archiving pdf-document in external store ?

Former Member — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 08:27:34 GMT

hi there,

i have a projekt, where i have to archive pdf-files on a external archive (ixos). i use the FM 'ARCHIV_CREATE_SYNCHRON_META' to archive the pdf-files.

the big problem is the following: the name of the original pdf-file is not saved. there is only the document-id, which i got back from the archive-server. but in emergency-cases i have to restore all the pdf-files from the archive-server with the ORIGINAL pdf-name. this is important because the name is kind of a 'key' for finding documents in other, non-sap-systems !

any ideas for that ?

regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

If you are getting back the document id then you can store that in custom table where you can store PDF file name and the object id. You will have the name of PDF when you use the FM to archive it.

So whenever you have to get back the file you can refer to the custom table to get the name.

hi Chintamani,

well, i also thougt about a custom table, of course ! BUT: i thougt that there a STANADRD methods or FM'S which are able to support this. the problem is also that there are MAAANY pdf-files which are saved. so one more customer table would mean: many space 'wasted'.....
