Call an ABAP program from BIW

Hi experts,
How do I include an abap program in R/3 sandbox in my process chain in BW.
I know how to do it in BW but this program is in the ECC sandbox.
what I did was to create a job in R3 through SM36,this job had two steps one to run my program and another step to call the FM RSPC_ABAP_FINISH,which would inform the PC that the job is executed and continue to the next step.
I was triggering this job trough an event in R3.
In my PC I added a process type ABAP program,where i made an asynchronous call to the event in the ecc sandbox.
But this is not working.Any ideas?

Calling an ABAP program from a document list

Hi,
we have the following problem with a custom ABAP program.
This program executes a lot of user's functions, such as documents creation, material movements creation, and so on.. from a single dynpro.
We would like to call this program from a list of documents with a call-transaction and we would like to come back to the list at the end of all user's activities.
Unfortunately we are not able to use a call_transaction since the program has got many commit_work and, after a call_transaction it stops at the first commit_work.
Is there another way to link a list to an abap program ?
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Hi,
If your Dynpro program is writted in a moduralized way like Form..endForm
you can try calling this form from your list program using the appropriate
values where ever necessary. Like wise the screen/programs also.

Call ABAP program from Unix script passing dynamic filename

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to call an ABAP program from a Unix script passing a dynamic filename to the ABAP program?
We are receiving a file from an external company and on receipt of the file want to call an ABAP program passing the filename. The filename is made up of File ID, Date and Time which we need to read in the ABAP program. We usually use Events to trigger a program which is fine when the filename if static however since this filename will be dynamic we cannot do this. In addition we cannot just rename the file to a static name in the Unix script as we need to know the value of the date and time from the file ID in the ABAP program. I can change the ABAP program to check our /in directory for a Filename that starts with the fixed File ID however I thought there must be a better way of doing this. We want the external company to put this information in a file header record but they don't want to change the file contents. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead.

You could follow the following method
1.Let the external file reside in the SAP application layer in a defined path e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/working/
2.Write an ABAP program which will include the following steps:-
i) read all files in the file path using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
ii) Read the data from files existing in the directory using OPEN_DATASET statement
iii) After the files have been read move the files to another directory e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/backup/ or you can delete the file.
3.Schedule this program to be executed depending on the frequency of the external file being generated.

Calling ABAP Program from a Process Chain

I am calling an ABAP Program from Process Chain by adding a Process Type u201CABAP Programu201D,
My ABAP program writes lots of information using write statements.
I looked in Process Chain Log; I do not see output from Write statement. I am pretty sure my write statements were executed. I also looked in SM37 job log. I do not see any more information.
Where to see the output generated from ABAP.
Thanks.

Hi,
First find out where your ABAP program the data written.You need to write it into and spool then only you can see it.
Transaction SP01, you can use the FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' in your abap program to write to spool.
Thanks,
Ravi

Call ABAP program from a Feature - PE03

We are in process of upgrading from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0. One feature (CSTV1) will not activate because there is a limit on generated programs to under 10,000 ABAP statements. SAP told me to call an ABAP program from the feature to reduce the number of ABAP statements in the generated program. Has anyone created a feature that called an ABAP program? I searched SAP help and I can't find any information about calling a ABAP program.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Ashabraner

Hi Mark,
You can try it this way.. Get the name of the ABAP Program generated by the feature from its attributes. it will be something like '1PAPA/FEAT020Z0106'...May be you can change this program ie put a substantial chunk of this code in a subroutine in another program & call that with a PERFORM from this Program..

Call ABAP Program from outside SAP

Hi all,
How can I call an ABAP program from outside SAP, for example from a C++ executable, a .NET assembly or a JAVA package ? Are their "adapters" provided by SAP for this ?
Angela

Hi Angela,
as mho already stated:
For external connections to ABAP, the sap-proprietary "remote function call (RFC)" is a common way.
SAP delivers an RFC-library for this, and for some development environments SAP even offers a connector on top of this library to make connectivity more easy (SAP Java Connector, SAP Business Connector, SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net). An RFC is always starting function modules in ABAP, not ABAP programs, and these function modules need the attribute "remote-enabled".
(Remark: in the context of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, SAP offers adapters for connectivity, also for ABAP systems.)
For ABAP systems on basis code line 6.20 and above, the remote-enabled function modules can externally be used as web services.
Information on RFC can be found in the SAP Help Portal http://www.help.sap.com, e.g. [RFC Call - Example Program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/733760ccb411d2b4550060941936e3/frameset.htm]. A search in SDN provides links to the Help Portal as well.

This part is beyond the ABAP question, and my guess is pretty simple: like on any other J2EE server.

Calling an ABAP report from a web-dynpro view

Hi,

Hello Samir,
that would mean mixing two different ui technologies and hence it not possible. You can start the report in background though. Please refer to [this list of restrictions and limitations|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/46/82091e304559dbe10000000a1553f6/content.htm] regarding the usage of certain ABAP statements.

Call an ABAP program or a function module from command prompt/python script

Dear All,
I want to call a function module/ABAP program from command prompt or a python script.
Let me explain with an example.
There is a function module "z_add" that takes two integers as input parameters and generates their sum.
the sum is the output parameter.
Now i want to call this function module from command prompt / python script and pass parameters to this function module.
In return i must get the sum(i.e. the output of function module).
I tried using STARTRFC ,was able to call the FM but could not get the return value(output) from FM.
Can you please provide me the code of such a function module and the method to call it thereby passing parameters and getting the sum.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav

    /:       CHANGING &VATNUMBER&
    CE       VAT Registration No : &VATNUMBER&
    REPORT zfi_f140_operations.
    FORM get_vatnumber TABLES in_par STRUCTURE itcsy
                              out_par STRUCTURE itcsy.
      DATA: lv_co_code TYPE bukrs,
            lv_vat_no TYPE stceg.
      READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY name = 'BKPF-BUKRS'.
      MOVE in_par-value TO lv_co_code.
      SELECT SINGLE stceg FROM t001
        INTO lv_vat_no WHERE bukrs = lv_co_code.
      out_par-name = 'VATNUMBER'.
      WRITE lv_vat_no TO out_par-value.
      CONDENSE out_par-value.
      MODIFY out_par INDEX 1.
    ENDFORM.
it is not working and i cannot work out why...
i have not been ABAPing for very long but have had a go....
any thoughts as to what i have done wrong?
or point me where i should be looking? thank you!

CALL A JAVA PROGRAM FROM ABAP -- NEED HELP

Hi all,
Can somebody tell me how to call a java xml code from an ABAP program? First let me know if at all, is it possible to call a java program from SAP that is from an ABAP executable progam?
Please suggest me in this. All your inputs in this is valuable to me and highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

Hi,
Previous explanation i gave is not correct.
ABAP web services expose the function modules outside R/3, so that other technologies like Java can consume that webservice and read the data in R/3 using the function module.
For your requirement, create a Java web service to read the XML. Consume this webservice in ABAP. This way you can read the XML from ABAP.

Call ABAP program from a process chain

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how do we call an ABAP program in R3 from a process chain in BW.
Its real urgent please help.
Thanks
Ankit

Hi,
Create ABAP program in BI/BW system with name like ZFILL_CALL.
Create RFC enabled function module(eg: ZRFCFM) in R/3 system, in this function module call your program which fills the ZTABLE from application server.
Call RFC function module ZRFCFM from your program ZFILL_CALL in BW system.(u need to RFC connections to these systems).
Create process of type "ABAP program" which u will find in General sevices in RSPC. Attach this process befor u r inpackage process chain.
Hope it will work.

Trigger a waiting ABAP program from a User Exit of CO01

Hi all,
   We would like to launch a ABAP program from a User Exit (EXIT_SAPLCOZV_001) of CO01, this ABAP program has a special characteristic: using Function Module RFC_PING_AND_WAIT, so this program will be existing until terminating event coming.
    Our purpose is terminate CO01 normally before finishing of ABAP program. We don't know if it's possible?
    Actually:
       1. when we use SUBMIT ..., the process will stop CO01 (stop not normally) and then launch ABAP program. => This is not suitable for our purpose.
       2. when we use SUBMIT ... and RETURN, CO01 will wait for finishing of ABAP program => This is not suitable for our purpose too, because we wish CO01 terminated normally when ABAP program is still existing and waiting for its terminating event.
Do you have a solution that is suitable for our purpose, could you please help us?
(The context is below:
Time: Begin-->CO finished> ABAP finished-->
   Launch CO01 --> Call User Exit --> Call ABAP program for waiting --> CO01 saved normally.
> ABAP program still waiting ---> waiting for terminating event
Thanks a lot,
Vinh Vo

Hi,
     Try with the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE, it takes eventid, and eventparm as import parameters in the User exit.
1) With Eventid, you create a background job of the ABAP program and schedule it. Eventparm can be the Production order number.
2) So when ever the Event is triggered the FM gets triggered and which in turn run the ABAP program, so the foreground the CO01 transaction runs without waiting for the ABAP program to complete.
