Archivelink: Database error SICF ?

[RicardoRomero_1]

Hello,
I would want to use archivelink saving the data in SAP system database.

I've created in OAC0 this content repository:

Table ZSM_FILES_CONT is a copy of SDOKCONT1.

I've created a custom object in swo1 and did the configuration in spro...

I have this in OAC3:

I have a sample program to add content from a file using FM ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT.

I think is working fine It's not returning any exceptions, I have the doc id and table ZSM_FILES_CONT is growing.

But now I want to read the file using FM ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS and ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES, and with this last FM ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES I'm getting a error.

This error:

If I go to SICF and put an user, then I get this error CMS025:

HTTP error: 401 unauthorized

Is it necessary to define a user in SCIF for this ??? I only want to save the files in the database....

----
I think the code of the program is ok, If I use another existing content repository (but using HTTP content server) is working fine. I only need to change OAC3 to use this content and works fine.

This is the other content:

Do you know what I need to do to use the SAP System Database ??

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Did you check when you try to read the archiv if you access the ZF or Z2 content repository ?

Normally the content repository is available from the link table you have defined TOA01

[RicardoRomero_1]

How to check if I have access to this repositories ? With Z2 it's working fine, I can read the file and download it, and its ok.

I see that tabla TOA01 has the new entries I've created from the report.

[FredericGirod]

Did you try to check if your program get the correct information ?

for example here:

* Get the list of documents link to the BO
 ls_objecttype ='ZSM_FILES'.
 ls_object_id = lv_object_id.
CALLFUNCTION'ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS'
EXPORTING
 objecttype = ls_objecttype
 object_id = ls_object_id
TABLES
 connections = lt_connections
EXCEPTIONS
 nothing_found =1
OTHERS=2.
IFsy-subrc <>0.

I don't understand why you maintain SICF if you're using a database table as content repository to store your documents. SICF is mainly for services corresponding to inbound connections.

What error do you have concerning the database table?

[RicardoRomero_1]

@Sandra, I'm not using SICF, this is the error I've got. Dont know why.
Is there any incorrect in my content repository? may be this is the problem.
Where is the settings to this SICF service used... First time I'm creating a content repository, but I didnt put anything about SICF in it (or not?). I only want to use database tables...
Is there any other FM to get the data instead of ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES?

@Frederic, Yes, with this FM I've got the files linked to the id of my BO.

[FredericGirod]

yes your customizing looks OK

maybe the link between th document type & the content repository ...

it is why I ask you to check if your report get the correct repository depending of the document.

For me the SICF error is due to incorrect content respository determination

[RicardoRomero_1]

Yes, this sample program is creating the file and afterwards trying to read it.
I've got a Doc Id when I'm creating the file, and with this FM I'm obtaining the same Doc Id.
So I guess it's ok.
To create the file linked with my custom BO I'm using as BO key a different time stamp each time, so I'm only getting one unique connection, only one exists from the file I've just created.

[RicardoRomero_1]

this is the last execution, the ARCHIV_ID is ZF, so I think its ok

[Sandra_Rossi]

Ricardo Romero Mata You must NOT use SICF if you store documents in database table.

[Sandra_Rossi]

There's one design issue in your program: the document type ZSM_F_PDF is hardcoded, so it means that its content repository (OAC3) should be used, consequently defining the content repository as an input parameter is non-sense.

[karim_benakli_kb]

Hi,

this is SAP standard behaviour, in many cases the /sap/bc/contentserver service is used by default, and must therefore be correctly activated.

This is described in OSS notes 685521 and 1898201

Rgds,

Karim

[Sandra_Rossi]

Nice! More easy to follow via the screenshots of the note 1898201 - Access fails to repository on 'R/3 system database'.

I reproduce the symptom, and it happens only with ArchiveLink and only for reading (ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_..., SCMS_AO_...)

If I read directly the content repository via SCMS_DOC_READ (need to define a storage category in OACT to refer to ZF), there is no more error.

I really wonder why there is such a difference...

[RicardoRomero_1]

That was the problem !!! Thanks !!!

[RicardoRomero_1]

Hi, Sandra.

Thanks for the reference of FM SCMS_DOC_READ and OACT, this exactly what I need.

The custom BO is not necessary for this requirement anymore !

[RicardoRomero_1]

Hi, Sandra, problem solved with note 685521.

Report has not any problems (well it's a test program... ). As I understood you can specify the same document type for several links in OAC3.

You define the different document types in this SPRO path, with no relation with a content repository:
Spro -> SAP NetWeaver -> Basis Services -> ArchiveLink -> Basic Customizing -> Edit Document Types

Then, in Edit Links, you can use this document type in several "links".

In my case the document type was new, created for this requierement and only used for my custom BO and content repository.
