Issue while mail triggering using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Question

Hi all,
I have requirement to send mails from BADI.For that i used following function modules-SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
and
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1,
Both of these two function module requires to use COMMIT WORK statement.
But if we use COMMIT WORK statement in BADI a run time error is occuring as its not allowed in BADI.
Can anybody provide solution for this  or provide another function module.
Thank you.

Answer 1

commit work not allowed in BADI.It gives runtime error
Information on commit work.
becos for commit work. sy-subrc will allways sets to zero.
you can better use commitwork and wait. it sets sy-subrc.
To avoid runtime error / dump you can check the sy-subrc value. if its not equal to zero. just
Roll back work.
Plz look at the piece of code below
commit work and wait.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
exit.
else.
rollback work.
wa_error-msg = "Failed to update the status in the database "
append wa_error to it_error.
exit.
endif.
Also check the badi signature. there you have a internal table to store the error messages.
if commit work fails then add the appropriate error message to the internal table .
Hope this gives you some idea on commit work.
But as everyone says, commit work is not required for that function module . i too agree with that.
if you try to update any database after you successfully send the file . then i think commit work statement is necessary for you.
Thanks,
Uma
