how to customize the link between archivelink and Alfresco

[former_member194797]

hi,

We are using Alfresco as content manager and we want to scan the invoices according to the "Late Storage with Bar Codes in FI" scenario [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/46/c4317ffc4b11d195650000e82deb58/frameset.htm].

Each scanned invoice will be stored in Alfresco as a pdf file and we want to be able to display it from the sap 'display FI document' transaction (thru 'environment' menu / Additional assignments/object links).

my question is how to make the bridge between sap archivelink and Alfresco for this display ?

how to customize link between archivelink and Alfresco ? Is it possible with customizing only or is it necessary to buy third party software ?

we are working in 4.7.

I found some tips about REST based API: [;.

Does anybody have a step by step documentation for the implementation of such a solution for the SAP to Alfresco interface ?

Hi Henry ,

On my project I am facing similar requirement of integrating SAP DMS with Alfresco.

Can you please guide me on this.

Best regards ,

Hi Shrikrishna,

unfortunately, the solution was implemented by a consultant and I have no access to the program. I'm seeing it as a black box. I only know that our implementation doesn't follow the tips above, and is not standard. Eventually open a new thread with your own requirements.

So it seems necessary to buy a connector for the link between archivelink and Alfresco. I know there are at least 2 solutions: CTAC and Fme. Does anybody have some experience with one of these solutions ? What are the differences between the 2 solutions ?

Hi,

Apparently you need an interface between SAP and Alfresco that implements SAP archivelink.

Once that is in place you can configure a repository in OAC0.

At the link below you find a link to a PDF

Our company had an own content repository software. It used KGS SAPALINK to make the connection with SAP.

Furthermore CTAC seems to have done development to connect SAP and Alfresco.

Currently we are looking for a new repository system as well. A couple of weeks ago management decided that within some departments Alfresco will be the standard DMS. It would be great if we could use it as content server as well.

Kind Regards

I suppose I have to enter parameters in transaction OAC0, but I don't know where to find the parameters for accessing Alfresco.
