Hi, Janos

I extremely sory for delay, i have created test environment and run report " OAFAMIG " with new HTTP repository. But after long time all the files appear with "CAN'T OPEN"  Comments.

So it is decided to make a program through which we will assign that PDF to corresponding persons's numbers. its more then 20000 PDF's.

I appreciate your efforts to resolve that issue.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Arshad,

how have you stored the PDF files exactly? Are you using GOS, ArchiveLink, or other DMS solution?

What is the exact detailed error message?

Hi, Janos

First of all i would like to thank you.

Yes i used ArchiveLink and when we try to open PDF system appears " Repository FI has wronge type 08 operation cannot be performed "

Thanks & Regards,

okay, then please check the configuration in OAC0 for FI repository. Value 08 for "FILE archive" is not supported in ArchiveLink. Please refer to note 653774 for more info.

You can use HTTP, RFC or SAP System Database type.

Hi Janos

We are not used HTTP, RFC or SAP System Database. We were used ArchiveLink and stored pdf's over the same unix machine and path was directed in OAC0 and in File.

Is there any way to retrieve these PDF's.

Thanks & Regards,

Arshad

Hi Arshad,

In OAC0 you can define different type for the content repository. Previously you could have:

• HTTP
• RFC
• SAP System Database
• FILE archive

According to note 653774 starting from Basis Release 6.10 the "FILE archive "type have been eliminated.

Accoring to note 653774 you have to migrate these documents using report OAFAMIG to another content repository defined in OAC0 which is now have one of the supported types:

• HTTP
• RFC
• SAP System Database

I hope this now helps you to understand that what you have to do in order to be able to acces those files.

Best regards,

Janos
