The eBook describes the key concepts and capabilities of Extended ECM for SAP
Solutions.
The OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions eBook is available on OpenText My
Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/Properties/
78814030).
This part covers the installation of the Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud SAP
Add-on.
Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud supports the following SAP products:
• SAP S/4HANA
• SAP ERP 6.0
• SAP CRM 7.0
Basis package
On most SAP systems, you require:
• The SAP Add-On OTEXBAS of Archiving and Document Access for SAP
Solutions. This component is provided on the Extended ECM for SAP
SolutionsCloud installation medium. For details about required versions and
dependencies, read the Required SAP support packages section below.
• The SAP Add-On OTEXRL. For details about required versions and
dependencies read the Required SAP support packages section below. Most
of the other SAP Add-Ons require the Add-Ons OTEXBAS and OTEXRL at
installation time or at least at runtime.
Transport system
The SAP application transport system is installed, this means the jobs RDDPUTPP
and RDDIMPDP are set up in the correct clients and scheduled to run periodically
or event-triggered.
You can find this document in the same documentation folder as the Release
notes.
Short overview of required patch levels or versions:
• Patch level for SAP ERP 6.0 – The minimum requirement for software
components SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA is release 700, patch level 22. This
patch level is required for enhanced functionality, for example, additional
icons in the GOS attachment list, based on the SAP enhancement technology.
• Patch level for SAP CRM 7.0 – For component BBPCRM, the minimum is
release 700, patch level 02.
For component WEBCUIF, the minimum is release 700, patch level 02.

SAP notes
The following SAP notes must be applied:
Note: The documentation and the Release Notes are updated regularly. Check
for the latest version and the additional release information for integrations to
SAP Solutions at OpenText My Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/
knowledge/llisapi.dll/open/16514655).
On the installation medium, the PAT file is in an SAPCAR file (extension *.SAR),
which can be extracted using the SAPCAR command line tool.
The SAPCAR file is in a DATA folder below the package folder named as the package
and SAP release, for example: Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions
\SAP\INST_BAS_700\DATA\OTEXBAS_INST_2240_700.SAR
Note: The handling of the installation procedure within SAINT depends on the
SAP system. For details, see the SAP documentation.
Version information is also included in the system reports of Content Server and the
configuration report in the SAP system.
Tip: You find additional information about your systems in the following
reports:
This chapter describes the installation of Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud
SAP Add-on package.
Installation sequence
1. On the SAP system, install the SAP packages:
• Set up security.
• Configure Records Management (declaration, document types, jobs).
• Configure Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud business functionality:
business workspaces, business attachments, business relations. For more
information, see OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud - Customizing
Guide (EESPCD-CGD).
This chapter describes how to install the following components of Extended ECM
for SAP Solutions on an SAP application server.
Extended ECM for SAP Solutions uses the SAP Add-On Installation Tool (SAINT)
for installation of the SAP part. SAINT uses single PAT files (extension *.PAT) which
integrate several transport files. These collections are also called packages.
On the installation medium, the PAT file is located in an SAPCAR file (extension
*.SAR), which can be extracted using the SAPCAR command line tool. The SAPCAR
file is located in a DATA folder below the package folder named as the package and
SAP release, for example: Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions/
SAP/INST_BAS_700/DATA/OTEXBAS_INST_2240_700.SAR
Note: The handling of the installation procedure within SAINT depends on the
SAP system. For more information, see the SAP documentation.

• OTEXRLC: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions for SAP CRM Add-On
• OTEXRLS: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions for SAP SRM Add-On
• OTEXRLO: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions SAP OData Services Add-on
• OTEXRLF: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions SAP Fiori Apps Add-On
• OTEXRLE: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions for SAP ERP, S/4HANA
• OTEXRLSA: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions Business Scenarios
• OTEXRLS4: Extended ECM for SAP Solutions S/4HANA
Prerequisites The component OTEXBAS of Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions must
be installed on your SAP system. If you want to integrate into SAP Fiori, also the
component OTEXBASF of Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions must be
installed on your SAP system. Check the Release Notes for required versions of
these components.
See also “SAP system requirements” on page 15 with general information on the
installation in an SAP environment.
1. Copy the respective SAPCAR files (*.SAR) located on the installation medium
in Extended ECM\SAP to the target SAP application server in the /usr/sap/
trans folder, which is the parent folder of the DIR_EPS_ROOT folder.
If you are performing a new installation, you need the installation packages and
their passwords.
OTEXRLS4 package
Although this package was created on S/4HANA 1909, only an installation
on S/4HANA 2022 makes sense. This package only contains code relevant
for the UI integration of SAP Harmonized Document Management
(HDM).
Note: With Basis 7.00 or later, you can use the SAINT and SPAM
transactions to upload and extract the SAR files from the frontend system.
3. Import the package as described in the respective SAP documentation. You will
need the password for the package.
After the installation, activate a Business Configuration (BC) set for every client.
To avoid issues with the activation of Business Configuration (BC) sets, apply the
SAP notes listed in Section 6.2 “SAP system requirements” in OpenText Extended
ECM for SAP Solutions - Installation and Upgrade Guide (ERLK-IGD).

6. Ensure that the Authorizations tab has a green icon. If it is yellow, you must
regenerate the authorizations: Click Display Authorization Data, and then
click Generate.
The Add-On installation packages include the default language English. You must
use the optional language packages to install other languages. For more information
about available languages, see Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud Release
Notes. You can find the language packages related to the SAP Add-Ons of Extended
ECM for SAP Solutions on OpenText My Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/
knowledge/cs.dll/Open/8521552).
Notes
• Extract the SAPCAR file (.SAR extension) to the SMLT path folder of your
SAP system. Usually, the path is set to the EPS\in system folder. Use the
SAPCAR tool to extract the file.
• Starting with SAP_BASIS 7.00, you can import and extract the file
directly in transaction SMLT.
3. Use transaction SMLT to import your language package.
Important
Before starting to import language packages, OpenText recommends to
red the SAP help (http://help.sap.com/) about importing a language. In the
SAP help, navigate to the application help for the appropriate SAP release
and read the following chapters:
5. Optional Only for localization of Fiori apps – Starting with version 16.2, the Fiori
apps contained in the Fiori UI Add-on packages OTEXBASF and OTEXRLF
deliver i18n properties files, which are mapped to text tables on the SAP
system. Therefore, specific language packages for Add-On packages OTEXBASF
and OTEXRLF are available. The procedure of installation is the same as
described above.
You can make business workspaces and business attachments available for users in
SAP GUI via Generic Object Services (GOS). The user can then create workspaces,
display existing ones and display, create and delete business attachments in SAP
GUI. For this, you customize the GOS table.
Important
If you are upgrading from 10.0.0, the existing GOS customizing will not be
changed. You can choose if you want to keep several GOS entries or if you
want to use Content Server Business Content.
Tip: For a detailed description of the Business Content window, see Section 8
“Working with the Business Content window” in OpenText Archiving and
Document Access for SAP Solutions - User Guide (ER-UGD).
1. Start the SM30 transaction, and then enter SGOSATTR in the Table/View field.
Click Maintain.
3. Customize the new entry according to the following list. The OTX_ATTACH

4. You must define the position of the new service in the General Object Services.
In the Next service field, enter the name of the service that should follow after
this service. If the service is the last, leave the field empty.
Important
If you do not define the position correctly, it might not be displayed at all.
• You want to add the new service at the beginning of the existing services:
Enter the name of the first existing service in the Next service field of the
new service.
• You want to add the new service at the end of the existing services: Enter the
name of the new service in the Next service field of the last existing service.
Leave the Next service field of the new service empty.
• You want to add the new service in between the existing services: Enter the
name of the new service in the Next service field of the predecessor of
existing services. Enter the name of the successor existing service in the Next
service field of the new services.
5. Click Save.
Note: For more information about maintaining the SGOSATTR table, see the SAP
documentation (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/

with the BAdI definition (menu Goto > Sample Code > Display).
To copy files, users can drag between different nodes in the Business Content
window. To download files, they drag a file to the Local Files node.
For this functionality, users must have the S_GUI authorization object with the
ACTVT=60 parameter. This authorization object is part of the /OTX/RM_USER role.
Important
If you use SAP GUI for Windows, the integration widget does not support
office editors in Microsoft Edge. As an alternative, you can use office online
editors.
1. In the IMG, navigate to the Extended ECM > Maintain Business Object
Declarations activity, and then select Use Widgets for UI for the business
objects for which you want to enable the integration widget in Business Content
window, Web Dynpro or CRM UI.
For more information about the activity, see Section 3.3 “Creating a business
object declaration in SAP” in OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud -
Customizing Guide (EESPCD-CGD).
Tip: For more customizing options for the Business Content window, see
“Selecting items to be displayed in Business Content window” on page 36.

window, an SAP security alert informs the user about the risk. Users can confirm the
message per access attempt, or they can set the security options for their client.
2. In the Document Function section, for the Open function, select Disabled.
Note: If you do not want to disable the Open document function on Content
Server, the FETCH function will be used instead of the defined VIEWDOC function
when users double-click a document in Business Content window. You can
circumvent this by defining a description that is alphabetically before the
description of the FETCH action, for example FETCH with description Open and
VIEWDOC with description Display.
The /OTX/RM_GOS_DD table keeps a default list of MIME types for which Internet
Explorer add-ons enable an in-place rendition. If this list is not sufficient, you can
maintain a custom list in the /OTX/RM_GOS_DD_C table.
Important
Also add the MIME types from /OTX/RM_GOS_DD if you want to keep the
behavior of these MIME types as well.
Restrictions Web Viewer can only render documents that are archived to an OpenText archive.
For example, if you want to display a Microsoft Word document, Internet Explorer
starts Microsoft Word, but leaves an empty browser window open.
Important
Also add the MIME types from /OTX/RM_GOS_DD if you want to keep the
behavior of these MIME types as well.
Note: This customizing step is not necessary if you are using Business Content
window. For more information, see “Customizing the Generic Object Services
(SAP GUI)” on page 33.

browser. You can use this base URL when configuring business object types on
Content Server. The base URL is represented by the $BaseURL$ variable for new
business object types.
For example, https://r3d5g.example.com:44300
Application Server Endpoint
Specify the URL that will be called to obtain business object information.
Important
• If the business application is an SAP system and the following use case
applies, the user also needs to be assigned to a Content Server.
In the SAP system, customizing is active for selecting a template,
classification, or category based on business properties. To create or
update a Business Workspace in Content Server, the following
conditions have to be met:
– The Content Server user who is assigned to this user needs reading
permission on the unique names.
Password
Specify the password of the defined user.
Test Connection
Click Test to perform a connection check to the specified business application.
After a successful check, the message Connection test was successful is
displayed next to the button. If the Test button is not active, you must first save
the configuration. To save the configuration, click Apply.
Note: You can only test the connection after you have configured the SPI
service in the business application accordingly and have saved the
configuration. For more information, see “Configuring the Service
Provider Interface service” on page 132.
Therefore, OpenText recommends doing the following before any records are
created.
3. Click the button of the folder you just created, and then select the
Permissions.
4. Add users and groups that must have access to this volume.
5. Grant full access to those users and groups that have to declare records within
SAP.
Create the Content Server users according to your authentication scenario. For
example, for each SAP user working with Extended ECM for SAP SolutionsCloud,
you can create a Content Server user with the same user name as in SAP.
Alternatively, you can have one Content Server user for many SAP users.
For test purposes or a small number of users, this can be done manually in OpenText
Directory Services. For a large number of SAP users this can achieved using an
Active Directory server that provides users for both the SAP system and for Content
Server via Directory Services.
In your SAP system, the users are either provided and maintained in your SAP
system or in an external identity provider. Directory Services can synchronize with
your identity provider to pull user and group information from your identity
provider automatically.
The following access rights (either directly, via a group, or via public access) are
required:
Records should be created for HR and Finance department; you could now
separate the records either by storing them in different locations or by
classifying them differently. To use the classification approach, create a Finance
Content Server group and add all the users that should have access to the
Finance records; then create a similar HR group. Assign the Finance group
2. In the Managed object types section, click Configure and make sure that at
least the Business Workspace (subtype 848) item is configured.
3. For the Classification tree for document types, select a classification tree for
business workspaces.
4. Set the other options as required. For more information, see the Content Server
online help for that page.
3. From the Look For list, select Complex Query. Then create a complex query
and specify as search criterion: XECMWkspLinkRefTypeID:<ID_CFG value>.
5. Click Save as Slice and enter a name. The slice is saved to the Slice Folder.
6. Set the permissions for the created slice to make it available for the respective
users.
Attributes that were changed in the business workspace are propagated to the sub-
items to ensure clean data. Because of this feature as well as for performance reasons
you should prefer indexing over metadata inheritance in document templates.
You enable indexing for each business workspace type, and you select which items
are to be indexed. After changing the indexing setting, it may be necessary to re-
index documents.
5. From the list of all available Content Server object types, select the object types
that you want to be indexed with metadata from the business workspace. A
typical list could contain the following:
• Folder
• Shortcut
• Generation
• URL
• Task List
• Task
• Email
• Document
• Business Workspace
4. From the function menu of the workspace type, select Schedule for Re-
indexing.
5. Select Run in test mode without indexing to see how many documents need re-
indexing.
Tip: Run the test mode first to estimate the impact of the indexing process
on Content Server performance.
6. To start the re-indexing, clear the Test run option and click Start.
The re-indexing process is scheduled. You can monitor the actual indexing
progress on the Content Server System page.
Click the respective link on the current window to go to Content Server
System, then click Enterprise Data Source Folder > Enterprise Data Flow
Manager. You can monitor the processing in the Interchange Pools section.
With Business Workspaces, the Perspective Manager tool offers a reduced set of
options for Perspectives. For Business Workspaces, a new Perspective is tied to the
workspace type and already contains a sample layout:
The Header widget, an Overview tab with a Team widget and a Metadata widget,
and a Documents tab with the Node Browsing Table widget.
This topic only covers creating a Perspective for a business workspace. For more
information about the full functionality of Perspectives and the Perspective Manager
tool, see the help available in Perspective Manager.
Important
Changes in Perspectives take effect immediately. If you are unsure of your
changes, OpenText recommends that you create your Perspective on a test
system before implementing it on a production system.
Notes
• For systems with Extended ECM Documentum for SAP Solutions, OpenText
recommends that you create a new tab in the Perspective for D2 documents.
For example, you can name the tab as “Documents” and place the
Documentum D2 widget on it to show the Documentum view of the
workspace. For more information, see Section 9 “Extended ECM
Documentum for SAP Solutions Widget Group” in OpenText Content Server -
Widget Configuration Online Help (CSAV-H-CWG).
• In each business workspace, you can have only one Node Browsing Table
widget, regardless of how many tabs you have.
• When you transport Perspectives using the Transport Warehouse, you must
follow a certain order to keep dependencies. For more information, see
Section 4.4 “Transporting the configuration” in OpenText Business Workspaces
- Configuration Guide (CSCWS-CGD).
1. On the global menu, click Enterprise > Business Workspaces, click Workspace
Types, and then open a workspace type.
3. In the Perspective Manager tool, on the General tab, click Create new, and then
enter a title for the Perspective.
4. Optional On the Rules tab, create logical rules to control when the Perspective
takes effect.
5. On the Configure tab, choose and configure the widgets for the workspace-type
Perspective.
• The widget library pane on the left contains widget groups from the installed
modules, such as the Business Workspaces widget group. You can expand a
widget group and then drag a widget to the working area.
• The working area in the middle allows you to place the widgets. When you
click on a widget in the working area, you can configure its features in the
options pane.
• The options pane on the right allows you to configure the options of the
selected widget.
• The tabs are configurable. You can create new tabs or edit them. Double-click
a tab name to rename it. To remove a tab, select another tab, and then drag
the tab, which you wanted to delete, out of the picture.
6. Click Create.

With the installation of Extended ECM, a logo and the overrides.css are already
on your system. The override.css file is located in the <Content Server home/
support/xecmpf> folder. You need to change the filename, edit the CSS file and
propagate it.
1. Copy the overrides.css file and name it, for example, my-overrides.css.
2. Open the my-overrides.css file in an editor. Change the graphic file name in
the background-image parameter:
.binf-navbar .binf-navbar-brand > .csui-logo > .csui-logo-image {
background-image: url(header_extended_ecm-inv.svg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 266px, 86px;
height: 43px;
width: 266px;
}
– header_extended_ecm.svg
– header_extended_ecm_inv.svg
• Use your own graphic file. If you use your own graphic file, you copy it to
the support directory <Content Server home/support/xecmpf>. If you
store it in a different folder, you must provide the correct path in the CSS
description.
Note: Business workspace documents will not receive the View Document
option, even if the Review and Notes module is installed.
You can configure the Open Link option to be the default viewing method. For
more information, see Section 6.3 “Integrating in Content Server” in OpenText
Imaging Web Viewer - Installation and Configuration Guide (CLWEBV-IGD).
Users of smart view can work with ArchiveLink documents using Web Viewer and
can access notes and annotations for these documents. For non-ArchiveLink
documents, in business workspaces, users can use Content Suite Viewer, OpenText
Viewing or OpenText Intelligent Viewing (licensed version), whichever is
configured and available.
Online help
Some of the help in Content Server is built-in: It is delivered as online help that
is included in the Content Server application directory. Content Server online
help is updated when you apply a Content Server Update, or when you upgrade
Content Server.
OpenText Global Help Server help
Help for the Content Server Smart View, and for certain products such as
Perspective Manager and Business Workspaces is delivered as OpenText Global
Help Server help, which is available over the Internet. Global Help Server help is
updated by OpenText. Updates can occur at any time without requiring any
action on your part. However, if your organization restricts access to the public
Internet, you may need to implement the OpenText Private Help Server: a local
installation of the Global Help Server. For more information, see “Providing the
online help on a local help server (Private Help Server)” on page 75.
Notes
• The Private Help Server can support multiple OpenText modules. If the
Private Help Server has already been installed within your organization to
support another OpenText module, you can add additional OpenText
module online helps to that installation.
• If you are replacing a previous PHS installation, see Section 2.5 “Updating a
Private Help Server installation” in OpenText Help System - Private Help Server
Administration Guide (OTHS-AGD).
• If the server you want to use for the PHS installation cannot connect to the
Internet, see Section 1.1 “Deploying online help files in a secure environment
(no Internet)” in OpenText Help System - Private Help Server Administration
Guide (OTHS-AGD).
Once the PHS is installed or upgraded, you can use its Online Help Deployer to
download online helps from the GHS system by entering the help deployment codes
listed below. For more information about using the codes, see Section 3 “Adding
product online help to the Private Help Server” in OpenText Help System - Private
Help Server Administration Guide (OTHS-AGD).
Code Product
EESPCD230200-IGD OpenText™ Extended ECM for SAP®
Solutions Cloud CE 23.2
Note: This section applies only to the OpenText Global Help Server help,
which is available over the Internet.
For information about the built-in online help that is included in the Content
Server application directory, see Section 7.5 “Set Up the Help Environment” in
OpenText Extended ECM - Installation Guide (LLESCOR-IGD).
To have your Content Server installation call the help topics on your Private Help
Server, set the URL Root of your Private Help Server on the Configure Smart View
administration page.
2. On the Configure Smart View page, enter the base URL of your Private Help
Server in the URL Root box:
http://<Private_Help_Server>:<port>/OTHelpServer/mapperpi
Example: http://tomcat.example.com:8080/OTHelpServer/mapperpi
When the business workspace is restored from the Recycle Bin, it is not re-connected
to the original business object. Users must manually assign a business object as
workspace reference again.
The object types Business Workspaces (848) and Related Business Workspace (854)
are mandatory restorable object. This means, that they are always restorable and
cannot configured otherwise.
After installation, unique names for standard SAP themes already exist. You can edit
these unique names and their assignment. Changes take effect immediately. The
following SAP themes are already configured: content_server, default, sap_
tradeshow, sap_tradeshow_plus. Unique names for appearances must use the
prefix theme_ and they are always expected in lower-case, even if SAP sends the
parameter in upper-case. For more information, see Section 3.15 “Creating unique
names for Content Server items” in OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions -
Customizing Guide (ERLK-CGD).
These settings will turn off certain standard Content Server UI components such
as header and footer; an additional JavaScript will be added to the appearance
to manipulate the breadcrumb navigation.
By default, the add-in allows users to browse to and search for business workspaces
and select a folder in which to save an email. If needed, you can also force users to
save emails to a specific regular folder or Email folder in a business workspace.
Tip: For more information about Outlook add-ins, see Add-ins for Outlook
(https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/jj943753(v=exchg.150).aspx).
Note: You need system administrator rights in Content Server and access to
the file system to configure this feature. Please ask OpenText Professional
Services for assistance.
You must download the latest manifest file for the Business Workspaces Outlook
add-in from the Content Server system you want to use to store emails. During the
download process, information about that Content Server system is saved to the
manifest file. You can then use the downloaded manifest file to install or upgrade
the add-in in Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Exchange Online.
When users subsequently open the add-in in Outlook, the add-in automatically
connects to the Content Server system you used to download the manifest file.
If you upgrade the Business Workspaces Outlook add-in, downloading the manifest
file, as documented in “To download the latest Outlook add-in manifest file:
“ on page 81, allows you to see all functionality of the upgraded module.
Tips
• For more information about Outlook add-in manifest files, see Outlook
add-in manifests (https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/outlook/manifests/
manifests?product=outlook).
Note: You must use the manifest file you downloaded to install the Business
Workspaces Outlook add-in in Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Exchange
Online. During the installation process, when you are prompted to select the
location from which to install the add-in, select Add from file and then select
the manifest file you downloaded.
For more information, see Install or remove add-ins for Outlook for your
organization (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/

For more information about configuring a web server for Content Server, see
OpenText Extended ECM - Installation Guide (LLESCOR-IGD).
1. On the Content Server system you want to use to store emails, browse to the
Content Server Administration page, and click Business Workspaces > Set up
Outlook Add-in.
2. On the Set up Outlook Add-in page, in the Outlook Add-in Manifest File area,
do the following:
a. The File name field cannot be edited. This field contains the filename of the
manifest file, BusinessWorkspace.Manifest.xml.
b. The File version field cannot be edited. It displays the Outlook add-in
manifest file version that is available to be downloaded.
c. In the Content Server URL field, confirm that the value in this field
displays the URL for the Content Server system you want to use. The URL
must start with https.
By default, the URL of your current Content Server system is pre-populated
in this field. In most cases, you can keep the default URL. However, you
can edit the URL if, for example, the pre-populated URL does not contain
the correct protocol value or if your Content Server system requires a
different URL for external access.
Notes
• If the pre-populated URL starts with http, you must map Content
Server to a web server that has HTTPS enabled. You must then
confirm that the new URL, that starts with https, appears in the
Outlook Add-in Manifest File area.
• If you edit the URL, and you are using a port other than 443 for
HTTPS connections, you must add your server port number to the
URL. For example, if you are using port 4430 for HTTPS
connections, the URL must have the following form:
https://MyHost.example.com:4430
3. Click Download.
11.13.1.3 Migrating custom settings to the new Outlook add-in manifest file
If you are upgrading the Business Workspaces Outlook add-in, you must migrate
settings from your old manifest file to the new manifest file you downloaded if you
previously edited your old manifest file to add custom settings, for example, image
URLs.
Note: If you did not add custom settings to your old manifest file, you can skip
this task.
To migrate custom add-in settings to the new Outlook add-in manifest file:
2. From your old manifest file, copy the custom settings you want to migrate and
paste them to the corresponding locations in the new manifest file.
Tip: For more information about installing Outlook add-ins, see Install or
remove add-ins for Outlook for your organization (https://
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj943752(v=exchg.150).aspx).
1. In Microsoft 365 admin center, open the Services & add-ins page.
4. Select I have a manifest file (.xml) on this device and click Choose File to select
the BusinessWorkspace.Manifest.xml file you downloaded.
1. Create and configure the business workspaces and folders in which you want
users to save emails. For more information about the types of folders you can
create and the guidelines for creating the folders, see “Creating Content Server
folders for the add-in” on page 83.
2. Grant users the Add Items permission, or higher, on the business workspaces to
which they will save emails.
3. Optionally, if you want users to specify metadata values when saving emails to
folders, assign any of the following categories to those folders:
b. Do not assign categories that contain attribute sets with multiple rows
to folders. If you assign this type of category to a folder, users will not
be able to specify metadata values in all of the fields within the
attribute set.
4. Optionally, add one or more search forms to the Search Forms folder in the
Business Workspaces volume. For more information, see “Creating search forms
for the add-in” on page 85.
You must create one or more regular or Email folders in each business workspace
based on the functionality you plan to configure.
• If you plan to allow users to browse to, and then select, folders in which to
save emails, you can create as many regular folders as you want in each
business workspace.
• If you plan to force users to save emails to a specific, regular folder, you must
create an instance of the same folder in each business workspace. The
spelling and capitalization of each folder instance must match in all of the
business workspaces.
Example: If you want to allow users to save emails to a business workspace called
BW1, and also save emails to a second business workspace called BW2, create a regular
folder called Email communication in BW1, and a separate folder with the same name
in BW2.
• If you plan to allow users to browse to, and then select, folders in which to
save emails, you can create as many Email folders as you want in each
business workspace.
• If you plan to force users to save emails to a specific Email folder, you must
create an Email folder in each business workspace. You can choose to create
an Email folder with a different name in each business workspace or create
an instance of the same Email folder in each business workspace.
If you create an Email folder with a different name in each business
workspace, each folder that you create must be the first Email folder that
appears alphabetically in each business workspace. When a business
workspace has multiple Email folders, emails are saved only to the first
Email folder that appears alphabetically in that business workspace.
If you create an instance of the same Email folder in each business
workspace, the spelling and capitalization of each folder instance must
match in all of the business workspaces.
Tip: Regular folders and Email folders are specific types of folders that you can
create in Content Server. For more information about each folder type, see
Section 4.7 “Adding and Configuring Folders” in OpenText Content Server - Get
Started (LLESRT-H-UGD).
If you want to display a different set of search forms in the Select a search form list,
you can add search forms, or shortcuts that point to search forms, to the Search
Forms folder in the Business Workspaces volume. You must also configure each
search form as a custom view search.
1. For more information about creating search forms and configuring them as
custom view searches, see Section 3.13.4 “Classic View: Configuring a
simple search” in OpenText Business Workspaces - Configuration Guide
(CSCWS-CGD).
2. If you do not want to make search forms available to users, you can hide
the Custom search button from the add-in. For more information, see
“Configuring add-in settings” on page 86.
• Create a search form in the Search Forms folder. Browse to the Search
Forms folder, click Search on the Tools menu, and then configure the search
fields for the form.
• Create a search form in any other Content Server location, and then add a
shortcut that points to that search form in the Search Forms folder.
Tip: When you create a search form, consider setting its Content Type
system attribute to Business Workspace. When this attribute is set, only
business workspaces are returned in the search results.
2. Configure the search form as a custom view search. On the Make Custom View
Search page of the search form, select the Show check box for one or more
search fields, and then click Save.
2. Remove a search form or shortcut from the folder, for example, delete the item
from the folder or move it to a different location outside of the folder. The
corresponding search form is removed from the Select a search form list in the
add-in.
Before Outlook Add-in version 20.3, single sign-on (SSO) was disabled by default.
Beginning with version 20.3, for new installations, SSO is enabled by default. You
can change this setting in Step 6. Single sign-on requires configuration, the
instructions can be found in Section 3.15.5 “Configuring your environment for SSO
authentication” in OpenText Business Workspaces - Configuration Guide (CSCWS-CGD).
1. On the global menu, click Enterprise > Business Workspaces, and then click
Outlook Add-in Configuration.
2. On the Outlook Add-in Configuration page, click General Configuration. On
the Configure Outlook Add-in page, do the following:
3. In the Email Saving Options area, if you want to specify the folders and folder
types to which users can save emails, do the following options:
• In addition, if you want to restrict users, so that they can only save
emails to Email folders, select Save emails only to email folders. Clear
this box if you want to allow users to save emails to any type of folder.
This box is cleared by default.
When this box is selected, the Save icon appears only when users place
their pointer on Email folders in the add-in. When this box is cleared,
the Save icon appears when users place their pointer on any type of
folder in the add-in.
b. Optional If you want users to save emails to a specific folder in a business
workspace, select Save emails to a pre-configured folder. This box is
cleared by default.
Clear this box if you want to allow users to save emails to any folder in a
business workspace. If you clear this box, you must select and configure the
Allow users to expand workspaces and browse workspace folders option
in Step 3.a instead.
If you select this box, you must choose one of the following options:
• If you want users to save emails to the first Email folder that appears
alphabetically in a business workspace, select Save emails to the first
email folder in the workspace.
You can use this option if, for example, you want to allow users to save
emails to Email folders with different names in each business
workspace (for example, an Email folder called MyFolder in one
business workspace and an Email folder called Communication in
another business workspace).
If you select this option, you must create an Email folder in each
business workspace that users can access in Content Server. Each folder
you create must be the first Email folder that appears alphabetically in
each business workspace.
• If you want users to save emails to the workspace root folder, select
Save emails to the workspace root folder. For information about the
workspace root folder, see Section 1.11 “Creating a root folder for the
business workspaces” in OpenText Content Server User Online Help -
Business Workspaces (LLESCWS-H-UGD).
• If you want users to save emails to a specific regular folder or Email
folder, select Save emails to the following workspace folder. You can
use this option if, for example, you want users to save emails to a
specific folder that has the same name in each business workspace.
If you select this option, in the associated box, you must specify the
name of the folder to which users will save the emails. You must also
create an instance of the folder in each business workspace that users
can access in Content Server.
4. In the Page Size area, specify the number of items that are displayed from
business workspaces and folders at a time. By default, this value is 10.
5. Optional In the Search Forms area, select Show custom search section if you
want to make search forms available to users in the add-in.
By default, this option is selected, and users can use search forms to search for
business workspaces. You can specify which search forms are available in the
add-in. For more information, see “Creating search forms for the add-in”
on page 85.
When this option is cleared, the Custom search button is hidden from the add-
in and users can search for business workspaces only by name and type.
6. Optional In the Single Sign-on area, clear Enable if you do not want the add-in to
use single sign-on (SSO) authentication to access Content Server. By default, this
option is selected and SSO authentication is used.
You must configure your environment for SSO authentication. For more
information, see Section 3.15.5 “Configuring your environment for SSO
authentication” in OpenText Business Workspaces - Configuration Guide (CSCWS-
CGD). If your environment is not configured for SSO authentication, users will
still be able to sign in, although the sign-in time will be delayed.
7. In the Trusted Exchange Servers area, specify the name of each Exchange
Server system that will be used to save emails. Users will be permitted to save
emails only from the Exchange Server systems you add to this list.
You must specify each Exchange Server name on a separate line. By default, the
Office 365 Exchange Server name, outlook.office365.com, appears in the list.
In this example, users can browse to and select any folder in which to save
emails. The Save icon appears whenever users place their pointer on any folder
in any business workspace.
Folders to create
Any number of regular folders or Email folders in each business
workspace.
Folders to create
An Email folder in each business workspace. Each folder can have a
different name in each business workspace. Make sure that each folder you
create is the first Email folder that appears alphabetically in each business
workspace.
Email saving options to configure
1. Clear Allow users to expand workspaces and browse workspace
folders.
2. Select Save emails to a pre-configured folder.
3. Select Save emails to the first email folder in the workspace.
In this example, users can expand business workspaces to browse the folder
structure; however, they are permitted to save emails only to Email folders. The
Save icon appears whenever users place their pointer on an Email folder. The
Save icon does not appear when users place their pointer on regular folders.
Folders to create
Any number of Email folders in each business workspace.
Email saving options to configure
1. Select Allow users to expand workspaces and browse workspace
folders.
2. Select Save emails only to email folders.
3. Clear Save emails to a pre-configured folder.
Folders to create
An instance of a regular folder called Folder1 in each business workspace.
Email saving options to configure
1. Clear the Allow users to expand workspaces and browse workspace
folders option.
2. Select Save emails to a pre-configured folder.
3. Select Save emails to the following workspace folder, and then specify
Folder1 as the name of the folder to which users can save emails.
Folders to create
You do not need to create any folders. You need to designate the
workspace root folder. For more information, see Section 1.11 “Creating a
root folder for the business workspaces” in OpenText Content Server User
Online Help - Business Workspaces (LLESCWS-H-UGD).
Email saving options to configure
1. Clear the Allow users to expand workspaces and browse workspace
folders option.
2. Select Save emails to a pre-configured folder.
3. Select Save emails to the workspace root folder.
Whenever a user opens the add-in to save an email, the add-in performs the
following steps to determine which business workspaces to display in the Suggested
workspaces list:
1. The add-in uses the rules you configured to search for business workspaces
based on whether the email that is open contains a specific term or pattern in one
of its properties, for example, its subject line.
2. The add-in uses the email search settings you configured to search for business
workspaces containing emails that have the same sender and similar recipients
as the email that is open.
3. After performing both search processes, the add-in assigns the numeric weight
values that are specified within the rules and email search settings to each
business workspace. An overall weight value is calculated for each business
workspace based on the combined results of both search processes.
The business workspaces that have the highest overall weight values are then
displayed in the Suggested workspaces list. By default, up to five business
workspaces can appear in the list.
For more information about how the add-in performs each of these steps, see
“Understanding how rules and email search settings are applied” on page 91.
11.13.4.1 Understanding how rules and email search settings are applied
You can configure rules and email search settings on the Suggested Workspaces
Configuration page in the Business Workspaces volume. For more information, see
“Configuring Rules and Email Search Settings” on page 94.
Whenever a user opens the add-in to save an email, the following actions take place:
1. The add-in uses each rule that you configured to search for business workspaces.
When a rule is applied, the following actions take place:
a. The add-in uses the Matching Condition pattern and email property
specified within the rule to determine whether to apply the rule to the email
that is open. Specifically, the add-in checks whether the email property in the
opened email contains the pattern.
b. If the email that is open contains that pattern, the add-in searches for
business workspaces based on the Workspace Type value and Extraction
Term pattern specified within the rule.
The add-in uses the Extraction Term pattern to extract a value from the
email property you specified within the rule, and then uses the extracted
value to search for business workspaces by name.
Example: If you select Order as the Workspace Type value, and if the Extraction
Term pattern extracts 1234 from the email property, the add-in retrieves all business
workspaces that have the type Order, and have names that contain 1234.
d. The add-in assigns a numeric weight value to each business workspace that
is retrieved. These weight values are added to the overall weight value of
each business workspace.
By default, the Default Weight value specified on the Workspace Rules tab
is assigned to each business workspace that is retrieved.
Example: If the Default Weight value is set to 20, a value of 20 is assigned to the
overall weight value of each business workspace that is retrieved.
However, if a Weight value is specified within the rule itself, the Weight
value overrides the Default Weight value.
Example: If you set the Weight value to 100, but set the Default Weight value to 20,
a weight value of 100 is assigned to each business workspace that is retrieved by that
rule specifically.
2. The add-in then uses email search settings you configured to search for relevant
emails. The following actions take place:
a. The add-in searches within all business workspaces to find previously stored
emails that contain the same sender or similar recipients as the email that is
open. In the email search settings, you can specify whether the add-in
performs searches based on the sender, recipients, or both.
Example: If you configured the add-in to perform searches based on both the sender
and recipients, and if the email that is open lists [email protected] as the sender
and [email protected] as a recipient, all previously stored emails that list
[email protected] as the sender or [email protected] as a recipient are
returned in the search results.
b. When such emails are found, the emails are sorted based on the Sort Emails
by option specified in the email search settings. For example, you can sort
the emails based on their last modified dates.
c. The add-in retrieves emails from the top of the sorted set. The add-in
retrieves a maximum of 50 emails and any emails that appear after the first
50 emails are excluded from the set of retrieved emails.
d. The add-in assigns a numeric weight value to each business workspace that
contains emails that were retrieved in the previous step. The weight values
are assigned based on the number of retrieved emails that each business
workspace contains.
These weight values are added to the overall weight value of each business
workspace and are calculated using the Weight of each Email value
specified in the email search settings.
Example: If the Weight of each Email value is set to 5, and a business workspace
contains 3 of the retrieved emails, a value of 15 is added to that business workspace’s
overall weight value.
3. To calculate an overall weight value for each business workspace, the add-in
uses the weight values that are assigned as a result of applying the rules and
searching for emails.
Example: If a business workspace is assigned a value of 20 after the rules are applied and
a value of 15 after the email search takes place, that business workspace’s overall weight
value is 35.
4. The business workspaces that have the highest overall weight values are then
displayed in the Suggested workspaces list.
Tips
• For more information about rules and email search settings, see “Testing
your rules and email search settings” on page 94.
• For more information about creating regular expressions, see https://
regex101.com/.
If a user opens an email that has this type of subject line in Outlook, the Business
Workspaces Outlook add-in automatically applies a default rule to determine which
business workspaces to display in the Suggested workspaces list. Specifically, the
add-in uses both the workspace type name and workspace name from the subject
The add-in assigns a numeric value of 30 to each business workspace that is found,
and then displays the relevant business workspaces in the Suggested workspaces
list.
If you configure rules and email search settings, the default rule is applied in
conjunction with the configured rules and email search settings.
You must first configure and save the rules and email search settings you want to
test on the Workspace Rules and Email Search tabs on the Suggested Workspaces
Configuration page. On the Test tab, you can then specify the properties to include
in a simulated email you want to test.
When you run the test, the add-in applies the rules and email search settings you
configured to the simulated email and displays the actions that would occur if a user
were to open an email containing the properties you specified. For example, the test
results show which values would be extracted from email properties and which
values would be used to search for emails and business workspaces when specific
rules are used.
If the test does not produce the intended results, you can edit the rules and email
search settings and run the test again. You can also run the test with different
simulated email properties.
1. On the global menu, click Enterprise > Business Workspaces, and then click
Outlook Add-in Configuration.
2. Click Suggested Workspaces Configuration.
3. On the General tab, configure the following options, as needed:
a. Optional Select the Show Suggested Workspaces Section option if you want
to display the Suggested workspaces list in the Business Workspaces
Outlook add-in. Clear this option to hide the list from the add-in. By
default, this option is selected.
a. Select the Default Weight value you want to assign to each business
workspace that is found by any of the rules you configure. By default, this
value is added to the overall weight value of each business workspace that
is found by a rule.
b. Optional If you want to configure a rule, in the Rules area, click Add a Rule,
and then configure the following settings.
• Subject: allows the add-in to search for patterns within the subject
line of the opened email.
• Sender: allows the add-in to search for patterns within the Sender
field of the opened email.
• To: allows the add-in to search for patterns within the To field of
the opened email.
• Cc: allows the add-in to search for patterns within the Cc field of
the opened email.
Note: You can specify only one capturing group within the
regular expression. If you specify multiple capturing groups,
only the first capturing group is used to extract the value
from the email property.
v. In the Weight field, if needed, select the weight value you want to
assign when business workspaces are retrieved by this rule
specifically. This value is added to the overall weight value of each
business workspace that is found by this rule.
By default, this value is set to Default, meaning that the value that is
selected in the Default Weight list in Step 4.a is assigned to business
workspaces that are found by this rule. If you select a value other than
Default, the Weight value overrides the Default Weight value.
c. Click OK.
Note: Clicking OK adds the rule to the rules list; however, the rule is
not saved until you click Save Changes or Apply.
d. You can now configure additional rules, as needed, by following the steps
in Step 4.b.
Once you are finished configuring your rules, you will see the rules list.
The rules are sorted by weight and then by name. Rules are applied in the
order they are listed.
Tip: In the rules list, you can click the Edit button to edit a rule, or
the Delete button to delete a rule. You can also enable or disable a
rule by selecting or clearing its check box in the Enabled column.
a. In the Sort Emails by field, select one of the following options to specify
how to sort the emails that are returned in the search results:
• Last modified date: sorts the emails by the last modified date in
descending order.
• Relevance: sorts the emails according to the relevance rules that are
defined in Content Server. For more information about relevance rules,
see OpenText Content Server - Content Server Administration (LLESWBA-
H-AGD).
The Sort Emails by option specifies which emails are retrieved if more than
50 emails are returned in the search results. The add-in retrieves only the
first 50 emails from the search results and excludes all emails that appear
after the first 50 emails. If more than 50 emails are returned in the search,
the sort order specifies which emails are included in the set of retrieved
emails and which emails are excluded from that set.
b. In the Weight of Each Email field, if needed, specify a numeric value that is
added to the overall weight value of a business workspace whenever an
email is found by the search. By default, the weight value is set to 1;
however, you can specify any positive integer.
For example, if the Weight of Each Email value is set to 5, and if 3 emails
are found in a business workspace, a value of 15 is added to that business
workspace’s overall weight value.
c. Optional Select Search Email Sender if you want to allow the add-in to find
previously saved emails that have the same sender as the email that is
open.
d. Optional Select Search Email Recipients if you want to allow the add-in to
find previously saved emails that include similar recipients as the email
that is open.
6. Click Save Changes to save the rules and search settings and return to the
Outlook Add-in Configuration folder.
Tip: You can also click Apply to save the rules and search settings without
leaving the page.
1. On the Test tab, in the Outlook User area, specify an Outlook email address to
represent the user who saves emails in Outlook.
2. In the Email Properties area, specify one or more email property values to
include in the simulated email you want to test.
• Sender: specify the email address of the sender to include in the simulated
email.
• To: specify one or more email addresses to include as the recipient in the
simulated email.
• Cc: specify one or more email addresses to include as additional recipients in
the simulated email.
• Subject: specify a phrase or term to include in the subject line of the
simulated email.
3. Click Test.
When the rule is applied, the add-in searches the subject line of the opened
email for the term customer. If the subject line contains that term, the add-in
uses the extraction term pattern to extract the characters that appear after
customer in the subject line.
For example, if the subject line is customer ABCD, the add-in extracts the value
ABCD. The add-in then retrieves all business workspaces that have the type
Customer and whose names include ABCD.
When the rule is applied, the add-in searches the subject line of the opened
email for the pattern order[\s|-]+\d+, that is, the term order, followed by
one or more spaces or hyphens, followed by one or more numbers. If the
subject line contains this pattern, the add-in uses the extraction term pattern to
extract the numbers that appear after order in the subject line.
For example, if the subject line is order - 1234, the add-in extracts the value
1234. The add-in then retrieves all business workspaces that have the type
Order and whose names include 1234.
When the rule is applied, the add-in searches the Sender field of the opened
email for the pattern equipment_[\d][email protected], that is, the term
equipment, followed by an underscore, followed by any combination of
numbers, followed by @server.com. If the Sender field contains this pattern,
the add-in uses the extraction term pattern to extract the numbers that appear
between equipment_ and @server.com.
Frame Embedding
Must be unchecked. You do not want to prevent request handlers from
being embedded in external frames.
• An antivirus application must be able to read files from the file system.
Sometimes, the process of reading the file will “lock” it and prevent other
applications from reading from or writing to the file.
Therefore configure your antivirus software to exclude the <Content_Server_
home> folder and subfolders and the folders that contain the Content Server
search index files.
• When an antivirus application has detected what it believes to be an infected file,
the antivirus application might “quarantine”, which means move and restrict
access, the file or delete the file entirely. However, antivirus applications
sometimes identify non-malicious files as a virus. As a result, these files can be
inadvertently deleted or quarantined. When this happens, important files can be
made inaccessible, which can prevent services from running correctly or from
running at all.
OpenText partners have also created modules that can integrate directly with
Content Server and an organization’s existing antivirus solutions to block malware
and viruses from being uploaded to Content Server. To inquire about these
solutions, contact your Customer Support channel.
For more information, see the “Best Practices: Content Server Application Security
Hardening Guide” in OpenText My Support (https://knowledge.opentext.com/

Optionally, you can perform a test run first and also use the option to create
a transport file if needed.
d. Select the same file that you created with the download program.
5. After you have successfully completed the upload steps for all transaction, you
can adjust the transaction assignments in the SU24 transaction.
Note: For authorization checks that will be added or changed in future support
packages, OpenText will deliver a list of transactions whose assignments can
be copied into the “customer” list of the SU24 transaction. However, you must
verify existing transaction assignments in the SU25 transaction using step
Postprocess the Settings > 2B Compare Affected Transactions.
Note: If your system uses a different PSE file for SAP Logon Ticket signing (for
example, if you have implemented SAP Note 2420548), then you need to export
that file without the system PSE. The procedure is similar as described for the
system PSE.
1. In the IMG, navigate to the Export System PSE Certificate to File System
activity, and then click Execute.
2. Open the System PSE section, and then check whether there is a certificate in

You can fill OTDS groups with users from the SAP system depending on their role
assignment. The OTDS users and groups are synchronized to the Content Server
groups.
For the mapping, you create the OTDS groups in a separate non-synchronized
partition. You configure the Content Server resource in OTDS, define the partition
and a mapping in the SAP system, run it and configure events. Permissions for
groups in Content Server must be defined separately by the Content Server
administrators. For information about all relevant settings, see Section 8 “Mapping
SAP roles to groups” in OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions - User Management
and Access Control Scenarios (ERLK-CUM).
Note: For earlier versions, a Solution Accelerator was available for the
mapping of SAP roles to Directory Services groups. If you have been using this
Solution Accelerator, you can either stay with your former implementation or
switch to the new implementation. If you want to switch to the new
implementation, copy the mapping from the Solution Accelerator table to the
product table.
For more information about setting up user mapping, see Section 3.2.3.1 “One-to-one
user mapping without impersonation” in OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions -
User Management and Access Control Scenarios (ERLK-CUM).
Note: The OTDS group can be in a different partition which must be non-
synchronized.
Content Server For Content Server groups, the partition is only appended if OTExternalID2,
groups OTExternalID3, or OTExternalID4 is defined as _NAME_ attribute. In this case,
define the partition.

With the license measurement, you assess the number and types of users who are
working with an SAP system. License measurement for Archiving and Document
Access and Extended ECM for SAP Solutions can be integrated in the SAP license
measurement Global License Audit System (GLAS). With this information, you can
align your contract with SAP or OpenText to meet your requirements more
accurately.

16.2.2 Prerequisites
To use the Extended ECM for SAP Solutions license measurement, you must do the
following:
1. On the SAP system, create roles for each license type that you need with the
authorization object and appropriate license type, and assign them to the users.
2. • Extended ECM License Metering – in Content Server, assign the appropriate
license type to the users of Extended ECM for SAP Solutions. For example, a
user who rarely needs to work with business workspaces needs a different
license than users that daily work with business workspaces.
• Extended ECM License Control – assign the license types in OTDS.
user who runs a license measurement needs a business role with the following
authorization objects:
2. Create a role for a user who runs license measurement according to the
information given in the table above.
3. On the systems which are called via RFC, create a role for communication users
who are called via RFC from a central license measurement system.
• Writing status, warning and error messages to application log object SLG1.
If validation issues have been found, this shows as a warning message in the log
of each function. You then must check the more detailed license report in
transaction /otx/license.
• Each function module contains an external ID referring to the related application/
product.
• The function modules call a central method of the OpenText license evaluation to
calculate the license counts.
Important
Add the following entries only if you purchased your licenses from
SAP. If you purchased your licenses directly from OpenText, set Call?
= false for all these entries.

• Assign a license type to a user or a group. For Extended ECM License Control,
perform this in OTDS. A license can be assigned to a user, group or partition
level.
• Grant the permission to access business workspaces. For Extended ECM License
Control, this is not required anymore.
• For the authentication of this connection, OTDS is required.
1. In Content Server Administration page, click Enterprise > Users & Groups to
open the Content Server user management.
Note: If there are conflicting license assignments for users because one of
their groups has a different type, the most comprehensive license type is
counted.
Only users with the Access Business Workspaces privilege can access business
workspaces. Each time a user with this privilege accesses business workspace is
counted for the license measurement.
The SAP administrator who runs the license measurement must have the
following business administrator’s usage privileges in Content Server.
Standard Mode
Use the standard mode for a simple scenario:
• The SAP client on which you run the license dashboard is the only system
that is being measured.
• The Content Server instance that is being measured is customized in the IMG
activity OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions > Infrastructure >
Maintain Extended ECM Connections. You can select a Content Server if
more than one is configured.
Expert Mode
Use the expert mode for a system measurement of more than one SAP client and
possibly more Content Server installations.
You can use expert mode to include all Content Server instances that are
connected to a remote SAP system.
This section is only visible if Extended ECM is installed and Connection IDs are
maintained in the IMG activity.
Save your settings.
3. OpenText Products Sold by SAP That Have Been Licensed: Select if you
licensed OpenText Employee File Management (EFM) or OpenText Travel
Receipts Management for SAP Solutions (TRM). When you selected an option,
DocuLink projects that are recognized as EFM or TRM projects are ignored
when validating access permissions to DocuLink. In any case, TRM or EFM
DocuLink projects are listed in the license report.
4. Click Start License Measurement and confirm the creation of the background
job.
The Status section informs you about the status of the measurement. Click
Refresh to update the status. If the measurement was performed without errors,
click Display Latest License Report to view the report.
For more information, see “Understanding the consolidated measurement
results” on page 161.
In expert mode, you have the following options how license data is retrieved for
consolidation:
• Direct transfer through RFC connection. The remote system must be available
during the measurement.
• Export an XML file from the remote SAP system and import it to the license
measurement cockpit inbox. Use this option if the remote system is not available
during measurement. You can either create and export file manually on the
remote system, save it to a disc, and then upload it to the measuring system, or
you can retrieve the export file through the RFC connection. In both cases, you
must make sure that the age of the retrieved license data does not exceed the
maximum age that you set for license data.
• Content Server connected to an SAP system.
This section is only visible if Extended ECM is installed and Connection IDs
are maintained in the IMG activity.
Save your settings.
b. OpenText Products Sold by SAP That Have Been Licensed: Select if you
licensed OpenText Employee File Management (EFM) or OpenText Travel
Receipts Management for SAP Solutions (TRM). When you selected an
option, DocuLink projects that are recognized as EFM or TRM projects are
ignored when validating access permissions to DocuLink. In any case, TRM
or EFM DocuLink projects are listed in the license report.
Activate / deactivate
Activate or deactivate an SAP client or a Content Server. Inactive systems
are only visible in the list of inactive systems. They are not deleted,
though. Measurement data that has been uploaded to the inbox for that
system, is invisible when the system is inactive. It is available again once
you activate the system.
New system
Create a system connection manually. Alternatively, create a destination
through an RFC destination.
For this, you need the following information. Most of the SAP related
information are available in transaction SLICENSE. Content Server related
information are taken from the Maintain Extended ECM Connections
IMG activity.
Edit entry
Edit an entry.
a. Click Display Latest License Report to open the latest report in PDF
format.
When you create the export file, the remote system must be available through an
RFC connection. The export file will first be uploaded to the inbox and then can be
saved to the local file system.
File types – Measurement data for an SAP system consists of one XML file of file
type SA. Measurement data of a Content Server consists of two files: Content Server
license info of file type CL and Content Server users list of file type CU.
Tip: If the measured system has no connection to the system where you are
going to do the actual measurement, and you cannot create the export file from
remote, you can do the following: In the License Measurement Cockpit of the
measured system, create an entry for an active SAP Client, and then create the
export file and save it to the file system or portable disk. Then import it to the
inbox of the measuring system.
3. Select the system, for which you want to create the export file.
5. On the Servers and Inbox for Measurement tab, click Export to File
System.
7. After the import, select a directory to save the export file to.
If you exported measurement data from a Content Server, two files are saved:
First a file of file type CL with the Content Server license, and immediately after
that a file of file type CU with user information.
Overview list
On the Status and Result tab, you see the results of the consolidated measurement.
Total number or users, grouped by license type.
Compressed list
On the Consolidated Users tab, you see the Compressed User List of
Consolidation. Users from the measured systems are grouped to unique ID's and
properties. Duplicate users were identified by matching login names. Partition
suffixes of Content Server logins are ignored so that they match the SAP user IDs.
Example: User login on the SAP system is PETER, and user login on Content Server is
peter@partition. Both logins are consolidated into one count.
Column Count of grouped user IDs contains the number of different logins from
the measured systems that were mapped to one entry in the compressed user list.
Complete list
Click Change view and select Grouped users to view the Complete User List of all
Measured Systems.
Important
If the source system is an SAP Client users with classification types T for
technical users and X for specifically excluded users were not transferred. Also
not transferred are users with invalid Valid from or Valid To dates in the user
management.
Aside from detailed information about the measured system and the user, this list
also contains license type information and the number of days in which the user has
used functions of Archiving, Document Access or Extended ECM. This information
is relevant for users with a license type for occasional users. If this number exceeds
52, an issue is displayed.
In single source systems, a license type of Extended ECM is sufficient for usage of
Archiving, Document Access or Extended ECM; a license type for Document Access
is also sufficient for usage of Archiving.
At least in one of the measured systems, the user has accessed Archiving, Document
Access or Extended ECM functions on more than 52 days in the past year but none
of his license types is sufficient.
The license type is assigned to SAP logins by roles. Due to the role assignment, it can
occur that a role related to more than one license type is assigned to a user login.
Validation issue type CL occurs if licenses sold by OpenText and SAP are maintained
at the same time for the same user login and client.
ID Description
CL Users with an OpenText license and an SAP
license
Important
As the consolidation merges data of duplicate users, it may be that in some
cases issues that were seen in the single source systems disappear. In other
cases, it may be that new issues are raised.
Example: Content Server user hmueller@ECM has no license type assigned and issue XECM_
NO_LICENSE was indicated.
SAP user hmueller has license type SXECMF Extended ECM Full User sold by SAP and issue
CL was found.
After consolidation, both user entries were identified to belong to the same person. The
resulting license type of this unique user is SXECMF. Therefore the issue XECM_NO_LICENSE
is no longer valid, which means that issue CA_XECM will not be raised for that unique ID. But
issue CL persists and is indicated as the inconsistency between seller models could still be a
source of error.
For each user, the license type of the highest priority is obtained from the values of
authorization object J_6NLC_TYP authorization object assigned to this user:
In addition, the program checks for access permissions of the user based on other
authorization objects:
• if the user is allowed to access a product but the maintained license type is not
sufficient.
• if no license type was maintained for a user.
• if only the wildcard value * is assigned as a license type to a user.
License types for occasional usage are maintained when a user is accessing OpenText
applications only occasionally. This concerns, for example, ESS usage, usage as
Employee, or Web usage.
For license measurement, the maintained license type set in authorization object J_
6NLC_TYP is counted. At the same time, the access log entries not older than the
current date -1 year are cross checked in table /OTX/CL_T_ACCESS.
If the count of entries for a user login in a client is greater than 52, and the license
type is classified as a type for occasional usage, this causes a validation issue of type
CO.
Table 16-5: CO: Users with occasional license used the product on more than
52 days per year
ID Description
OARCO OpenText Archiving – Occasional User
OARCW OpenText Archiving – Web Named User
SARCW SAP Archiving by OpenText – User:
Employee, ESS User
The license type is assigned to SAP logins by roles. Due to the role assignment, it can
occur that a role related to more than one license type is assigned to a user login.
Validation issue type CL occurs if licenses sold by OpenText and SAP are maintained
at the same time for the same user login and client.
ID Description
CL Users with an OpenText license and an SAP
license
Data older than one year is not required and can be regularly deleted.
To delete log entries older than one year, run transaction se38 to start the
program /OTX/CL_MAINTAIN_ACCESS_LOG. It checks for ACTVT = 03 of
authorization object S_USER_GRP.
The data of this log table has no further relevance beyond license validation.
If on Content Server license types are assigned by group assignment, users can have
more than one license type assignment. If multiple license types are assigned to on
user, the most comprehensive license type is used.
XECM_NO_LICENSE
User has access permissions to use Extended ECM features on Content Server but
has no sufficient license type.
XECM_MAX_ACCESS_EXCEEDED
User has an “occasional” license type but has accessed Extended ECM functions on
Content Server on more than 52 days in the past year.
XECM_MULTIPLE_SELLERS
License types sold by OpenText (type O) are mixed with license types of SAP
reselling (type S).
Important
You can run the infrastructure diagnostic program after specifying at least the
Extended ECM connection in the Infrastructure section of the IMG.
