Former Member — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:03:59 GMT

Hi All.

We are sending emailsfor tickets and we have used smartforms for the content of the mail.

Now we have a requirement that the attachments of the ticket also have to be attached in the emails as a link.

Is it possible to add attachments in smartforms or attachments as link in smartform.

Thanks and Regards,

Akshatha

Hi,

You can save the tickets as an bitmap image and upload the image in sap (tcode SE78).

Then in smartforms create a Graphic using this bmp image.

Vinod

Hi,

I think for this you can use Adobeforms (Interactive)...

Since in SAMRTFORMS you cna't interact it means you cant do any events like clicking on links and all..

I am sending the attachment as URL(hyperlink) in smartform and it goes in the mail as a URL attached.

When i click on the URL the attachment gets displayed in the browser .

The problem is PDF,JPG,JPEG,BMP files are getting displayed in the browser correctly but

XLS,DOC,PPT,TXT do not get displayed in correct format.

XLS and TXT files get displayed continuously without any space.

How to display XLS,DOC,PPT,TXT files in browser in correct format

Thanks and Regards,

Akshatha

Do you add a URL in your mail which links to SAP and displays the smart form, or is the smart form attached as PDF?

How do you create URLs to the GIF, XLS, etc. documents? What ITS services do you trigger?

I don't know this function module, and what kind of storage is behind. If the problem is with storage behind URL, I can't help.

But maybe it's the mime type which is wrong (as you use IE). Could you check it. As I don't know the system you use, you may find mime types in these tables: SDOKMIME, BWWF_MIME.

Test attaching one kind of document, for example powerpoint, and try to define these mime types in the tables above: application/vnd.ms-application, application/mspowerpoint, application/vnd.ms-application

What do you mean by mime is correct? (for example, in my case, I personally had problems in some SAP applications when adding attachment to SRM using application/ms-powerpoint or application/mspowerpoint; only application/vnd.ms-application worked!)

Could you show examples: could you explain exactly what happens when you click the url? what is rendered on the screen? could you paste the complete url?

Thx!

The mime type i am using is "application/vnd.ms-excel".

The URL it generates for excel document is as follows.

On click of this URL it asks for login details in DS! to display the attachment.

Hi,

Use class 'CL_CRM_DOCUMENTS' and method 'SEND_DOCUMENTS' to send the attachment in mail

Thanks
