2.5 Installation tool


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 ISO image or ZIP archive, 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. For example,
INST_BAS_700/DATA/OTEXBAS_INST_1620_700.SAR contains the archived PAT file
to install the package for SAP basis release 7.00 or higher.

Notes

• The handling of the installation procedure within SAINT differs depending


on the SAP system used. For more details, see the respective SAP
documentation.
• The SAP OSS Note 1353451 Use enhanced SAINT functions in CRM ADDON
MANAGER (http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1353451) describes
how to use enhanced SAINT functions on CRM systems, for example
selecting target Support Packages.

2.6 Installation packages and passwords


Every single installation package for Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions is protected with a specific password. During the installation, this
password is requested by SAINT.

Chapter 3 Installing Basis package

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.

Note: With Basis 7.00 or higher, you can use the SAINT and SPAM
transactions to upload and extract the SAR files from the frontend.
3. Carry out import of packages as described in the respective SAP
documentation. For this, you will need the password for the installation
package. For more information, see“Installation packages and passwords”
on page 10.
4. After import has been finished, continue with the activation of the BC sets.

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

To activate BC sets:

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_ALL1600
• /OTEXBAS/VIEWER_CUSTOMIZING

Note: For more details, see the SAP documentation.

3. If you experience errors during BC Set activation, repeat the respective


activation procedure up to three times.

Tip: Transaction SCPR20 offers a menu option Utilities > Compare >
Compare BC Set with Tables. This allows you to compare the differences
between the contents of the Business Configuration Set and the
customizing tables of the SAP system. Furthermore, another option of this
feature allows you to display all contents of the BC set.

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

To create the DocuLink project $GARMISCH initially:

1. Execute the SPRO transaction. In IMG, go to OpenText Archiving and


Document Access for SAP Solutions > DocuLink Administration >
Customizing Maintenance and Upgrade > Create DocuLink Project
$GARMISCH.

OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions – Installation and Upgrade
14 Guide
ER160200-00-IGD-EN-1
3.1. Installing package

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


3. 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.

4. Exit the report and the J6NA transaction and execute the J6NP transaction.
In the list of the existing DocuLink projects, the project $GARMISCH is listed.

Note: This DocuLink project $GARMISCH may not be modified manually. It


must either be created with the initial report or imported by a transport.

To export the DocuLink project $GARMISCH from your customizing client:

1. Execute the J6NP transaction.


The DocuLink: Customizing: Project Overview dialog is displayed.

2. Click on the $GARMISCH item to position the cursor on this DocuLink project.

3. Click the icon or press SHIFT-F6.


The Transport version(s) dialog is displayed.

4. Keep the settings as they are and click the Continue button or press ENTER.
You are prompted to select a transport request.

5. Create a customizing request and click the Continue button or press ENTER.

6. After the transport request was created, you may leave the J6NP transaction and
follow the standard procedure as described by SAP to release a customizing
transport request.

Regarding the export of DocuLink projects as customizing transport requests, refer


also to the chapters section 7.3.1 “Standard functions in the tab view” in OpenText
DocuLink for SAP Solutions - Customizing and Administration Guide (DC-CGD) and
section 8.2 “The versions” in OpenText DocuLink for SAP Solutions - Customizing and
Administration Guide (DC-CGD).

Important
The customizing tables which contain the content of the DocuLink project
customizing are flagged with Log data changes, i.e. you may use the SCU3
(table history) transaction to track any changes in the DocuLink project
customizing.

Chapter 3 Installing Basis package

3.2 Configuring components


3.2.1 Configuring rendition management
After successful installation of the Basis package, you may configure the Rendition
Server API.

To configure Rendition Server API:

1. Execute the SM30 transaction to maintain the tables /IXOS/RSA_T_CONF and /


IXOS/RSA_T_RENS (see OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions - Scenario Guide (ER-CCS)).

Note: The following steps are only required when rendition management
shall be used within DocuLink.

2. Execute the SM30 transaction to maintain the table /IXOS/RSA_T_TAFO


containing the target formats used in the Rendition Task Profiles (table IXOS/
RSA_T_CONF).
The following value pairs are valid:

Document class MIME type of a Web object


PDF application/pdf
TIF image/tiff
TXT text/plain
ORIGINAL original

This standard setting of table /IXOS/RSA_T_TAFO is also delivered by


activating the BC set /OTEXBAS/DOCULINK_ALL1600. The MIME type =
original has to be in lower case letters. In the DocuLink Rendition Server task
profile, this special type can be used to download the files without converting
them.

3. Execute the DocuLink administration transaction J6NA to maintain the tables /


IXOS/RSA_T_CONF and /IXOS/RSA_T_RENS.

3.2.2 Configuration for Java Viewer/Web Viewer/Brava! View


Note: The customizing procedure with the /ixos/oa_cust table has been
superseded by the parameters defined in the new /ixos/oa_cust_a table.

By default, documents that are opened from within the SAP GUI are displayed in
the SAP viewer, or, if it is installed, in Windows Viewer. Compared to the SAP
viewer, Windows Viewer offers additional functionality to edit documents,
however, it requires an additional client installation. If you would like to take
advantage of additional viewer functionality without an additional installation
process, you can use the Java Viewer, Web Viewer or Brava! View for SAP Solutions.

OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions – Installation and Upgrade
16 Guide
ER160200-00-IGD-EN-1
3.2. Configuring components

To do so, you may configure the viewer integration on the SAP server in a way that
the required viewer will be used.

Note: An instance of Brava! View for SAP Solutions is customized nearly like
a Web Viewer but behaves differently. About the restrictions of Brava! View
for SAP Solutions, see also the release notes of OpenText Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions.

To maintain the imaging integration:

• Activate the user exit to use a different viewer other than the standard SAP
viewer:

a. Run the SE16 transaction and open the TOAEX table.


b. Create a new entry with these values:
EXIT_ID = OA_OBJECTDISPLAY_01
ACTIVE = X
EXIT_FUB = /IXOS/OA_X_OA_OBJECTDISPLAY_01
c. To use a different viewer also for SAPGUI for JAVA create the following
entries with these values:
EXIT_ID = OA_DISPLAYJAVA_01
ACTIVE = X
EXIT_FUB = /IXOS/OA_X_OA_OBJECTDISPLAY_01

After installation, the viewer components must be configured and customized using
the following tables:
• /ixos/oa_cust_a
Legacy table - it is still evaluated, but do not use it anymore. A description can be
found in guides of version 10.5 SP1 or older.
• /ixos/oa_doctype
Document classes and their viewer types (if not defined, the default viewer for
ArchiveLink documents will be used)
• /ixos/oa_locales
Languages used (optional, for Web Viewer only)
• /ixos/oa_iprange
IP settings used to optimize network performance (optional, for Web Viewer
only)
• /ixos/oa_cust3
Force MimeType settings to display documents

To configure the external viewer:

1. In the IMG, navigate to OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions > Imaging (Viewer) Integration > Standard Customizing and run
the Maintain Viewer Usage and Settings activity. Alternatively, you can run
the SM30 transaction and open the /ixos/oa_cust_a table.

Chapter 3 Installing Basis package

2. Define the following settings:

Path and Script/appl


Path name and script/application name to call either Web Viewer or Java
Viewer:

• Web Viewer — the source code of the Web Viewer must be located
directly below the application directory of the web server. Therefore, the
application name is WebViewer.
• Java Viewer — the Java Viewer is called by a perl script that is located in
a subdirectory of the Content Server cgi-bin directory. Therefore, by
default the application name is /cgi-bin/JAVAVW/ixosjv.pl. If you
host the Java Viewer as Web Application, enter /JAVAVW/JavaViewer.
• Brava! View — after installation of Brava! View on a Windows host, the
application layer responding to the imaging integration resides in
location BravaView. Therefore, the application name is BravaView. In all
other settings of /IXOS/OA_CUST_A (or /IXOS/OA_CUST_B), IXOS/

archive must be set correctly in OAC3 transaction for the link J_6NGDKOR (object
type)/J_6NGDKORR (document type).

Note: Each customer has its own logical archive. Since we are not familiar
with these archives, we supply our own archive name DU set as the default.
• In order to archive documents for customers in the sample project Linked
objects, the archive must be set correctly in OAC3 transaction for the link
J_6NG_CUST/J_6NG_CUST.

Note: Each customer has its own logical archive. Since we are not familiar
with these archives, we supply our own archive name DU set as the default.
• Some number range intervals are required for the sample projects; use the SNRO
transaction to maintain them:
• For $EX_LINK (Linked objects) and $EX_FOLDER (Folder demo
(recurrent structure)) maintain interval 01 for the number range
J_6NG_DIV. Enter 1000 as the starting number.
• For $EX_CMDEMO (Demo CM document model) maintain the same number
range J_6NG_DIV, but with a different interval and distinct values, e.g.
interval 02 from 1000000001 - 2000000000 if the interval 01 from 1000 -
1000000000 was used for $EX_LINK.

Chapter 8 Installing language packages

2. Upload your language file to your SAP system. Each ABAP Add-On has a
specific language package.

Example: DE_OTEXBAS_1050_700_20140514.SAR contains the German package for


the OTEXBAS 10.5 Add-On on SAP_BASIS 7.00.

Note: Note the following options:


• If you use a system with SAP_BASIS 7.00, you can import and extract
the file directly in transaction SMLT.
• If you use any other system, extract the SAPCAR file with the .SAR
extension to the SMLT path folder of your SAP system. Usually the path
is set to the EPS\in system folder. Use the SAPCAR tool to extract the
file.

3. Use transaction SMLT to import your language package.

Important
Before starting to import language packages, OpenText recommends
reading the SAP help (http://help.sap.com/) about importing a language.
In the SAP help, navigate to the application help for the appropriate SAP
release and read the following chapters:
• Preparing to Import a Language
• Importing a Language
• Language Import with Transaction SMLT
• Post-Import Actions

4. After installing the language package, perform the necessary post-installation


steps, for example, such as those described in sections Language Supplementation/
Client Maintenance in the SAP help (http://help.sap.com/). Note that the
language package of OTEXBAS contains client dependent data which requires
specific action Client maintenance in transaction SMLT.

Note: After importing language packages to the SAP system, it can


become necessary to reset certain buffers. For example, you can use the
following transactions:
• /$SYNC - reset all buffers
• /$OTR - reset OTR text buffers (HTTP texts)
• /$CUA - reset SAP GUI object buffers
• /$DYNP - reset SAP GUI dynpro buffers

Localization of Fiori apps


Starting with version 16.2, the Fiori apps contained in the Fiori UI Add-on package
OTEXBASF deliver i18n properties files, which are mapped to text tables on the

OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions – Installation and Upgrade
42 Guide
ER160200-00-IGD-EN-1
SAP system. Therefore specific language packages for Add-On package OTEXBASF
will be made available in OpenText My Support. The installation procedure is the
same as already described above.

Upgrading to version 16.2

Depending on your current system configuration, you may perform one of the
following:

• “Upgrading to Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16.2”


on page 45
• “Upgrading the SAP system” on page 59

In both cases, OpenText provides special upgrade packages.

9.1 Upgrading to Archiving and Document Access


for SAP Solutions 16.2
Upgrading to Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16.2 is only tested
as upgrade from version 16; for details see “Delta upgrade from version 16 to 16.2”
on page 45.

Note the following:

• upgrade from version 10.5.0 - In the case of an upgrade from version 10.5.0,
install version 16 as an intermediate step; for details see “Intermediate step: delta
upgrade from version 10.5.0 to 16” on page 47.
• upgrade from version 10.0.0 - In the case of an upgrade from version 10.0.0,
install version 10.5.0 as an intermediate step; for details see “Intermediate step:
delta upgrade from version 10.0.0 to 10.5.0” on page 49. Then install version 16
as an intermediate step.
• direct upgrade from versions prior to 10.0.0 - The direct upgrade from versions
prior to 10.0.0 requires special care; for details see “Upgrading from versions
prior to SAP 6.0” on page 50.

9.1.1 Delta upgrade from version 16 to 16.2


The upgrade from OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16
to version 16.2 is called a delta upgrade, because the version of OpenText's Add-On
package changes while the SAP release remains unchanged. With version 16.2 no
specific delta upgrade packages are delivered. Instead, the upgrade is done by
installing the respective installation package in transaction SAINT.

The following delta upgrades are supported:

9.1.5 Upgrading from SAP 6.0 and Livelink ECM-Suite for SAP
Solution 9.5.1 or 9.5.2
Livelink ECM-Suite for SAP Solution 9.5 also delivered a branch for 6.0 including
transports for R/3 4.6C. After that, two special add-on package versions 9.5.1 and
9.5.2 were available for use in R/3 4.6C for both reselling and direct OpenText
customers. In these cases you need to upgrade your R/3 4.6C to a SAP ERP 6.0
system. To do this, the following upgrade path is recommended:

1. After performing transports of version 6.0 on R/3 4.6C, use transaction SAINT to
install Add-ons of OTEXBAS and OTEXERP of version 9.5.1 on client 000.

2. Use transaction SAINT to install Add-Ons of OTEXBAS and OTEXERP of version


9.5.2 on client 000.

3. Upgrade your SAP system to SAP ERP 6.0. During this system upgrade, select
the Exchange upgrade packages of OTEXBAS 0962_700 and OTEXERP 0962_600
to execute an upgrade to version 9.6.2 on ERP 6.0.

Caution
Caution: Read the disclaimer about SAP system upgrades in the
OpenText Archiving and Document Access Installation and Upgrade
Guide 9.6.2 (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?
func=ll&objaction=overview&objid=16364631).

Important
There is a significant change in the interfaces of DocuLink User-Exits
when changing from version 9.5.1, 9.5.2 or SAP 6.0 to 9.6.2. If you had
DocuLink projects with User-Exits, contact your OpenText consultant to
re-implement the User-Exits based on the interfaces as introduced with
9.5.0 or 9.6.x.

4. Continue with the upgrade path of version 9.6.2 as described in “Upgrading


from Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 - 10.0.0”
on page 53.

If you have the non-unicode DocuLink 6.0 branch installed on an R/3 4.7 or newer
system, and you want upgrading to DocuLink 10.5, you also must upgrade to SAP
ERP 6.0 or an EhP of SAP ERP 6.0.
In this case, we recommend the following upgrade path:

1. Install the Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 transports.

Important
Between 6.0 and 9.5, there is a significant change in the interfaces of
DocuLink User-Exits. If you have DocuLink projects with User-Exits,
contact your OpenText consultant to re-implement the User-Exits based
on the interfaces as introduced with 9.5.0 or higher. Consider to do this
step at the end of your full upgrade path before going live with the
updated version.

2. Upgrade your SAP system.

3. Continue with the upgrade path from version 9.6.0 to 16.2 as described in
“Upgrading from Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 -
10.0.0” on page 53.

9.1.6 Upgrading from Livelink ECM-Suite for SAP Solution


9.5.0
This section treats the transports of this release for SAP Basis 6.x and higher. Install
the transports of version 9.6.0 and follow the path as described in “Upgrading from
Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 9.6.0 - 10.0.0” on page 53.

9.1.7 Upgrading from Archiving and Document Access for


SAP Solutions 9.6.0 - 10.0.0
To start from transport version 9.6.0 or higher, OpenText recommends the following
upgrade path:
9.6.0 < 9.6.1+SP1 < 9.6.2 < 9.8.0 < 10.0.0 < 10.5.0 SP1 < 16 < 16.2.

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.

To follow the upgrade path, note the following:

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.

2. To obtain the Add-On’s installation passwords, see the installation guides of


Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions versions 9.6.1 - 16.2.

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

OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions – Installation and Upgrade

issue. Contact OpenText Customer Support to be provided with a special


correction program and guidance how to use it.
6. Upload all Add-On packages of OTEXBAS (and optionally OTEXERP) to the EPS\
in folder of your SAP system:

• Installation packages of OTEXBAS and OTEXERP 9.6.1


• Support package 1 of OTEXBAS 9.6.1
• Delta upgrade packages of OTEXBAS 9.6.2 and OTEXERP 9.6.2

Support Package 1 of OTEXBAS 10.5.0
• Installation packages of OTEXBAS 16 and OTEXERP 16
• Installation packages of OTEXBAS 16.2 and OTEXERP 16.2.
7. Check if you already have configured DesktopLink and DocuLink as GOS
services. Execute transaction SM30 and check table SGOSATTR. Note down the
entries, for example entries like IXOS_DC or IXOS_DL.
8. After installing the packages in steps 9- 17, do not apply any BC set activation
yet. Instead, check and apply the BC sets of version 16.2 in a later step.
9. Execute transaction SAINT on client 000 to install package OTEXBAS 9.6.1. In the
same installation queue, select support package 1 as target patch level.
10. Install OTEXERP 9.6.1 or skip, if you have issues with the EHP level of the SAP
ERP 6.0 Release.
11. Execute transaction SAINT on client 000 to install delta upgrade package of
OTEXBAS 9.6.2.

12. Install delta upgrade package of OTEXERP 9.6.2. If you had to skip the
installation of 9.6.1, use the installation package of OTEXERP 9.6.1 instead.

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.

Per version, the following packages are available:


• For 9.6.1 – OTEXCRM packages for CRM 4.0 and CRM 5.0
• For 9.6.2 – OTEXCRM packages for CRM 4.0, CRM 5.0, CRM 6.0, and higher
• For 9.8.0 – OTEXCRM package for CRM 5.0 and higher
• For 10.0.0 – OTEXCRM package for CRM 5.0 and higher

2. installation packages of OTEXCRM 10.0
3. installation packages of OTEXCRM 10.5
4. installation packages of OTEXCRM 16.0
5. installation packages of OTEXCRM 16.2

If you are starting on lower releases, check “Upgrading the SAP system”
on page 59.

On SRM-Systems - there is no optional SRM-Package for Archiving and Document


Access for SAP Solutions. Just follow the upgrade path of package OTEXBAS.

Note: Contact your OpenText consultant for planning your individual upgrade
strategy. Furthermore, the Knowledge Base of OpenText My Support provides
additional articles about upgrade paths.

9.2. Upgrading the SAP system

9.2 Upgrading the SAP system


Disclaimer

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.

9.2.1 Exchange upgrades keeping 16.2


Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16.2 is delivered with packages
that are installable on several ERP, CRM and SRM Systems based on SAP
NetWeaver 7.0 or compatible. See the latest Release Notes of Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions for an updated list. Therefore, no Exchange
Upgrade packages were created for this version. Instead, keep the already installed
Add-On packages of Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions as
suggested in the table below. To do this, select KEEP to keep the packages during
upgrade phase IS_SELECT and use the vendor keys as listed in the Release Notes of
OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions 16.2.

Note: Contact your OpenText consultant for planning your individual upgrade
strategy.

The following exchange upgrades are supported:

OTEXBAS.
Vendor keys are required.

Note: See the latest Release Notes of Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions to get the required vendor keys. Check also for additional notes on
installation and updates.

To perform an exchange upgrade procedure:

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.

2. After the upgrade, no activation of BC sets is 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
installing OTEXBAS and OTEXCRM version 16.2 as described in “Upgrading from

Handling communication protocols

Communication protocols define the way a document class is handled in SAP


applications. A protocol is assigned to an archive (content repository, storage
system). This ensures that all documents of a document class held in the same
archive (content repository) are handled in the same way.

Tip: For more information on protocols, see section 20.1.1.1 “Communication


protocols in SAP applications” in OpenText Archiving and Document Access for
SAP Solutions - Scenario Guide (ER-CCS).

This chapter describes the handling of the ArchiveLink communication protocols on


an SAP application server. You have to perform a manual configuration of the two
main protocols OT_OLEU1 and OT_HTTP2.

11.1 Maintaining OLE application


The OLE applications for Livelink Archive Windows Viewer (ALVIEWER.APP) and
Livelink Imaging: Enterprise Scan (IXOS.IXSCAN.SC2SAP) have to be modified or
created if they do not exist yet.

To modify or create OLE applications:

1. Execute the SOLE transaction and go to change mode.

2. Check if OLE applications ALVIEWER.APP and IXOS.IXSCAN.SC2SAP exist.

3. Create or check the Livelink Archive Windows Viewer application using the
following values:

11.3 Maintaining viewer components


These protocol settings determine which viewer component will be used for
document display:
• OT_HTTP2
For document display, the Web browser is invoked.
• OT_HTTP3
For document display, the Web browser is invoked. For scanning using the
archive ID and the document ID, an URL is created that can be signed. This URL
is passed on to the scan client.
• OT_OLEU1
For document display, the OpenText Imaging Windows Viewer will be invoked
via OLE.
• OT_OLEU2
For document display, the OpenText Imaging Windows Viewer will be invoked
via OLE. For scanning using the archive ID and the document ID, an URL is
created which can be signed. This URL is passed on to the scan client.

The protocols have to be modified or created if they do not exist yet.

To modify or create protocols:

1. Execute the OAA3 transaction (Protocol settings Maintenance).


If not already listed, create the protocols listed above (OT_HTTP2, OT_HTTP3,
OT_OLEU1, OT_OLEU2).

2. Double-click on the specific protocol entry.

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.
