Loading documents and attaching them to business objects

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to load documents (Word and PDF files) into a content management server linked to a SAP CRM system. The documents need to be attached to business objects such as interaction records (BUS2000126) and service tickets (BUS2000116).

I have experimented with FMs <b>BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF</b> and <b>ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT</b> but haven't yet found the right combination of values. The best I have done is to create a link which is visible in the GUI as an icon, but when I double click on it, I get an error message saying that the document does not exist (error 404).

The import parameters I am using in BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF are:

LOGICAL_SYSTEM = [blank]

CLASSNAME = ZCSIP_LTR (a value from table TOADV)

CLASSTYPE = BO

CLIENT = [default]

OBJECT_KEY = [blank]

FILES

DOC_COUNT = 00000001

COMP_COUNT = 00000001

COMP_ID = [blank]

DIRECTORY = U:\DOCUMENTS\TEST DATA\

FILENAME = FA.PDF

MIMETYPE = application/pdf

SIGNATURE

DOC_COUNT = 00000001

PROP_NAME = BDS_CONTREP

PROP_VALUE = ZT (my content repository name)

The FM returns a GUID as the OBJECT_KEY ...

Then I am using ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT as follows:

ARCHIV_ID = ZT

ARC_DOC_ID = [GUID returned by BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF]

AR_OBJECT = ZCSIP_LTR (a value from table TOADV - as above)

MANDANT = [default client as above]

OBJECT_ID = [GUID of the object I want to attach the document to]

SAP_OBJECT = [Business object identifier] e.g. BUS2000126

DOC_TYPE = PDF

Can what I need to do be achieved through just using BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF? What import parameters should I use? What values should they contain?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,

BDS classname BUS2032 and classtype BO

but function module 'BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF' and cl_bds_document_set class method

here is the code..

DATA: o_document_set TYPE REF TO cl_bds_document_set,

wa_signature LIKE bapisignat,

i_signature LIKE bapisignat OCCURS 1,

wa_files LIKE bapifiles,

i_files LIKE bapifiles OCCURS 1,

i_object_key LIKE bapibds01-objkey.

CREATE OBJECT o_document_set.

MOVE: '1' TO wa_signature-doc_count,

'1' TO wa_files-doc_count,

APPEND wa_signature TO i_signature.

APPEND wa_files TO i_files.

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply and code. However, I am still getting the same error message - I was wondering if there was some configuration missing in my system - please suggest areas I should check.

Hi,

Have you checked to see whether config for your business object is needed in txn sbdsv1?

By the way, thanks to both of you, you have enabled me to cut much time off my project.

Hi,

I have checked in txn sbdsv1 and there is config for all the document types I am using.

I've found another FM which loads a document from a file and assigns it to a business object all at once: ARCHIV_CREATE_DIALOG_META

ARCHIV_ID = repository ID (table TOAAR)

AR_OBJECT = document type (table TOADV)

NOTE = free text

OBJECT_ID = GUID of the business object

SAP_OBJECT = Business object ID (table TOJTB)

FILE = Name and path of the document

A successful load will populate the ARC_DOC_ID, CONTREP_ID and DOC_CLASS fields in OUTDOCTAB

You can even delete a link and a document using FM ARCHIV_DELETE_META ...
