Problem with offline form - IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS

[former_member194198]

I am trying to set-up the email processing class. The SAP system seems configured correctly because I can send an email to it and it is received by my user in SAP. I can see the email in the Business workplace.

i have configured SCOT / SO50 to add in my class ZCL_EMAIL_RECEIVE which has the interface of IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS. The config entry in SO50 is "Internet Mail", email address, document type "ICS", class "ZCL_EMAIL_RECEIVE, Call ID 1.

I have coded the following simple methods in the class as per instructions on SDN.

In the create instance method, I create an instance if required.

METHOD if_inbound_exit_bcs~create_instance.

IF instance IS INITIAL.

CREATE OBJECT instance.

ENDIF.

ro_ref = instance.

ENDMETHOD.

In the PROCESS_INBOUND method i've put a simple check to see if it running - an update on a table

method IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS~PROCESS_INBOUND.

data : st_test type ze03.

select single * into st_test from ze03 where kunnr = 2.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

st_test-stras = sy-uzeit.

update ze03 from st_test.

else.

st_test-kunnr = 2.

st_test-stras = sy-uzeit.

insert ze03 from st_test.

endif.

e_retcode = if_inbound_exit_bcs=>gc_terminate.

endmethod.

I've tried it with or without a commit. The table never gets updated but the email gets received into SAP by my user. Any ideas why the class doesn't seem to be being run?

Cheers

Richard

hi, try with an asterix (*) instead of ICS in the SO50 and try again....commit is not necessary (causes failures, if you do one)

I've tried replacing the ICS with a * and removing the Commit work but the code still doesn't seem to be being run.

Hi richard,

If you receive the mail in your workplace that means that the incoming mail process is not executed .

Check the e-mail adress you define .

I've checked the email address and it is correct. I've pasted the email out of the config and have sent an email but the ABAP doesn't appear to be triggering.

Any other thoughts?

Does the service SMTP is activate on your host ( use transaction SICF for this )

Look at oss note 455140 here there is all step for configuring

I believe i have the email correctly configured in SICF as I do receive the emails. The problem is that the class does not run. The trace log saysit does, but the code doesn't get executed - I have coded a short dump ( divide by zero ), a table update or a 50 second wait statement but nothing ever happens. The trace below was from an email that seems to have run the ZCL_TEST class via SO50. At that time, there was a 50 second wait statement in the code and nothing appeared in the system process list for the email user.

Hi,

In the log the class ZCL_TEST is launch by the exit . Now perhaps you got a problem inside

Try to add entry in the log also to see what happens.

here is the sample code for adding entries in the current log

************* Add those line at the begining of the process

data w_mes type string .

* Check if Trace for inbound process is activated. 
  CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TRACE_GET_STATE' 
    IMPORTING 
      trace_state_inb = bool_trace_inb 
      trace_state_glob = bool_trace_glob. 

  IF bool_trace_glob = abap_true OR 
     bool_trace_inb = abap_true. 
       trace_bcs = cl_trace_bcs=>get_trace( ). 
       IF trace_bcs IS INITIAL. 
           trace_bcs = cl_trace_bcs=>create_new_trace( 
            i_function = 'My log' 
            i_direction = cl_trace_bcs=>c_inbound ). 
       ENDIF. 
  ENDIF.

w_mes = 'Start processing of my local class' .
if not trace_bcs is initial.
   trace_bcs->success_string( string = w_mes ).
endif.

...........
...........

*********add thoses lines at the end.
w_mes = 'End processing of my local class'.
if not trace_bcs is initial.
   trace_bcs->success_string( string = w_mes ).
endif.

Hope this help you

Regards

Thanks for your help.

The trace messages didn't actually fix the problem, but it did make me look at the code in the CREATE_INSTANCE method one more time. I found that the problem was to do with the instance creation. I had copied the class from another and had not changed the OO reference.

Once I changed

data: ref type ref to CL_APPOINTMENT.

to

data: ref type ref to zcl_test.

it works!.

The trace messages now appear.

Great if it's work now.
