Opening of attached documents to EPC models in ARIS Business Publisher.

Hello Shameem!

What profile do you use for publishing?

Hello Mariya,

I created a 'test' profile containing all of the following:

Name:
  Publisher Export Profile

Description:
  Created by SHAETO on 23.09.2009

Use print scale:
  Yes

Initial scaling:
  100

Scalings:
  25
  50
  75
  125
  150
  200
  225

Black and white:
  No

Transparent:
  No

Model sorting:
  Sort ascending

Object sorting:
  Sort ascending

Attribute sorting:
  Sort by method

Link attributes:
  System attribute 'Link 1': Yes
  System attribute 'Link 2': Yes
  System attribute 'Link 3': Yes
  System attribute 'Link 4': Yes
  User attribute 'Link 1': Yes
  E-mail address: Yes
  Home page: Yes
  Picture: Yes
  User attribute 'Link 2': Yes
  User attribute 'Link 3': Yes
  User attribute 'Link 4': Yes
  User attribute 'Link 5': Yes
  User attribute 'Link 6': Yes
  SAP user attribute 'Link 1': Yes
  SAP user attribute 'Link 2': Yes
  SAP user attribute 'Link 3': Yes
  SAP user attribute 'Link 4': Yes
  SAP user attribute 'Link 5': Yes
  Reference (link): Yes
  System attribute 'DMS link 1': Yes
  System attribute 'DMS link 2': Yes
  System attribute 'DMS link 3': Yes
  System attribute 'DMS link 4': Yes

Copy documents:
  Yes

Temporary file names:
  Yes

Then I used the "System attribute 'Link 1" to insert the path where the PDF is kept.

Moreover I discovered something. As I am also our MS SharePoint Admin, I created a library in SharePoint where I kept all the PDF. Strange enough when I call for the PDF from ABP, the right document is displayed. Meaning there must be something wrong with the repository where I kept the PDF before. But what I see strange is that the folder in which I kept the PDF at start, is a shared one with full access to 'Everybody'.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Shameem

Thanks for your 

Hello Shameem.

Since you are publishing with "yes" in the "copy document" parameter, the system will transfer your PDF file to the same area as the Business Publisher Data. You probably have no access rights to that area. Now you have 2 options:

1 - Establish the correct rights for the Business Publisher Data area or

2- Set the parameter in the profile to "no" and the system will access the PDF from the original lopcation.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
