Storing drawings into digital archives is a goal for many companies, which have to ensure that documents can be filed and accessed in an economic and efficient way. At the same time, there is a need to introduce new and improved forms of organization of these drawings.
The Task – The Tools
This task can be solved in an elegant way within the framework of the TM mySAP PLM functionality. The following modules are required to implement a system of this type:
the SAP document management system (DMS) a mass storage system a display tool (viewer) TM the print/repro system system (PLOSSYS )
These modules are presented in the following sections:
The SAP DMS The document management system (DMS) is part of the base system R/3. It is the essential component of drawing and document management. In the DMS the drawing master data (Meta Data) is entered as document information records. Apart from the basic data such as type of document, document number, version, and sheet numbers, other data such as designation and authorization groups can be entered. Via the classification system, additional configurable data can be defined and entered.
Figure 1:
DMS – The Essential Component
Classification characteristics can be added to the document information record.
5
For each document information record two original files can be stored. The original files are objects, which are stored in a mass storage system. They are accessed via DMS functions. One can differentiate between application data and digital paper using these two files.
Application Data
Typical examples of application files are CAD models such as .DWG files from AutoCAD or .DOC files from Microsoft Word. These files are used for further processing with the respective application.
Digital Paper
In many cases a digital paper format is stored as a second original file. Typical examples of this format are the data types TIFF/G4 or PDF. With this format an object type is available which can be displayed at every workstation, independent of whether the original application has been installed. These formats also form the basis for the production of documents; i.e., the printing. The digital paper format is created through a scan process or the conversion of application data (files).
Integration
The DMS has a powerful status management, and the document information records can be linked to other SAP objects such as material master records. Thus it is possible to directly access related documents from many SAP transactions, for example, in order to display or print the documents.
The Mass Storage System Objects managed by the DMS can be stored in different ways:
Storing of DMS Objects
1. In the SAP database: this method is rather unsuitable for digitized digitized drawings, as in many cases the files have sizes far greater than 50 KB. 2. In a local file system: users who have access to the local local file system system can only access these files. Thus this storage method is not suitable for organization-wide solutions. 3. On a file server: all the users who have an authorization authorization for the file server can access these files. In order not to influence the consistency of the system, the DMS files on the file server should not be changed or shifted to another storage location by means of other applications.
SAP Electronic Vault
6
4.
In the SAP SAP electronic vault: This is a storage area protected and managed by the SAP system. Users have no direct access to these files. If an electronic vault contains many objects (> 50,000), access times may become longer. Thus in this case it is recommended, that several SAP electronic vaults be created and used.
5. In an ArchiveLink-compatible ArchiveLink-compatible storage system: This is a mass storage system of various technologies (optical, magnetic, hierarchical storage systems, juke boxes, etc.) that is operated via a standard interface (ArchiveLink). There are many suppliers who offer ArchiveLink-compatible storage solutions. 6. New from Release 4.5: SAP offers the Content Management Service (CMS), an extension of existing file capabilities for documents administered in DMS. The Content and Cache Server are items of the CMS for filing and keeping documents during distributed data retention.
New with 4.5: Content Management Service (CMS), Content and Cache Server
7. New from Release 4.6: The SAP SAP Knowledge Knowledge Provider (KPRO) (KPRO) supplies an infrastructure permitting mining of documents for non-standard needs. KPRO stands as a new and different solution and has components for document administration (DMS) within its new features, in particular the disposal of documents. The past restriction of two original files per document information record is removed. Additional Additional services e.g. full text search round out the new features in KPRO.
New with 4.6: Knowledge Provider (KPRO)
Thus choosing the suitable storage system is not always easy, and there are no general recommendations; but some considerations may help in making a good choice:
Choosing the Storage System
•
If there are only few files, or the archives are filled slowly, the file server solution may be a suitable solution to start with.
•
The SAP electronic vault is a better-protected solution for medium amounts of data (files). The files are stored on standard hard disks, that are integrated into the backup system of the organization.
•
If additional safety on optical carriers is an important factor, then ArchiveLink or a content server with storage management is the first choice. This also applies to cases where commercial documents, lists of parts, or correspondence are to be stored in addition to technical documents.
It should be ensured that technical documents are not stored together with other types of documents (e.g. delivery notes, commercial documents) on the same medium, as the life and access cycles are very different. It is better to build up separate archives. For a high-performance IT architecture, it is advantageous, if the mass storage allows a direct transport and, for authorized applications, access to the objects via standard interfaces, thus ensuring a short transmission time and a low network load. File server processes, the SAP electronic vault, and some ArchivLink systems have appropriate interfaces to support this architecture.
7
The Viewer Application files (data) are displayed and processed with the respective application. The digital paper stored as "File 2" is displayed by means of a viewer. These products are available from many different vendors and for all operating systems.
Figure 2: Imagenation – a leading viewer product For PDF a widely used display tool is the royalty r oyalty-free -free Acrobat Reader.
Various Options for Displaying Documents
For TIFF/G4 some operating systems include a standard tool (e.g. HP-UX or 2000 and NT). Other viewers offer higher speeds and more convenience of operation. The best-known viewers are products such as Spicer Imagenation, Rosetta, or AutoVue. In many cases good viewers may be able to read many formats, and in some cases can also be used to view application files. With the viewer one can print single copies of a document or parts of a document via the local print system. From Release 4.6 a Multi Multi Format Viewer Viewer is included included as a standard module from R/3 with which many 2D and 3D Formats including the wide-spread Raster Format may be viewed.
Status Stamp With Printing From the Viewer
8
For the Spicer Imagenation viewer SEAL Systems offers an interesting accessory: with the printing from the viewer, the DMS View module ensures that configurable data from the document information record (e.g. status, title, authorized person, etc.) are placed on the printout as a stamp. Thus print time, origin and status of a printout are visible more clearly, and document management becomes more transparent.
There is an alternative to this for PDF and the SAP standard viewer, the DMS View method “stamp-before-view”. In this case the displayed data, before starting the visualization program, will be stamped with the requested Meta Data.
Print/Repro System PLOSSYSTM netdome In most cases the single print from the viewer is not enough for productive organizational processes. In many cases of application (manufacture, purchase, process planning, quality management, etc.) batches of documents have to be made available as bundles sorted according to the requirements of the recepient in a fast and TM reliable way. In these cases PLOSSYS netdome with the related DMS integration modules is very useful. TM
This solution is based on the PLOSSYS server. This process serves, among other things, converts the DMS objects into output formats. Thus all the printers and plotters within the organization can be used for the output of TM documents. PLOSSYS netdome also serves to place stamps and labels on the output documents, to create banner and end pages with sets of documents, and to direct the output to the terminals. Comprehensive print operating functions make the system operation easier.

PAD (print job
Figure 3: PAD – the print job dialog
DMS Information is Transferred
With the push of a button the original documents are transferred to the PAD. There, the objects can be collected, sorted, and sent off for printing. All the output parameters commonly used with technical documents can be set (e.g. selection of device, scaling, type of paper, selection of a folding program, number of copies for sets and single outputs). The DMS plot integration module ensures that important document information record data (Meta Data) is automatically transferred from the DMS. Thus the document number and title can be used for margin printing. It is also possible to stamp the document status on the output document. TM
The PLOSSYS PAD is implemented in client/server architecture and is available for all SAP GUI platforms. Due to the multi-server capability also remote locations are supportable; where jobs can be traced and administered by the sender.
10
Application example 2: Digital document management with high-performance search and action functions, creation and automated processing of repro lists TM
The PLOSSYS subsystem DMS Repro consists of two base components: a repro list processor for the automated processing of document lists for reproduction as well as a platform in client/server architecture for creating and processing repro lists. By means of this system, the DMS data store can be searched in a very convenient way. Lists of found matches are arranged to form work lists. Recipient data (destination printer/plotter, scaling, number of copies, cost center, etc.) can be defined in a database and called up.
Search in the DMS Data Stock
Hit lists are arranged similar to document lists. Within the SAP transactions from SEAL Systems, the document parts list structures can be navigated. Individual documents which can be output can be marked and provided with non-standard parameters (Copy Number, Scaling Factor, Stamps, etc. ) for reproduction. Distributor data (Requested Printer, Scaling Factor, Copy Copy Number, Cost Code, etc.) can be defined and directed from a Data Base. Three new SAP objects are used: Output job, document list, and recipient list. Within the SAP transaction, different print job methods, for different processing purposes and user groups can be defined. Also the behavior of the transaction by comment or error messages determines the adjustment of the print job method apart from the processing process (Scan-on-demand or Omission page generation) of the Output Servers.
11
Figure 4: DMS Repro
Automatic Repro List Processing
The DMS Repro system recognizes in interactive and batch processing whether there are DMS entries matching a search and whether there are original files for the entries, and can react accordingly: with missing documents one can select whether omission sheets are to be inserted in the output batch, or whether a scan list is created. The scan list can be called up from the DMS Repro scan list client . The request is linked with the scan result, the result is entered and checked into the DMS, and additionally the repro job is completed.
12
In this way digital drawing archives can be built up very conveniently through demand-controlled scan processes (Scan-on-Demand). Even with a DMS only partly filled the user can order and, at the same time, acquire all the required documents.
Scan-on-Demand
Also with an only “part-filled” DMS, all necessary documents with DMS reproduction can be ordered and entered directly by the users.
Figure 5: Scan list client TM
Of course, PLOSSYS repro lists may also be created from other SAP processes. In this way and through the very flexible standard format RLI, for example, integrated process chains for providing job-related documents automatically can be implemented very quickly.
Repro Lists
The BAPI-Library adds extensive functions to the program controlled generation of reproduction order lists. For different processes within SAP, e.g. production orders, maintenance jobs, orders, documentation creation etc., the necessary documents can be supplied from the DMS directly, using familiar SAP items and structures, by function call and collected together.
Customer Specific Solutions and Adjustments
Output jobs can be arranged in such a way, regardless of process-referral and decoupled by the necessary preparation and processing methods of the external data formats. Within the SAP transactions, the output jobs produced from programs are viewable and can be revised and changed, interactively, interactively, if necessary. After the print assignment, the updated status of the output progress of the document is available.
13
Application example 3: Distribution output TM
SAP R/3 from version 4.5 on offers the opportunity of configuring a document control by defining distributors. TM

Distributor Lists
TM
By means of the PLOSSYS module DMS Distribution Output the output type "Printing/Plotting" of the SAP document distribution is mapped onto the TM standard PLOSSYS set output. Recipient-related output bundles are printed and distributed throughout the organization, complete with banner and end pages. TM
TM
For SAP R/3 installations prior to release 4.5 the PLOSSYS DMS Repro system offers the feature to define and use distributor lists as well.
Figure 6: Distribution output TM
So: PLOSSYS is the right solution, from the interactive print job creation from SAP transactions, the creation and processing of reproduction jobs, the processing of of scan lists, and to the complex distribution distribution of prints.
14
Application example 4: Structure output With object shortcuts, documents, bills of material and PSP elements can be accessed. This enables automatic identification of all documents belonging to an assembly.
all documents to a single bill of material
SEAL Systems developed standard modules for this purpose:
Figure 7: Document selection for a material or PSP element
Adjustable filter options for bills of material and document selections cover the standard requirements. The advantages of this integrated PLM system solution expands the profitability and efficiency of SEAL Systems modules.
15
Application example 5: Complete procedure oriented output SAP script output and documents combined
For many business methods, the various document assemblies from the DMS, consist mainly of of print processes that are handled through the SAP Spool system. SEAL Systems offers standard solutions for often repeated business processes:
Manufacturing jobs Procurement Maintenance jobs

complete and in the correct order
16
The distribution of text and graphic information occurs through the TM PLOSSYS Output Manager netdome in the correct order – naturally with all directional information like status, job number, etc… This ensures procedure reliability, profitiability and efficiency through saving time and eliminating any sorting work.
Longterm data conversion services 1.
Format Converters If original files are to be converted into digital paper in the course of loading and release processes: Format converters from SEAL Systems do the job. For all common graphic formats, like HPGL, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, CGM, C907, BMP and more, an input and output filter is available.
Tools For Any Case
Additionally there are Application converters for converting Word, Excel, Framemaker, and more files into digital paper, if desired, with automatic stamping during the conversion process. By means of SEAL tools, multi-page documents can also be decollated, or single sheets can be combined, to form a multi-page document.
2.
DMS Convert For PLM projects, SEAL Systems offers within the modules DMS Convert and DMS Convert RFC, complete procedure chains for simple integration in release and conversion processes.
Tested Procedure Chains
Office and CAD DATA are checked-in automatically after an adjustable final user internal message, converted into a digital paper format such as TIFF or PDF, and then securely checked-in again into SAP. Starting from R/3 Release 4.6c, there are new SAP transactions. The SEAL Systems product DMS Convert RFC is the necessary conversion tool.
3.
DMS Loader The initial loading of DMS-based drawing archives typically comprises a conversion of the active released CAD data store into a digital paper format and a subsequent mass check-in into the DMS and the mass storage system. Additionally scan results from digitization processes are linked with the DMS and stored in the storage system.
Check-in With DMS Loader
TM
The PLOSSYS module DMS Loader provides this service via the standard SAP CAD interface.

Figure 9: DMS Loader – the monitor A monitor program in client/server technology helps to monitor and control this process. The SEAL Systems DVS Loader is available on all server versions and now, new: DVS Lader/ABAP Lader/ABAP a an SAP transaction. The process is faster and more secure. Many procedures are adjustable through customizing: Object links, DVS data, classification data, ... The DMS loader is an ideal tool for all asynchronous check-in processes into the DMS. Also status changes and release processes can be implemented fast and securely. A possible alternative is the SAP Batch Input: Starting from Version 4.5, files can utilize this procedure to be checked-in.
18
Conclusion: It is very easy to build up digital drawing/document archives with SAP PLM Modules For Every Purpose
With standard modules all the functions required for building up and operating digital drawing/document archives can be implemented: master data management image storage in mass storage load phases scan-on-demand services release processes organization-wide organization-wide visualization automated providing of documents digital plot/repro services processing of distribution lists
By means of these features all the economic and operative advantages of the digital drawing archiving can be solved quickly within the framework of an SAP TM R/3 project. Additionally the whole SAP PLM functionality is available for the drawing and document store managed now: classification, change service, workflow, project system, variant configuration, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions Question: Why should digital paper be created and stored at all? We can also print directly from the applications! Advantages of Digital Paper
Answer: That is correct, but in many cases the printouts from application programs depend on the version and the configuration, i.e. prints may have a different appearance from workstation to workstation. Character sets that are available and printer types influence the appearance in the same way as, for example, pen tables with line width and color assignments. Additionally application formats are not suitable for long-term storage, as older files can no longer be interpreted properly by new program versions. Therefore an additional "permanent" storage as digital paper is very useful. Question: Is the DMS division in File 1 = application format (e.g. DWG) and File 2 = digital paper (e.g. TIFF) obligatory?
DMS Division File 1 / File 2
Answer: No, but this logic has been proven in projects. Both original original files are assigned to a document information record and can be called up either with the original application or with a viewer. If there is only a TIFF format after a scanning operation, there is no assignment to File 1. New with with 4.6c: The restriction of 2 files is removed. Thus virtually many desired versions and representations of an object can be stored. All TM PLOSSYS DMS integrations support this new file form using BAPI Interface technology. Question: Why are data from the document information record stamped on the drawing when it is output?
Various Advantages of the Stamping
20
Answer: In this way the release process or document status mapped in the SAP DMS can be indicated. By stamping or margin printing the following things are clearly visible: Who has released this document? When has the document been released? Has this drawing been applicable at the time of output? TM By the way, PLOSSYS stamps can be configured in many different ways: They may contain dynamic texts or graphic elements. Position, font, rotation and size can be set. There are two appearances, transparent and opaque stamps. Equally consecutive Water Marks are possible. Stamping means: ISO 9000 compatible Document Steering.
Question: When will a file be checked in as digital paper e.g. in the TIFF format for a DMS information record? Answer: For example after a scanning operation. By means of the DMS function "Create Document" the master data can be entered and the file can be checked in. With the help of the DMS repro scan list client it is also possible to initiate a check-in. Or a release workflow is initiated by a change of the document status. The TM original file stored as File 1 is converted by PLOSSYS processes in the background and is checked-in as File 2 in the TIFF format.
DMS Repro Scan List Client
TM
Question: On what platforms is PLOSSYS available? Answer: NT/2000, HP-UX, IBM AIX, SUN Solaris, Solaris, SGI IRIX and Digital Digital UNIX. Browser-capable JAVA platforms are being prepared. TM By the way, PLOSSYS has a licensing procedure that is independent of the number of possible or actual users. This makes the distribution of introduced processes easier and investments controllable.

Question: What printers and plotters does PLOSSYS address? Answer: All commercial large-size plotters with one or several rolls. All common A3/A4 office printers are also supported, as well as special devices (electrostatic plotters, microfilm card plotters, 60“ plotters, plus more). TM Folding devices of all suppliers are controlled by PLOSSYS .

Question: Can I use PLOSSYS also without SAP DMS? TM
TM
Answer: Of course, PLOSSYS and PLOSSYS PAD can also be used for direct CAD plots and for output repro services from other archives and storage systems. However, only with the SAP PDM the integrated linking of engineering and logistics data is possible.
PLOSSYS DMS?
Question: Can the layout of the banner pages be configured with the TM PLOSSYS set processing? Answer: Yes. With sets of drawings containing many drawings the banner page may also consist of several pages (list of contents). In this case the TM pages are numbered by PLOSSYS . A banner page may also contain graphic elements such as a customer logo.
Banner Pages With the PLOSSYS Set Processing
TM
Question: How do I create a PLOSSYS repro list? Answer: Firstly, interactively through DMS Repro’s GUI. Secondly, each application can create an appropriate list in the ASCII format and transfer it to the repro list processor for automatic processing. This application may be embedded in an SAP process (e.g. ABAP), but may also be realized by a program not integrated in the SAP system. The RLI-Format is documented

and supports a complete document and output control including distribution lists. As the third procedure we offer the integrated DMS Repro BAPI Interface. Thus all objects and functions of the DMS reproduction transactions can be addressed. This is the ideal integration interface for any ABAP Supplements. In the SAP environment, however, the database for the repro list is always the DMS and the objects managed by the DMS (original files).
Question: Do I absolutely need the DMS View module from SEAL Systems, in order to integrate a viewer into the DMS? Viewer
Answer: No, a standard viewer can be easily configured configured into the DMS. DMS View is always useful in cases in which the stamping of document information record data is to be forced, when printing from the viewer. At present DMS View only interworks with the product Spicer Imagenation. Question: Why does SEAL Systems documents and commercial documents?
Technical and Commercial Documents
differentiate
between
technical
Answer: Typically technical documents are drawings, specifications, regulations, etc. They are produced in relatively small numbers (output of an engineering department). There is often random access to new and old documents (manufacture, purchase, repair, spare part, reuse). The representation, i.e. the printing of these documents, is an important process. Commercial documents are, for example, incoming invoices and delivery notes. A company daily receives documents of this kind in large numbers. These documents are, for example, scanned, and then used and processed in the course of a workflow for a short period of time. After the process has been completed, the document is stored. It is needed again only very rarely. Commercial documents in this sense are subject to commercial law and in many cases consist of only one or two pages. Technical documents as a result of engineering processes are subject to the civil law and have formats from A4 to A0 and excessive lengths. Specifications, regulations and manuals are often many pages long. Question: TIFF/G4 or PDF?
Advantages and Disadvantages of TIFF/G4 and PDF
Answer: As you like; TIFF/G4 is the de facto standard for digital digital paper in the field of technical drawings. The format CALS Type 1 is equal, but it is rarely used in Europe. Both types are raster formats, compressed without loss and monochrome; multi-page documents are possible. PDF can represent color and monochrome information. Text remains text, vectors remain vectors and raster remains raster. With PDF there are different compression methods. For large formats (> 45“) not all Adobe Acrobat tools TM are suitable. Therefore PLOSSYS uses a permissible trick here, in order to make PDF an acceptable format in this field as well. Text documents consisting of many pages are much more compact as a PDF file than a corresponding TIFF/G4 file.
22
Question: Is it also possible to manage documentations and manuals by means of SAP DMS? Answer: Yes, for this purpose especially the SAP document list is useful. With this list complex document structures can be represented. TM By means of the PLOSSYS PoD (Print-on-Demand) options these documents then can be combined to printer jobs and output quickly on commercial printers. With this processes the sub-documents may also originate from different sources and may be present in different formats. TM PLOSSYS PoD then consolidates these data as PDFs and outputs them on a printer or as electronic manual on CD.
Output of Documents With Printing-onDemand
TM
PLOSSYS PoD is also especially suitable for the high-volume output on high-performance printers with many options for final processing.
Question: Does our company absolutely need the DMS Repro module for plotting from the DMS? TM
Answer: No, PLOSSYS netdome with PAD (print job dialog) and DMS integration are sufficient for this purpose. In this way, however, only such objects can be identified which have been created in DMS and for which there is an original file. Thus it is not possible to initiate a scan job automatically. Furthermore no multiple selections are possible with some SAP lists. This results in a more lengthy interactive job compilation with long drawing lists, as all the objects have to be transferred to the PAD separately. DMS Repro also offers even much more user convenience and functionality. Furthermore this is the only way of ensuring a demand-oriented acquisition of documents. Thus the build-up of digital drawing archives is speeded up tremendously and their use is increased remarkably.
Higher Performance Through DMS Repro
Question: Does the DMS Repro GUI only works as a SAP Transaction? Answer: No, For Releases from 4.05 and specific applications, there is a proven external Search Client with Print/Repro and distribution services in conventional Client-Server Technology.
Module Improvements Through DMS Repro
Question: Can one reconstruct who/when received which documents? TM
Answer: Yes, both the SAP document distribution supported by PLOSSYS PLOSSYS as well as DMS reproduction logs production and distribution processes. DMS reproduction stores the order dates, the recipients, and the pertinent document list for each print job in SAP. This information can be viewed and thus serves as main collection for new operational sequences.
Trackable Document Distribution
Question: Do the output transactions, like production job output, have to be started interactively? Answer: No. These can also be integrated into the SAP processes (i.e. through an entry in table OPK8).
