Sending appointment from ABAP to Outlook

[yes_sapteam]

Hi.

I would like to know if there is a way to send appointment request to Outlook from SAP (ABAP).

I know how to send Email from SAP to Outlook with/without attachments using the "SOI1" Function-group, but I don't think (or I didn't find it) that they support Calendar actions.

Does this exist in SAP?

Currently I'm on 4.6c, but we are going into Upgrade project in few months to ECC6.00.

thanx.

After looking further into the issue I found that you can use either VCS (vCalendar) or ICS (iCalendar) files to do it.

It looks like the ICS file format is easier to use + you can find a doucmentation on this standard (search: iCalendar or ICS file format) writen by MS & Lotus on the web.

I haven't tested it fully yet, only sent it as an attachment from Outlook.

enjoy.
