Problem viewing .xlsx and .xlsm file in DMS using Display from Archive Link

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are using IXOS as a content server for storing the documents through SAP Archive Link.

We are not storing any documents in SAP DMS.

The client has an requirement to manage .xlsx and .xlsm documents.

1. xlsx - We defined a new document class xlsx under SAP NetWeaver ..-> ArchvieLink and made the required mime and sheet settings. This allows to upload a .xlsx file to IXOS server succesfully (using Check in Archive) link.

But whenever we try to view the file using "Display from Archive", the browser gives a warning message that the file is in different format than xls. Do you want to still open (Standard Excel application message). On clicking yes, the file opens in .xls format instead of .xlsx.

The client doesn't want to change the format to .xls. What can be done to preserve the .xlsx files.

2. xlsm - Any clue as to does SAP ECC 6.0 support this file type for DMS? And if how the config settings are to be done?

I will be grateful any help.

Thanks.

Ketki

Hi Ketki,

based on your description I think that maybe SAP note 1289314 could help here and made sure that the local copy also has extension XLSX or XLSM.

Best regards,
