What is the easiest way to download a document from SAP DMS with C#?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've been sifting through this forum and looked at various posts and sample code, but so far my quest hasn't been fruitful.

What is the easiest way to download a physical document file from SAP DMS using C#? I'm using the NCo 3 (SAP .NET

Connector 3).

Requirements

- As few dependencies as possible (not adding or changing functionality in SAP)

- C# code (MS Visual Studio 2012)

- SAP Environment: NetWeaver 7.4.0

Thanks for all help.

Regards,

Frank

We've been using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUT2, but there seems to be a limitation. From what I've found on Google, you must enable the use of the SAPGUI through the flag UseSAPGUI when connecting to SAP.  It works, but my issue is that when I use it on a web server, I end up with some error when trying to start the GUI.  There is very little recent information for this out there right now.

What I've found/tried so far

- SAP seems to have disabled call backs in saphttp and sapftp from NCo 3 for security reasons

- Function module "SCMS_DOC_READ" cannot be used for 'remote' calls
