Allow start of program sapftp in VB for CVAPI_DOC_CREATE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I wrote a VB program that creates documents in SAP via the RFC function module CVAPI_DOC_CREATE.

I already wrote a PHP version of the same program and it works.

Before calling function CVAPI_DOC_CREATE, there is an instruction that allows the sap server to start program sapftp on the client. SAPFTP program is then used to transfer files from client to R/3 server.

PHP version : $rc = saprfc_allow_start_program ("sapftp");

Java version: JCO.setMiddlewareProperty("jco.middleware.allow_start_of_programs", "sapftp")

Does any one knows the VB version of this instruction ?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi Abdel,

the following code can be used to start notepad from a C# programm.

System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Notepad";
myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
myProcess.Start();

Best regards,

Hi Abdel,

how are you doing ?

are you using vb.net or vb 6 ?

it should not be any different than adding any resistered DLL ( for vb 6)

for .net you will need to find the class in the SAP.Connector set of classes ...

Thanks amit,

I'm using VBS version 5.6

Do you know the dll containing this class ?

Thanks

Hi Abdel,

you will need to add reference to librfc32.dll

is there any specific reason you are using vb 5.6 ?

perhaps we could bring you into the mainstream connector usage if you move up to VB .NET

Hi All,

I finally fixed the problem with VB6 by adding :

Private Declare Function RfcAllowStartProgram Lib "librfc32.dll" (ByVal s As String) As Long

Result = RfcAllowStartProgram("sapftp")

The RfcAllowStartProgram function must be called before calling CVAPI_DOC_CREATE function module.
