Tips about fetching attachment list from Service Notification

If the requirement is to send the PDF files fetched from the attachment list of service notifications once the service order reaches to specific status, how to get those linked document files based on the service order number will be the key. That is the purpose of this article.

1. Get the notification number(QMNUM) from AFIH (Maintenance order header) based on the Service order number(AUFNR).

2. Get Document Type(DRAD-DOKAR) and Document number(DRAD-DOKNR) from DRAD(Document-Object Link) with the notification number used as OBJKY.

3. Fetch the attachment lists through BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 from the Service notification based on document details.

call function 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2'

    exporting

      documenttype         = drad-dokar

      documentnumber       = drad-doknr

      documentpart         = drad-doktl

      documentversion      = drad-dokvr

      getobjectlinks       = 'X'

      getcomponents        = 'X'

      getactivefiles       = 'X'

      getdocdescriptions   = 'X'

      getdocfiles          = 'X'

      getclassification    = 'X'

    importing

      documentdata         = l_documentdata

      return               = l_return

    tables

      objectlinks          = lt_objectlinks

      documentdescriptions = lt_documentdescriptions

      longtexts            = lt_longtexts

      statuslog            = lt_statuslog

      documentfiles        = lt_documentfiles "<===store the attachment files

      components           = lt_components

      characteristicvalues = lt_characteristicvalues

      classallocations     = lt_classallocations

      documentstructure    = lt_bapi_doc_structure

      whereusedlist        = lt_whereusedlist.

4. Filter those file attributes like file name/extension/creation time etc inside lt_documentfiles.

5. Load the Content of the Physical document Object into an Internal Table through ‘SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT’ according to lt_documentfiles-file_id.

ls_object_id-class = 'DMS_PCD1'.

  ls_object_id-objid = wa_document_file_id-file_id.

  call function 'SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT'

    exporting

      object_id           = ls_object_id

      client              = sy-mandt

    tables

      file_access_info    = l_file_access_info

      file_content_binary = l_file_content_binary

    exceptions

      not_existing        = 1

      not_authorized      = 2

      no_content          = 3

      bad_storage_type    = 4

      others              = 5.

6. Convert the files’ Binary content into XSTRING with ‘SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING’.

call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'

        exporting

          input_length  = l_file_detail-file_size

          first_line    = l_file_detail-first_line

          last_line     = l_file_detail-last_line

        importing

          buffer        = r_file_in_binary

        tables

          binary_tab    = l_file_content_binary

        exceptions

          error_message = 1

          others        = 2.

7. Finally, convert Xstring to Solix with cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix and send an email with BCS.

gt_attach_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( gv_pdf_xstring ).

    gv_attach_size = xstrlen( gv_pdf_xstring ).

    CL_DOCUMENT_BCS->add_attachment( i_attachment_type    = lv_file_type

                                     i_attachment_subject = lv_file_subject

                                     i_attachment_size    = gv_attach_size

                                     i_att_content_hex    = gt_attach_content

                                                             ).
