External URL Link to Solution manager Document Management

Former Member

Hi All,

I am working on document management in Solution manager EHP1 system.

I read that we can provide external url link to documents in solution manager enabling access through a url. This will reduce dependecy to login to sapgui.

I am not clear on how to achive this and request your help on the same.

I have done the following:

1. Created external alias for contentserver service.

2. Assinged the role to the service user for that alias.

When i go to tcode SOLAR02, it opens up an existing project and shows general documentation tab. But i am unable to find any "Generate URL" push button.

Kindly let me know which services to activate to achieve the Generate URL pushbutton.

Also My system is already configured and operational. Can I run the report for activating service, again? will this cause any reversal of custom settings?

Thanks and Regards,

Raghavan

Hi

You need to generate for each document one by one.

goto document and click attributes tab

here in the lower you have GENERATE URL button click on it

This will generate and copy the URL to clipboard

So if u press Ctrl + V on ur IE you can view the same

Hope it solves ur prob

For mass generation you need to go for development.

Hi Prakhar,

Thanks for the process. I am now able to generate the url.

But when i paste it in IE and test it only show "The page not found".

I created a project and uploaded a .doc in project documentation. I generated the url.

THe url generated is as follows:

http://<hostname>:8000/sap/bc/solman/SolmanDocuments/100?_CLASS=SOLARGEN&_LOIO=DEFF569DCBED1DF18B960...;

When i tried to test the service, /sap/bc/solman/SolmanDocuments in SICF, that also shows only "page cannot be displayed".

Kindly let me know how to proceed.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Prakhar,

Got the solution. I created the external alias for /contentserver and it caused the issue.

I am now able to open the document through a url. Thanks very much for your support.

I have one more quesiton. In ABAP we are able to check out and check in documents. IS there a possiblity to provide that interface as a BSP Page. IS it available in solution manager?

Hi

Check out/check in is there in SAP GUI only and in IE it is open only in Read only mode.

Simply because there are lot of tables associated with each document

Therefore if you want in IE then u need to go for Developement

Now if your prb is solved then close the thread and pls check this

Hi Prakhar,

Thanks for your ideas. I can now access the documents. I thought that the BSP application would show the list of documents and hence was confused.

Thanks again for your help.

Can one of you elaborate on how to do what was describe?

"created the external alias for /contentserver and it caused the issue"

I'm have the same need to allow users to open documents in read mode in IE.

Thanks in advance!
