Migration of DMS attachments (due to key change)
- proaxia

Make sure this report has been run if you use the DMS storage type in configuration transaction /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA - Inbound/Outbound Attachment Configuration. See also: Post-installation steps for UPGRADE TO (S4)PACG 200
Due to the redesign of attachment handling, DMS attachments’ keys have changed. To avoid duplication, it is required to migrate already existing DMS attachments using report /PACG/ECM_ATTA_MIGR. All FSM attachments synced with the backend system will be identified, removed from FSM and then sent again with a new key.
Options
Force sending | When active documents are sent ignoring entries in /PACG/ECM_AHASH table |
No sending (S4)PACG 200 SP04 | When active no idocs are sent at all. Only entries in the /PACG/ECM_SATT get modified - old keys' values are replaced with new ones so the attachments having new key value will be recognized as already sent |
Save Log | Logs produced by the report are stored with currently active logging solution |
Display Log | Logs should be displayed at the end of the report execution |
Steps
Navigate to program /PACG/ECM_ATTA_MIGR (e.g. via SE38). Specify the number of days that should be used to limit attachment selection. Only attachment idocs whose timestamp is greater than (system date – entered days) will be considered. Execute.
A pop-up log informs about the transferred objects.
Two outbound idocs are generated (when option ‘force send is selected’ (S4)PACG 200 SP 04 )
Idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_OPERATION – for deletion of the attachment object with the old key
Idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_ATTCHM_OUT – for transfer of the attachment object with the new key
The affected object should be still found in SAP FSM. The only difference is its new backend SAPID key.
Technical details
Already transferred attachments are retrieved from table /PACG/ECM_SATT (‘List of sent attachments’) based on date (the ‘Days count’ field should contain the number of days which will be taken away from the system date value).
The found DOCID should not contain ‘DMS’ prefix. DMS attachments are read based on retrieved keys. It is made sure that the corrected keys have not already been sent (based on entries in table /PACG/ECM_MIGAT - ‘List of migrated DMS attachments’).
If all the criteria above are met, the deletion requests with the old attachment IDs are sent to SAP FSM and then new attachment idocs with new keys (starting with prefix ‘DMS’).
