Office Document Imaging as Viewer with Archivelink ?

[Former Member]

Hello,

i'm dealing with these Archivelink themes for the first time. We have an archive (SAPERION) which is connected to SAP Rel.4.7 using HTTP.

i've read the documentation but it's just confusing .

What would be the customizing ( OAA3, OAA4 ?? ) to use the Microsoft Document Imaging just to view documents ?

Is it possible to get the viewer user - dependend ( perhaps via exit ) - so that the usery could decide which viewer (ECL-Viewer or Microsoft ) they want to use ? i found in debuuging the table TOAEX but no documentation what to do with that .

An help would be appreciated ..

Regards Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

If you would need to open the documents with Microsoft Office Document

Imaging without opening the document viewer,please do the following

settings in your system.

1.Launch the transaction OAC0.Double click on the respective content

repository.

2.Go to edit mode.click on the 'Full Adminstarion' tab.

3.Please maintain a protocol if not maintained already.for example the

protocol SAPHTTP.save it.

4.Launch the transaction OAA3.Create an entry with the same protocol and

the same version.Save it.

5.Double click on the protocol and it will take you to a screen

'Over view of protocol'.

Then click on 'Display Stored document' >Choose the document type

'TIF' >choose the communication type as 'ARCHIVELNK' >Click on

continue.

Similarly click on 'Retrieve Stored Document on Client PC' >choose the

communication type as 'TABLE' >Click on continue.

Then click on 'Display local file' >choose communicaion type as

'ARCHIVELNK' >Click on continue.

6.SAVE the settings.

Once the above setting is done,the document should get displayed with

the Microsoft Office Document Imaging in your system.

Hello Cristoph,

thank you very much - didn't expect to get an answer any more.

It works - the pity is that here every client looks different. Is there any docu one this table TOAEX ?

I still dream on making that behavior user-dependant ..

Hi Wolfgang,

I'm glad to hear that it works. Unfortunatly there is no documentation for the table in transaction SE11. This is an BC-SRV-ARL (ArchiveLink) table and I regret but I'm not an ARL expert. Maybe the SAP Online documentation (http://help.sap.com) provides some useful information on this table in the ArchiveLink area.

Best regards,

Christoph
