Search Documents by Object links matching ALL or NOTHING

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I am using ''BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST2" to search for documents present in the DMS documentum server.

Object search is carried out as OR-search and all documents are received which are linked to one of the entered objects or all objects.

What i am expecting to match all the conditions/Object links and perform a AND search.

I also came across a blog discuss this.

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/2.+Document+Search+-+Functionalities

Is there any SAP note on this regard ?

Please share your thoughts.

Hi Prabakar,

Have you did indexing for the documents, As per my understanding the text search will work only on the indexed documents.

If you able to search only with text from CV04N which can also be search from BAPI.

Hi Neyeemur,

I am not searching for documents based on texts instead it is based on Object links. It is passed into the BAPI to the argurement as shown below. Please suggest.

*Fetch list of Documents
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST2'

Hi,

Try the BAPI which you mentioned give as below.

GETDOCDATA                      X

GETOBJECTLINKS                  X

in tables 

OBJLINKSELECTION                   1 Entry  ( give the object and execute)

you will get the list in return of  DOCUMENTDATA with the DIR values. Hope my understanding on your requirement is clear.

Rgds,

Hi Neeyeemur,

Search logic in reference to object links was changed in release ERP2005. Before this search was carried out as a AND-search which means that if you enter more than one object the system search for document info records which are linked to both objects.

This was not very user-friendly as most of the customer expected to get all documents which are linked to at least one of the entered objects. Therefore the system design was changed now the object search is carried out as OR-search and all documents are

received which are linked to one of the entered objects or all objects.

Now i am looking for the inverse scenario mentioned above. Require a AND search instead of OR when passing multiple selections (entries) in Object Links selection

Please suggest .
