BW Document repository usage for Queries

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We aim to use the BW 'document' functionality to link traing web sites and documentation (based on web server) to InfoObjects.

After prototyping on our 3.5 system the following questions came up:

1. Document can be linked to meta-, master data and Infoproviders. When activating all 3 display options in the BEx Query properties where can the Infoprovider related documents be seen and accessed? The other 2 document types create a symbol next to the InfoObject!

2. Various types of docuemnts can be linked (Word, PDF, etc.) in case you want to simply want to link a URL how does this work?

3. Who implemented a similar concept and how did you set it up (which of the 3 document types above where used)?

What were your learnings and Best Practices?

Thanks for all feedback,

Markus

1) Metadata - have to get it using document web item. Transaction data will have links appear against the key figures when there is a document matching the charactersitics in display.

2) URLs also have to be linked in documents or as text in a nromal text document.

3) If a user has access to documents, they have all access. It is not possible to control what docs a user can change. Potentially, any user can go in and change document created by any other user.

Also, I don't there is functionality to upload documents through the web.
