External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link

[Former Member]

We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.

Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.

If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?

Many Thanks

Hi,

If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.

In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.

We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.

I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.
