Dear all,

Just an update, I got the SOFM Object ID and executed it in SOFM BOR and got the below result.

If I execute the method just like that, I can able to see my PDF file.

If I have ENJOY parameter as 'X' and execute it, then I'm getting the below error. This is the same error which I get when I try to see it from SBWP. Why it's happening like this?

Thank you,

Justin.

Hi

In Function 'SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1'  , pass DOCUMENT_TYPE  = 'EXT' (that is a PC Document)

lv_document_data-OBJ_NAME = 'INITIAL' ... guess it is the name of the file! Try giving it as 'INITIAL.PDF'

Hello Modak,

Thank you so much. I could able to open up the files from SBWP, the extension is not coming up, but I'll get on to that later. But the process itself is failing while sending the attachment from mail step.  Appreciate your time. Can you point me out, what mistake I'm doing here?

Thank you,

Hi Justin

Instead of the last screen shot of the 'messages' Tab, please give the screen shot of the 'Step History Tab'.

Hi Justin

Go to SWO1 and test BO SELFITEM and the method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION with the values which the workflow is passing. If you get the error; you will have to debug the method and see.

Also try binding _ATTACH_OBJECTS to ATTACHMENTS from the Wrokflow to the Task.

What do we have in Address String? Is it a valid email address? Can you send a test email to the same email address from SBWP (New Message from the top left)?

Regards,

Modak

Hello Modak,

Yes I did that. I get emails in SOST as well. The moment I try to maintain the Task (PFTC) for SELFITEM , SENDTASKDESCRIPTION binding Attachments, I get the WF error and no emails.

Thank you,

Justin.

Hi Justin

maybe you will have to debug it and find the real cause of error.

Try an open a new thread for this issue as it is the second one for this thread. First one is resolved; you can close this thread. Also provide full details and screen shot over there. Try to test with uploading a new attachment via the SBWP work item and remove the PDF attachment part for the test. See what happens.

Modak
