Hi,

You can use SAP DMS standard T-code for Create, change and display document.

T-code CV01N -create document

           CV02N change document

          CV03N Display Document.

You need to configure Document Type using DC10 in that you can tick chekbox Use KPRO : its is stored at Content Server.

After installation of SAP CS you need to configure Content repository and Content Categories for document storage.both are belongs to SAP content Server.

After that you can create document using CV01N and store document into SAP CS.

if you have any query please tell us!!

Thanks,

Dipak.

HI,

Thanks for your replies once again. A|nyways, one more thing I want to know is that, while storing a file(pdf) to local machine programatically we give the file path and store it, and to retrieve the file from local machine programatically we use the same filepath. Now in content server from where can I get the file name to store the file?

Regards,

Megh.

Hi Megh.

There is no need to give file path in configuration because you have used SAP CS with Maxdb database. so in SAP CS file will be saved in compressed and binary format. SAP CS can manage internally.

You just need to create Content Repo. and Category.

when you create document just stored at Content Categories.

Try one thing you just create document using CV01N then you will get idea.

where to store and how to get document?

Thanks.

Hi,

What are the datas needed to passed in cv01n.

[dipak_khatavkar]

Hi Megh,

You need to create first document type, it will use in Document creation process.

otherwise goto DC10 and pick up one any document type and test it.

so please refer above link for document type creation.

Thanks.

hi...

will it be possible using DC20 because there I found a field where we can put external server link. Please reply.

[dipak_khatavkar]

Hi Megh.

First You need to decide where you want to store the document either SAP Content Server or SAP Database or Vault etc.

You will use Content Server for storage.

So as per my understanding their is no need to do any configuration in tocde DC20, this tocde will use if document store into the Vault.

You must create Document Type for document creation. Document type is part of Document key to use categorized document.

If you have any query, please let me know.

Thanks.
