Sending a doc to DMS

Former Member — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:50:08 GMT

I need to send a document via web service to the DMS.

What standard bapi receives Xstring or file object and writes

it to the DMS (without using a specific path to the file system) ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Please check methods of object "DRAW" in SWO1 . Also, check the following link:

The only way I found is

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 gives you the document

call function 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'

exporting

documentdata = documentdata

importing

documenttype = dokar

documentnumber = doknr

documentpart = doktl

documentversion = dokvr

return = return.

and to upload/replace the file contents use something like this

data: ps_api_control type cvapi_api_control.

data: pt_files_x like cvapi_doc_file occurs 0 with header line.

data: pt_messages like messages occurs 0 with header line,

bapi_message like messages occurs 0 with header line.

ps_api_control-commit_flag = 'X'.

ps_api_control-save_flag = 'X'.

if not replace is initial.

call function 'CVAPI_DOC_GETDETAIL'

exporting

pf_batchmode = 'X'

pf_dokar = doctype

pf_doknr = docnr

pf_dokvr = docversion

pf_doktl = docpart

tables

pt_files = pt_files_x

exceptions

not_found = 1

no_auth = 2

error = 3

others = 4.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

replace = space.

endif.

if replace = space.

pt_files_x-dappl = dappl.

pt_files_x-storage_cat = storage_cat.

pt_files_x-filename = filename.

pt_files_x-description = filename.

pt_files_x-content_description = filename.

append pt_files_x.

endif.

call function 'CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN'

exporting

pf_dokar = doctype

pf_doknr = docnr

pf_dokvr = docversion

pf_doktl = docpart

pf_ftp_dest = 'SAPFTPA'

pf_http_dest = 'SAPHTTPA'

ps_api_control = ps_api_control

pf_replace = replace

pf_content_provide = 'TBL'

importing

psx_message = pt_messages

tables

pt_files_x = pt_files_x

pt_content = pt_content.

You need to move your xstring to an internal table pt_content.

Hh Alejandro

if I understand you correctly to upload a file (using only XTSRING)

I can use

call function 'CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN'

exporting

pf_dokar = doctype

pf_doknr = docnr

pf_dokvr = docversion

pf_doktl = docpart

pf_ftp_dest = 'SAPFTPA'

pf_http_dest = 'SAPHTTPA'

ps_api_control = ps_api_control

pf_replace = replace

pf_content_provide = 'TBL'

importing

psx_message = pt_messages

tables

pt_files_x = pt_files_x

pt_content = pt_content.

where in pt_content I put the xstring respresenting the file.

No, if you have an xstring you have to convert it into a dra0 structure..... like this for example. Also the first part of the previous code (fm CVAPI_DOC_GETDETAIL call) allows you to replace existing content in the dms document

assuming your content is included in lf_content

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_binary,

line(2550) TYPE x,

END OF t_binary.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE t_binary.

DATA: lf_content TYPE xstring,

lf_size TYPE i,

pt_content TYPE TABLE OF drao,

ls_drao TYPE drao,

lt_binary TYPE TABLE OF t_binary,

lf_size = XSTRLEN( lf_content ).

*Convert xstring to binary format

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING: buffer = lf_content

IMPORTING: output_length = lf_size

TABLES: binary_tab = lt_binary.

LOOP AT lt_binary ASSIGNING <fs>.

CLEAR ls_drao.

ls_drao-orblk = <fs>-line.

ls_drao-orln = lf_size.

APPEND ls_drao TO pt_content.

ENDLOOP.

Hi Alejandro

Sorry for my late reply.

As far as I understand this mechanism

is not suited for silent upload since it

uses the Upload/Download UI elements

where the user has to select the

file and the UI element passes the

data source (file object) to web dynpro.

For silent upload download I guess we have to

use ACFUploadDownload ....

No, you can run it in a batch mode, independently of the UI used, as far as you will be able to get the file information into a xstring. The user doesn't selects anything in the previous code. In fact I have a program running with a similar schema that performs batch upload of 5000 files each night.

I think I made myself misunderstood. What I am trying to

do is to silently

upload a file using web dynpro's ACFUPDOWNLOAD.

In the demo app I do not see how I get the XSTRING

representation of the file I just uploaded.

Further, although I managed to use ACF and I

get no error while uploading the file, it is not stored

on my KPRO.
