SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1(suggested a while ago by Jocelyn Dart )

Wed Feb 11 19:14:15 EST 2004

Hi Monica,
You need to create a task and method to instantiate a SOFM object reference from
the folder number, document id, etc.  E.g. you could add a method to a delegated subtype of SOFM.

Then you can pass it to the "attachments" element of the selfitem.sendtaskdescription step.

Jocelyn

Hello all,

The mystery is solved- the reason I was not seeing the folder and the
documents with the workflow is because the task was background and the
workflow user then becomes  wf-batch and therefore the folder was created in
the wf-batch's inbox instead of mine.

When I was running the pgm - I was the user and I could see the folder in my
inbox.  Even though in my code, I enter the user name as myself - but for
some reason it takes wf-batch as the user when the code is part of the
workflow.

Now I need to move on to the next step.  Let me explain why I am doing all
this- I need to send an object as an attachment with the
selfitem-sendtaskdescription method.  I looked at the archives to find the
answer and some time ago Jocelyn Dart had suggested that you can insert the
document in the folder using the function module "SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API"
and then return the resulting document id as a SOFM object and pass it to
the sendtaskdescription step.

I am able to put the document in the folder as object in my outbox or inbox
but how do I return the resulting document id as a SOFM object.   In my code
I am importing the document_info into doc_info.  I am then getting the
doc_id out of doc_info.  But my question is how do I make this a SOFM OBJECT
and when I pass it to the sendtaskdescription step do I do the binding with
the attachment element.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1'
-------
IMPORTING
document_info = doc_info
----
-----
DOC_ID = DOC_INFO-DOC_ID.

Any help would be appreciated.  If you are reading this Jocelyn - then
please explain the final step.  You had suggested this solution in 2002 so
it is going back a while.

Thanks.

Regards,
Monica
