Hi PM experts,

Through object service option as we do not have DMS, I am trying to attach drawings to equipment master through BDC.I am able to record by t-code SHDB but while processing the recording . the "create attachement" step is not coming .So our ABAP er could prepare BDC.I have around 2000 equipment & for each equipment I need to attach drawings.Can anybody pl suggest how to upload the same.Thanks in advance,

Hi

I am not sure abt BDU...

Have u checked Services of the object... it dosen't require DMS. After saving ur equipment...

In the equipment header - Change Equipment - Header (Title of the Page)

towards the left u have a option... services of the object...

So u can maintain the docs, notes, photos there... Check it out

Hi Pithan,

Just curious about attaching pic to the equipment master. When we attach pic, will the pic size be compressed? Because i am worry whether the uploaded file will affect system performance? How do we know where is the pic stored?

Is it recommended to attach pic? Kindly advise. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Celine

Hi

The pic will not be compressed. It will be as shown... speak with ur basis and abap people for the storage size and how it affects the current system

I dont think it will slow down the system... but it will be added as an additional storage...

It will be in the database...

its an additional functionality... some clients recommend this type of activity...

Hi Celine,

 whether the uploaded file will affect system performance? How do we know where is the pic stored?

Certainly there will be some effect on the system performace (still it depends on the hardware configuration) may not be right now, but may be in future as the attachements keeps on adding..

And more over these files will not store in a proper manner in the SAP application server. These files mostly will be storing in SAP work location directory. The major effect of this would, while taking back up of the SAP system these files may not be including in the back up process, which could be a serious concern.

You can check with your BASIS guy for taking theback up of these files as in the case of RK log back up which is taken seperately after the SAP data back up.

Better to analyse this with the help of your technical team before you proceed further with this functionality.

Hello,

If during recording IE02 with attachment option fails. Try following menupath to make attachment to EQUIPMENT object.

SAP menu -> Office -> Business Documents -> OAOR - Find

Class name : EQUI

Class type : BO

Object key : Equipment Number.

Select Document create & Standard document types.
