Issue with characters in file and folder names

Connection to SharePoint Online/O365 does not currently support the ResourcePath APIs to allow "%" and "#" characters in file and folder names.

Issue with "Version" column in non-English deployments

On Document Management for SAP versions prior to version 5.4, if a non-English SharePoint system is being used in an environment, Document Management for SAP expects the English "Version" column when retrieving document properties, not a "Version" column in another language.
Workaround: If a non-English configuration names this column with the non-English language translation, a SharePoint "Version" column should be manually created.

Issues with Document Management for SAP not restarting

If you change the Configuration Service URL in the Open Configuration dialog of the Configuration Service, Document Management for SAP will not restart when connecting with the Configuration Service after establishing an initial connection.
Workaround: Restart Document Management for SAP.

Duplicate HTTP response headers being created

When each of the four Document Management for SAP components (Configuration Service, Connector Service, Document Management for SAP Enterprise, and Document Tracking Service) are installed in IIS, an HTTP response header is created at the application level with the following values: Name = X-UA-COMPATIBLE, Value="IE=Edge". If the IIS site that the application is deployed to also has an HTTP Response header with the same name, an error will occur.
Workaround: Either remove the HTTP response header from the IIS site or remove it from all four applications.

Document Management for SAP installation issue

Installing Document Management for SAP to a site without a binding results in an auto-index error, and a failed installation.
Workaround: Ensure that the sites listed in IIS Connections panel have a binding assigned to them.

Event logging issue

In some cases, logging information may not display in the Document Management for SAP folder under the Applications and Services Logs section of the Windows Event Viewer.
Workaround: If you don't find the logging information in the Document Management for SAP folder, check the Application option under the Windows Logs folder.

Scan.Link is ignoring the minimum age value

When you add a document to your SharePoint document library (which is set up for Scan.Link) the Scan.Link timer task monitors and indexes files based on interval timing rather than item minimum age in SSOM mode.

Generic Object Services (GOS) Indexing Issue

In the previous version of Document Management for SAP (v5.0) Auto.index for GOS would retrieve links for business objects when the Archive ID was only two characters long. Links with longer archive IDs would not be matched to the Auto.index configurations for those content repositories.
Workaround: Document Management for SAP v5.1 has a workaround for this limitation by matching the object link archival ID against the first two letters of the configured archive ID. As a configuration's archive ID first two letters match the link table's archive ID, that configuration will be processed for Auto.index.This also means that multiple Auto.index configurations may be processed against the same GOS link entry, if the first two letters of a configuration match. Since only one content repository is used for GOS, this will probably not be an issue.

Document Tracking Service (DTS) issue with column size

For GOS and Document Management Service (DMS) documents, certain DTS columns may not be large enough to contain the full path or file name for the document.
Workaround: In this case, the URL and Key3 columns can be updated to be longer without impacting Document Management for SAP behavior. Note: To update these columns, use a SQL Server query or use SQL Server Management Studio. Consult your Database Administrator.

Auto.index timeout issue

If Auto.index is used in conjunction with a Document Management for SAP GOS content repository, there will be a greater probability of experiencing timeouts when receiving the Auto.index information from SAP if the attachments are created from the Attachment List dialog.
This is because while the documents are created in Document Management for SAP immediately after submitting a file, the links in SAP aren't created until after the attachment list dialog is confirmed by pressing the green checkbox button. If the confirmation button isn't pressed in time, Auto.index will timeout while looking for the link of the attachment.
Workaround: Use the "Create Attachment" menu choice from the GOS toolbar and not from the attachment list.

Revision history not retained

The revision history of a document routed by Auto.index is not retained when using CSOM mode.
Workaround: Configure Document Management for SAP Document Service Modules to use SSOM mode.

Scan.Link cannot be used for creating links to SAP KPro implementations (DMS DIR Originals, SAPOffice Attachments and BDS)

KPro requires documents to be uploaded to the SAP Application Server; link cannot be created remotely.
Workaround: Use ArchiveLink to link documents.

When deleting GOS attachments (SAPOffice Documents), SAP only removes links, it doesn't issue a delete command to content repository.

When archiving documents using GOS Attachment, if a document reference is deleted from a business object, the document is NOT deleted from the SharePoint library.
Workaround: Manually delete the document from the SharePoint library.

Destination Library in routing section displays all available site libraries.

User could select a library location that might not be configured for the content repository.
Workaround: Ensure that you select the correct library.
