Documents archiving in SAP CE 7.3

[Former Member]

Hello

We are working on CE 7.3.

We have developed several bpm, almost all made with Visual Composer. Now the client wants to attach a document from a user interface (WD Java or VC) in one step of the bpm.

And later he wants to consult the file once the process is in progress or completed through filters. these filters will be business fields. for example user code, department..etc. I think it will be any context data.

and now the questions;

Do you know if we can do this without a document manager ? for example sharepoint, documentum..etc

Do you know if SAP CE gives us the ability to save files for this purpose?

if we can save them in SAP CE as we would do a wd java?, where in the documents are stored and the others data ?

Note; we don´t have SAP PI to save in SAP ERP

Thanks for reading this.

you can store the documents in ECM, which is provided by default in CE.

the default attachment function provided by BPM stores the attachment in ECM also.

search this doc in sdn. it explains everything.

thank you very much john, the document has been helpful.

only one question to begin to develop.

I will make a form with VC, this form will start the process and in this form I will use the default attachment function as you say.

the question is how I this document to associate context data (department, user, etc. ..)

because later I will make a Web Dynpro will be out of the process to search for documents that have uploaded by sales department from day 1 to day 15.

I don´t know if I explain

thanks

John write me later:

Hi Carlos,

it seems the ecm didn't provide the api for search.

you can create folder for each department and retrieve the files under

the folder.

loop in the files list and get the one matching the criteria.

Best regards,

John
