Retriving documents from ArchiveLink and get the content

[DG]

Hi,

I have to get the data content from a IXOS archive. The archive is defined as RFC connection, and it is therefore not possible to retrive the documents via HTTP.

I would like to get access to the binary content of the document, which I can send back to a user over HTTP.

Best Regards

While SAP may be set up for an RFC connection can you not use:

http://<server>:8080/archive.dll?get&pVersion=0045&contRep=<CR>&docId=<ArcID>;

where <server> is the IXOS server, <CR> is TOA01-ARCHIV_ID and <ArcID> is TOA01-ARC_DOC_ID?

I didn't think this was dependant on the SAP settings.

Hi,

It seems to work and I can get the document via http and there is no encryption on our server.

Hi Daniel,

Maybe you can help. I need to setup an RFC connection to our IXOS archive system via SM59.
Unfortuantely our IXOS expert can not give me a hint how to do this for this special machine.Could you give me a few screen shots how you did this ?

I want to use this connection in the next step to get info (file sizes) of originals. There is a SE37 function for that purpose - but this needs an RFC connection.

Would be great if you could help me.

Merci - Thanks a lot - Wolfgang

Sorry. I'm not at that client anymore.

I am hardly surprised that your IXOS Expert cannot assist in creating an RFC connection. RFC Logical archives were deprecated with version 5.5 of IXOS-eCONserver.

Unless you have a very old version of IXOS an FM based on a RFC call is most likey not going to work.

IXOS server responds to SAP Archivelink calls via HTTP.

You should probably look into using an HTTP call.

http://ixossserver:port/archive?info&pVersion=0045&contRep=ContentRepName&docId=docidstr

This will retrieve a info file on the document. The entry for X-Content-Length: is the size of the file in bytes.
