Send email from java to SAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

From a java app., a call is made to a BAPI which calls SO_OBJECT_SEND to send emails to internet addresses. But its not working and a return code of 9 is returned, which is OBJECT_NOT_SENT. Has anyone tried using SO_OBJECT_SEND and make a call to it from a java method? Please advise.

Thanks.

Kshitij.

I have been successful in call a custom RFC enabled function module which inturn calls function module

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 from a java iView.

Here is a quick and dirty sample of sending mail from ABAP. Put this functionality into a RFC enabled FM and call the FM from your java app.

Thanks Rich for your feedback.

I used the FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 instead which in its help mentions email using RFC. But the java method is giving a return code of 2. I am on 4.6C.

Your FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 doesn't mention anything with RFC. Do you think it will work?

Hello,

The FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 should work with RFC. Since it is an RFC enabled function module.

I would suggest you to go step by step.

First try to send a mail by using the above FM by SAP. Once successful, you can make a remote call with correct set of parameters.

For RFC:

CALL FUNCTION SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

DESTINATION <dest>

....

Thanks Murugesh.

I tried the following in my RFC enabled BAPI;

describe table obj_cont lines lin.

move: sy-repid to doc_data-obj_name,

'C' to doc_data-sensitivty,

'1' to doc_data-OBJ_PRIO.

doc_data-doc_size = ( lin - 1 ) * 255 + strlen( obj_cont ).

concatenate 'LMI: Org/Pay change -- Rejection; ID:' req_id

into doc_data-OBJ_DESCR separated by space.

move: '1' to pack_list-head_start,

'0' to pack_list-head_num,

'1' to pack_list-body_start,

lin to pack_list-body_num,

'RAW' to pack_list-doc_type,

sy-repid to pack_list-obj_name,

doc_data-doc_size to pack_list-doc_size.

append pack_list. clear pack_list.

move '&SO_FONTTYPE=FIX' to obj_headr.

append obj_headr.

loop at act_lines.

move act_lines-tdline to cont_txt-line.

append cont_txt. clear cont_txt.

endloop.

loop at receiver.

move: receiver-recextnam to rece-RECEIVER,

receiver-recesc to rece-REC_TYPE,

'INT' to rece-com_type.

append rece. clear rece.

endloop.

• If called from Java then use rfc fm ****

call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

destination SYST-SYSID

exporting

document_data = doc_data

DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'RAW'

PUT_IN_OUTBOX = 'X'

tables

OBJECT_HEADER = obj_headr

OBJECT_CONTENT = cont_txt

receivers = rece

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.

But it still gives error DOCUMENT_NOT_SENT when invoked from JAVA. But it runs FINE from SAP.

[RichHeilman]

Ok....so it works from SAP, not from Java app. Another question for ya. How is your Java app connecting to SAP. Through Jco? If so, what is the user id that is used to log into SAP through Jco? Does this user id have an email address tied to it in SAP? This could be your problem. If think that you need to have a email address associated with the user id to sent outgoing mail. Check this in transaction SU01.

Thanks to Rich and every one who responded to my query. The user WEBAPPROVAL did not have an email address maintained. After assigning it, the emails were sent. I appreciate everyones help.

Dear Kshitij,

Could you send my your code? I have a same problem but I can't solve it.
