Distribution lists for send e-mail task

Hi Lisa,
Object interfaces use object-key to handle the key of the object they are
utilized from.
In this method, there is no key reference, so that should not matter too
much. In this case you need to use a method, because the method returns you
more than 1 output (in this case the email lists and the number of items
found).
To send an email to the SMTP email addresses, just create a send step
(automatic in version 46C), and assign the list in the address field. (If I
recall correctly, in earlier versions, you need to create a
SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION task, and use 'U' as email address type). Put
an if-test beforehand to test if there is actually an email address, using
the 'AgentsNumber' output (otherwise there will be an error at runtime when
the list is empty).
Good luck,
FH

Hi Felix,
I was able to get this working as a new method in a subtype object I am
using within my workflow. Thanks your help!
Now I think I should create it as an interface but I have no experience with
creating interface objects, what do I use for the key, what are the
attributes, do I use virtual attributes or a method and how do I include the
interface in an subtype object?
I also have not been able to figure out how to send mail to the e-mail
addresses (internet addresses) included in the distribution list, I am only
able to sent it to the Agents (SAP Userids) in the distribution list.
Thanks,
Lisa.

Hi Lisa,
It basically means you can stick this method on any object. When yo create
the method , tick the "instance independant" flag.
I suggest you create an interface type and assign it there. This way, using
object inheritance, you can get that method onto any object you work on.
Regards,
Felix

Hi David,
I also need to use Distribution lists to send e-mail tasks, so I was very
excited to see this answer, but I have one question as I have very little
experience at creating methods;
What Object would I use when creating the "object independent method" to
read in the DLI?
Thanks,
Lisa.

Hi David,
First create your DLI using the so15 transaction.
Then read the DLI using an object independent method. I have created one
recently, I am enclosing the code below.
That method reads 2 types of addresses within the DLI, the SAP internal
addresses (to send to workplace inbox mails) and external SMTP addresses
(Type U in SAP). It also sends the number of emails found for each list, so
that you can get that in a WF container variable and make a test on it.
I am sure there are other options to model this, this is one of them.
Hope this can help,
Regards,
Felix
