Convert SOFM object to Binary format

Former Member

Hi all,

I need to update the absence infotype record with the attachment after the employee's leave request is approved by the manager

I have the attachment in my workflow work item. I can extract the attachment from workflow using the FM - SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS. However this is returning the attachment in SOFM Object.

We thought of using following FM's to create the archive and add a link to PREL Object with proper key:

1. ARCHIVE_CREATE_FILE which takes filepath as input.

2. ARCHIVE_CREATE_TABLE accepts binary objects as input

So, we are struck now at converting the SOFM Object either into a file or to a binaryobject format so that we can use any of the above FMs.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Someone found solution for something like this?

I've got the same problem.

I give user opurtunity to choose file from PC and attache it to the WF when i start it from mu custom program/screen.

It's going inside as SOFM object and going thrugh all WF steps.

At the end of the WF i wannt to archive this or make it as GOS object.

It's a vendor master data WF.

Thanks
