Send mail to multiple users

Former Member — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 06:59:14 GMT

Dear all,

I'm using FM 'EFG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL' to send an Email, for a single user its working fine, but I want to know is it possible sending the same mail to multiple users with the same FM, I searched the forum for the same & ended up finding no satisfying results. Using FM ''SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' we can attain this but I want to know if it is possible with the former FM.

Thanks & Regards

Ajai

Hi,

It is not possible to send mail to multiple users using FM 'FG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL' . Please use FM ''SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send mail.

Thanks & Regards

Rocky Agarwal

Former Member — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 08:04:41 GMT

Dear Rocky Agarwal,

I tried using the FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' but was not sent to the ID's..is there any additional settings to be done for using this particular FM??

Dear Abapuser,

It is I_TAB_LINES that is there inside the Tables parameter which is for forming the body of the Email & not for the Address of recipients if I'm not wrong please check.

Re: Send mail to multiple users

former_member188827 — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 08:11:05 GMT

im not talking about i_tab_lines .im suggesting the second Tables parameter which is I_TAB_RECIPIENTS.if you cant see it in your code go to se37 and check Tables interface.Its there as optional Parameter.

CALL FUNCTION 'EFG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL'

EXPORTING

i_title = 'test'

I_SENDER = SY-UNAME

i_recipient = 'ABAP'

I_FLG_COMMIT = 'X'

I_FLG_SEND_IMMEDIATELY = 'X'

I_FLG_SENDER_IS_UNAME =

tables

i_tab_lines = i_tab_lines

I_TAB_RECIPIENTS = rece......................>check this

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_QUALIFIED = 1

FAILED = 2

OTHERS = 3

EFG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL does not have a table parameter i_tab_recipients. EFG_GEN_SEND_EMAIL can not send to multiple recipients.

But this FM is just a wrapper for a call of several BCS classes. As there is not business logocal behind its easy to write an own Fm or even mothod which is doing exactly the same and is able to send to multiple recipients.

As you can see there is no logic with the recipient string:

l_smtp_addr = i_recipient.
      l_rcl_recipient =
         cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( l_smtp_addr ).

*     add recipient with its respective attributes to send request
      l_rcl_send_req->add_recipient( l_rcl_recipient ).

So even recipients divided by semicolon are not taken into effect.

I would write my own stuff for that.

hi,

use below code to send mail to more than one

*For To Address

i_reclist-receiver = '1stmailid'.

i_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.

APPEND i_reclist.

*For Copy Address

i_reclist-receiver = '2ndmailid.com'.

i_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.

i_reclist-copy = 1.

APPEND i_reclist.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = wa_doc_chng

put_in_outbox = 'X'

commit_work = 'X'

TABLES

packing_list = i_objpack

object_header = wa_objhead

contents_bin = i_objbin

contents_txt = i_objtxt

receivers = i_reclist

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

document_type_not_exist = 3

operation_no_authorization = 4

parameter_error = 5

x_error = 6

enqueue_error = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

There's nothing like a I_TAB_RECIPIENTS in this FM,

I think I should go with the other FM.

Is there any other possibilities people??

Re: Send mail to multiple users

Former Member — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:35:40 GMT

Hi Ajay,

For your requirement, plz use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

GO to SE37 and enter this FM, already a sample code is available at FM documentation.

Copy it to your program, and test with multiple mail ID's. It will work.

Thanks.

Hi Ajay,

Normally if a mail needs sent to multiple people, it is better to have a Distribution list created and use this distribution list to send an email out. This also helps in maintainability of the list in case new people need added later.

Chen

Rocky thanks a lot..it helped..but I'm getting a warning message in sost Waiting for Communications Service.

And the mail is not delivered. What could be the problem? Any idea?

Re: Send mail to multiple users

Former Member — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:20:27 GMT

Ajay,

Have you received msg no 637. If so, then the SAPconnect, transaction SCOT needs to be configured.

Ask your basics team to do the necessary configurations.

Thanks.

Re: Send mail to multiple users

Hi Ajay,

All mails will be delivered after some time. Don't worry. It is waiting for communications service to process all mail.

Thanks & Regards
