Read GOS Attachment from business object and convert to xstring and Viceversa

INTRODUCTION:


In this blog post, we will learn how to convert a GOS attachment to xstring and vice versa.

What is GOS:


The GOS is a toolbar that provides different functions such as adding an attachment, creating a document link, displaying all the attachments etc. The attachments are not generic for that transaction but are specific for a particular SAP object.

Eg: See the screenshot below to know where is GOS toolbar located. GOS toolbar is highlighted.

Here we are taking ME21N as reference.

Part 2: Attach a document to GOS using xstring.

PART – 1: CONVERT A GOS ATTACHMENT TO XSTRING


MAIN PART:

We are going to read the GOS attachments from a purchase requisition and convert it to xstring.

Let’s understand this process from below steps:

1. Generate relationship records for the attachments of PR.

(Business object type – BUS2105 can be obtained from TCODE: SWO2 )

–> Check below screenshots to know how to get BO type of an SAP object from SWO2 (here we are seeing for PR)

Path:   SWO2 –> Material Management –>  Purchasing –> PurchaseRequisition –>  Passes to –> Req_overall

–>Double click on Req_Overall

SAP ABAP, SAP ABAP Exam Prep, SAP ABAP Tutorial and Materials, SAP ABAP Career, SAP ABAP Certification, SAP ABAP Guides

–>Go inside any method or event to get BO Type

wa_rel_options  TYPE obl_s_relt,
int_links       TYPE obl_t_link,
wa_links        TYPE obl_s_link.

wa_rel_options-low = 'ATTA'. "" Attachemnts
wa_rel_options-sign = 'I'.
wa_rel_options-option = 'EQ'.
APPEND wa_rel_options TO int_rel_options.

wa_object-instid = wa_pr_list-banfn.  (This is the PR number)
wa_object-typeid = 'BUS2105'. "" PR  
wa_object-catid  = 'BO'. "" Business Object
REFRESH int_links[].

TRY.

EXPORTING

ENDTRY.
 
2.  Loop at links table to get the binary content of the attachments

DATA : lv_doc_id       TYPE sofolenti1-doc_id,
       int_cont_bin    TYPE TABLE OF solisti1,
       int_cont_solix    TYPE TABLE OF solix,
       wa_doc_data     TYPE sofolenti1.

LOOP AT int_links INTO wa_links.
lv_doc_id = wa_links-instid_b.

REFRESH int_cont_bin[].
REFRESH int_cont_solix[].

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'
EXPORTING

IMPORTING

x_error                    = 3
OTHERS                     = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

3. To convert binary data to xstring using FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.

–> Check whether int_cont_solix table is filled or not.

NOTE: For text document type ( wa_doc_data-obj_type) doesnt  give you proper document                size, hence multiply lines of int_cont_solix table with 255 to get correct size of text              document. For other document types ( Excel, Word, Image, PDF)  you can consider              value of variable (wa_doc_data-obj_type) as document size.

DATA: lv_lines TYPE char20,
      lv_doc_size     TYPE i,
      lv_xstring      TYPE xstring.

IF int_cont_solix IS NOT INITIAL.
   IF wa_doc_data-obj_type = 'TXT'.
     lv_lines = lines( int_cont_solix ) * 255.
     SHIFT lv_lines LEFT DELETING LEADING ' '.
     lv_doc_size = lv_lines.
   ENDIF.

"" Convert the binary data to Xstring
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
EXPORTING
input_length = lv_doc_size
IMPORTING
buffer       = lv_xstring
TABLES

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS       = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

–> If not convert (int_cont_bin) table to (int_cont_solix) using FM SO_SOLITAB_TO_SOLIXTAB to get document size.

ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_SOLITAB_TO_SOLIXTAB'
EXPORTING
ip_solitab  = int_cont_bin
IMPORTING
ep_solixtab = int_cont_solix.
*
IF wa_doc_data-obj_type = 'TXT'.
   lv_lines = lines( int_cont_solix ) * 255.
   SHIFT lv_lines LEFT DELETING LEADING ' '.
   lv_doc_size = lv_lines.
ENDIF.
*
"" Convert the binary data to Xstring
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
EXPORTING
input_length = lv_doc_size
IMPORTING

EXCEPTIONS

ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

PART 2: ATTACH A DOCUMENT TO GOS USING XSTRING


MAIN PART:

We are going to create an attachment using the xstring we have and attach it to any business object (Purchase order in this case)

Let’s understand this process from below steps:

1. Get the values of xstring from your ztable. ( Here it_attach is our internal table containing values          of xstring.)

SAP ABAP, SAP ABAP Exam Prep, SAP ABAP Tutorial and Materials, SAP ABAP Career, SAP ABAP Certification, SAP ABAP Guides

DATA lv_extensions TYPE char10.
DATA lv_file TYPE string.

LOOP AT it_attach INTO wa_attach WHERE po_number = wa_item1-po_number AND status IS INITIAL .
SPLIT wa_attach-po_att_name AT '.' INTO lv_file lv_extensions.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET'
EXPORTING
region                = c_b
IMPORTING
folder_id             = wa_fol_id
EXCEPTIONS
communication_failure = 1
owner_not_exist       = 2
system_failure        = 3
x_error               = 4
OTHERS                = 5.

Using FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY convert the xstring values from internal table to binary content.

DATA : lv_solix_length TYPE i,
it_content TYPE solix_tab."content OF FILE STORAGE

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
buffer          = wa_attach-po_att
IMPORTING
output_length   = lv_solix_length
TABLES
binary_tab      = it_content. "binary.

2. Now convert the obtained binary content to text using FM  SO_SOLIXTAB_TO_SOLITAB.

DATA: lt_data TYPE soli_tab.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_SOLIXTAB_TO_SOLITAB'
EXPORTING
ip_solixtab = it_content
IMPORTING
ep_solitab  = lt_data.

3. Now we should use a set of function modules to convert this text content into attachment and attach it to GOS.

–> SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET

Using this FM , you are getting an address of where your file contents will be stored in SAP.

–> SO_OBJECT_INSERT

This FM Stores the file into the folder obtained using FM SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET.  The content of the file is passed into this FM in a table (lt_data in this case).

The output of this FM will be the object ID of your file.

–> BINARY_RELATION_CREATE_COMMIT

At this point, your file is already stored somewhere in SAP. Now using this FM you will link your object ID to purchase order(PO is used in our example, you can use any business object).
