EMAIL

[Former Member]

How does the email work for external users? Where do I add external users? Does SAP support this or we need a software to do this?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Dependend on your Release check the classes :

• cl_Bcs

• cl_Document_Bcs

• cl_Cam_Address_Bcs (=>c_Address_Type_Smtp() )

or the fuba

• 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

and their usage so far.

Kind Regards

Recipient type should to U for external users as well.

Thanks for replying but this does not help me much. The classes does not exists on our system or maybe i'm looking on a wrong place.Please guide on how to check for this.

Also, do we need to install sendmail for us to be able to send emails to external users?

please help.

Thanks

What release are you on? The process for the setup of E-Mail is VERY different depending upon release - 46x or 620. It is very much simplier in 620. Also have a look at OSS Note 312690. it is composite note with links to lots of good information on SAPConnect, SAP Internet Mail Gateway. Have a look at note 455140 if you are on 620.

You can use function module SO_OBJECT_SEND with RECEIVERS be filled against fields RECESC (= 'U') and RECEXTNAM (= <mail address>). This will send it to the SAP Gateway but from there to send it out - you need to configure SAPConnect (SCON) which is very simple. As some one suggesting - go through the documentation or the OSS notes...

Thanks

Hello,

here is a code-snippet:

Interface of this method:

Importing RECIPIENT TYPE STRING Importing MAILTEXT TYPE STRING

Changing MESSAGES TYPE REF TO CL_BSP_MESSAGES

Importing COUNTRY TYPE STRING OPTIONAL@78

Importing SUBJECT TYPE SO_OBJ_DES

METHOD SEND_FURTHER_INFORMATION_MAIL .

• ***** loading global Business Communication Class *******

CLASS: cl_cam_address_bcs DEFINITION LOAD.

DATA: send_request TYPE REF TO cl_bcs,

document TYPE REF TO cl_document_bcs,

sender TYPE REF TO cl_sapuser_bcs,

uname type syuname,

address TYPE REF TO if_recipient_bcs,

exception_info TYPE REF TO if_os_exception_info,

bcs_exception TYPE REF TO cx_bcs.

DATA: c_address TYPE adr6-smtp_addr.

DATA: mail_itab TYPE soli_tab,

mail_wa LIKE LINE OF mail_itab,

length TYPE i,

textlength TYPE so_obj_len.

TRY.

• ***** create persistent send request *********************

send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

• ***** create mail document *******************************

length = strlen( mailtext ).

MOVE length TO textlength.

IF length >= 255.

length = 255.

ENDIF.

WHILE NOT mailtext IS INITIAL.

mail_wa = mailtext(length).

mailtext = mailtext+length.

APPEND mail_wa TO mail_itab.

length = strlen( mailtext ).

IF length >= 255.

length = 255.

ENDIF.

ENDWHILE.

document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'RAW'

i_text = mail_itab

i_length = textlength

i_subject = subject ).

• ***** add document to send request ***********************

send_request->set_document( document ).

concatenate 'DLA_INFO_' country into uname.

translate uname to upper case.

sender = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( uname ).

send_request->set_sender( sender ).

• ***** create recipient ***********************************

MOVE recipient TO c_address.

address = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address(

• ***** add recipient to send request **********************

send_request->add_recipient(

EXPORTING i_recipient = address

i_express = ' '

CATCH cx_bcs INTO bcs_exception.

IF messages IS NOT INITIAL.

messages->add_message(

message = 'Error when trying to send mail' ).

ENDIF.

ENDTRY.

ENDMETHOD.

I use SAPScript-text as templates in this way:

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

id = id

language = spras

name = name

object = object

TABLES

lines = lines

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

OTHERS = 8.

• Convert.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT'

TABLES

text_stream = texts

itf_text = lines.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII'

TABLES

itf_lines = lines

EXCEPTIONS

syntax_check = 1

replace = 2

illegal_header = 3

OTHERS = 4.

LOOP AT texts INTO text.

CONCATENATE mailtext text INTO mailtext.

ENDLOOP.

REPLACE '[DIRECT_URL]' WITH direct_url INTO mailtext.

Hope this helps,

Stefan
