Transfer files from SAP R/3 to KM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I search for a way to transfer some files e.g. PDF from SAP R/3 4.7 to KM Repository of EP 6. In the R/3 the pdf files will be created from spoolfiles with a function . The files should be stored in a collaboration room , but for the first step i try to find if there is a way to transfer this files with a batch job from R/3 to EP 6.0 Portal.

I’ve search in the sdn but until now i find some posts to use the km api or webdynpro to transfer the data from local Webfrontend into the km.

Thanks for got an idea to find a way.

Best regards

Hi all,

at this moment we have no solution, but I want give you an update of our problem.

We want to use ice to transport the files to the portal directory, has someone ever done such transfer ?

Portal Drive was an other way, but this must be installed on the server (SAP) and it isn't a windows server, and it is an dialog tool so there is no way.

I heard from a developer from SAP that they will have a solution in a later ...... verseion of sap, but this will be a long time.

Best regards

Did you consider WebDAV?

Hi Julian,

thanks for response, Webdav is a simple way to store some information in the km, but there must be a user login to have access to the folder. The file that should be stored in the km should be placed in different folders which different User rights. So the link must contain the user an pw. The second question is how can in R/3 start to post the file to such link, is there a function already available or do you know some code to implement this.

Hi Thorsten,

The program which generates the PDF document in R/3 can directly dump the documents in a file server.

You can configure the CM repository in KM to access documents from this file server.

Let me know your thoughts on the same.

Hi Thorsten,

Were you able to find a solution to this.

Can you please share it with us.

Hi Vivek,

until now I haven't found a solution in detail, but some ways to verify the connection.

I wrote about a tool that export the pdf to the filesystem, this wont be able at this time, it must developed, because a function will place the data in a sap table and from this point there we can export it on the filesystem after we've develop some abap code.

I thought that was already available, but that what i found was the Report RSTXPDFT4 in the sap system, with this you can transfer spool to pdf and store the file in dialog on a filesystem, there will webdav be able to use, but it must be batch.

So I search to a new way, I try to set the repository for rooms from persitence from db to fsdb, this works, but with our patch sp9 there are some errors, so i must patch it to sp 15/16 first.

I'm able to make the netshare on windows, so the repository is reachable with an unc Path. If the report, that must be written can access such unc path (normaly thats works in the same domain) we can store the Files in the room workspace document folder an the portal synch job can make the rest. >IN the sap system there must be a table to map the rooms to the responsable folder.

This way should be work, but it isn't fine for productive, I heard from a way to transfer the data with java. In CRm System there should be a fnction from sap CRM_ISA_ORDER_CONVERT_TO_PDF and the isa use the java-stream to transform it in pdf, but this is nothing for me, that must be checked from a java developer, a colleague of my will check this.

Hi sireesha,

until now I haven't a detail solution for this problem, only some ideas.

From where did you want to store the html file in the portal km, and wehre there , own repository, room ?

If you use a SAP system, you can use ntfs mount of the portal repository (this must be in fsdb mode and there must be a share) and store the file in the directory.

Best regards
