Attachments to SapOffice mails

[Vinod Ramchandani]

Hi Angelo..
 
Please try the following.
>> Use the MESSAGE Business object and use the ATTACH method of the object.
 
Run-time attaching the documents to the business object is quite complex
chain of operations...
When we are attaching the documents using "Generic Business Object Services
(gos)" or "SAP Business Workplace",
attachment documents are stored into the Content Server via BDS-Business
Document Services.
 
You will never find attachment objects' link in the Business Object
Attribute or anywhere in the Business Object.
I was not able to attach them with sofm previously.
But I hope with message it should work.
Try out and let me know/I was come across similar problem when i was trying
to carry the attachment(s) from the "workitem of the previous workflow
instance" to the "workitem of the new workflow instance" via Background Task
using Bindings.
 
Thank you.
 
Regards,
Vinod Ramchandani.

Subject: Attachments to SapOffice mails
 
 
Hi all...
 
We are in 4.5B
 
We wanto to send a SapOffice-mail with an attachment.
 
We are using a  task with SELFITEM-SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method.
 
In workflow we have a dialog task (SOFM-CREATE method) for creating the
Office Document and  we subsequently bind the B.O. SOFM with parameter
_ATTACH_OBJECTS of the task for sending mail.
 
The mail  correctly arrives in SapOffice, but without attachment.
 
In workflow log we see the binding is correct.
 
 
Any advice on the approach would be welcomed.
 
Many thanks
Angelo.
