GET_WITH_FILES/URL/TABLE/AS_TABLE (SAP Library - Business Document Service (BC-SRV-BDS))

GET_WITH_FILES/URL/TABLE/AS_TABLE

These methods are used to retrieve a document. Four different methods are available:

GET_WITH_FILES

GET_WITH_TABLE

GET_WITH_AS_TABLE

GET_WITH_URL

The difference between these methods is the source from which the data is retrieved. The source can either be a file name, a table or a URL.

The application object (Document Set) is identified by the attributes described in the section Parameters.

The method GET_WITH_FILES is identified by the following additional parameters:

The target directory is transferred in the table FILES .

This table is used to limit the number of hits when the method is called and afterwards for information.

The method GET_WITH_TABLE is identified by the following additional parameters:

The method GET_WITH_AS_TABLE is identified by the following additional parameters:

The method GET_WITH_URL is identified by the following additional parameters:

SIGNATURE

COMPONENTS

The entire contents are available in this table.

This table only specifies the URL that points to the document.

URL_LIFETIME

Time period for validity, lifetime. This parameter can have two different meanings:

This parameter is used only for R/3 System URLs. It specifies the lifetime of the URL and the URL that this URL points to. If the content of the document is in the R/3 database, URL_LIFETIME is used to control the lifetime of the table, on the client.

For more information, see the documentation for the function module DP_CREATE_URL, in particular the documentation for the parameter LIFETIME .

If GET_WITH_URL returns a general URL on an external content server, the lifetime results from the validity of the URL, which is a maximum of two hours. The prerequisite for this is the use of a digital signature.
