Where have all the folders gone?

[Veit Unger]

Hi Mike,

I remember having read all kinds of sofm documents in a CRM system with 
cl_document_bcs using the method "getu_instance_by_key" ignoring any 
eventual folder information.

Maybe that works for you, too.


kind regards,
Veit

Where have all the folders gone?






Hello Wuggers,

Question about the difference between SOFM and the newer BCS classes (620
here):

Traditional SOFM attachments use folders within SapOffice. For various
reasons I am avoiding SOFM and using CL_DOCUMENT_BCS instead. However SOFM
stores it's documents in a folder and BCS stuff doesn't (although it once
did).

This is still fine when we create an attachment using BCS: Simply attach
it to WF as a SOFM object with a blank folder in the key and all works as
it should.

The other way round this is a problem: if an attachment is created
manually or by WF then this is done using SOFM (at least here on 620)
which will create it in a folder.
This is bad, because CL_DOCUMENT_BCS doesn't use folders, so the
SOFM-created attachment cannot be read using BCS. Some old code is still
in CL_DOCUMENT_BCS which *used to* work the same as SOFM but this has been
commented out.

This is creating a really annoying inconsistency around a simple piece of
functionality - has anyone had to deal with this before?

Any input appreciated,
Mike
