Hi Pranav

For SAP DMS Implementation you require ECC 6.0 ( R/3) for which there is always server available for Project.

Additionaly you will require SAP Content Server 6.40.This will be used to stored Documents ( Word , Excel, pdf, ppt etc..) created in SAP DMS ( R/3 ).Seperate Hardware is required for Installing SAP Content Server.This is always recommended.

Hi Pranav

Also Consider below mentionedpoints.

1.What types of documents and other content can be created within an organization.

2.What templates to use for each type of document.

3.What metadata to provide for each type of document.

4.Where to store documents at each stage of a document's life cycle.

5.How to control access to a document at each stage of its life cycle.

6.How to move documents within the organization as team members contribute to the documents' creation, review, approval, publication, and disposition.

6.What policies to apply to documents so that document-related actions are audited, documents are retained or disposed of properly, and content important to the organization is protected.

7.How documents are converted as they transition from one stage to another during their life cycles.

8.How documents are treated as corporate records, which must be retained according to legal requirements and corporate guidelines.

Hi Pranav

Whenever you are implementing SAP DMS for any client Following are steps necessary for Implementation of SAP DMS.

1. Gathering of Customer Requirement in terms of Expectation from Customer from SAP Document Management System in terms of Using Create ,change ,display ,search ,Distribution and Linking into various business process.Method of Storage of Storage is very Important Part of the Solution.So server sizing has to be carried out Properly considering the Future growth.

2. We require ECC 6.0 for Implementing SAP DMS. No Seperate Licencense Require.We can use SAP Web DMS to work on SAP as well as Tool called SAP Easy Document Management System 7.0 which is latest.This is similar to Windows explorer.

3. You can store Document in SAP Archive, Vaults,SAP Database or Content Server.So seperate server would be required for Storage of Document.But method has to be decided first.

4. If customer want web based ascess you can do it with SAP Enterprise Portal also.Standard Business Packages are available which can deployed on SAP EP with litlle Config and ready to use.

5. When Gathering Requirements Divide your client Organization Based on Function Such as Engineering , Marketing , Sales , Projects , Finanace,Stores , Procurement etc. And get requirement from each function seperately in terms of Documents handling ,storage, Appproval process, Whether Versioning , Revisioning is required.How documents flow from on function to anather.And Many more.

My Friend there are many more points but have given you some to start with.

Here is good Presentation to Start With

HI Pranav,

you won't require seperate server for DMS you will be using the same R/3 Server and Depending upon requirement you can have external Content Server where all Original files(PDF,DWG,DOC,XLS) of DMS will be stored and you can also configure TREX Server for Searching within the document contents. TREX Server can be installed on the same Server where Content Server Software is installed.

Hai,

You need to have SAP GUI installed on you local PC.Recent version of document managment system is 6.0, SP09. You can freely download it from service marketplace. we have to maintain parameters like System ID, Name, IP etc. Regarding implemention, please vist the following links

Hi,

You need R/3 4.6 and higher(r/3 4.70) .Also You need ECC 6.0 /SAP EASY Document Management 6.0 for the implementation of DMS.

check for the below notes for release and support packages SAP Note 686932 and 862482.

Now you have also got a new version SAP EASY Document Management 7.0( but i think still in rampup phase).

Any how the content server would come with the installation of WAS.

Regards,

Kavitha
