Hello,
We have built a custom solution (custom objects, transactions, number ranges, UIs, etc.) to handle certain kind of requests in our SAP system. Now we would like to add file attachment functionality to our transaction(s) - in other words we want that the users will have possibility to add files as attachments when creating new requests or changing the existing ones.
What is the best approach to handle this requirement? From user interface point of view this is not an issue. I am familiar with the different file uploading possibilities within classic dynpro and web dynpro. The question is that how to store the files and where.
I don't think that storing the files into the SAP DB is really an option due to the large amount of large files. (I think that this would be quite easy to implement.) We have content server(s), but they have been configured as DMS - they are storing some engineering documents etc. into these content repositories.
Would it be possible to store the documents into these DMS content repositories (if yes, how can we do it?) and make a link between the file and our documents into a custom table? As far as I understand we really cannot start using the document info record functionality for our custom objects (or perhaps we can, but it will require a quite massive work effort.)
Or is it just the best option to configure new content repositories as type ArchiveLink, and then store the documents into these new content repositories?
Any other options?
Any thoughts are welcome.
Regards,
