Starting Lotus Notes creating a new mail

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

Problem:

1.) When the user presses a button within a SAP-

transaction Lotus-Notes should be started automatically

creating a new mail too.

2.)The attachment (a pdf-file (sapscript-output))

should be appended.

3.) The recipient's e-mail-address should be filled out

automatically.

4.) When Lotus has create the new mail it should wait

until the user has entered additional comments.

Attention:

FM's like SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 etc.

didn't work, because they are sending a mail and did not

invoke the Lotus client.

System: 4.7

WAS 6.2

Every user has installed a SAP-GUI

and the Lotus Notes client!

Does somebody have any experience in this?

Thanks in advance

BR

Michael

Hi,

I have no idea about Lotus Notes. But if Lotus Notes has activeX controls for all the functions which you are talking about, yes your requirement can be accomplished.

Have a look at this weblog. https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/754.

This will give you an idea as to how controls can be used within ABAP.

Hi Durairaj,

thanks a lot for your answer.

The weblog gave me an idea, how it could work.

But now i have to find out, wether a ActiveX Control exists for Lotus or not ...

Hello Michael,

could you share the solution with the community through a post or weblog?

Thanks very much,

PS: some customers are launching the Notes Client through the registrered program call (e.g. use IE and paste the following in the address bar: notes:///names.nsf). By doing so you can launch documents or create new documents - but I'm not aware of passing parameters that way)
