of course you can add your topics to EasyDMS. To create a new page just click on 'Add Page'. The new page will be opened and you can enter your information and title. To link this page to the DMS start page you just have to add the lable 'dms_eui'. Then the system will link your new page to the DMS start page and put it to the EasyDMS section.
You will find the 'Edit' button for labels in the top area of the new page.
Best regards,
Christoph

We are a Professional Services company and we are trying to implement DMS for storing projects documentation under cprojects. We have decided to use an external file server for storing documents.
I know there are some customizing steps to configure correctly DMS (SPRO). My question is, what kind of RFC Destination must be setup for Display and Maintenance Destination in "Define Document Area" step? I can guess that a TCP RFC, but to wich program it must be pointing?
I have many others questions but please, help me with this one by now .
Thanks a lot,
Erick Acosta

thanks for this question. As far as I know the SAPHTTP connection could be used for such a behavior. However I'm not the RFC expert. I would kindly ask you to post your question also in the SDN Forum for DMS. Here are a lot of DMS experts and they will surely help you to answer this question.
Best regards,

I'm working on a SAP project of DMS management with EasyDMS.
I've read that the requirements for the EastDMS 7.0 are the PLM Web User Interface, it means than the Company should upgrade the System with the Support Package 4, correct? This requirement is needed also with the EasyDMS version 6.0? and previous?
May be is possible to do a puntual SAP OSS note installation?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support.
Kind Regards,

from my experience I can inform you that EasyDMS 7.0 works also fine with release ERP2005 and ERP2004 and it is not mandatory to upgrade your system to Enhancement Package 4. For more general information on EasyDMS 7.0 please see also the SAP note 1276709 (FAQs). I would recommend you to install the latest support package version of EasyDMS 7.0 which is SP04 (see note 1374633). Additionally you can also post your questions on DMS and EasyDMS in the SDN forum too.
Best regards,
Christoph

I've made the DMS Settings, installed the EasyDMS-SP04, created public and private folders, but if I try to create/copy a document with EasyDMS an error occurs: "Item category D not defined"; I havent found any "Help" for the EasyDMS (something similar exists?) I hypothesised than could be due to the Business Function PLMU/WEB_UI missing.. What do you think about?
Thanks again for your assistance!!

this error message indicates to me that there is maybe some problem with the settings for document BOM. Because the folder structure in EasyDMS is just a document BOM in the backend system and here item category D is used for documents. So I think this is maybe a BOM related question.
However such questions should be posted in the DMS forum under http://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=282 and not as comment to this page.
Best regards,

Just wanted to share some information on SAP Document Management.
Document Management in SAP for an end user means Document Key, constructed with unique Document numbering, Document type, Document Version. Document is further enriched by maintaining attribute meta-data like classification, authorizations and placing them in secure vaults. Maturity of Document could be managed by various Document Statuses which could trigger events for workflow based collaboration across departments like engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, sourcing etc.
One of the best kept secrets of SAP is the ability to directly integrate bi-directionally with Multi CAD software's available in the market like CATIA, ProE, UG NX, AutoCAD and more with SAP DMS. These integrations provide out of the box value added capabilities like enriching Title Block, Redlining, Conversion to neutral files etc. The above solution is realized by Engineering Desktop which is built on top of SAP DMS.
SAP has mature and robust Document management and CAD integration which is now further improved in conjunction with PLM roadmap in PLM 7.0 to include TREX based indexing for fast search results in Web based UI.
Read more on What's New in SAP Document Management which includes the new Web based UI, New Engineering Desktop, Product Visualization capabilities, enhanced and even stronger authorization concepts and SAP Easy Document Management 7.0.
