• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD152 - You cannot send emails in HTML with separate MIMEs (ZIP file only) ?

  The SAP error message RSRD152 indicates that there is an issue with sending emails in HTML format when using separate MIME types, specifically when the content is packaged as a ZIP file. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Intelligence (BI) or SAP Business Warehouse (BW) when trying to distribute reports or documents via email.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  MIME Type Configuration: The system is configured to send emails with separate MIME types, but the content being sent is in HTML format and is packaged as a ZIP file. This combination is not supported.
  Email Format Restrictions: SAP has certain restrictions on how emails can be formatted and sent, especially when it comes to HTML content and attachments.
  System Settings: The settings in the SAP system for email distribution may not be correctly configured to handle HTML emails with ZIP attachments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRD152 error, you can consider the following solutions:
  
  
  Change Email Format:
  
  Instead of sending the report in HTML format, consider sending it in a different format (e.g., PDF or Excel) that does not require separate MIME types.
  If HTML format is necessary, ensure that the content is not packaged as a ZIP file.
  
  
  
  Adjust Distribution Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the SAP system for the report distribution. Ensure that the MIME type settings are compatible with the content being sent.
  If you are using a custom distribution method, review the code or configuration to ensure it adheres to SAP's requirements for email distribution.
  
  
  
  Use Inline HTML:
  
  If you need to send HTML content, consider embedding the HTML directly in the email body instead of sending it as a separate MIME type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to email distribution and MIME types to ensure compliance with the system's requirements.
