Transfer attachment between two SAP

[Former Member]

Good aftenoon,

we want to transfer phisically attachments between two SAP using GOS functionalities.

Is it possible? Can Someone help me to understand how manage these files?

Thanks Melissa

GOS attachments are not stored as the files but rather as some sort of raw data.

A while ago I worked on an ABAP function module that received the PDF attachment data in internal table (TABLES) and built a GOS attachment to a travel document in SAP. This FM was exposed as a web service to an external (non-SAP) system. The same way would work for another SAP system, I believe.

There might be some better options (Document Management?), this is just from the top of my head.

My code was based on a well-known SDN blog for GOS attachments, just Google it.

Thanks, Ernesto - this was the blog that I was mentioning.

Interesting point by Sandra. I was under the impression from the original post that the transfer meant to be performed regularly (i.e. something like an interface), but I might be wrong. Live and learn...

Hi Melissa,

I guess your GOS attachments are stored in a content repository (by default it's not), and you want to move them to another content repository.

This is called "relocation", and explained here : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ae/ba9f3879b9bb42938c5bad14587648/frameset.htm

You can do it as a whole, or partially with a program you can customize (see SAP notes indicated in the doc above)
