Records Management - Custom Attributes

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I've created a Document Service provider in SRMREGEDIT in my RMS_ID. I archive the created documents with ORGANIZER in Documentum Archive Server.

I have added a custom attribute to my Document type:

1.- I want this custom attribute appears in ORGANIZER in the search window, so I can search the documents thru my custom attribute. How I can do this?

2.- I also want to save my custom attribute in Documentum as attribute. How can I save SAP attributes in Documentum?

Thanks in advance,

Regards.

Hi Urtzi,

for custom attributs you need to create a Content Model (Customizing IMG). The Content Model description needs to be in the connection parameter values of your element typ Document. Then you have to customize your attributes in the dmwb (document modelling workbench), you should find your content model under the entity SRM, there you need to look for your content model id in documents, take the virtual class marked with "V" in the PHIO and LOIO classes, in the instance attribs you can finally customize your attributes by clicking the button "more". You have to hide all attributes you don´t need except SRM_DOCUMENT_ID. If you want to add own attributes you need to add them under IO-attributes first. When you restart your electronic desk now you should see the attributes you customized in the document and you are also able to search for these attributes now.

You save these attributes for your documents by writing the Content Model ID into the connection parameter values (Document_Class) of your element typ Document. If you have different Documents that need different attributes you need to create a new Content Model.

Hope that helps!

Hi

Just to add or correct what Cornelia have just said. When creating content models i recomend you to use tx code srmcmcreate as creating content in img is not recommended because we tried to do that and experinced a lot of problems afterwards. It was only after using the tx code srmcmcreate that everything fell into place.

Hi Cornelia

In fileplan, I selected a class and went to lock class, and suddenlty the whole fileplan became corrupted in that when you go into change mode, I get short dumps. When going into other fileplan, there is no problem. The other thing is that the function “class lock” and class “unlock” is not active. you help will be highly apreciated

Hi Urtzi,

This doesn't sound like a workflow related question to me. The problem is I don't think there is a Records management forum yet so I couldn't tell you where to post your question.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply. As you say, I didn't find any specific forum for Recordset Management...

Where can I find help?

Thanks and Regards.

You could try one of the ABAP forums, but I am not sure if they could help. I think you need to be lucky enough that the right person reads your post.
