In sap you can receive messages or alert and the new ones are in bold.

I have done a programs that retrieves from sap only the new ones and once they were read by the user i want to mark them as read also in sap.

I have found that the object messageHeader has a property READ but it's only a readproperty that tell you if a message is new or not.

What i'm missing is a property that mark the message as read.

Hi,

in this situation you have to use a RecordSet UPDATE in

the OAIB Table with Field WasRead changing to Y

altough it will work i have to warn you that RecordSet Updates are unsupported.

i think the DIAPI comes with too much limitations, partial implementantions, and missing features. It should be rewritten from scratch, (and retought) is really a daunting experience having to work this way. It's ironical, to say the least, noticing that if i want my application to be compliant with SAP policies (in order to obtain the certification) i can't have a direct dialog with the db while at the same time if i want my application to be complete, and not a toy i'm obliged to talk with that damn db.

I think this is NOT abstraction, this is NOT good pratice, this is ALL BUT a well developed API. An API which deserves such a name would not force me to write native code in order to fill the gaps left by some sorry-i-forgot-about-usability developer who worked on that.

Because post is from 2008 and I have the same problem, I ask if someone know the solution. Maybe something changed in new version of DI API ?

Hi everybody,

Please visit the B1 Idea Place. Here you can suggest new functionality (also for the DI API), and /or vote for suggestions made by other people.

Peter, if I am not mistaken you are not the only one who has issue with the DI API in its current form, and an idea about that has been suggested to SAP. Please vote for it.

P.S. Would you please mark any one of the answers here as the solution to your problem, so this thread gets closed?

I can't close this problem. I don't have that option. This topic was created by Gabriele Fedeli.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

Forget I said anything
