BAPI for DMS

[Former Member]

How do I update DMS characterstic values?

I tried using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2, but the characterstic value is not getting updated.

Does anyone have a working example of how to use the BAPI to update Document characterstic values?

Thanks in advance, for your help.

Hello

Have you called BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after successfully calling BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 ?

Yes, the commit was performed after the successful execution of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 and the characteristicvalues table was populated. No data was updated.

If someone has successfully updated characteristicvalues via BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2, can you provide some example code ?

Hello Trupti

I am not using the BAPI_DOCUMENT CHANGE2 but I am creating new DMS document using the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CERATE2 and it does the work.

Here is the code I am using. I hope that can help to compare with BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2.

****** Key fields of the document
  DATA: lf_doctype    LIKE bapi_doc_aux-doctype, " bapi_doc_draw2-documenttype,
        lf_docnumber  LIKE bapi_doc_aux-docnumber, " bapi_doc_draw2-documentnumber,
        lf_docpart    LIKE bapi_doc_aux-docpart, " bapi_doc_draw2-documenttype,
        lf_docversion LIKE bapi_doc_aux-docversion. " bapi_doc_draw2-documenttype.
******  Originals that are checked in simultaneously
  DATA: lt_files LIKE bapi_doc_files2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
        lt_drat  LIKE bapi_doc_drat   OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,   "   Short texts
        lt_drad  LIKE bapi_doc_drad   OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,   " Object links
        lt_charact LIKE bapi_characteristic_values OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
***** Allcoate document data
  ls_doc-documenttype   = P_dokar.
  ls_doc-documentnumber = p_doknr.
  ls_doc-documentversion = '00'.
  ls_doc-documentpart = '000'.
  ls_doc-statusintern = 'FR'.   " Status Release
  ls_doc-statuslog = 'Your text'.
  ls_doc-wsapplication1 = 'ACR'.  " Adobe PDF file to upload
***** Check in original 1 simultaneously in the SAP Database
  REFRESH lt_files.
  CLEAR lt_files.
***** Short texts
  CLEAR lt_drat.
  REFRESH lt_drat.
***** English short text
  lt_drat-language = 'EN'.
  lt_drat-description = 'YOURDESCRIPTION'.
  APPEND lt_drat.
** Characteristics
  lt_charact-classtype = p_ctype. " Classifiaction - Class Type
  lt_charact-classname = p_cname. " Classification - Assignments Class
  lt_charact-charname  = p_name.  " Classification - Characteristic Description
  lt_charact-charvalue = p_value. " Classification - Characteristic value
  APPEND lt_charact.

** Create document
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'
  EXPORTING: documentdata = ls_doc
  IMPORTING: documenttype = lf_doctype
                      documentnumber = lf_docnumber
                      documentpart = lf_docpart
                      documentversion = lf_docversion
                      return = return
  TABLES: documentdescriptions = lt_drat
                documentcharacteristicvalues = lt_charact.

If filling the characteristic table doresn't work, there are only possibilities.

1. The information pass to the table is not right

2. There is a bug into the BADI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2
