Send mail step

Fri Feb 29 09:59:54 EST 2008

Hi Ashish

Have you thought of using a workflow exit? It saves creating a step. Here's an example that takes "Recipient" as a userID from the workflow container element, but you can use something else to cross check your custom table.

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 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

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.
