How to download the attachments from GOS toolbar.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing a problem. I have to go to transaction ME33k and click the GOS toolbar. Then click on the attachment list. After the attachment list arrives, I need to transfer the files to the local system. The issue is that I need to do all this using a custom program. The custom program will transfer the files into the local system and then mail them to specified recipients.

The custom program has been made but I am unable to download files from the SAP internal location to the local PC. Please advise.

Welcome to SDN

you can use BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET or

BDS_ALL_CONNECTIONS_GET to get the list of attachments.

and to read the content of the attachment (so that you can download it to local PC) use FM BDS_DOCUMENT_GET_TABLE or BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TAB

Hi,

I tried to use these functions but not able to find specific input parameters.

Is there any documentation available for using these function modules or could you please provide certain test scenario.

Hi,

I would like to have the parameters for the follwing function modules.

1> BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TABLE

2> BDS_GOS_CONNECTION_GET

If possible, could you also provide the parameters for BDS_DOCUMENT_GET_TABLE.

Thanks,

Jayanta

1. BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET

LOGICAL_SYSTEM = pass your systems logical system id - if you dont know the logical system id you can run FM OWN_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_GET to get the logical system name.

CLASSNAME = the business object name (for example BUS0012 is the class for cost center)

OBJKEY = the key of the business object's object for example for cost center it will be <controllingarea>+<costcenternumber>

CLIENT = sy-mandt

2. BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TAB its almost similar

Hi,

Thanks for the update. The BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET is working fine but the BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TAB has some problem. I entered all the inputs as specified by you but it states 'NOTHING FOUND'. Actually when I debugged the FM, I found that a FM BDS_CONNECTIONS_GET is called by it with exactly the same parameters as we passed in the BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET but, here it returs the error message 'NOTHING FOUND'.

Please help.

Thanks,

Jayanta

Hello Jayanta Biswas,

I am experiencing your issue with FM BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TAB.

Were you able to figure out why its throwing the "Nothing Found" exception?

Thanks for your help,
