Call BEx from function modules.

Hi,
I'm trying to run BEx (Excel) from an abap Exit. Using the debugger I have observed that it is necessary to call the rsah_launch_excel function module passing some parameter (i.e. workbook id) but don't know if it is necessary to copy and modify the called program ( RRMX_START_EXCEL).
Any suggestion about the coding will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Giovanni

Use SUBMIT Program statement ... i.e,

Calling a report from function module

Hi Friends,
I have requirement for Function Module i.e. we will add the button to the standard T-code and ( Function added in config ) then
Function to be called from Customizing
Program A called from customizing function
CalculationPDFFunction is called from program A.
So can any one help me the logic for "calling a report from function module ".
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Jaya,
Yes. It is possible to call ur custom program using SUBMIT statement.
1. If u have data to pass then build table type RSPARAMS and use below statement.
data:
      rspar_tab TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
      rspar_line LIKE LINE OF rspar_tab,
SUBMIT report1 WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
               AND RETURN.
1. If u want to create variant to the program and use that. use the below statement .
SUBMIT report1 USING SELECTION-SET 'VAR1' "variant
               AND RETURN.

Problem while calling an RFC Function Module in Background

Hello,
I have created a RFC function module for reading data from an external DB system. The FM calls an external RFC program (coded in C++ using RFC SDK), which delivers the required data. This external program is maintainged as an TCP RFC Connection in SM59.
Further I have created a report, that calls the RFC function module to get the data from the external RFC programm.
My problem is, when I call the report in foreground, everything works OK, the RFC connection works and data can be read from the external program.
However, when I schedule the report to run in background as a job, the report is stating in the protocoll that there was a problem calling the defined RFC connection (although the connection is working properly at that time).
More funny is, this particular problem with running in background occurs only in the productive system, in test and development system the report works correctly also while running as a job in background.
Can you suggest the solution to this problem? Could it be something with authorisations or server settings?
I will be on holiday for the next 6 weeks, so take your time to answer .
Regards,
Dusan.

Please read the forum rules about u r g e n t ...

This is an external RFC server program, not a remote enabled ABAP RFC function module as the others seem to be assuming, right?
Is it possible that your DEV and QAS systems only have one application server, but the PROD has many and dedicated one(s) for processing low priority background jobs?
It might be that the target server of your TCP connection is not this BTC instance, and your RFC server is returning the data "locally" - so, into nirvana...
Just guessing, but might be worth checking.

Julius

Calling a RFC Function Module

Hello Guys,
I have a question regarding calling a RFC function module.
In BW - BI 7.0 I call a RFC function module:
(The ABAP program in BW-BI 7.0 is below)
CALL FUNCTION ''ZTESTFUNCTIONMODULE' " Function module in ECC
     DESTINATION 'DECCLNT110' " ECC system
    TABLES
      it_gl_item   = it_gl
      it_errlog_gl = it_errlog_gl.
The 'ZTESTFUNCTIONMODULE'   is RFC enabled in the ECC system.
The purpose is we retarct the data from BW to ECC.
When I run the function module it always asks for the user id and password.
The SAP logon screen appears and it asks for the user id and password.
The destination is maintained in the SM59 transaction and also the user is maintained there. I think it should login automatically into remote system and return the tables. is it correct. How to skip the logon screen.
Do I have to pass the user id and password in the function module. I think it should take the user id from the SM59 destination. Is it correct.
Please advise. As always thanks for your help guys.

Hi Senthil,
I think you answered your query in your question itself
The user ID and password need to be maintained in RFC destination in SM59.
Go to SM59 and then click on test connection..if it does not ask for ID and passwoed that means correct ID and password is maintained in SM59 otherwise maintain it.

Atish

Error in calling the Remote Function Module

Debuggin a Call to Remote Function Module

Hi
I have a scenario where i have a Remote Function Module in r3 which is being called synchronously by an external java application. The FM has a lot of input and output parameters and many tables. The output returned by the FM is not as expected.
Can anyone tell me how debug a Remote Function Module when a call has been made from an external application.
I am not able to get the test data sent by the external application . So when the external application gives a call to this Remote FM and if it is possibele to debug it would be great.
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
1) Login to SAP with the same ID with which you will calling the RFC function module from the outside system.
2) Goto transaction - se37/se38
3) Goto Utilities => Settings.
4) Select the ABAP Editor Tab.
5) Click on the Debugging tab.
6) Tick the Actv. button and give the user name with which you will be debugging the code. In this case the logged in user id.
7) Press Enter.
8) Now put an external break point inside the Function Module.
9) Load your external application (from where you want to debug the FM) once again.
The execution will stop in the FM.
Hope it helps..
Lokesh

Calling an ABAP function module

Hi friends,
I am developing an application in EP6 SP2 using JSPDynPage from which, want to call an ABAP function module that returns table and show the values from this table in this application.
I went thru various blogs and APIs. I am confused between SAP JCO, JCO client service and connector framework. Do u have any documentation on how to connect to R3 systems and call a function module, retrieve results etc.
Regards,
Nilz

JCo is the point to start. This gives you low level access to all rfc functions. Everything else (accept BSP and Web dynpro) are just layers of encapsulation around the low level JCo function.
The steps are always like this:
call the sap system for rfc login
prepare data areas and call in java
call the rfc in the R/3 system
handle exceptions
logoff and free ressource
continue with data obtained in R/3
There is a lot of material around jco. One book that is fairly ok is :
SAP Interface Programming
A comprehensive reference for RFC, BAPI, and JCo programming

Multiple calls of same function module do NOT initialize variables ?

Hi all,
..so its my fist post here, this is a bit strange problem for me and maybe someone knows whats happening.
So I have in SAP Solution Manager a function module 'Z', which calls a standard SAP class CL_SPROJECT_SOLAR_BASE_REPORT, which in turn calls the standard function module 'SPROJECT_GET_ADMIMP_SCREEN_BP'.
During development, things worked fine, but now I run my Z-Program for more than one instance and even I do all FREE for the Class, apperently the function module SPROJECT_GET_ADMIMP_SCREEN_BP, which is called by the class CL_SPROJECT_SOLAR_BASE_REPORT, does not get it's variables from the global data of the function pool re-initialized, when it is called for the second, 3rd, ... time.
This is a bit strane behavior for me, I would have expected that variables in a function module (or even in the global data of that function pool) get re-initialized each time that function module is called ?
Actually, this is the only function in that function pool.
Well, if not, does anyone has an idea how I can get the variables of this module pool re-initialized between the calls ? More concrete, the global data of function pool SAPLSPROJECT_SOLAR_ADMEVAL_BP define:
DATA: g_v_with_var TYPE char1.
In the function module line 36 (no reference to g_v_with_var, no module call, no changes to g_v_with_var before the IF-statement at all) it is querying:
IF g_v_with_var IS INITIAL.
So this is my problem, the second time I am calling the class (which is 'free'ed and re-created between the calls) which calls this function module the 'g_v_with_var' is not initial and there seems to be no way to have it set to initial again ?
So even thought this is in SolMan, I think the question & problem is a ABAP technical one ?
Any thoughts, help or support would be very much appreciated,
thank so much,
Frank

Hi Mae,
..thanks a lot for your fast reply, unfortunately there is only one function and no functions or forms at all for initializing. The variable I am fighting with is g_v_with_var and that is referenced only 4 times in the whole function pool:
Global Data:   101 DATA: g_v_with_var TYPE char1.
Function Module SPROJECT_GET_ADMIMP_SCREEN_BP (which is the only function module):
    36   IF g_v_with_var IS INITIAL.
   127       g_v_with_var = airep_true.
   193         CLEAR g_v_with_var.
If in line 36 g_v_with_var is 'X', which it is always after the first call, the function will exit with an exception, so line 193 to clear it will actually never be executed...and it is not cleared the next time the function module is called, so you never get back to have the function run...
All the best,
Frank

How to detect caller of a function module

Hello,
how is it possible to detect who is calling a function module?
Thanks a lot,
Tanguy Mezzano

Hi, May i know why you need the caller name. If suppose you want to know currently who is executing the function. then you can check the sy-uname inside the calling program or function module that will have. If you want to know from another program then you need to pass some parameter id in side the function module and check your second program for the parameter id having any value.
Thanks.

Provide Asynchornous Webservice from Function Module

Hi!
I need to create a webservice to provide master data. My scenario do not use Process Integration, so I create the webservice from function module (Remote-Enable Module) through SE80.
When service is created I can see in the configuration tag that is not possible to change to asynchronous mode.
I want to create asynchronous webservice because I need to return master data. Selecting this data consume a lot of time, so in order to avoid timeouts I think is better to create asynchronous webservice.
May be I am wrong but I think is not possible to create async webservice without PI.
All documents I have read until now show async comunication through PI and using proxy clients but I have not found the case I am talking.
Thanks
Reagards
Edited by: jordis on Mar 17, 2011 4:45 PM

Thanks Raja,
I think I'm confusing about synchronous / asynchronous concept in webservices. I need an example or an explanation where I can understand it. Taking account that I do not have PI, where scenario I'm moving in?
I mean, is it possible that an external client calls my webservice created through FM in async mode? Maybe is the client who has to create the corresponding call to the webservice in async mode and I have to do anything.
Another question related, what does it means the propierty sync/async in a proxy?
I do not understand your sugestion since I think that proxy creaton is relevant in case of the connecting SAP with an external system (I tried it and I have to inform an URL o WSDL).
All documents I have readed have been in the context of PI and I think my case is more simply.
Any more suggestions, links or ideas?
Thanks

How to create webservice from function module

Hello,
I'm trying to create webservice from function module from. I choose Utilities/More Utilities/Create Webservice/..From function Module. What data should I enter in section "Enter Package/Request" ?
When I check "Local object" checkbox I get a message "Test objects cannot be created in foreign namespaces"
Is there any doc about this procedure (web service creation) with description of all sections ?
thanks for any reply,
Lukasz Ferenc

Hi,
Which SAP product of wich release of which SP are you using ?
The procedure is documented in help.sap.com and in blogs and SDN forum messages.
It means that the use of the SEARCH button should give plenty of answers...
>When I check "Local object" checkbox I get a message "Test objects cannot be created in foreign >namespaces"
As usual, begin your choosen name with an "Z".

How to create a generic datasource from function module?

Dear experts,
I have created a generic datasource from function module. For this extrator, I created a function module and a structure.
I have now some difficulties to continue:
In this function module, i get data from different transparent tables. Then i put these data into an internal table.
I just don't know what is the relatioin between the structure i defined and this internal table.
I should make "iTab structure AA" in the source code?
Thanks

1. Create s structure with the fields that you need from the 4 tables . Activate.
2. Goto SE 80 Select The Function Group , Copy , Select the Function module
" RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE " and Give a New name starting With
Y or Z .
3. SE37 ->Your Function module name -> Change , In table tab give your structure
name by deleting the associated type given in " XXXX " .
4. Now select source code and Do the coding . Give Data source name in Coding .
In your case you have to take data from more that 1 table .
5. Activate the Function Group .
6. In RSO2 Create the Data source , Give the Function Module Name , And Save.
7. RSA3 -> Give data source name and Check for the Records .
Creation of custom datasource. (Using function module)
.Create a function group .
. Structure ZTXXXX
Create function module (i.e. ZTESTXXX) .
. Create the data source using transaction (RSO2).
. If structure exists for the table parameter of your function module then ok else create a structure for the table parameter .
Test the datasource in R/3 using transaction RSA3.
Transfer the data source to BW System and replicate it in the BW-System.

Formal error: Invalid calling sequence for function modules

Hi All,
I have developed a function module for FQEVENT 620 Payment: Transfer Line Items for Clearing.
The clearing works fine.
After clearing the open items i need to post an FI-CA Document(BAPI : BAPI_CTRACDOCUMENT_CREATE) for each open item(cleared item)
I have used the bapi : BAPI_CTRACDOCUMENT_CREATE in the same function module that i have developed for FQEVENT 620 Payment: Transfer Line Items for Clearing.Here i am getting an error "Formal error: Invalid calling sequence for function modules".
So please let me know where i can use this bapi to post fi-ca document.Is there a BAdi or Enhancement Spot where i can use this BAPI or tell me what should i do to overcome this error.
Regards
Venkat

Venkat:
While I am confused about your business process - creating an open item when clearing one seems strange. Look into event 0020 which is called after documents are posted - it may present the opportunity to post process additional documents.
regards,
bill.
