send mail with attached objects

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

Hi Daviel,
 
Here is an old email that Jocelyn Dart (thanks Jocelyn!) sent me a =
while
back regarding this issue.

Hi Alon,
There are a series of API function modules for SAPOffice that you can
use to do this. e.g. SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API.
 
You need as a minimum a folder, the document type and the document =
data.
 
For an object the document type is OBJ.
 
Fill the document_data parameter, field description with the title of =
the
document.
 
Fill the object_header table, add a row with object type and object key
using structure SOXOBJ.    (You can specify a method - if you don't it =
will
use the default method, usually "display").
 
You need to put the document in a folder, if you use fm =
SO_USER_READ_API1
with user-sapname =3D their R/3 userid, it will return the folders =
(inbox,
outbox, private) for that user in the correct format. I'd suggest =
putting
it in their private folder.
 
To use it in workflow you'll need to include it in a method
- I'd suggest creating a subtype of SOFM and delegating it.
 
Then you can return the resulting document id as a SOFM object, and =
pass it
to
your sendtaskdescription step.

Subject: SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION
 
 
Hi Everyone,
 
I am trying to attach a business object to a mail which I am generating =
from
a workflow. I am binding the object to the ADHOC_OBJECTS but when the =
mail
is received no attachment is found. I tried binding the business object =
to
the ATTACHMENTS element but ATTACHMENTS must be of type SOFM. I tried
somehow attaching my buiness object to a SOFM object but still no luck
there.
 
If I change the method from SENDTASKDESCRIPTION to =
DISPLAYTASKDESCRIPTION
and bind through my object into the ADHOC_OJBECT then this works. =
However,
the workflow will not COMPLETE until the user executes the task if I =
use
DISPLAYTASKDESCRIPTION. I would much prefer to use SENDTASKDESCRIPTION.
 
Your assistance is appreciated.
