URL to file (original) in DIR

Former Member

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to link directly to a file in DMS. Using PLM7, it is easy to link to the DIR, but how to link to the actual file is eluding me.

Any ideas?

More specific then.

I need to be able to create a URL that links to the file of a DIR, so i can have a http://servername/linktofile

Hi Espen,

You can check in document distribution -> Receipient list. while creating a list there are options for attchments or links.

I hope this will help you to send links to other people.Right? correct me if wrong.

I hope this will be helpful to you.

Hi Espen,

You may explore the below 2 options in that case(would vouch for the 2nd):

1. Via the SAP Enterprise Portal(provided DMS & portal integration is achieved). The user(post logging in to the portal) needs to search for the document in SAP DMS and open/access the document. No scope for publishing the URL though.

2.Create a function module(ABAP Consultant) that will issue URL link to the document which can be posted onto an external website. You may setup the url to check the SAP authorisation first to ensure that the person is authorised to view the document.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys, and thanks for your effort so far.

I'm more thinking along the lines of a http service that gives me the file, link if you link to a pdf or word doc on the internet.

THe function module SDOK_PHIO_GET_URL_FOR_GET generates the URL, but it is internal and links only then and there to the file on the content server. This is not really good enough, so we meed actually need to create something from scratch,.

THe screens in PLMWUI does not create a link to the file itself, but uses a JAVA-applet for file management, so is probably not a feasible avenue.

what i really want is a url like this: http://myserver:myport/path/dmsgetdocument?dokar=100&dokno=100000002&doktl=000&dokvr=01&filevarianti...

It needs authentication, so that can easily be done using logon tickets for machine users and username/pass for human users.

Now, that would be a killer

Hi Espen,

By linking,i believe you are hinting at assigning the original files to a DIR. If yes, there are several ways to do this.In the initial screen, select the 'originals' tab.Then, use the 'create' or 'open' pushbuttons and provide the necessary values to the fields before uploading/creating the original/s(assuming you have defined the workstation apps)
