Hi Sam ra,

generally all kinds of file formats are available for adding originals in the DMS area. A prequisite for this is, that you maintain a workstation application for it in transaction DC30. Here you have to maintain the file format for the application,

the necessary suffix and set the 'Start Application' flag. Since the workstation application is created you should be able to add originals with the maintained file format to document info records in transaction CV02N. If the file format is maintained correctly the right workstation application will be choosen automatically by the system.

For further settings in transaction DC30 please see also the following WIKI link:

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/2.Customizing%28CA-DMS-EAI%29

Here you will find also necessary informations about the usage of the ECL viewer or how to configure an external viewer for displaying originals. Screenshots of DC30 settings are also included here.

For all further information on settings in DC30 transaction please see also the blue info button in the transaction.

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

I have the requirement that to download the all the active drawing(DWG) files to local file system or data base for purpose.

1. I am looking at BAPIS to download from external program.

Do we have any BAPIS to get the files from DMS.?

2. And i want to convert those DWG files to pdf files.

Is there any way we can convert in the dms and download or

I have to download DWG to localsystem and convert afterwards??

Please help me.

Thanks

Hi Vansi,

To be able to download original files to your PC I would recommend you to use the report DMS_KPRO_READ. Here you can enter the necessary document info record data and the report will display all attached originals. Additionally you will find a small green button beside each original. With this button you can download the original to a specific path on your PC.

If you want to do this by using BAPIs I would kindly ask you to see the SAP note 766277 which contains a complete documentation on all existing DMS BAPIs. For example you can use the following BAPIs:

- CheckoutView2

- CheckoutViewX

If you want to execute the BAPIs from external programs I would recommend you to use API function module because they are more flexible and able to be used in background too. For these special cases please see SAP note 504692.

Regarding your second question I would like to inform you that there is a possibility to convert originals by using a specific defined converter. You can convert one document info record by using transaction CONV02 or a document structure by using CONV04. Before you have to configure a suitable converter and define a conversion routine in the customizing (SPRO). For further information please see the SAP Online Documentation (http://help.sap.com) under

- SAP ERP Central Component

- Cross-Application Components

- Document Management

- Conversion

Here you will find all the necessary information on how to set up a converter and

a conversion.

I hope this information is usefull for you and don't forget to reward points in that case!

Best regards,

Christoph
