Hi,

Can you check if below code may be you can find the problem

data: i_files like bapifiles occurs 1 with header line,

i_signature like bapisignat occurs 1 with header line.

i_files-doc_count = '1'.

i_files-comp_count = '1'.

i_files-directory = 'C:\sappcadm'. "#EC NOTEXT

i_files-filename = 'BDSPRESENTATION.PPT'. "#EC NOTEXT

i_files-mimetype = 'PPT'.

append i_files.

i_signature-doc_count = '1'.

i_signature-prop_name = 'BDS_DOCUMENTTYPE'.

i_signature-prop_value = 'BUSTEST'.

append i_signature.

i_signature-prop_name = 'BDS_DOCUMENTCLASS'.

i_signature-prop_value = 'PPT'.

append i_signature.

call function 'BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF'

exporting

LOGICAL_SYSTEM =

classname = 'BUS0815'

classtype = 'BO'

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

object_key = '123'

IMPORTING
OBJECT_KEY =
return =

tables

files = i_files

the issue is

i_files-directory = 'C:\sappcadm'. "#EC NOTEXT

because my files are in a sap's directory for example /tmp

if I use the frontend directory it works fine

I think this FM works only for uploading files from presentation server, at least i could not get it to work for files on AL11. The workaround that i implemented is to download the file from AL11 to the PC using a FM, and then call the FM BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF to upload from the folder.

I know this is a very crude method, but i didnt find any other solution. If you come across anything better, do share it on the forum, will help all of us
