DMS - BAPI - BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2 - No upload to server

Question

Hi,
I am having a problem with BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2. I use it to checkin a document into an existing Document info record.
Example of how I am using the BAPI:
REPORT ztestdms .
DATA: it_files  LIKE TABLE OF bapi_doc_files2 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: ln_return LIKE bapiret2.
it_files-docfile       = 'C:tempDMS_Test.txt'.
it_files-wsapplication = 'TXT'.
APPEND it_files.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_SETCOMMITMODE'
     EXPORTING
          auto_commit = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2'
  EXPORTING
    documenttype            = 'TEK'
    documentnumber          = '0000000000000010000000046'
    documentpart            = '000'
    documentversion         = '00'
*   HOSTNAME                = ' '
*   STATUSINTERN            = ' '
*   STATUSEXTERN            = ' '
    statuslog               = 'test mb'
*   REVLEVEL                = ' '
*   AENNR                   = ' '
*   PF_FTP_DEST             = ' '
*   PF_HTTP_DEST            = ' '
  IMPORTING
    return                  = ln_return
  TABLES
    documentfiles           = it_files
*   COMPONENTS              =
*   DOCUMENTSTRUCTURE       =
WRITE ln_return.
The BAPI links the file to the DIR but does not upload it, the lock symbol in transaction CV02N is still open and the file is still available at the client. A manual checkin completes the process but this is not wanted.
What I would like to happen is the file to be uploaded (actually checked in) and removed from the client.
Any help is welcome and thanks in advance.

Sunil,
I am having the same problem and have already created an OSS note for SAP in which they reply:
<i>However, as you use Visual Basic, your query represents
a consulting issue rather than a problem based on a
software error in R/3 (as you said, the BAPI works in TA
se37). Therefore, I would ask you to contact our Remote
Consulting and to open a new call under component XX-RC.
Our consultants will assist you.
Nevertheless, you could also try to use CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN
instead of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2, API-s are much more
flexible than BAPI-s.
Thank you for your understanding.!

I have just finished testing this other function but it has the same result. Below you will find an example program with this other function.
