e-Mail XML messages in PDF format from SAP XI.

[STALANKI]

I propose one more way to send xml messages from XI as a PDF attachment that does not exploit spool. It can be easy to use and probably be handy too.

Pre-Requsite: SAPConnect has to be configured appropriately on SAP XI.
Validity : If you are using WAS >=6.10 AND WAS <6.40 then implement the note 633265.For WAS>=6.40 note need not be implemented.
Settings to be done in SCOT :Double click the SMTP node in the SCOT transaction and set the internet address as shown below.

Set the output format of SAP for RAW Text as PDF .

Create RFC: Create RFC YXI_SEND_MAIL_ PDF_ATT in SE37 with the following parameters and source code:
Import Parameters :
SUBJECT type SO_OBJ_DES //Subject of the Mail
ATTACH_NAME1 type SOOD-OBJDES //Attachment Name
Tables Parameter :
IT_CONTENT type SOLI_TAB //Content of the Mail
IT_ATTACH type SOLI_TAB //Attachment data that has to be sent in PDF Format
Source Code Extract:

That is all! Test this using SE37 editor by passing sample content and attachment data and check whether you are able to view the PDF in your mail box before you configure a scenario in Integration Builder. We are ready to trigger XML messages as e-mails in the PDF format. Just map this RFC message to the XML message that has to be sent as an email from the integration repository. Map the content of mail to the node IT_CONTENT and attachment data to the node IT_ATTACH in the message mapping.
