Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for transferring document attributes. Specifically, under the present invention, a change to an attribute corresponding to a document archived in a content storage system is received on an indexing system. In response to the change, an archival date corresponding to storage of the document in the content storage system is set to a current date. Also, a start date and an end date in an index transfer tool is set to the current date. Thereafter, the changed attribute is transferred to the content storage system based on a matching of the newly changed archival date with the set start and end dates.

Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, tool, and program product for storing a document in an enterprise software environment, such as SAP. Specifically, under the present invention, a hierarchical structure is provided for linking a business document. The hierarchical structure includes a plurality of levels that each represent a business entity level such as enterprise, company, customer, contract and revision. Additionally, standardized attributes may be chosen for association with the business document. The invention also provides a search engine for searching for a document that has previously been linked to the hierarchical structure. These searches may be performed using such factors as the level in the hierarchy and/or the specified attributes.
