    Hi all,
    I wants to learn <b>BAPIs,BADIs and User exits</b> so please help me in finding the right material to learn these thing with practicle knowledge
    Thanks,

    Hai Girish
    Check the following Documents
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    I have answered this question before..
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).

    User Exits
    Screen exits are exits that allow you to use a reserved part of the screen (A subscreen) to display or input data.
    It is determined be SAP where the sub screen will be displayed.
    The syntax is: CALL CUSTOMER-SUBSCREEN
    The screen exit is not processed untill the corresponding subscreen has been created in an enhancement project,
    and the project has been activated.
    Note:
    Function codes are only processed in the main screens flow logic
    You are not allowed to enter a name for the subscreens command field
    You are not allowed to define GUI stauses
    You are not allowed to enter a value for Next screen
    The global data of the program is not available for the subscreen. Data for the subscreen is provided by function modules.
    These function modules belongs to the same function group as the subscreen Subscreens are edited with transaction CMOD.
    When you activate a project containg subscreens, the calling screen is regenerated and the subscreen is displayed next
    time you display the calling screen
    The developer must create the subscreen and the corresponding PBO and PAI modules
    How to identify screen exits
    Look after CALL CUSTOMER-SUBSCREEN in the screenprogram of the screen you want to modify.
    Use transaction CMOD menu Utillities -> SAP enhancements to search for screen exits
    MENU EXITS
    Menu exits allow you to add your own functionallity to menus. Menu exits are implemented by SAP, and are reserved menu
    entries in the GUI interface. The developer can add his/her own text and logic for the menu.
    Function codes for menu exits all start with "+"
    Example
    We want to create a new menu item in the Office menu. The text for the menu should be "Run ZTEST", and the menu will
    run report ZTEST.
    Goto transaction SE43 Area Menu Maintenance
    In Area Menu Paramenter type 'S000' (S triple Zero)
    Select Change and ignore all the warning screens
    Expand the office menu. In the buttom of the office tree you will find a menu named "Customer function"
    Double click on the text. In the pop-up screen change the text to "Run ZTEST". Note that the trsnaction code is +C01
    Goto transaction SE93 and create transaction +C01 that calls report ZTEST.
    Now you will se the menu displayed in the office tree. If you delete transaction +C01 again, the new menu will dissapear.
    USER EXITS
    User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
    The code for the function module is writeen by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
    but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
    The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is: EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
    The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as: CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
    Example:
    The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
    If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION i program SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits):
    CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
    exporting
    xvbak = vbak
    xvbuk = vbuk
    xkomk = tkomk
    importing
    lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
    tables
    xvbfa = xvbfa
    xvbap = xvbap
    xvbup = xvbup.
    The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003
    2. How to find user exits
    Display the program where you are searching for and exit and search for CALL CUSTOMER-EXIT
    If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD. Choose menu Utillities->SAP Enhancements.
    Enter the exit name and press enter.
    You will now come to a screen that shows the function module exits for the exit.
    3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements
    We want to create a project to enahance trasnaction VA01
    Go to transaction CMOD
    Create a project called ZVA01
    Choose the Enhancement assign radio button and press the Change button
    In the first column enter V45A0002 Predefine sold-to party in sales document . Note that an enhancement can only
    be used i 1 project. If the enhancement is allready in use, and error message will be displayed
    Press Save
    Press Components. You can now see that enhancement uses user exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002. Double click on the exit.
    Now the function module is displayed. Double click on include ZXVVAU04 in the function module
    Insert the following code into the include: E_KUNNR = '2155'.
    Activate the include program. Go back to CMOD and activate the project.
    Goto transaction VA01 and craete a salesorder. Note that Sold-to-party now automatically is "2155"

  • Do we need to create a bapi, badi and how can I use them

    Hi all,
    Please write me about the topics at subject.
    Will I use BAPI with Java or C# or VB, whatever...
    And for example for what I will use BADI.
    Could you provide me code sample to use these?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    I have answered this question before..
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Example Code
    U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
    U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

    Bdc to Bapi
    The steps to be followed are :
    1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
    for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
    2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
    2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
    -> Importing structures.
    eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
    -> Tables parameters:
    eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
    Note :
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
    Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
    U = change
    D = delete
    I = add
    Example
    1. Delete the whole order
    2. Delete order items
    3. Change the order
    4. Change the configuration
    Notes
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
    For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
    Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
    Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
    Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
    my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
    You need to have com4abap.exe
    If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
    else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
    after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
    for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
    Invoke NEW DCOM session
    call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
    exporting
    service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
    importing
    worker_dest = worker_dest
    exceptions
    connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
    connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
    others = 3.
    call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    clsid = g_c_clsid
    typelib = g_c_typelib
    importing
    instid = g_f_oid
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.
    call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    %instid = g_f_oid
    %method = 'UpdatePDF'
    sntemp = g_v_const_filent
    snsysid = sy-sysid

    rssaptable = g_t_pdfdetail1
    %return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.

    BADI(Business Add-In) is the object oriented method of user exits...
    Each BAdI has a definition and more than one implementation. The definition means the methods(in class concept) that are used for performing various functions. The BAdI definition can be viewed in SE18 transaction(for standard ones) and user-defined BAdIs can be created in the same transaction as well.
    When you create a BAdI definition, an class interface will be automatically created and you can define your methods in the interface. The implementation of the methods can be done in SE19 transaction

  • BAPI & BADI

    Hi SAP SD/ABAP Gurus!
         Can you please explain me what is BAPI & BADI and what is the difference between BAPI & BADI?
    please mail me at [email protected]
    Highly rewarded.
    Regards

    Hi,
    BAPI : BAPI basically works like a function module. the major difference being that it can work like a RFC. That means it can work from system to system. Mostly the name of a BAPI can be seen in se37 by just giving BAPI_* F4 and you will see a lot of BAPIS.
    BADI : BADI is a new concept and are also known as Business Addins. SE18 and SE19 are the two transactions which are used to make a BADI. Mostly BADIS are not made but selected from what is given in SAP. These are similar to user-exits but are method based. One can say it is an extension to the user exits. If one has an issue in which one has to change so existing things in SAP then BADI can be used. First one has to define it and then find out a suitable implementation for the issue concerned.
    Thanks

  • List of BAPI, BADI, User Exits

    Hi !
    I need to get the following points for my boss:
    1.)  A list of the BAPIs that are IN USE at our system.
    2.)  A list of BADIs that are IN USE at our system.
    3.)  A list of User Exits that are IN USE at our system.
    Any idea / Transactioncodes etc. where I can get these informations?
    Please help me out, I've got no clue from BAPI, BADIs and User Exits.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Matthias

    Hello Stangl,
    I can give the list of BAPI ,BADI and USER EXITS.
    but i will not give
    there simple way to find all these things.
    for BAPIS
    suppose u want know the related BAPIS to the program u have to do
    system->status->program name->attributes->package..take the package name goto tcode SE80 and give the package name u willl find the FM in
    all the FM starts with Bapis those bapi FMs.
    For BADIs
    system->status->program name->attributes->package..
    se18->F4->package name - u will get the realated BAIDs
    For user exits

  • Diff... between  ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI --- Not clear and clarify

    Hi All
        I am learning XI and the difference between " ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI "
        Not clear and when to use what and how in point of XI ?
       Pl..clarify me
    Adv..thanks and points
    --- Rakesh Behera

    Hi
    This will expalin you every thing ...pl..go through
    The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.
    I hope this will help you to understand the difference bet..those

  • Any nice documents on BADIs and BAPIs. why they are used for.

    Any nice documents on BADIs and BAPIs. Because i got a requirement that. any co is using a unified systems. from that i need to integrate with a BW. i have a meeting on next week. i need to prepare for it. any onejust got any documents of this regard is very useful.
    Thanks in advance

  • IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI

    Hi,
    I want to understand the difference between IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI in context to a functional consultant.what is the role of each with an EXAMPLE.I want to basically understand with examples w.r.t SD or MM instead of theory which i could get in forum.
    What is the role of a functional SD consultant, in these technology mentioned?
    If i have to Test a BAPI or BADI what is that i should test???what is the T codes to be tested ? How to go about it??
    Like in case of Order to cash testing, i will check if the sales cycle runs well, using T codes, Va01, vl01n, vf01.
    Awaiting reply.
    Thanks

    Hi Lekshmi,
    I want to understand the difference between IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI in context to a functional consultant.
    what is the role of each with an EXAMPLE.
    I want to basically understand with examples w.r.t SD or MM instead of theory which i could get in forum.
    What is the role of a functional SD consultant, in these technology mentioned?
    Idoc/ALE/BAPI/BADI are basically advanced functionalities available in ABAP. These are treated as seperate module by somebody as "Cross Applications".
    If we get in
    IDOC is the concept which works for Third party communication from SAP.
    Scenarion 1:
    For example: I am a Buyer from your Company and i don't have SAP system where you have SAP Practice. I had given you one Order for which i need Confirmation and it needs to understand by my system. In this case IDOC is useful to transfer the confirmation details to my system understandable language. This can be acheived by any other outputs like e-Mail/Printout/Fax. But for these kind of Outputs thers is one limitation. those are in document form means if you take the print out it confirmation can be taken as a print out as a hard copy or soft coy by saving into PDF format. but that data cannot be accessed by my system to convert that data for further my own reporting purpose. if we use IDOCs.
    These Idocs are transferred through Middleware and reach third party system (in this example my own system which does not have SAP) and store the details. later i can use that data how ever i can for my internal reporting purpose.
    Scenario 2:
    ALE: ALE also works like above, but the difference is this works for SAP-SAP communication. if i take the above example.... I have SAP System being a buyer and you have SAP sytem. Order Confirmaiton come from your system to my system.
    If i have to Test a BAPI or BADI what is that i should test???what is the T codes to be tested ? How to go about it??
    Like in case of Order to cash testing, i will check if the sales cycle runs well, using T codes, Va01, vl01n, vf01.
    There is no such tcodes to test the enhancement functionality.
    I assume you knows SAP SD.
    If i take the example of SD Sales Order.
    PO Number field is to explain the enhancement testing.
    Your client enhanced the functionality of PO Number for which you are doing the testing for example.
    now you get inside of the VA01 transaction and put all the headeer data and PO Number and press enter.
    then based on the enhancement functionality system will act.
    For example.. you had given AAA111 for Customer 123456.
    You have entered Inside of VA01 and entered Sold and Shipto numbers as 123456. then entered PO number as BBB111 and press enter.
    As per the enhancement you suppose to enter PO number as AAA111 for customer 123456, but you entered as BBB111.
    Based on your enhancements system will through the error saying you entered wrong PO Number.
    This is the testing part usually Functional Guy do.
    Please let me know if you have any further clarification
    Thanks & Regards
    Venkat

  • Ale,idocs,edi,bapi,badi

    Hi Guru,
    Can u give me the detail idea and configuration steps in a sequence of the following -ALE,IDOCS,EDI,BAPI,BADI
    your perfect answer would be very helpful and i will cosider u as a real hiro in sap abap in my mind and heart

    Hi Manas,
    EDI
    EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.It is mainly an interface which acts as a moderator between SAP and non SAP system.EDI is used to transfer Datas to R/3 from NonSAP system or Other SAP system.
    EDI uses IDOC as its interface component.Which mean EDI is a concept and IDOC is like protocol.
    EDI is configured in the R/3. It has Outbound folder and indboud folder.
    Outbound folder:This contains the data to be send to the nonSAP system
    Inbound folder:
    This contains the data from the nonSAP to R/3 or SAP system.
    status processing
    This holds the status of message from SAP to NonSAP and from Non-SAP to SAP. So that if any error occurs in transfereing Message it is easily traced out.

    u can check the below the material also
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Example Code
    U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
    U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

    Bdc to Bapi
    The steps to be followed are :
    1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
    [for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
    2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
    2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
    -> Importing structures.
    eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
    -> Tables parameters:
    eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
    Note :
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
    Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
    U = change
    D = delete
    I = add
    Example
    1. Delete the whole order
    2. Delete order items
    3. Change the order
    4. Change the configuration
    Notes
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
    For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
    Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
    Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
    Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
    my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
    You need to have com4abap.exe
    If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
    else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
    after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
    for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
    Invoke NEW DCOM session
    call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
    exporting

  • ALE/IDOC/BAPI/BADI/EDI

    Hi,
    ABAP GURUS
    I am a new bie to SAP .Now I want to learn the following things :-
    ALE
    IDOC
    BAPI
    BADI
    EDI
    My doubt is that which should be learned first so that I can understand them more effectively. It may be possible that is not a question to ask but please guide me and also provide me some good links of ppt which gives me the complete overview of all these and the steps to use them.
    Thanks In Advance
    Bharti Jain

    Hi Bharti,
    EDI is Electronic Data Interchange, and is not linked to any technology, is just the definition of the communication of data using electronic equipment. ALE is Application link enabled, and is used by SAP to communicate data between systems, to build distributed systems, using electronic communication.
    iDoc is a data format to send and receive data, then, can be used for EDI and ALE.
    Bapi and Badi are programming tools, that allow to modify the data in the system, and also, a BAPI can be used to send data to other systems, but, in short, are just functions.

    Hi
    Welcome to SDN
    BAPI
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

    Bdc to Bapi
    The steps to be followed are :
    1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
    [for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
    2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
    2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
    -> Importing structures.
    eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
    -> Tables parameters:
    eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
    Note :
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
    Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
    U = change
    D = delete
    I = add
    Example
    1. Delete the whole order
    2. Delete order items
    3. Change the order
    4. Change the configuration
    Notes
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
    For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
    Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
    Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
    Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
    my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
    You need to have com4abap.exe
    If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
    else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
    after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
    for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
    Invoke NEW DCOM session
    call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
    exporting
    service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
    importing
    worker_dest = worker_dest
    exceptions
    connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
    connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
    others = 3.
    call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    clsid = g_c_clsid
    typelib = g_c_typelib
    importing
    instid = g_f_oid
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.
    call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    %instid = g_f_oid
    %method = 'UpdatePDF'
    sntemp = g_v_const_filent
    snsysid = sy-sysid
    snflag = 'N'
    tables
    rssaptable = g_t_pdfdetail1
    %return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.
    then close the com session , using
    FM delete_com_instance
    FM END_COM_SESSION
