Sending a doc to DMS

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to send a document via web service to the DMS.

What standard bapi receives Xstring or file object and writes

it to the DMS (without using a specific path to the file system) ?

Thank you for your help.

The only way I found is

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 gives you the document

  call function 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'

    exporting

      documentdata    = documentdata

    importing

      documenttype    = dokar

      documentnumber  = doknr

      documentpart    = doktl

      documentversion = dokvr

      return          = return.

and to upload/replace the file contents use something like this

  data: ps_api_control type cvapi_api_control.

  data: pt_files_x like cvapi_doc_file occurs 0 with header line.

  data: pt_messages like messages occurs 0 with header line,

        bapi_message like messages occurs 0 with header line.

  ps_api_control-commit_flag = 'X'.

  ps_api_control-save_flag = 'X'.

  if not replace is initial.

    call function 'CVAPI_DOC_GETDETAIL'

      exporting

        pf_batchmode = 'X'

        pf_dokar     = doctype

        pf_doknr     = docnr

        pf_dokvr     = docversion

        pf_doktl     = docpart

      tables

        pt_files     = pt_files_x

      exceptions

        not_found    = 1

        no_auth      = 2

        error        = 3

        others       = 4.

    if sy-subrc <> 0.

      replace = space.

    endif.

  endif.

  if replace = space.

    pt_files_x-dappl = dappl.

    pt_files_x-storage_cat = storage_cat.

    pt_files_x-filename =  filename.

    pt_files_x-description =  filename.

    pt_files_x-content_description =  filename.

    append pt_files_x.

  endif.

  call function 'CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN'

    exporting

      pf_dokar           = doctype

      pf_doknr           = docnr

      pf_dokvr           = docversion

      pf_doktl           = docpart

      pf_ftp_dest        = 'SAPFTPA'

      pf_http_dest       = 'SAPHTTPA'

      ps_api_control     = ps_api_control

      pf_replace         = replace

      pf_content_provide = 'TBL'

    importing

      psx_message        = pt_messages

    tables

      pt_files_x         = pt_files_x

      pt_content         = pt_content.

You need to move your xstring to an internal table pt_content.

Hh Alejandro

if I understand you correctly to upload a file (using only XTSRING)

I can use

call function 'CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN' 

    exporting

      pf_dokar           = doctype

      pf_doknr           = docnr

      pf_dokvr           = docversion

      pf_doktl           = docpart

      pf_ftp_dest        = 'SAPFTPA'

      pf_http_dest       = 'SAPHTTPA'

      ps_api_control     = ps_api_control

      pf_replace         = replace

      pf_content_provide = 'TBL'

    importing

      psx_message        = pt_messages

    tables

      pt_files_x         = pt_files_x

      pt_content         = pt_content.

where in pt_content I put the xstring respresenting the file.

No, if you have an xstring you have to convert it into a dra0 structure..... like this for example. Also the first part of the previous code (fm CVAPI_DOC_GETDETAIL call) allows you to replace existing content in the dms document

   assuming your content is included in lf_content

  TYPES: BEGIN OF t_binary,

           line(2550) TYPE x,

         END OF t_binary.

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE t_binary.

  DATA: lf_content  TYPE xstring,

        lf_size     TYPE i,

        pt_content        TYPE TABLE OF drao,

        ls_drao         TYPE          drao,       

        lt_binary       TYPE TABLE OF t_binary,

  lf_size = XSTRLEN( lf_content ).

*Convert xstring to binary format

  CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

       EXPORTING: buffer        = lf_content

       IMPORTING: output_length = lf_size

       TABLES:    binary_tab    = lt_binary.

  LOOP AT lt_binary ASSIGNING <fs>.

    CLEAR ls_drao.

    ls_drao-orblk = <fs>-line.

    ls_drao-orln  = lf_size.

    APPEND ls_drao TO pt_content.

  ENDLOOP.

Hi Alejandro

Sorry for my late reply.

As far as I understand this mechanism

is not suited for silent upload since it

uses the Upload/Download UI elements

where the user has to select the

file and the UI element passes the

data source (file object) to web dynpro.

For silent upload download I guess we have to

use ACFUploadDownload ....

No, you can run it in a batch mode, independently of the UI used, as far as you will be able to get the file information into a xstring. The user doesn't selects anything in the previous code. In fact I have a program running with a similar schema that performs batch upload of 5000 files each night.

Hi

I think I made myself misunderstood. What I am trying to

do is to silently

upload a file using web dynpro's ACFUPDOWNLOAD.

In the demo app I do not see how I get the XSTRING

representation of the file I just uploaded.

Further, although I managed to use ACF and I

get no error while uploading the file, it is not stored

on my KPRO.

Thanks. It worked
