Uploading pdf file to dms

Former Member — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:05:48 GMT

Hi,

1- My requirement is to upload a pdf file to dms and it should give a return value that wheather it is successfully uploaded or not.

2- A .net guy is doing the coding and I need to give him any bapi or function module so that he can upload the pdf file to DMS.

can anyone suggest what I have to do in detail, as I don't have much knowledge about DMS.

Regards

Shilpa

As the coding is done on .net, I think so that the file will be uploaded from WEB. You can view this thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/2090208 and see the last reply from the OP himself where it's mentioned in steps for using function CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN

Hi,

You can make use of below the BAPIs

BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 and BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2, as these are BAPI's the .net guy can directly use them, First BAPI can give you the details of the content server where the PDF file needs to be stored for a particular document. The second canbe used to upload the PDF file to that particular document.

In BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2, the Tables parameter must have the below entry for the PDF file.

documentfiles-storagecategory = "Content server.

documentfiles-docpath = "Directory path where the PDF file.

documentfiles-docfile = "PDF file name.

documentfiles-wsapplication = 'PDF'.

documentfiles-checkedin = 'X'.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Try with the below logic, It is used to upload a PDF document into an existing Document. Copy the below code into a program and test.

DATA:   li_files TYPE TABLE OF bapi_doc_files2,
        ls_files TYPE bapi_doc_files2,
        ls_return TYPE bapiret2.

CONSTANTS : lc_pdf TYPE bapi_doc_files2-wsapplication
              VALUE 'PDF',
              lc_path TYPE bapi_doc_files2-docpath
              VALUE 'C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\AGARW01S\DESKTOP\',
              lc_x   TYPE c VALUE 'X'.

PARAMETERS : p_dokar TYPE draw-dokar,
             p_doknr TYPE draw-doknr,
             p_doktl TYPE draw-doktl,
             p_dokvr TYPE draw-dokvr.

START-OF-SELECTION.

    ls_files-storagecategory = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
    ls_files-docpath          = lc_path.
    ls_files-docfile          = '10 2_VIEW 1.PDF' .
    ls_files-wsapplication    = lc_pdf.
    ls_files-checkedin        = lc_x.
    APPEND ls_files TO li_files.
    CLEAR : ls_files.

* BAPI to check in all converted PDFs
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2'
         EXPORTING:
           documenttype    = p_dokar
           documentnumber = p_doknr     <--- Provide the document number into which the PDF is attached.
           documentpart    = p_doktl
           documentversion = p_dokvr
         IMPORTING
          return     = ls_return
         TABLES
           documentfiles = li_files.

IF ls_return-type CA 'EA'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'.

ELSE.

    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
      EXPORTING
        wait = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Also provide the details of your requirment, does this pdf file upload will be done with CV01N/CV02N transactions or a separate program will be used.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Shilpa,

The above program will work only for already existing Documents, i.e it will work only for CV02N, so take any already created Document and also check the status of the Document, whether it allows you to add any document or not. For creating of Document, you have to use another set of BAPI before the above program.

What will be the file names of PDF documents in the presentation server, how will you attach each PDf to different Documents.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

In the lc_path just give directory path, don't include filename, if possible don't use desktop for pdf files. Use below code

    DATA:   li_files TYPE TABLE OF bapi_doc_files2,
          ls_files TYPE bapi_doc_files2,
          ls_return TYPE bapiret2.

              VALUE 'C:\AGARW01S\',
              lc_x   TYPE c VALUE 'X'.

PARAMETERS : p_dokar TYPE draw-dokar,
               p_doknr TYPE draw-doknr,
               p_doktl TYPE draw-doktl,
               p_dokvr TYPE draw-dokvr.

START-OF-SELECTION.

ls_files-storagecategory = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
ls_files-docpath          = lc_path.
ls_files-docfile          = '10 2_VIEW 1.PDF' .
ls_files-wsapplication    = lc_pdf.
ls_files-checkedin        = lc_x.
ls_files-active_version   = lc_x.
APPEND ls_files TO li_files.
CLEAR : ls_files.

* BAPI to check in all converted PDFs
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2'
         EXPORTING:
           documenttype    = p_dokar
           documentnumber = p_doknr

           documentpart    = p_doktl
           documentversion = p_dokvr
         IMPORTING
          return     = ls_return
         TABLES
           documentfiles = li_files.

Hi,

Do you have any idea what are the mandatory parameters and the values we need to pass in BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2.

Re: Uploading pdf file to dms

Former Member — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:04:18 GMT

Hi Shilpa,

REFDOCUMENTTYPE

REFDOCUMENTNUMBER

REFDOCUMENTPART

REFDOCUMENTVERSION

and COPYOBJECTLINKS

are mandatory i think.

Pls check

Re: Uploading pdf file to dms

former_member585060 — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:31:41 GMT

Hi,

You can also use BAPI 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2' for creating new Document, you can refer my previous post regarding the sample code.

Re: Uploading pdf file to dms

Former Member — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:00:04 GMT

I am creating for the existing document only. I checked in CV01N that document exist there and in released state. Then also I am getting this error.

I failed to understand reason behind this.
