SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD

I have a program that copies Attachments to an external folder. When I run the program from SE80, it works fine. When I run it as a scheduled job, the files do not copy. How can I correct this?

To write the data to application server:
open dataset 'suresh1file' for output in text mode. " suresh1file is a file name in the home directory - check AL11
LOOP AT ITAB1.
    TRANSFER ITAB1 TO 'suresh1file'.
    delete itab1.
ENDLOOP.
close dataset 'suresh1file'.
To read the data from application server:
open dataset 'suresh1file' for input in text mode.
do.
   read dataset 'suresh1file' into itab2.
   append itab2.
   clear itab2.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
         exit.
      endif.
enddo.
close dataset 'suresh1file'.
regards,

Alternate FM for SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD

Hi All,
Can any one tell me is there any altenate FM for "SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD" .
I am getting 0 bytes transfered message while using the above FM.
I need to download the vendor attachments from 4.7 and upload it in 6.0

The zero bytes result from a suppressed internal error.
the call to "cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_get_current" fails and kills the process. usually because the ITS Server installation is incorrect.
Declare a data variable of char 250.
Write the value of the destination folder to this variable.
Set the Parameter 'SOL' to the variable.
The failing call is no longer needed and the file is produced.
I.E.
Data ltp_file_path_xs(250) type c,
ltp_pathin type string. "holds target folder path.
ltp_file_path_xs = ltp_pathin.
set parameter id 'SOP' field ltp_file_path_xs.

Error using SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD to download attachments

I am using the SO_OBECJT_DOWNLOAD function to download the attachments to a shared folder. The program works when I run it directly. But after I scheduled it as a background job, the program failed. Here is the description of the error:
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CODEPAGE_CONVERTER_INIT', was
not caught in
procedure "SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
Possibly, one of the codepages '4103' or '0000' - needed for the
conversion - is unknown to the system. Another option is, that a Unicode
codepage was specified for a file in LEGACY MODE, which is not allowed.
Additional parameters for the codepage conversion (as , for example, the
replacement character) might have invalid values. You can find further
information under 'Inernal notes'.

The attachments are downloaded to a shared folder on a file server. I got codepage convet error when the program trying to read the file, which means the error happens before the file is downloaded.

Get manual attachment from a report

Hi all,
I have a problem when trying to retrieve from a report the manual attachments of an SD invoice. Though I'm using a SD invoice, I guess is the same for any object.
I usually use this way to get attachments from objects:
1º ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS -> Attachment info
2º ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_DT_VIA_TABLE or ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE -> Attachment data
3º Then download, email... or do whatever you want with the files.
My problem now is, if I go inside an invoice and create an attachment manually, then it does not show up on TOA01 or on FM ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS.
Do you know a way to get these manual created attachments or at least where are they stored?
Thanks in advance,
Regards John

Hi Madhukar,
Thanks for the answer. That's exactly what I need.
After a while I finally managed to execute them correctly, I'll explain here:
1º Get the attachments info. In my case, as I told, are SD Invoices so class is VBRK
CALL FUNCTION 'BDS_GOS_CONNECTIONS_GET'
EXPORTING
*   LOGICAL_SYSTEM           =
    classname                = 'VBRK'
    objkey                   = 'sd invoice number'
*   CLIENT                   = SY-MANDT
tables
    gos_connections          = it_gos_connections
* EXCEPTIONS
*   NO_OBJECTS_FOUND         = 1
*   INTERNAL_ERROR           = 2
*   INTERNAL_GOS_ERROR       = 3
*   OTHERS                   = 4.
2º We recover the data of any of the attachments we got before:
From table gos_connections we use the field L0I0_ID to enter this next FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'
EXPORTING
    document_id                      =   it_gos_connections-L0I0_ID
*   FILTER                           = 'X '
* IMPORTING
*   DOCUMENT_DATA                    =
TABLES
*   OBJECT_HEADER                    =
   OBJECT_CONTENT                   = it_object_content
*   OBJECT_PARA                      =
*   OBJECT_PARB                      =
*   ATTACHMENT_LIST                  =
*   RECEIVER_LIST                    =
*   CONTENTS_HEX                     =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   DOCUMENT_ID_NOT_EXIST            = 1
*   OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION       = 2
*   X_ERROR                          = 3
*   OTHERS                           = 4.
3º Now we got the data, we can do whatever we want. For example if we want to download it we can go like this:
we use the it_object_content from last FM for this next one.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
*   BIN_FILESIZE           = 0
*   DEFAULT_FILENAME       = ' '
   FILETYPE               = 'BIN' "for PDF
   PATH_AND_FILE          = 'C:TEST '
*   EXTCT                  = ' '
   NO_DIALOG              = 'X'
*   CODEPAGE               =
* IMPORTING
*   FILELENGTH             =
*   F_CANCELLED            =
*   ACT_FILETYPE           =
*   ACT_FILENAME           =

    objcont                = it_object_content
* EXCEPTIONS
*   FILE_WRITE_ERROR       = 1
*   INVALID_TYPE           = 2
*   X_ERROR                = 3
*   KPRO_ERROR             = 4

How to download the attachments from GOS toolbar.

Hi,
I am facing a problem. I have to go to transaction ME33k and click the GOS toolbar. Then click on the attachment list. After the attachment list arrives, I need to transfer the files to the local system. The issue is that I need to do all this using a custom program. The custom program will transfer the files into the local system and then mail them to specified recipients.
The custom program has been made but I am unable to download files from the SAP internal location to the local PC. Please advise.

Function SO_OBJECT_ARCHIVE_READ

Dear Reader,
I am attempting to write a program which will automatically download all files in the General folder in SAP office onto the harddrive.
I use the function SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD to download the files after i have read them.
The function SO_OBJECT_READ reads almost everything except...
The archived files which show up as 'arc' when you read them in the SBWP sap business workplace.
I tried to use the function SO_OBJECT_ARCHIVE_READ to get the information about them,

but unfortunatly only got the display data under the import and some entries in objpara. The head data objhead and content objcont are very important and unfortunatly missing.
Any advice or help would be appreciated

Try using function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
For the input of the "RECEIVERS" table parameter, use rec_type = 'B' andexpress = 'X'
We are using this function(in 31H) for a similar requirement and as soonas the user logs in, they receive a popup box notifying them that anExpress Document is waiting for them to review.

If you want to download GOS file then you need to use fm SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD instead of SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT
and in sap we have standard program to do this

Thanks for suggestions.
