Send E-mail step using SAP distribution list?

[Cristiana D'Agosto]

Hi John,

there are an easy way of doing what you want to do!

In order that e-mails about pending work items may be sent from SAP to 
your e-mail system (i.e. Outlook, Lotus Notes), the following information 
is required in SAP:
- E-mail addresses of all users that should receive notifications 
maintained in User Master and set Comm. Meth to E-mail (INT).
- Use transaction SO16 (Shared Office Settings), tab Mail Sy.Grp and set 
it to "Send to home address of users". That way, e-mails will be sent to 
the user's default communication type and address in their user master 
(reset the address buffer on the tab page Adressing in order for address 
changes to become effective directly). The workflow will send an e-mail to 
an User ID, and if the user's default e-mail address is filled in and 
default communication type 'INT' set in the User Master, **all** emails 
are automatically redirected to the email address. 
- Schedule the report that sends notifications of pending work items 
(SWN_SELSEN or RSWUWFML2  - depending on which version you are using - for 
RSWUWFML2 , see notes 627397, 688712 and 691774 for details - These 
reports send e-mail about work items. They collect the required work items 
according to the category and filters. I know that RSWUWFML2 is available 
from 4.6c; and SWN_SELSEN is available from 6.40 (hmmm, perhaps it is 
available from 6.20!)
- Configure the SAP Connect module to be able to send Internet Mail. See 
transaction SCOT, and the corresponding Implementation Guides. Basis is 
generally responsible for this setting. 

Cheers

Cristiana

Send E-mail step using SAP distribution list?






Hello everyone, 
I'm relatively new to SAP workflow, so please forgive me if this is a 
stupid question? 
I'm trying to send an SAP 'express' e-mail notification in a workflow 
using the 'send mail' step. How can I use an SAP distribution list instead 
of a single e-mail address? All I really want to do is send an express 
message to let people know that they have a workflow task - for those 
people who do not normally perform workflow.
I've been searching, but all I found is some code for a creating an 
independent method using CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DLI_READ_API1' and then setting 
the AGENT container. Is it really that complicated, or am I missing 
something?
John
