data carrier and file naming convention in DMS

[former_member845166]

Hi all PLM expert,

I want to know what is the file naming convention in DMS when it is stored temporally on local PC..

whenever i view file from DMS on local pc some times it stores file as

1. _xxx or

2. temp_xxx

where xxx is sap login id.

the defined data carrier is PC with path c:\temp but files are stored on c:\ directly

the other defined data carrier is DT with path c: does it affecting..

Hi

It all depends on DC20 and DC10

In DC20

under <b>Define data carrier type "server, front end"</b>

you have <b>PC</b> as data carrier with <b>default directory</b> as <b>C:\</b>

now by selectin the row,

Identify frontend computers

just check for <b>default entry</b>

if not there <b>click on button default entry..</b>

Now C;\ ll be used

Also one can map network address for users to have diff locations

like

dniranjan1245

arijit2341

etc etc

For frontend computers whose system variable is not maintained, you can make one DEFAULT entry. All frontend computers with the network address DEFAULT are then all automatically allocated to this data carrier type.

Example:

Data carrier type: PC

Network address: DEFAULT

All frontend computers which have no "hostname" variable defined are assigned the data carrier type "PC".

Got it...

Also if u uncheck <b>no rename allowed</b> for doc type in DC10, then you get XXX01,xxx02 for same document...

Hi Niranhjan,

It is working after setting path of pc to c:\temp\

but if the temp dir is not present in c\ then it is failing to open the doc.

I tried in other system( ecc 5, ecc 6) with same setting it is creating temp folder automatically .

I want system should create c:\temp\ folder automatically if not available

i am using R\3 4.6c system

what extra setting i have to do to avail this facility

hope i have mentioned problem clearly...

Thanks

Hi shiv,

hi,

when i try to open the doc. sap tries to open the doc inc:\temp\ directory.

if the c:\tempi directory is present documents are displayed normally.

if the c:\temp directory not present system throws error "file c:\temp\xxx can not be created". when i create the directory manually sap opens file normaly..

This is scenario in R/3 4.6c..

I tried this in ecc 5, ecc 6 there is no error displayed..

if temp directory not present sap creates temp directory and open the file .

what needs to do in R/3 4.6c to archive this functionality..

Hi Shiv,

unfortunatly there is no note or settings to achieve the same behavior in release 46C. I know that the download happens in function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.

However this seems to be a general change of the functionality in release ERP2005. So the behavior you are facing in release 46C means to be the standard.

Maybe a solution would be to implement a special folder check with BADI DOCUMENT_FILES01 and method BEFORE_START_APPL. Here you can call the following GUI method:

'cl_gui_frontend_services=>GET_UPLOAD_DOWNLOAD_PATH'

Best regards,
