Integrating ILM with Open Text using SRS Store Service
There are very few information resources available on Integration details of ILM with Web-DAV compliant third party storage providers. In this blog i will detail the integration details of connecting SAP ILM with Open Text based Web DAV Storage. The SRS( Storage Retention Service) is an SAP Service provided to help SAP ILM Enabled AS-ABAP system to communicate with ILM Certified WebDAV Storage providers. SAP also provides a java based service called XML DAS but it needs a SAP Java platform to integrate SAP ILM and ILM certified WebDAV Storage Providers
Enabling SRS Service
The Storage and Retention Service runs on AS-ABAP and helps to control all transactions triggered in SAP System (enabled for ILM) in conjunction with the ILM-Store(Open Text or Any Third Party ECM ).
To activate SRS on the SAP ILM System (Retention System or Warehouse) we have to goto transaction SARA and choose customizing as shown below.
Now choose Technical Settings as shown below
Choose option local to activate it .The option local means that the current SAP system contains the SICF service for SRS activated.
Activate SICF Service SRS as shown below on the ILM enabled System.
Connecting SRS Service with ILM Storage using RFC
To enable SRS to communicate with Open Text Enterprise Library we need to establish an RFC Connection via transaction code SM59 of Type G.
Now provide user name and password in logon and security tab and choose Special Options as shown below
Now perform a connection test you should get a successful response code .
Registering the ILM Store in SAP ILM
To register the Open Text based ILM Store in SAP we have to first activate SICF service required for ILMSTOREADM transaction. Activate in SICF as shown below.
Now execute tcode ILMSTOREADM and create an entry and save it. When you save it ,the connection will be tested to the store by using the RFC Connection we created earlier .If there are errors the SM59 Connection was not created properly and has to be corrected.
The integration is now completed between SAP ILM and Open Text.
Hi Vasudevan,
Thanks for the steps to integrate ILM with OT. But can you please provide any pre steps in ILM.

Hi Vasu
Thanks for sharing. We have a similar setup as well. However when we try execute the test program (RILM_STOR_TEST_PF_SINGLE), it fails with errors. We can see that the folders are getting created. However the file is not stored in the storage and we get error during the PUT command.
Have you faced this?

Hello Guys,
Have this Issue solved...
Even i am facing the issue. While registering SRS Configuration
RFC connection test is fine. But while registering facing "404: Connection is broken"
Thanks for the information regarding the establishment of connection between the WEBDAV ILM enabled storage system and SAP. When I went to set up the connection I encountered issues. Could you share the location of any documentation that details the Path Prefix and the Switch Framework components required to use ILM?
Hello Experts,
I am facing same issue with PUT command getting 500 internal server error.Can you please help on this.
Hi All,
We are also trying to setup ILM with open text document access. Can someone help me to point out the steps ? Also have you all setup ILM store in a separate netweaver system or inside the source system itself?
Regard,
Amit
Hello Experts,
I am also trying to setup ILM store with open text archive center.
RFC connection test is successful. But while archiving data(ex: MM_MATNR), facing error:
"HTTP 404: Not found".
Thanks,
Anusha.
