Switching Between Online and Offline Modes (SAP Library - SAP MAPI Service Provider (BC-SRV-GBT))

Switching Between Online and Offline Modes

Prerequisite

Offline support can be activated in your Logon profile.

Procedure

Go into a SAP Message Store folder. The SAP Message Store is the folder with the name <SID><CLNT> SAPoffice - <UNAME>, therefore for example C11003 SAPoffice - SMITH for the system C11, client 003, user Smith.

Choose Extras ® Connect/Disconnect SAP Server.

If you are in offline mode, a logon box is displayed. If you are in online mode, a window is displayed in which you can choose which R/3 objects are processed offline and therefore should be copied to your PC (download).

In offline mode choose Online to change to this mode. In Online mode select the objects that you want to process offline and confirm your entries.

After the mail client has carried out the necessary operations, it notifies you of the new mode.

Note

You can enter and send messages as normal in offline mode. The Send function in client simply places messages in the Outbox.

To synchronize changes press the F5 key in MS Outlook or choose Tools ® Sending and Receiving. Thus, the offline changes are "made" (for example, of work items) in the R/3 System and new mails sent from the Outbox in R/3. Furthermore, newly received mails are displayed in client in R/3.
