A simple question why did you use GUI_UPLOAD/GUI_DOWNLOAD..? I would request you to search on SCN convert OTF data to binary data etc using CL_BCS class method. You just have to use. Please search for the same

Hello Nabheet,

Thanks for quick reply. I have used GUI_UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD to check whether PDF conversion is correct or not. If you see just below this code I have used 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY' and passed it to CONTENT_HEX but not worked. Even I used CONVERT_OTF and passed the result to 'DOCUMENTCONTENT' but not worked. I mean I could able to attach but PDF getting corrupted in the email. If you have please send me sample code for attaching PDF to workflow container.

Regards,

Suresh

Hi,

After analysing your code. In the FM : GUI_DOWNLOAD. Instead of 'BIN', try : 'RAW'.

Hope this should take care of your issue.

Hi Prabhu,

First convert the PDF to string format by using function module CONVERT_OTF then get the attachment id with function module 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD' by passing the work item id and pdf in string format.

write above steps inside an activity step with import parameter ‘I_WORKITEMID’ and export parameter ‘E_ATTCHID’.

In next activity step with the attachment id generate the object instance of attachment by using method ‘GENERICINSTANTIATE’ of business object ‘SYSTEM’. This instance is of type ‘SOFM’, and in decision step to have the PDF in attachment format pass this instance to container element ‘ATTACHMENTS’ of send mail step.

Deb

Hi Deb,

thanks alot for your quick guidance,

I have completed the workflow without using CONVERT_OTF.

1. I have created adobe form in SFP,

2. created report to display adobe form,

3. Once execute report , an workflow will trigger and mail will go with attachment to respective manager for approval .

Best Regards,

Prabhu. Pole
