Use of ABAP expression in the Send Mail Header and Text

Hi Workflow Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein I have to inform the Manager of a user that his/her request for leave availment has been approved. However, we need to show the users name for the Manager to easily identify the user.
Now, I checked the send mail step and it is possible to insert an expression, but the available expressions are confined within the containers available. Hence, we only have the user id of the workflow initiator.
Is there a way to place a code in the send mail expression which will determine the user's employee name given the user id as opposed to having to create an FM and a method to determine the users name? Or is the only recourse to develop and fm and a method to determine these details in the background and pass it to the containers for extraction?
Regards,

If you don't have for example the employee name in the available container elements, you need to add it and do the necessary coding/development for it. Classically employee or user data has been retrieved by using a certain standard background task to get the user/employee object based on the user ID. This will require an additional background step but no coding since the task includes the coding already.
It is anyhow possible to try to get the data for example with functional methods by using container operations in the workflow (or it is also possible to do this in binding too) - but then you need to develop a functional method(s). In other words you can use a functional method for example in your binding or in a container operation. Check for example Jocelyn Dart's blog about functional methods. Anyhow, how well the functional methods will work depends on the SAP system version.

Karri

HT1178 Can I just use my airport express as the primary base station and the time capsule as the network client?

I bought a new airport time capsule 3tb to be used to save to file all my pictures. Can I use it as network client and the airport express as the
Primary base station?

To my opinion this looks a bit like what I'm looking for.
At the moment I have an Imac that is wireless connected to a 2TB time capsule (TC1).
To this time capsule I have another 2TB time capsule (TC2) connected via a upt wire connection.
At the moment there is a backup made via time machine from the Imac to the time capsule TC1 (the second TC is not used)
I'm not so technical so I hope you understand the configuration.
What do I want to achieve :
copy all my data from the Imac to TC1 so that the information can be accessed by more users.
create an automatic backup from TC1 to TC2 (mirror or raid system) for security.
give access to some users on the network to access TC1 to read and write data.
TC2 only serves as backup from TC1 and no direct access is needed to this disk.
If there is a solution, thanks for explaining it in 'IT kindergarden style' so that I can understand and use the info.
Many thanks in advance.

How to send mails in HTML format from the send mail step of workflow?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to send mails in the html format from the send mail step of the workflows.
But what I found out that the html tags are not renderd and as such the output is in plain text.
I know that there is an alternative of using an activity step and use my own custom code from within there,But due to certain business constraints, I need to use the send mail step only.
My SCOT settings are all right.
Please let me know how it can be done.
Thanks,
Samrat.

Samrat,
It can't be done, you have to use your own activity step.
What are these constraints that refrain you from doing that?

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either. Replying used to work fine, but all of my replies are sent to my inbox, instead of going to the recipient. I've made sure that the recipient's email address is in the send to box.

Cause of the issue
Gmail webmail accounts do not have separate sent items and inbox folders. The Gmail account web page contains a Sent Mail link on the left side, but this is not a separate folder from the inbox. Gmail webmail messages are grouped into conversations, resulting in all sent messages and replies from others appearing as a single email message entry in the inbox. This allows for easy reading and viewing on the Gmail web page, but, when integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, results in copies of sent email messages arriving on the BlackBerry smartphone as new email messages.
Resolution
To prevent sent messages from returning to the BlackBerry smartphone each time, create a filter in the BlackBerry Internet Service account to block the sending of those messages to the BlackBerry smartphone.
To create a filter, perform the following:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account. For instructions on how to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account, see KB03781.
Click the Filters icon next to the integrated Gmail account.
Click Add a Filter to create a new filter.
Configure the filter so that email messages are not sent to the BlackBerry smartphone if the email message originates from the Gmail webmail account integration:
Type a name for the filter into the Filter Name field. For example, My sent Gmail email messages.
Set the Apply filter when field to "FROM" field.
Type the Gmail webmail address into the Contains field. For example, <user name>@gmail.com>.
Select the radio button beside Do not forward messages to device.
Click Add Filter.
Note: After creating this filter, email messages will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone if sent from the Gmail webmail account.

Urgent: How to overcome the send mail limitation

I am trying to use htmldb_mail PL/SQL package to send mail to 400 people, but get following message:
"."WWV_FLOW_MAIL_QUEUE"."MAIL_TO" (actual: 3551, maximum: 2000)
How do I overcome the limitation?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated.

Things that spring to mind -
1) Setup a mailing list on a mailserver (if you're using one like Exchange, Sendmail, Postfix etc) and have your application email the mailing list. That way your app sends out 1 email, and the mail server takes care of expanding the address list to the 400 people (this is probably the most 'efficient' way to do it).
2) Do your mailing in part (e.g. 100 people at a time), so you send out 4 emails with each one addressed to a batch of 100 people
3) Use the CC list (I don't believe the CC list has the same limit, but I haven't checked).
4) Send out the emails individually, e.g. one email per recipient...this is an absolutely horrendous way to do it however, the load on your mailserver will be hugely increased and your mail administrator will probably shout at you, however it's an option (I wouldn't do it this way, but it is an option). I repeat....I'm not advocating you do it this way.....

Hi frank at luray,
Does this issue occur with any file that you try to send, or do you find that it's specific to one file? If it's a file-specific error, and the file is large, please try sending the file via Adobe SendNow. (You can sign in to Adobe SendNow at Sign in or create an account | Adobe SendNow using the same credentials you use to sign in to Adobe Send.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.
