To activate this functionality you have to maintain some necessary customizing entries in transaction SPRO under Cross-Application Components - Document Management - General Data - Set Up Workstation Application for Thumbnails (Images). Here you can maintain the relevant application in relation to specific document types. Please note that it is also very important to maintain a sequence. This sequence controls which filetypes are displayed as thumbnails. Only the first application of this sequence is used as thumbnail picture. In the standard system behavior the fileformats JPG and BMP are supported. For using further formats for thumbnail display, you have to convert them. Under Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) - BAdI: Enhancements for Thumbnails (Images) you will find some BADIs for this conversion.

What are Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets)
BC Set is a management tool that allows user to record, save and share customization settings. BC sets are snapshot of customization settings that can be used later as template or customization backup. BC sets can also be used in group rollouts where the customization settings can be compiled for pilot and passed on in a structured way to other rollout locations. SAP also provides pre packaged BC sets for selected industry sectors.
When BC Set is created, values from original customizing tables are copied into BC Set. When you activate this BC set in other system the values stored in BC sets are copied to corresponding customizing tables of the system. The settings in the BC set can be compared with system data to check the consistency of data

Benefits of BC sets
1. Store customization settings backup
2. Useful in Template Rollouts
3. Efficient Change Management
Types of BC Sets
There are two types of BC sets e.g. Simple BC Set and Hierarchical BC Set
1. Simple BC Set - BC set contains data from customizing table rows and columns. There is no limitation on the size of BC Set. BC set can contain data from one or more IMG activities
2. Hierarchical BC Set - Hierarchical BC set consists of other BC sets which can be simple BC Sets or Hierarchical BC Sets. They represent hierarchy of BC sets.

Before activation, following standard functionalities are available
- Display
- Consistency Check
- Key Conflict Check
- Compare with Customizing Tables
- BC Set/ BC Set Comparison
It is a good practice to do the checks to avoid errors in customizing tables. BC sets can be activated if there is no production client in system
1. From SAP Easy Access Menu, Tools -> Customizing -> Business Configuration Sets -> Activation of BC Sets (Transaction Code SCPR20)
2. Enter the name of the BC Set and select Activate from Menu
3. Provide Customizing Request
The following message is displayed
'Caution You have started the BC Set activation If you continue, new data records will be created and/or existing ones overwritten'
4. Various activation options are available, choose appropriate and to proceed with the activation, choose Continue.

5. BC Set is active and BC set data is stored in customization tables
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataWith the upgrade to ECC 6.0 Document Browser and ACL Authorization come as new features in the standard of the Document Management System. Please note that these new functionalities depend on the activation of the EA-PLM Extension. This extension is included in the PLM package in the standard.
ACL Authorizations:
Since the upgrade a new tab is inserted in transactions CV01N, CV02N and CV03N which is called 'Authorization'. With this tab it is possible to add specific authorizations for this document regarding user or usergroups. The default authorization which is created for the user is 'ADMIN' authorization. This means the highest level of authorization for this document. Further possible authorization are for example READ, DELETE, WRITE and so on.
In transaction SE80 you can check the new package CVEXT which is responsible for the authorizations. The database table which is handling the different authorizations is called DMS_GUID. As this authorization concept is used more common with EasyDMS, the documentation is also situated in the EasyDMS area under SAP ERP Central Component - Cross-Application Components - Document Management - Document Management - Authorization Objects for Documents - Access Management Using Access Control Lists.
Document Browser:
The new Document Browser functionalities should enable the user to navigate more easier within the different document info records. Therefore the new button 'Document Select via' was implemented in transaction CV01N, CV02N, CV03N. With this button the user is able to choose between different display behaviours in these DMS transaction. By using the setting 'Selection Screen' the well known screen is used and the user has to enter document number, type, part and version to get the document detail view. If the user selects the setting 'Browser' the new display behavior is used.
With this new function a navigation tree is displayed like in the Windows Explorer. When the user selects this display behavior for the first time the system asked him to create a so called PRIVATE FOLDER. This is very similar to EasyDMS. In the end there should exist one PRIVATE and one PUBLIC folder. More information could be found in the Online Documentation under SAP ERP Central Component - Cross-Application Components - Document Management - Document Management -Document Browser.

Thumbnails:
The thumbnail functionality enables the user to display small thumbnails of the originals in transaction CV02N, CV03N and CV04N.
To activate this functionality you have to maintain some necessary customizing entries in transaction SPRO under Cross-Application Components - Document Management - General Data - Set Up Workstation Application for Thumbnails (Images). Here you can maintain the relevant application in relation to specific document types. Please note that it is also very important to maintain a sequence. This sequence controls which filetypes are displayed as thumbnails. Only the first application of this sequence is used as thumbnail picture. In the standard system behavior the fileformats JPG and BMP are supported. For using further formats for thumbnail display, you have to convert them. Under Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) - BAdI: Enhancements for Thumbnails (Images) you will find some BADIs for this conversion.
In transaction CV04N you can switch between the standard result list display or the new display with thumbnails. Therefore the button 'Display Document as' was created. With this button the user can choose the new result display with thumbnails.
For implementing a customizing functionality to turn on and off the new tab for ACLs and Document Browser see SAP note 1062939 which explains the necessary steps for this. Since Support Package 11 for Release ERP 2005 is implemented you can just use transaction DCSWI for customizing this new functions.
