Function module HTTP_POST in Background

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using function module HTTP_POST to get xml from web. My object is working perfectly fine when I execute it in foreground (online) but the same when executed as a background job is not returning me anything.

Questions:

1. Is it possible to use this function module in a background job?

2. What can be errors in this case?

3. Solution please....

Points guranteed for the solution or helpful replies.

My code for reference:

CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_POST'

EXPORTING

ABSOLUTE_URI = urlstring

REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH = reqlen

RFC_DESTINATION = 'SAPHTTP'

• PROXY =

• PROXY_USER =

• PROXY_PASSWORD =

• USER =

• PASSWORD =

• BLANKSTOCRLF =

• IMPORTING

• STATUS_CODE =

• STATUS_TEXT =

• RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH =

TABLES

REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY = xmldoc[]

RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY = response_body[]

RESPONSE_HEADERS = response_header[]

REQUEST_HEADERS = request_header[]

EXCEPTIONS

CONNECT_FAILED = 1

TIMEOUT = 2

INTERNAL_ERROR = 3

TCPIP_ERROR = 4

SYSTEM_FAILURE = 5

COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 6

OTHERS = 7.

Thanks- Ags.

Hi Agasti,

Use class CL_HTTP_CLIENT. there is a method SET_HEADER_FIELD , u can use POST in that.

It will be something like below:

data: client type ref to if_http_client.

ur code to call the webservice API (method CREATE or CREATE_BY_URL

CALL METHOD client->request->set_header_field

EXPORTING

name = '~request_method'

value = 'POST'.

It will work.

cheers,

Hema.
