SAP Office(work item) Attachments needs to be stored on DMS(IXOS)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My client want all the work item attachments(like doc,pdfss) of work items to be stored on DMS instead of SAP Database.

Initially I thought it is not possible. But after reading couple of posts here..it sounded like it is possible.

I really appreciate if some can help me in doing this config..

thanks,

Another update,I tried to change the content repository SOFFDB(Database storage for SAPOffice documents) to point to IXOS

server. I used the same entries from another working IXOS content repositor. But I am getting the fallowing error when I tried to attach document to work item.

'Include file in PC application. Try again?'

Here is my settings:

Content Rep : SOFFDB

Document Area : <blank>

Storage type : HTTP content server

Protocol : IX_OLEU1

Version no : 0045 Content Server version 4.5

HTTP server : xx.xx.xxx.xxx

Port Number : xxxx SSL Po

HTTP Script : Archive

Basic Path : /usr/local/.... valid path

Archive Path : /usr/local/....same valid path..

Please let me know what I am missing...

Set the data carrier ( SPRO->Cross-Application Components->Document Management->General Data->Define Data Carrier )

then Define Workstation Application ( SPRO->Cross-Application Components->Document Management->General Data->Define Workstation Application )

Just check these things & get back.

Hi All, thanks very much for your time to post your thoughts..

Finally we were able to fix this issue..Just to share the solution..here is solution..

change the content repository 'SOFFDB; to point to your external DMS

Storage type - 'HTTP Content sever'

Protocol - DMS protocol

HTTP Server : server URL

Port Number : 8080

Basic Path: path on the server

Work with DMS/basis team to create the directory path on DMS..
