Retrieving Original file content & Using KPro

568 Views

hi All,

We are in need of being able to display the images attached to a DIR in a custom developed report. I figured we will only be able to retrieve the 'Original file content' (Ex: JPG, GIF), from the DataBlock (ORBLK) field used in DRAO table. Please correct me if I am wrong.

However, the issue here is - It seems we can take advantage of the DataBlock field only if 'KPro' is not selected for a Document type, which in-turn stores the documents in SAP DB and NOT in a storage category.

But, the client wants to be able to use a separate DMS Content server to store the documents which is possible only using the 'KPro' check for the document type & Create a Storage category.

Q-1): Any suggestion on how to retrieve the 'Original file content' (Ex: JPG, GIF) even while using 'KPro' and thus benefiting the provision of Storage Category?

Q-2) Any Max. Storage limit on SAP DB if we go with option of Storing the Documents without KPro (this will solve One purpose - retrieving Original file content)?. I remember reading somewhere that SAP recommends not storing more than 100000 files in DB if we are using SAP DB as storage category.

Please suggest.

-Thanks
