Communication error when calling web service for checkin and checkout files

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to checkout and also to checkin files within the DMS via web service. The files are stored in the VAULT (=TRESOR) without the data server parth and DVA computer.

For checkout:

• Original zum Ändern auschecken

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTMODIFY2'

EXPORTING

documenttype = pi_documenttype

documentnumber = pi_documentnumber

documentpart = pi_documentpart

documentversion = pi_documentversion

documentfile = lf_documentfiles

pf_http_dest = ''

pf_ftp_dest = ''

• statusextern = lf_status

IMPORTING

return = lf_return

checkedoutfile = ls_checkedoutfile.

and for checkin:

• Dokument einchecken

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2'

EXPORTING

documenttype = pi_documenttype

documentnumber = pi_documentnumber

documentpart = pi_documentpart

documentversion = pi_documentversion

hostname = ''

statusintern = ''

• statusextern = lf_status

statuslog = ''

IMPORTING

return = lf_return

TABLES

documentfiles = lt_files.

But it is not working cause I always get a 'communication error' from the function CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER when calling one of these BAPIs via web service:

IF pf_check_gui = 'X'.

CLEAR: gf_gui_exist,

gf_gui_checked.

CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_PING'

DESTINATION 'SAPGUI'

EXCEPTIONS: communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE lf_msg_text

system_failure = 2 MESSAGE lf_msg_text.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

gf_gui_exist = 'X'.

ELSE.

CLEAR gf_gui_exist.

ENDIF.

gf_gui_checked = 'X'.

ENDIF.

Afterwards the following function is called where I got the error 'Program no longer started via RFC. No return possible.':

• ----------------------------------------------------------------------

• -> Vault with DVA -> ** Start FTP on the client

• ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FUNCTION 'SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER'

EXPORTING: progname = 'sapftp'

startmode = '' " X

exclusiv = 'Y'

waittime = 500

startcomp = 'C' " G=gui, C=RFC

startpara = ' '

IMPORTING: err_code = lf_errno

err_mess = lf_error_msg

destination = pfx_destination.

Hi! I am facing the same problem in function SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER.

Even the SAP Support did not propose any working solution.

So if you solved it our, please let us know.

Best regards

Hi, did you ever solve this issue with SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER?  I am having the same problem.  Thanks.

Hi! As mentioned below I had the same problem.

There are two notes concerning security setting of the SAP Gateway:

1069911 - GW: Changes to the ACL list of the gateway (reginfo)

1480644 -  gw/acl_mode versus gw/reg_no_conn_info

Your basis team should check if the Gateway settings allow external programs to register on the gateway.

Best regards

Dominik
