Documentation
Definition
Definition of the communication type between SAP ArchiveLink and the external component called.
The following values are permitted, depending on the function:
- Function "Display stored document":
ARCHIVELNK: No communication, but sequential processing of the functions
"Provide stored document on client PC" (see below for description) and "Locally
display file on client PC".
This is the default method for displaying documents from an SAP ArchiveLink 3.1 certified storage system.
OPEN Calls the display components using OLE automation 2.0.
For this you need to maintain the individual OLE calls in application maintenance.
HTTP: Access to documents using HTTP. Documents are displayed by using either HTML control or ECL control.
This is the default method for displaying documents from an SAP ArchiveLink 4.5 certified storage system.
OPEN_V_URL: Calls the display components using OLE automation 2.0. In contrast to the communication type OPEN, the URL on the stored document in the HTTP content repository is transferred to the display components.
R/3 (only for the document type ALF): Displaying stored print lists using the SAP GUI.
This is the default method of displaying stored print lists.
- Function "Provide stored document on client PC"
It is only useful to maintain this function if the function "Display stored document" is set to the communication type "ARCHIVELNK".
OPEN: Calls the function using OLE automation 2.0.
For this you need to maintain the individual OLE calls in the application maintenance.
This is the recommended communication type when using an SAP ArchiveLink 3.1 certified storage system.
TABLE: Provides the document using the SAP application server and transfers it to the front end.
Only use this when no other setting is possible.
HTTP: Access to the document using HTTP.
This is the default method and the recommended method for providing documents from an SAP ArchiveLink 4.5 certified storage system.
- Function "Store from front end"
OPEN: Calls the functions using OLE automation 2.0.
For this you need to maintain the individual OLE calls in application maintenance.
ARCHIVELNK: The user obtains the file(s) and the client stores them.
Depending on the storage system, storage occurs using RFC or HTTP.
This is the default method for storing files from the front end.
- Function "Close window"
You only need to maintain this function if documents are displayed using an external display program (if the function "Display stored document" has the communication type "OPEN"). In the standard case, the function "Close window" is carried out automatically by internal SAP methods.
OPEN: Calls the function using OLE automation 2.0
For this you need to maintain the individual OLE calls in application maintenance.
