have u tried calling this function module via background task ? I guess it will work.

Hi,

You don't need to do anything additional to make it function in back ground. Just use it and run in background, there will be no problem.

Thanks & Regards

I execute the function but this commited a very long time...

I need execute the function and immediatly return in the abap program...

It's possible?

[Former Member]

Yes....that you can do by calling the function module in your code by using the statement VIA BACKGROUND TASK, so that it will execute in background task, and control will return to your ABAP program.

What took so long? Probably not the email send...probably the code that builds what you're sending? My memory is that the API is quick...takes a lot more time to build the tables and structure.

ok kumar, but with CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' in background task the mail is not sent...

[Former Member]

It should work.

Problem lies somewhere else I guess.

Just check ur code.

You can also check in the transaction SOST, send the mails manually from there.

If I execute the function without "in background task" the mail send successfully...

[Former Member]

Solved... The function in background task must be followed by COMMIT WORK (SAP 6.0).
