In background mode you can't save a file to Presentation server...instead you can save a file to application server in background mode...

Thats Ok. But is there any solution to saving an HTML BDS document to application server directory?

Thanks and Regards,

Well, I solved the problem and wanted to share with all who face this problem and dont have to debug the SAP standard module again and again to reach this point.

I used the following steps to save the BDS HTML/Text documents to local directory in background mode. Infact this solution works for all document types.

1) Get the Physical class and object id for the Business document, using GET_INFO method of CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET

e.g

CALL METHOD cl_bds_document_set=>get_info

EXPORTING

classname = 'BUS2091' "Class name e.g BUS2091 or your custom class

classtype = 'BO' "Class type

object_key = '1000003111' " object key

IMPORTING

extended_components = t_comp " extneded information for the Business dcument

EXCEPTIONS

nothing_found = 1

error_kpro = 2

internal_error = 3

parameter_error = 4

not_authorized = 5

not_allowed = 6

others = 7.

The extneded components table returns the Physical class (CLASS) and object id (OBJID) for all the documents stored under that class, classtype and object id.

2) Use function 'SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT' to get the binary/ascii content for your file

e.g

call function 'SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT'

exporting

object_id = v_phio_object " this is of type SDOKOBJECT and

" has the physical class and objid key

raw_mode = 'X'

tables

file_content_binary = i_content

exceptions

not_existing = 1

not_authorized = 2

no_content = 3

bad_storage_type = 4

others = 5.

In the above case, i have selected raw_mode and the binary content is returned in table I_CONTENT.

3) Step 3 - transfer content to dataset using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET

And thats it
