Definition

Path and program call for the workstation application to be started from the document info record for processing original application data.
Usually, the application is installed under this path on all frontend computers of the selected data carrier type.

Use

This entry allows you to start the application from different data carrier types via different paths.

Dependencies

The following additional entries are provided for:

  1. There are the following settings available for frontend computers with the operating system Windows:

  • You can enter %AUTO% as an application path to enable the system
    to automatically find the program to be started for each frontend computer. This means the application (for example, Winword) no longer has to be installed under the same path on all frontend computers.
    Entry: %AUTO%
  • You can start integrated viewer as application to be started.
    Further information can be founf at the end of this document (section Entries for the integrated viewer).
    Entry: &
  • You can to control an application via the DDE interface.
    The system executes the DDE command from the registry for the application. When you start an application with a DDE command in the document management system, the value "system" is defined internally for "topic". In this field, you only have to enter the value for the "service" parameter for the required application, and the suffix %DDE%.
    Example: WINWORD %DDE%
    If you use a DDE command for application type 3 (print), the system executes the DDE command as soon as you print an original application file that was created with the application "Winword" from the document info record.
  • In-place or out-place start for Office Integration
    • In-place
      • The Micrsoft Office application is within the window for processing the document info record.
      The tab page Originals is split into two areas: Overview tree for original application files and maintenance Office application.
      Entry: %SAP-OFFICE-INTEGRATION.INPLACE%
    • Out-place
      • Another window is opened for the Microsoft Office application.
      Entry: %SAP-OFFICE-INTEGRATION.OUTPLACE%
  • In-place with maximiyed screen
    • Within the window for processing the document info record the following program are started maximized:

  • Integrated viewer
  • Office applications (with Office Integration)

Entry: %MAXSIZE%

Example: %SAP-OFFICE-INTEGRATION.INPLACE% %MAXSIZE%

  • No check-out for original application files

    You can set that you do not want to use the SAP System to check out original application files. This is recommended when TIF files are queued to a plotter. The plotter system takes on the task of transferring the original application files.

    Entry: %NO-CHECKOUT%

    Example: RCDDSPLOT%SAP-PROGRAM% %NO-CHECKOUT%

  1. For frontend computers using the operating system MAC OS you have the following possible settings:

  • You can also enter the suffixes %AUTO% and &.
  • If you enter the suffix %CREATOR%, the call is interpreted as a Creator program (alphanumeric program code for MAC OS).
    Example:
    Call MS Word:
    MSWD %CREATOR%

  1. Start function module as application.
    Start SAP function module as application. Enter the SAP function module and the additional %SAP-FUNCTION%. Data is transferred from the document info record to this function module.
  2. Start the SAP program as an application
    Enter a program name and %SAP-PROGRAM%. Data from the document info record are transferred to this program. An example prgram is located at the end of this document (section Example programADTEST00)

You can view original files with the standard viewer by calling the viewers for the frontend computer with each workstation application :

  • 2D formats, such as Bitmaps

    Entry: EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%

  • 3D formats, such as JT files

    Entry: EAIWeb.webviewer3D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%

Example program ADTEST00

You start SAPscript with the program ADTEST00 that you can use to carry out processing of the standard text for the original file depending on processing category (change, display).

Source text:
report adtest00.
tables: draw.
data: begin of intdraz occurs 0.
include structure draz.
data: end of intdraz.
data: path(140).
data: textname like thead-tdname,
applicationsnumber,
applicationtype,
display.
import draw intdraz path applicationsnumber applicationtype
from memory id 'SAP_APPLICATION'.
textname = path.
