Sync ABAP Server Proxy - Attachment in Response possible ?

[szymon_bolek]

Hi I need to send an attachment in a synchronous ABAP Server Proxy.

I proceeded as follows:

1. design sync inbound interface in PI

2. generate abap server proxy

3. implement this abap proxy

4. tried to attach file to response like this:

    data server_context type ref to if_ws_server_context.
    data attachment_prot type ref to if_wsprotocol_attachments.
    data attachment          type ref to if_ai_attachment.
    data attachments         type prx_attach.
    data lo_protocol         type ref to if_wsprotocol.
    data lo_payload_protocol type ref to if_wsprotocol_payload.
    try.
        server_context = cl_proxy_access=>get_server_context(
               ).



        attachment_prot ?= server_context->get_protocol( if_wsprotocol=>attachments ).
        attachment = attachment_prot->get_attachment_from_binary(
            data       = lv_xdata
            type       = if_ai_attachment=>c_mimetype_pdf
            name       = 'my attachment'
               ).
        append attachment to attachments.
        attachment_prot->set_attachments( attachments ).
      catch cx_ai_system_fault .
        output-mt_get_documents_resp-fault-fault_text = 'cx_ai_system_fault'.
        output-mt_get_documents_resp-fault-fault_url = 'ERR001'.
    endtry.

However I cannot see any attachment in the response.

Q1: is it possible at all to create attachments in sync server abap proxy?

Q2: if it is, what is wrong with my coding?

cheers

Yes, it is 100 percent possible

Refer this blog for Q1 and Q2

Baskar,

Yes thank you I did see this blog already. However it is commenting asynch communication initialized by NW application server.

I am talking about sync communication initialized by 3rd party system calling ABAP proxy and giving a response. To this response I would like to attach a file.

best regards

I have the same issue. Any help on this would be great

[stefan_grube]

Working with attachments in server proxies has to be coded differently compared to client proxies and there is no code sample or other hint in online help.

I recommend to open an OSS ticket for this, as someone from SAP should enhance the online help.

Sorry, I do not have a code sampe.

Hello,

I found your message, I have the same problem than you.

I want send an attachments in response in synchronous proxy, I wrote code similar than you, but, I can't see the attachment too.

Can you resolve the error?

Thanks in Advance!

Veronica,

Unfortunately, this was not possible, due to the system EHP state.

First after upgrade this functionality will be possible ( ECC 6.0 EHP5 - corresponding to NW AS EHP2 )

For an example, as Stefan pointed out, you might want to open OSS if your system is up-to-date and you need one.

best regards
