How to enable Document Management System module?

Former Member — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:04:32 GMT

Hi there,

I am new to SAP and just managed to install NetWeaver + ABAP trial version from community download. When I run "cv04n" (search document) or "cv01n" (create document), the SAP GUI indicates the transaction does not exist. These T-code seems to be part of Document Management system.

Does anyone know how to install or enable this module? The SAP installer is called "NWABAPTRIAL70211_64.rar". Thanks.

Best Wishes,

Jason

Hi Jason,

I'm not sure that you can add transactions in like this. Document management is in a seperate system which would need to be installed too, and I doubt that this is part of the ABAP trial system.

Hi Utkarsh,

Thank you for the reply. But ADS seems to be a specialized Document Management System. Is it the only supported DMS in SAP?

Hi,

Please read this note.

Note 1261014 - SAP Easy Document Management 6.0 SP12/SP12 P1 Release Note

Easy DM 7.1 SP 04 Patch 6 also released.

This is a front end application so has to be installed on every different system. This is around 20 mb and can be installed very easily- just double click on the exe and it gets installed.I recommend to install it manually. Installation of EDMS is very simple: it copies the files and then calls regsrv32 for EasyDmsExplorer.dll and EasyDmsExplorer.tlb. You can see a list of all steps from file setup.log if you installed it via setup.exe.

For your scenario you should try to create a script or batch for installation. I use another option: I created a MSI setup file, that also kills explorer before installation to support online updates and that can handle patches.

Hello

I don't think a trial version will provide the DMS functionality.

DMS is part of the SAP PLM solution.

You can get the information here:
