Hi Experts,

Good Morning.

We have requirement which related automate the Strustss02 functionality through APIs .

In the above requirement ,we need to download the certificates from specified portal and need to upload the certificates into the system.

Kindly let me know is there any BAPI are available for this functionality.

Thank you,

I don't think we can upload certificates into STRUST t code using a BAPI,

Hi Naresh,

Sure, I can help with that! Lets break down the process into the three steps you mentioned and provide some details and examples. Downloading Certificates Using SAP GUI Scripting or Automation Tools-To automate the process of downloading certificates from a portal using SAP GUI Scripting, you would typically use the scripting language to simulate user interactions within the SAP GUI.

Example SAP GUI Script in VBscript:

Dim SapGuiAuto, application, connection, session

Dim downloadButton, filePath

Create the SAP GUI Scripting objects

Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")

Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine

Set connection = application.Children(0)

Set session = connection.Children(0)

Navigate to the relevant screen (replace with actual navigation steps)

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nSM59"

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRFCDEST").text = "MY_DESTINATION"

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").press

 Example of interacting with a dialog to download certificates

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/btnCERT_DOWNLOAD").press

Assuming a file dialog appears; set the file path

filePath = "C:\path\to\save\certificate.cer"

session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtFILE_PATH").text = filePath

session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[11]").press

 End the script

WScript.Echo "Certificate downloaded to " & filePath

Saving the Certificates Locally-the script example above saves the certificate file to a specified local path

Uploading Certificates into SAP Using ABAP--To upload certificates into SAP using ABAP, you can use the SECSTORE API or similar methods

Here some example:

Step-by-Step Guide:

    Read the Certificate File: First, read the certificate file into an internal table or string in ABAP.

    Convert to Binary: Convert the certificate into binary format if needed.

    Use the SECSTORE API: Call the appropriate methods from the SECSTORE API to upload the certificate.

DATA: lv_file_path TYPE string VALUE 'C:\path\to\save\certificate.cer',

      lv_cert_data TYPE xstring,

      lv_cert_name TYPE string VALUE 'MY_CERTIFICATE_NAME'.

* Read the certificate file into an xstring

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

  EXPORTING

    filename                = lv_file_path

  IMPORTING

    filelength              = lv_file_size

  CHANGING

    data_tab                = lv_cert_data

  EXCEPTIONS

    others                  = 1.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  WRITE: / 'Error reading file'.

  EXIT.

ENDIF.

* Create or update the certificate in the SAP system

CALL FUNCTION 'SCP_PUBLISH_CERT'

  EXPORTING

    certificate_id = lv_cert_name

    certificate    = lv_cert_data

  EXCEPTIONS

    others         = 1.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  WRITE: / 'Error uploading certificate'.

  EXIT.

ENDIF.

WRITE: / 'Certificate uploaded successfully'.

Note:

If the function module or method to upload certificates is different in your SAP environment, make sure to adapt the example accordingly.

 Always test your code in a development or test environment before using it in production.
