Send mail step

Fri Feb 29 06:13:37 EST 2008

Hi Ashish,

    Its a custom FM and not a standard FM so it wont make sense for me
to give to the name of the FM because I created it and will not be
available in your system.  You have to create a Function Module using
SE37 instead of your report and add your logic for fetching email
addresses.  Then create your BOR method using this FM.  

    I think you must go through some basic documentation of how to use a
BOR method and how to bind values from the workflow to the method.  As
of now, Create input and output parameter for the method linked to the
FM and then pass values from and to the Standard Task by binding the
variables.

HI Vinod

thanks once again for the reply,can you please tell me which custom FM u
used for ur purpose,in my case i have enhanced my object type and
created a new method which will serve my purpose and rest of the part is
same as u r saying,in my case i am retrieving email id from table
AD_SMTPADR,but i have one problem with the method i have created ,i get
the value into the container of method,but can u please tell me how
should i set the value which i am getting when giving the input.

i am using a report in the method so that whenever i give customer id i
will get his/her email id ,the entries of which i have maintained in my
Z table.

please clear as much as possible

thanks once again

	Hi Ashish,

	1.  I have been using a custom FM so far.  May be relevant for
you too because i believe these email ids are being stored in some
custom table in your case. 
	     Do let me know if there is a method that works better and
gives better efficiency.  

	2.  u need to create a BOR method using this FM... bind the
import export parameters of the method. Create a task. Then bind the
workflow and the task parameters.   

	Hope this helps.

	hi vinod

	thanks for the reply,yeah it was relevant ,one more thing i want
to ask if you could please explain:

	1. how to fetch those email ids to internal table,do i need to
make my own function module 
	    or is there any standard like rh_get_structure i can use.

	2. secondly,how to pass this internal table to workflow
container.

	if you can please explain these steps,i have a little confusion
over it .

	thanks a lot

	regards

		Hi Ashish,

		give the recipient type as U (email address) in the mail
tab of the send mail step.

		you can fetch email addresses in an internal table and
pass it to the workflow container.

		this table can be passed as expression and the email
will go to the external email ids.  

		please let me know if this solution was relevant to your
question.
