Transmission Media (SAP Library - Message Control (CA-GTF-BS))

Transmission Media

Definition

The transmission media determine the type of processing. The following transmission media are available:

1 Print output

2 Fax

4 Telex

5 Sending externally with a communication strategy

6 EDI: The partner must be defined here as an EDI partner (see Partner profiles)

7 Sending a mail

8 Special function

A Distribution (ALE) The partner is derived from the distribution model

T Workflow task

You can use the special functions for your own programs. For example, you could call a warehouse management system via CPI-C (Common Programming Interface-Communication).

Integration

Table TNAPR contains information about which processing programs should be transferred for the relevant transmission medium for the dispatch of the message. New processing also requires corresponding entries.

Example

Messages which are to be sent as mails are linked with a program which calls the Business Communication Interface.
Messages which are to be printed or faxed are linked with a program which contains both a call to the program which determines the print data and the name of the SAPscript form to be used.
Messages which are to be processed via the communication strategy are linked to a program which contains the Include RVADOPFO for evaluation of this strategy.
