Hi,

Knowing Sharepoint 2003 is not able to act as DMS content server.

Does any know if the new Sharepoint 2007 has this function to act as DMS content server?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ronald

Hi Espen,

iam also coming across the same requirement where in client is already using SharePoint as a common document Managing software,

in your Case as You have solved the Problem, did you buy a new server and installed content servewr in it, and integrate it to Share Point server?

or did you use the Same existing share point server to install content server on it,

i guess in that case there will be duplication of all the Original files,

one, the original file is Available in the Share Point server. and Secondly, the same original file is checked in into the storage catagories if the same share Point server is defined as Storage medium for SAP DMS, ie same Share Point server acting as Content or Archive server.

please help me in Understanding the things clear iam little bit confused,

Alternatively to access the Documents in the Share Point server and Store the same original File in the Content server (or it can be the same SharePoint Server acting as Content server(installing the content server CD on the Share Point server)). can we go to create 2 Datacarrier and Datacarrier types,

one to Bring the original document from the share point server to the DeskTop of the User.

second to check in the Same document through SAP transaction CV01N, here again should we define another Data Carrier and Data Carrier type, (like the share Point server or Content server used again to check in the original Through SAP DMS CV01N,

iam confused as i have only worked on storing external files which is in the Frontend system in to an Content server only,

Points for Sure,

Thanks in Advance,

Shanti,

The customer used a separate server for the content server. You could potentially use a virtual machine, but i have not tried it.

The user in SAP only sees the system as a normal system with a content server, and hence the normal setup with only one data carrier is enough. Remember that from your SAP side, you dont see anything outside normal - you see a content server and that is all.

Hi guys,

There is a third way, where you end up using Sharepoint as your content server

1. COnfigure a content server to use file storage

2. COnfigure the file area for webdav

3. The webdav is the sharepoint webdav

Voila, you are using sharepoint as your content server.

Why the heck you would do that is beyond me, but it works.

Take a look here: [http://www.microsoft.com/isv/sap/technology/interop/sharepoint.aspx]

For example, portal components, referred to as portlets, created for SAPu2019s Enterprise Portal

can work with MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint System 2007) when shared between the portals using a

compatible standard such as WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets).

Portlets can also be shared when an implementation not based on industry standards is used, such

as the Microsoft iView Web part toolkit or the SAP URL iView.

Portlets for SAP are generally referred to as iViews, and portlets for MOSS are generally referred to as Web parts.

...is there a "best practise" to intergrate SAP DMS & Sharepoint 2007 ?

Former Member

No.

Just existing landscape had heavy use of Sharepoint storing all sort of documents, and there is a need to link to SAP's object such as raw materials for it's specification, finished goods for it's design document, purchase orders for it's hardcopy and et cetera.

....somewhere I read about integrating SAP KM and Sharepoint....can that solve anything ?

There is no best practice. There are also no decent portal views in the SAP portal to work from so you'd be stuck creating these from scratch.
