Use
Outgoing documents are stored synchronously. Outgoing documents created in SAPscript or SAP Smart Forms are stored using transactional RFC.
Outgoing documents are only in PDF format; they are no longer created in OTF Format.
Advantages of synchronous storing
Prerequisites
All transactional RFC calls are stored with the ABAP language element
COMMIT WORK in the database. These RFC calls thus constitute a Logical Unit of Work (LUW).It is assumed that a
COMMIT WORK usually ensues after calling the SAPscript/SAP Smart Forms function module in the relevant SAP application. If this is not the case, it is possible to transfer the value "Commit" when calling the function module (for example, OPEN_FORM) in the import parameter ARCHIVE_INDEX-RESERVE(6). If this value is set, a COMMIT WORK is triggered by an ArchiveLink function module.COMMIT WORK
is not allowed during posting. If the value "Commit" is set in the import parameter ARCHIVE_INDEX-RESERVE(6) to trigger a COMMIT WORK in the ArchiveLink function module, there must be no posting active. Otherwise there is a runtime error COMMIT_IN_POSTING.For more information, see
