Re: Save archived PDF to local pc

juraj14 · ‎05-22-2020

Hi, my requirement is to save multiple archived pdf files to destination on local PC. I am trying to use "ARCHIV_GET_TABLE" to get the archived pdf in binary form and than pass it do "GUI_DOWNLOAD". It is kinda working but saved pdf is corrupted. What i found out is that i am getting weird data from "ARCHIV_GET_TABLE" even tho sy-subrc after execution is 0. When i open the saved pdf in notepad apparently something is wrong. Here is the content of opened pdf.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="sk-sk" dir="ltr">

<script type="text/javascript"> require(["ecm/widget/BookmarkPane"], function(BookmarkPane) { // Adding the bookmark pane programmatically since searchCriteriaJson may contain markup that would cause the Dojo parser to fail var pane = new BookmarkPane({ id: "ECMWebUI", browserLocale: "sk-sk", searchCriteriaJson: "", style: "width: 100%; height: 100%" }); pane.placeAt(dojo.body(), "first"); pane.startup(); });</script></body></html>

Here is the code i am using. Archived object surely exist, i can open it through OAAD using IBM content manager. Migh be the problem in using IBM archive ? Thanks for any advice.

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIV_GET_TABLE'
 EXPORTING
 AR_OBJECT = 'ZOZEO'
 OBJECT_ID = '9000000887'
 SAP_OBJECT = 'VBRK'
 IMPORTING
* LENGTH =
 BINLENGTH = LV_BINFILESIZE
 TABLES
 ARCHIVOBJECT = GT_ARCHIVOBJECT[]
 BINARCHIVOBJECT = GT_BINARCHIVOBJECT[]

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
 EXPORTING
" BIN_FILESIZE = LV_BINFILESIZE
 FILENAME = lv_filename
 FILETYPE = 'BIN'
 TABLES
 DATA_TAB = GT_BINARCHIVOBJECT[]

You can try below Logic.

Get ARCHIV_ID and ARC_DOC_ID from TOA01 Table by passing SAP_OBJECT and OBJECT_ID.

In LT_BIN, you will have the binary data

SELECT *
FROM TOA01
INTO ls_toa01
WHERE SAP_OBJECT = 'VBRK' AND
OBJECT_ID = '9000000887'.


  CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_DOC_READ'
    EXPORTING
      mandt                 = sy-mandt
      stor_cat              = lv_stor
      crep_id               = ls_toa01-archiv_id
      doc_id                = ls_toa01-arc_doc_id
    TABLES
      access_info           = lt_acess
*     CONTENT_TXT           =
      content_bin           = lt_bin
    EXCEPTIONS
      bad_storage_type      = 1
      bad_request           = 2
      unauthorized          = 3
      comp_not_found        = 4
      not_found             = 5
      forbidden             = 6
      conflict              = 7
      internal_server_error = 8
      error_http            = 9
      error_signature       = 10
      error_config          = 11
      error_format          = 12
      error_parameter       = 13
      error                 = 14
      OTHERS                = 15.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
  ENDIF.

I tried your Logic, but result is same, corrupted PDF file which has weird content as i posted in my original question..

Sandra_Rossi · ‎05-23-2020

What I see is that you correctly decided to work with the files as binary (BINARCHIVOBJECT, FILETYPE = 'BIN')

But if you don't use this parameter in GUI_DOWNLOAD:

BIN_FILESIZE = LV_BINFILESIZE

then you'll get extra 00 bytes which don't exist in the archived file...

Sandra_Rossi · ‎05-23-2020

Excuse me, but did you really say "i open the saved pdf in notepad"? notepad for PDF? What do you mean? Could you show a screenshot because I don't understand what you mean?

juraj14 · ‎05-24-2020

Well u can open pretty much everything in notepad... Opening PDF file in notepad is of course not optimal but when pdf file is corrupted and u cant open it in pdf reader, opening It in notepad gives u rough idea whats in that file and if its is right or wrong.For some reason i cant insert file even its .txt file and it should be permitted... So atleast i uploaded the .png screen of pdf file opened in notepad.

Okay. I had not understood that you were really thinking that the HTML in your question was PDF. A true PDF file starts with ASCII characters %PDF-1.3 or something close (depends on version).

So, your problem is that you access the Content Management system incorrectly. Can you explain your ABAP program, what is around ARCHIV_GET_TABLE, how you get the archive ID and so on? And how you archived the PDF file?

juraj14 · ‎05-24-2020

PDF file was archived using FM ARCHIV_CREATE_TABLE.

I was doing little bit of research and what i found out is:

1. I tried ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE, ARCHIVEOBJECT_GET_TABLE, ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET and SCMS_HTTP_GET. Result is same, binary version of corrupted PDF (uploaded .png screen).

2. No matter what FILE i am trying to retrieve using FMs above, result (binary result) is always SAME. So i guess the content server is giving me some output no matter of request... or does not understand my request...

Other helpful info:

In OAC0 content is defined:

Document type = ARCHLINK

Storage type = HTTP content server

Link table is TOA01. Stored object type is SEPAMANDAT with custom document type.

I am also facing similiar kind of issue when downloading PDF to desktop using Archive Function module. Is this issue solved by any chance ?
