BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 does not check-in files via DotNet Connector

[former_member356497]

Hi Experts,

<p>

I need to call attach a Document/File to technical place via RFC (DotNet Connector). So i created FB Z_ATTACH_DOCUMENT), which calls BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2.<br>

I dont want to call BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 directly from my .net app, because there will be some ABAP code added in future.

<p>

Function below works OK when i call it via SE37. But when i call it via DotNet Connector from vb.net, the Document Info Record is not created (BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 returns no document number) and i get this from return parameter:<p>

Field: ""<br>

Id: "26"<br>

Log_Msg_No: "000000"<br>

Log_No: ""<br>

Message: "Fehler beim Einchecken und Ablegen von C:
temp
temp.lec"<br>

Message_V1: "C:
temp
temp.lec"<br>

Message_V2: ""<br>

Message_V3: ""<br>

Message_V4: ""<br>

Number: "253"<br>

Parameter: ""<br>

Row: 0<br>

System: "T01CLNT001"<br>

Type: "E"<br>

<p>

Problem seems to be with StorageCategory. If i leave f-Storagecategory blank while calling BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2, the DIR will be created and linked with the technical place, but the original file won't get checked in.

I fond note 504692, and tried to first create the DIR and then check-in the file via CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN, but the error remains the same.

<p>

I connect via DotNec Connector with same user login as with SAP GUI, so there should be no problems with permissions.

<p>

We use SAP/R3 ECC6.0

Hi,

the solution was to add parameters hostname and pf_ftp_dest (hostname specifies the host, where the calling process runs).

  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'
    EXPORTING
      documentdata = ls_doc
      hostname        = hostname
      pf_ftp_dest     = 'SAPFTPA'
*      pf_http_dest    = 'SAPHTTP'
    IMPORTING
      documenttype    = lf_doctype
      documentnumber  = lf_docnumber
      documentpart    = lf_docpart
      documentversion = lf_docversion
      return = return
    TABLES
      documentdescriptions = itabtexts
      objectlinks = itabobjectlinks
      documentfiles = itabfiles.
  .

Hi, what is meant with hostname exactly?

- my local machine name which starts the rfc?

- the application server name which uses the rfc?
