Archiving

When an SAP user wants to archive a file (e.g., SAP print lists, spreadsheets, email, word processing, etc.), the user issues the archiving command from the SAP application server, which in turn sends the request and file name to the FDD Connector through a communication link. The FDD Connector retrieves the file and indexes it into FDD, where it is archived in an optical server.

When the SAP user needs to retrieve the file, a request is sent to the FDD Connector and the file is retrieved from FDD.

Barcoding

When an SAP user batch scans bar-coded paper documents using Feith VIP (Volume Image Processing), the imaged documents are automatically indexed and sent to a temporary bin in FDD. The FDD Connector bar code processor sweeps the documents out of the bin and into a permanent FDD file cabinet. Simultaneously, the FDD Connector sends the unique identifier for each document to the SAP application server to create a permanent reference to the document.

OLE Automation

OLE Automation is used for SAP client (front-end) users to scan, archive and display documents via the FDD client. The SAP user scans a document and the image is displayed in the FDD window. The user then clicks on an archive command button on the SAP client to archive the image through OLE automation. Similarly, previously archived documents can be viewed from the FDD client by clicking on a view command button in the SAP client.

To SAP customers considering installing document imaging and management technologies for their enterprises, the SAP certified FDD Connector is an ideal solution from Feith. This certification, combined with Feith's unmatched levels of customer service and personalized attention, makes Feith an attractive option to your company or organization seeking the benefits of imaging and document management.
