Interface between ABAP and Vistaplus

[Former Member]

Hi All

Requirement:

I have created some .DAT file in certain format using ABAP and I am moving that file to Vistaplus directory so that VISTAPLUS can use this file and create actual letters thru some templates and later mail/fax those letters to respective clients.

If I want to see those letters, I need to login to Vistaplus and search for that particular file in one of the folder and display it.

But instead of logging into Vistaplus separately and search the file and verify them. Is it possible in ABAP to connect to Vistaplus by passing required URL, and some key fields so that I can directly display the letter on browser?

Vistaplus is a third party printing S/W.

How can we achieve this in ABAP? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I am using this FM  PRGN_GENER_EXECUTE_URL to Link to a designated application browser. But I cant pass any value to the browser.

Hi Giri,

As per my analysis the above mentioned function module will only generate a URL.

but we cannot hyperlink or make any kind of interface from SAP until unless we have HTTP ITS connection with the VISTA Plus or VPOM or any third party software.

One more thing is that when I tried to check the sample url it says the below mentioned error

HTTP Status 404 - /VP_WEB/RPTOPEN.DO

I am not sure exactly what needs to be done for this error. But at the same time when I use the sample test url from the program SAPHTML_DEMO1 it is well and good.

Because SAPHTML_DEMO1 is just like a browser in SAP. so I dont think this works in your case. meanwhile I will also try to do some more research.

Hope this helps..
