Send mail from SAP to Lotus Notes using OLE technique

Former Member

Hi All,

Do anyone have idea on sending mail to Lotus Notes using OLE technique?

My requirement is specific to some of the properties in Lotus Notes which include:

1) Saving the mail in Drafts without sending

2) Adding a Meeting request to the receiver's Calendar automatically, without the receiver having to manually ACCEPT it. ('Autoprocessing of Inviations' option in Lotus Notes).

Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.

Also let me know if there is any other option available other than OLE to achieve the above two requirements.

Thanks,

Manikandan JN.

Hi Mani,

For your second question regarding the meeting request in the calendar. You can achieve it by using the Class CL_APPOINTMENT. Please refer to the below link for the source code

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Sending+Appointments+or+Meeting+Requests+directly+from...

Do not use the method CREATE_SEND_REQUEST as it is used for sending a invitation but our objective is to publish the calendar. This is determined by the protected attribute METHOD in CL_APPOINTMENT.

Hence create a subclass of CL_APPOINMENT and modify the attribute METHOD to 'PUBLISH' and then pass to it CL_BCS for sending the appointment.

Reward points if helpful.
