SAPoffice: Excluding Certain Document Categories (Administration Function) 

Description

You can exclude certain document categories from processing.
You have the following options in this case:

• you can generally forbid the document category
  Effect:
  Documents of a forbidden type must not reach the system (neither by creating, uploading, nor by external receiving of messages).

• you can only allow processing by download
  Effect:
  Documents of a type, which can only be processed by download, cannot be displayed or modified in the corresponding editor. Instead, a message informs you that processing is only possible by download.

This has the following uses:

• You can use this option to prevent, for example, EXE files via SAPoffice reaching your R/3 System.
  Do not forget to also forbid BIN type files since this file type can also contain EXE files.

• You can only offer runtime-intensive document categories (that is, document categories with on average very large files) via download. This prevents users starting a lengthy display by inadvertently double-clicking.

System administration changes

You exclude document categories in the following way:

1. Choose System -> Services -> Table maintenance.

2. Enter tsope.

3. Choose Table -> Maintain.

4. Enter the required document categories.

The table is client-specific, that is, you can decide what is forbidden and what is allowed for each client.
