Attachements in SAP Office

[Former Member]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

i would like to know, where the atachements of messages (documents) are stored or how you can extract these attachements. Are they stored in a table or in the filesystem of the server? I have to work with atachements of type PDF. Can i handle this?

Thanks a lot for your answers,

Marcel

Hi,

Possible Solutions

1. Using SAP standard functionality of

BDS (Business Document Services )

BDN (Business Document Navigator)

OR

2. Using SAPDOI (SAP Desktop Office Integration)

Custom Program needed

OR

3. Using Class GOS_MANAGER

SAP Business Document Service (BDS) is an easy-to-integrate document management component in the R/3 Basis System. The global class CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET contains the most important methods for easy document handling, such as Create, Display, Change, and Delete, and for creating different content, language, and format versions. BDS doesn’t require customization and can be used out of the box with default settings. However, if you have additional requirements such as special document attributes, a transport connection, or the use of external storage systems, you can customize BDS.

You can access BDN by using:->

a). Transaction Code OAOR

b). Menu path Office -> Business Documents -> Documents -> Find

a). Call_navigator method from the class CL_ BDS_DOCUMENT_SET. (This point is for Developers)

Hi,

Look for SO* (SE11--> SO * --> Press F4) tables. There may be a lot of. But if you want to save it in Filesystem also possible . But need some configuration from basis.
