Sap - Word - Sap - How make a link ?

[Former Member]

Hello ,

this is my requirement:

From sap I have to open a .doc document and write some data inside. After, the user can modify this document, and once the .doc is modified by user, I have to archive this document in the external container and make a link inside SAP.

So, the first step is not hard (I think and I hope - I can use OLE technolgy ), but I don't know how to make the second step - I mean

from .doc document modified, archive it on the external container and make a link into SAP.

Some idea ??

Tks in advance.

You can use OLE technology and generate Word document.

There is also DOI technology to develop connection of Mail-merge

technology of Microsoft and SAP ABAP class i_oi_document_proxy,with interfaceget_mail_merge_interface.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/e9/0be775408e11d1893b0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm

Sample code:

http://www.sap2word.de/abap.html

After generation of the Word document, you can save this document in SAP as an attachment to standard transaction in BDS technology - check transaction /NOAOR.

You can save there this document in apropriate class and document number

using method cl_bds_document_set=>create_with_table.

This class let you also to save next generated Word for the same SAP document as new version, with storing all history of changes with method: cl_bds_document_set=>create_version_with_table

Hope it helps

After modifying the word document try with the below steps to store the document in the BDS server:

1. Use the method get_with_url of BDS instance(CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET) to get the BDS address in the URL form:

CONSTANTS:

lc_docu TYPE sbdst_classname VALUE 'SOFFICEINTEGRATION',

lc_type TYPE sbdst_classtype VALUE 'OT',

lc_doc_ok TYPE sbdst_object_key VALUE 'SOFFICEINTEGRATION'.

ls_doc_signature-prop_name = 'DESCRIPTION'.

ls_doc_signature-prop_value = 'DOCUMENT NAME'.

APPEND ls_doc_signature TO li_doc_signature.

CALL METHOD gcl_bds_inst->get_with_url

EXPORTING

classname = lc_docu

classtype = lc_type

object_key = lc_doc_ok

CHANGING

Uris = li_doc_uris

signature = li_doc_signature

EXCEPTIONS

nothing_found = 1

error_kpro = 2

internal_error = 3

parameter_error = 4

not_authorized = 5

not_allowed = 6

OTHERS = 7.

2. Now use the method save_document_to_url of document instance(I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY) by passing the URL obtained from thestructure li_doc_uris.
