Is it possible to generate an external download URL of an object ( PDF, for example) stored in a Document Management service (DMS), Integration Option repository ? If yes, what kind of auth would be needed to access such a file? The goal is to attach a link of a Business Partner Document residing in DMS repo to the BP in SAP S/4HANA. Thanks !
Great question … I will check and get back to you. As for s/4hana, an admin can setup DMS to be the documents repo for all attachments in S/4hana so no need to manually handle connecting them … what exactly is your use case and need?
Hello Sir, i have created a repository using gui and have a folder inside it. Files are stored inside the folder. How can i read those files using api.
I don't know if this falls under SAP BTP DMS... but we recently created a BTP application that creates sales orders. At the end of the sales order transaction it generates and saves a PDF version of the sales confirmation on our local drive. However we want that PDF to automatically open up in Adobe Acrobat for further processing/signatures/etc and then emailing from acrobat. Can you think of anyway we can do that with BTP?
This sounds like a classic use case for SAP Build Process Automation, specifically automations. You can create a bot to work with PDF files, saving files and opening files. Depends what the exact scenario would be and which parts a machine could do and which parts you want the user to do.
You have 2 choices: External repo, in which case you connect your CMIS-compliant document store to DMS, meaning this can be on premise. Internal repo, in which case DMS creates the repo, I assume in BTP (cloud) though I will double-check exactly where.
SAP BTP DMS stores the documents in the Object Store service: discovery-center.cloud.sap/serviceCatalog/object-store?service_plan=standard®ion=all&commercialModel=btpea
Well, in the end, you have to pay 😸However, there is a free-tier option for DMS integration option (not Application/Mobile) nor is any of it available on trial. You can find out everything about costs, regions and more on each service in the Discovery Center: discovery-center.cloud.sap/index.html (just search for Document Management)
We are using sap plm dms and external kpro sap content server. Want to use existing sap content server. In that case how sap btp dms reads the files from existing content server? How to achieve this with sap btp dms?
I am not familiar with the specifics for PLM or KPro, but any CMIS-compliant repository can be attached to DMS: help.sap.com/docs/document-management-service/sap-document-management-service/onboarding-repository

This was all I needed to learn, excellent video explaining the use of the API, thank you very much for sharing.

Where will be the repositories created? Will they be created in cloud or can we configure to have them on on-prem system?

So it seems thes services need to paid for. Is this correct or did I "mis-click" somewhere in the process.

I cannot find docment management service in Trial account..
DMS is not in trial. There is a free-tier version of the Integration Option, but you will have to have a productive account.
@@sapdevs Thanks!
