP 6.0. If you have already
installed a higher EHP x for SAP ERP 6.0, install OTEXERP 9.6.2 with its installation
package.
1. Download all installation and upgrade resources from the SAP Service
Marketplace and/or OpenText My Support. Customers who bought from SAP
are entitled to get access to OpenText My Support and its Patch areas.
3. Check the latest Release Notes of Archiving and Document Access and the
Patches area in OpenText My Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/
knowledge/llisapi.dll/Open/14162727) for language packages. All languages
supported for version 16 will also be supported for 16.2. If the required
language is not yet available in 16.2, consider to install the language packages of
16 before updating to 16.2.
4. When upgrading from 9.6.0, for example as customer who bought the license
from OpenText, install all client independent transports delivered for Livelink
ECM Suite for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 from the installation CD. Do not apply any
patches.
5. When upgrading from 9.6.0 with patches of 9.6.0, there can already exist some
erroneous entries of Add-On packages OTEXBAS and OTEXERP. This is a known

18. Execute transaction SAINT on client 000 to install installation package of OTEXBAS
16.2. Then install installation package of OTEXERP 16.2.
19. Execute transaction SM30 and check table SGOSATTR. Look for entries from
DocuLink and/or DesktopLink using names IXOS_DC or IXOS_DL. Check if the
entries are consistent with the settings of the other services. Replace the entries
with the ones you noted down before in step 7. This is necessary because in
versions 9.6.1 to 9.8, entries were erroneously included. This can cause errors
when calling GOS. See also section 15 “Archiving using generic object services
(GOS) (for SAP ERP only) ” in OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions - Scenario Guide (ER-CCS).
20. Execute transaction SCPR20 to perform the following BC Set activation for
OTEXBAS 16.2 on your test client:
• /OTEXBAS/BASIS_ARCHIVING_1
• /OTEXBAS/DOCULINK_ALL1600
• /OTEXBAS/VIEWER_CUSTOMIZING
Note: You cannot apply Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) on systems
with a productive client. Apply the BC Sets on a development or test client
to create customizing transports for the production system. You can
execute transaction SCPR20 using the menu option Utilities > Compare >
Compare BC Sets with Tables. This allows you to check the content of the
BC set compared to the current content of the systems customizing tables.
21. If you have used DocuLink before, execute transaction J6NA to delete generated
reports.
22. You may need language packages of version 16.2 for other languages than
English. Please note, that language packages of version 16 can be used
preliminary. Check the latest Release Notes and the Patches area of OpenText
My Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/Open/
14162727) for the respective packages. See chapters about language import and
installation in this guide for further details and import the language packages
for OTEXBAS and OTEXERP in transaction SMLT accordingly.
On CRM-Systems - instead of the optional OTEXERP package for each version you
can install the respective OTEXCRM package right after the related OTEXBAS package.

9.2. Upgrading the SAP system
When you upgrade an SAP release (R/3, ERP, CRM) to a higher release, the system
automatically recognizes that an SAP add-on is installed and requests the respective
upgrade package. This way the standard SAP upgrade procedure also updates the
Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions add-ons to the relevant version.
Caution
If you import an upgrade into an SAP system with Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions and the data of the respective upgrade
packages is not read (upgrade phase IS_SELECT), the Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions add-on (i.e. OTEXBAS, OTEXERP,
OTEXCRM) will no longer work after the upgrade procedure. Since the status
of the system is then inconsistent, OpenText can no longer accept any
liability.
Note that there are no exchange upgrade packages for OpenText Archiving
and Document Access 16.2. Keep the existing packages (Select KEEP in
upgrade phase IS_SELECT). To allow a keep you may need a vendor key or
an Attribute Change Package. For target SAP Releases with SAP Netweaver
7.02 and higher, SAP enforces to use Attribute Change Packages (ACP’s)
instead of vendor keys to match the versions of the target release. See the
Release Notes of OpenText Archiving and Document Access 16.2 to get
information about ACP’s and vendor keys.
Note: Contact your OpenText consultant for planning your individual upgrade
strategy.

Note: See the latest Release Notes of Archiving and Document Access for SAP

installation and updates.
1. Follow the standard SAP system upgrade instructions. During upgrade phase
IS_SELECT, select KEEP for the installed add-ons Upgrade with SAINT Package
(applies to OTEXBAS, OTEXERP, packages).
Note: Apply the vendor keys from the Release Notes for the KEEP
operations, if necessary.
Note: Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16.2 is not delivered
anymore for older releases like SAP R/3 4.7, SAP ECC 5.0 , SAP CRM 5.0 or
SAP CRM 2007. If you have an older version of Archiving and Document
Access for SAP Solutions installed on SAP R/3 4.7 or SAP ECC 5.0, you can
upgrade first to version 10.0, do the system upgrade and use the exchange
upgrade packages of 10.0 as described in the OpenText Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions 10.0.0 installation guide (https://
knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/piroot/er/v100000/er-igd/docovw.xml).
Another valid path option would be to do Exchange upgrades with Archiving
and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.2 or 9.8 at place and then on the
target SAP release to continue an update path as described in “Upgrading from
Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 - 10.0.0” on page 53.
From SAP CRM 5.0 or SAP CRM 2007, you can upgrade OTEXBAS and OTEXCRM
to version 10.0 and then do an exchange upgrade to the SAP target release, for
example SAP CRM 7.0. On the target release, continue a delta upgrade by

Troubleshooting
When general problems occur during installation, check the following points, or
carry out the tasks described:
1. Check if the SAP basis version on your system is supported by the component
you would like to install (see the latest Release Notes in My Support).
2. For Oracle database only: Check whether the OracleTCPListener has been started
on the SAP database server.
3. Check the transport directory in the /usr/sap/trans/bin/TPPARAM file; it
should be specified as the global parameter transdir. Copy the data and the co-
file into this directory. Repeat the addtobuffer and import commands.
4. Modify the TPPARAM file so that the comments are on a separate line like in the
following example:
# SID
<SID>/dbname = <SID>
# TCP/IP name of transport host
<SID>/dbhost = <TRNASHOST>
# <DBTYPE>: ora sqd mss
<SID>/dbtype = <DBTYPE>
# normally PATH linked to \\<TRANSHOST>\sapmnt\<SID>\SYS\exe\run
<SID>/r3transpath = R3trans.exe
# normally PATH linked to \\<TRANSHOST>\sapmnt\<SID>\SYS\exe\run
<SID>/sapevtpath = sapevt.exe
5. Check if the correct authorizations and number ranges were defined.
6. If issues occur when calculating Archive URL’s, check SAP support note 1833702
(http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1833702). The note fixes issues of
function SCMS_LOCATION_GET, which is used in function SCMS_URL_GENERATE.
