I have done this in the past. All you need to do is know the address for the phone or pager. Usually the text messaging is set up as an email address. This is how it was in my case. I used the program below as a test, entered the appriopriate mail address, and my phone was ringing the next minute.

report zrich_0003 .

data: maildata type sodocchgi1.
data: mailtxt  type table of solisti1 with header line.
data: mailrec  type table of somlrec90 with header line.

start-of-selection.

  clear:    maildata, mailtxt,  mailrec.
  refresh:  mailtxt, mailrec.

  maildata-obj_name = 'TEST'.
  maildata-obj_descr = 'Test'.
  maildata-obj_langu = sy-langu.

  mailtxt-line = 'This is a test'.
  append mailtxt.

  mailrec-receiver = 'yournumber@yourcellularprovider.com'.
  mailrec-rec_type  = 'U'.
  append mailrec.


    call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
         exporting
              document_data              = maildata
              document_type              = 'RAW'
              put_in_outbox              = 'X'
         tables
              object_header              = mailtxt
              object_content             = mailtxt
              receivers                  = mailrec
         exceptions
              too_many_receivers         = 1
              document_not_sent          = 2
              document_type_not_exist    = 3
              operation_no_authorization = 4
              parameter_error            = 5
              x_error                    = 6
              enqueue_error              = 7
              others                     = 8.

Hi Rich,

This is really useful. can you advise me, do we need to use it in the application or else when exactly it will get triggered? Or, do we need to schedule this job seperaly?

[RichHeilman]

It really depends on what the process is, you can put this code in the application itself, but you have to know when to fire it. You can't really schedule this program as is, as it really won't help you out. This program is just an example of how to send an email to a email address.

What exactly is the process.

I have written a program in the past that looks at abended jobs and sends an email to specific people, you can enter the jobs that you want to look at on the selection screen and you can enter the recipients in the selection screen as well, all you need to do is supply the job names and the email address(text messaging addresses) Are you interested, if so, please email me at the address on my business card and I will send you the program code.

Hi arnab, I use verizon wireless as well, I have tested this example program with my address and it works good. You will need to use your number and @vtext.com.

7175555555@vtext.com

Also, the email server must be configured in SCOT.

P.S. There's nothing worse then an all day meeting when you are trying to get something working.

Hi Rich,

i tried changing mailrec-receiver = 7327108486@vtext.com

as per your suggestion, but it didnot work for me.

i guess i have to check whether the email server must be configured SCOT or not.

i am not sure about it where do i need to ceck this?.

[RichHeilman]

Go to transaction SCOT. There should be something configured under INT. Your basis team should be able to take care of this.

Regards,

Rich Heilman

[RichHeilman]

IF it is configured, you still may need to force the "Send" process, put you cursor on the number(if its working, you should see a number other than 0 under INT) and hit F8, you will get a dialog, enter INT. This will "Send" the mail.

Hi Rich,

I have checked in SCOT , it is showing as all ZEROES only in INT as shown below..so it is not configured right.

is there any i can do it without basis guys help.

Sorry to trouble you with silly questions. please suggest me.

INT 0 0 0 0 0:00 0:00

NODE1 0 0 0 0:00 0:00

SMTP 0 0 0 0:00 0:00

[RichHeilman]

I don't know the config as it needs to be tied to an email server like MS exchange. I would talk to your basis people about setting up the SAPconnect. Once it is setup, your program will work.

If you found any of these answers helpful, please make sure to award points to them. Also, make sure to mark as solved when solved completely. Thanks.

Hi Rich,

We are trying to do the same, send pager to people,or text message to mobile if , load fails, and can you tell me what kind of confuguration I will ask my basis to do , in SCOT , so that I can get messages in my Tmobile.

Great post.Thanks.

Tina

[RichHeilman]

Hi Tina. You basis people need to configure for your email server. Really, all a text message to cell phone is; is an email. If your system is configured to work with your email server, it is just like sending an email. You can test this with your regular email inbox. Send an email to your tmoble text messaging address. This is usually your cell phone number @ domain.com. Here the domain will be tmobiles domain used for text messaging.
