[ABAP] send mail with private flag (sensitivity)

[raffi1]

Hi altogether,

I am sending infomails from SAP-system using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. Customer wants to have the mails with the private flag.

So I tested it sending the mails with the sensitivity flag of domain SO_OBJ_SNS. We tried P and E. But both do not represent the private flag. P sends the mail with the correct flag which is confidential in outlook.

Sending mails with E does not show any flag.

So to summarize: Both, P and E do not represent the sensitivity private in outlook. The other possible values (F and G) were not tested but do not sound like private.

Did I miss something or is it not possible to send mails with private sensitivity.

thanks and best regards

Christian

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 is obsolete. Use the CL_BCS... classes instead. They're easier to use, and may have the functionality you're look for.

It's recommended to use CL_BCS, SO functions are obsolete (but I wouldn't think that CL_BCS adds a new feature about sensitivity).

The note 1090262 - Enhancement of the 'Sensitivity' sending attribute explains how it works in SAP:

• [SAP values in Business Workplace are:]
• Standard
• Confidential
• Functional
• The 'Confidential' value is set to 'Private' in the MIME attribute if you are sending a document to an external email address. The other sensitivity values have no effect when documents are sent to external email addresses.
• [so, Private is supported by SAP]
• [In the changed code, I see:]
• case object_hd_change-objsns.
  when 'E'. " personal
  perform objhead_param_set in program sapfssoa
  using '&SO_SENSITIVITY'
  'PERSONAL'
  changing l_objhead.
  object_hd_change-objsns = 'P'.
  objhead[] = l_objhead[].
  when 'G'. " business
  perform objhead_param_set in program sapfssoa
  using '&SO_SENSITIVITY'
  'CONFIDENTIAL'
  changing l_objhead.
  object_hd_change-objsns = 'P'.

So, I guess that the value 'G' should do what you're looking for.

NB: not sure whether 'F' is valid (too bad (!) you tried P and E, but it was the last value G).

Hi Sandra,

thanks for this hint. We will try this with G and if necessary class cl_bcs.

short status: At the moment the best we get is a confidential.

I am now in contact with SAP. G marked the mails as confidential, too.

Today I got the final answer from SAP: the feature is not implemented in sap

That's a pitty. So I now have to go through solutions outside of SAP.
