Can Anybody explain me the difference between a Bapi and a webservice?

Can Anybody explain me the difference between a Bapi and a webservice?

Hi Anil,
<b>BAPI</b>
BAPI is a library of functions that are released to the public
as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
system.A BAPI function is a function module that
can be called remotely using the RFC technology
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 you 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. It is not possible to connect SAP to Non-SAP systems to retrieve data using RFC alone. RFC can acces the SAP from outside only through BAPI and same is for vice versa access.
<b>Webservice</b>
In simpler terms, WebService is an application on the Web/Internet. Wheneever Service is requested by the user, it provides the service (i.e Request/Response)
A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems
In SAP world, we can expose an application into the Webservice. For e.g We can expose ABAP programs into Webservice.
XI uses SOAP adapter to communicate with webservices see below...why only soap adpater???
-> Some remote clients or Web services providers are only able to communicate by means of SOAP messages
->SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP message between remote clients and Web Service Servers and the Integration Server.
-> The SOAP Adapter provides a runtime environment that includes various SOAP components for the processing of SOAP message.
-> You use the SOAP adapter to connect such systems to the Integration Server directly
-> The SOAP adapter uses a helper class to instantiate and control these SOAP components
->The SOAP adapter receives a msg from the remote client or Web service provider, converts the SOAP protocol into XI msg protocol and then sends the msg to the Integration Server to be processed further.
Basically RFCs BAPI are all SAP oriented, Webservices are language / environement independent. So, all one has to do is publish a Webservice and any external system by providing the data in the correct format, can get the approopriate response back.

Can anybody tell me the link to download 10.1.0.5 patchset

I want to patch my DB with 10.1.0.5, So
Can anybody tell me the link to download 10.1.0.5 patchset ??
thanking you

[jdbc version 10.1.0.5(patchset) and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptio]
Hello
We finnaly got the patchset, extracted the jdbc drivers version 10.1.0.5 and found out that the ArrayIndexOfBoundException problem is still present!
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DateTimeCommonAccessor.computeJulianDay(DateTimeCommonAccessor.java:354)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DateTimeCommonAccessor.getMillis(DateTimeCommonAccessor.java:399)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DateAccessor.getTimestamp(DateAccessor.java:143)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl.getTimestamp(OracleResultSetImpl.java:724)
     at cybiz.db.GeneralDB.pesquisaPaginadaSimples(GeneralDB.java:854)
driver files: ojdbc14dms.jar, ojdbc14.jar and orai18n.jar
driver version (all tested): 10.0.1.4, 10.0.1.5 (patchset version), 10.2.0.1
database version: Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.
The problem occurs at the the ResultSet.getTimestamp() method. Apparently, it happens after 10 rows. This exception is thrown for all database tables that contains date columns.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this? What is most troublesome is that this error doesn't occur with the jdbc drivers target at jdk1.2 (classes12.jar). Another thing is that tthis is not a SQLException. It is a runtime exception that occurs inside the jdbc driver.
Right now we are stuck...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Luis Fernando

Can Anybody explain me the difference between a A2X and a A2A Service?

Can Anybody explain me the difference between a A2X and a A2A Service

I dont think A2X refers to b2b Scenario as there is a big difference between B2B and A2A, this is quite a debatable arena. In the present case A2X can be where the application under consideration is communicating with an unknown third party application of which the only details we have are the field data to be sent/recieved etc. Its used more to describe a third party app, so its to be considered as an x-App. can be any j2ee app or .net app, the X here is used as a variable to denote the unknown till it becomes known..in which case the documents start referring to it as A2A.....
Hope that helps

Can anyone tell me the difference between these String methods?

There are methods that can convert a byte[] into string:
String(byte[] ascii, int hibyte, int offset, int count)
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)
String(byte[] bytes)
I am now sticking on it. The first one runs great in my project, but it is deprecated. The remaining two return wrong answer I need. Can anyone expain what the difference between them? Really appreciate the help, thanks in advance.

It seems like the first one translates each byte into one character. The other two use the default character encoding to translate possibly more than one byte into each character. Look up Unicode character encodings to understand the difference.

Can anybody give me the difference between Catt and Ecatt

Hi gurus,
Can any body give me the difference between catt and ecatt.

Hi,
I think this is new technology in sap.
I know little bit of this can u go through this.
eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
What is eCATT?
eCATT is an SAP Testing Tool used to automate & test business scenarios in R/3. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results. If the testing is smooth without any errors, this means that the business scenarios mapped in R/3 are correct. If the test results in error then the problem can be analyzed using the error log that is generated.
eCATT enables automatic testing in SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java.
Features of eCATT:
Following functions can be performed using eCATT:
Test transactions, reports and scenarios.
Call BAPIs and function modules.
Test remote systems.
Check authorizations (user profiles).
Test updates (database, applications, GUI).
Set up customizing tables.
Test the effect of changes to customizing settings.
Perform load testing.
Check system messages.
Integrated with Test Workbench, so allows proper management of scripts using SCAT transaction.
Supports CATT migration to eCATT.
All eCATT Objects are Repository Objects. Therefore one can take advantage of Standard SAP Transport Tools.
eCATT Objects can easily download & upload in XML with XSD format.
There can be several versions of Test Scripts, which allows different implementations with different releases.
The separation of Test Scripts, Test Data & System Data allows for a considerable degree of reuse.
Why eCATT?
CATT is no longer supported by SAP for the creation of new developments. Hence all the test scripts developed in CATT are now need to migrate/Update to eCATT. Comparative to manual testing, the following are advantages of using eCATT:
Due to automation, testing time is reduced to a large extent.
Due to automation, less manpower is required for testing. This helps financially.
Due to automation, manual errors are reduced to large extent. Hence results in error free testing. This helps, as no further problems will occur while the usage of R/3 system by end users and hence increases the efficiency.
Proved to be extremely useful in implementation projects.
In regression testing, automated test scripts are an ideal method of quickly detecting errors. Automatic test logs make it easy to reproduce test results, enabling fast analysis and planning of further activities, leading to cost savings for the customer.
Differences between CATT and eCATT?
Till date, CATT could only be used with the R/3 system. eCATT (which is available with SAP Web Application Server 6.20) covers the automatic testing in SAPGUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java. For other GUIs and Applications, eCATT provides an interface for external tools. This allows companies to perform automated tests from an SAP system in a complete IT solution landscape across system boundaries. These new options enable complete automation of solution landscapes under standard Windows and Web-based user interfaces- resulting in low-cost operation of an IT Solution.
eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
eCATT requisites
Web Application Server (WAS) 6.20 or more.
SAPGUI 6.20 or more.
R/3 4.6C or more. (Target system must have sufficient support package level (Details available in SAP Note 519858) or SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.7).
Before creating Test Scripts using eCATT, some system settings need to be done:
Maintain table T000.
1.      Go to transaction SM31
2.      Enter T000 and chose MAINTAIN.
3.      In the Change View Clients: Overview screen, select the relevant client and choose Details
4.      In the CATT and eCATT Restrictions field, select CATT and eCATT allowed.
5.      Click on SAVE.
Enabling scripting at the Front-end
1.      On any SAP GUI screen, choose Customizing of Local Layout.
2.      Choose Options
3.      Choose Scripting Tab
4.      Select Enable Scripting
5.      Click Apply and then OK.
Enabling Scripting on the Application Server
1.      Go to transaction RZ11.
2.      On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, enter sapgui/user_scripting.
3.       Choose Display.
4.      If the Current Value is not set to TRUE, then click on Change Value:
5.      Enter TRUE in the New Value.
6.      Click on SAVE.

Can anybody give me the solutions for these

In the definition of Item Catogory vov7, thers is a field " Relevent for Delivery", The same field is there in the definition of Scheduleline catagory vov6.
1. Y the same field is there in both definitions?
2. If I didnt check the field in item catagory definition, then item cannot be deliver?
3.Y should we check in itemcatagory and scheduline catagory definition the field " relevent for delivery"
If i check in Item catagory , if i didnt check in scheduline catagory any problem occurs at the time of delivery
Plz reply me for these questions
Thanks in Advance
Venkat Ramana

Dear Venkata Ramana
- In VOV7, if you select the field "Relevant for Delivery", then you are defining that the item category is relevant for creating delivery and posting goods issue.
- Similarly, in VOV6, by selecting the field Relevant for Delivery, you are defining that the schedule line is relevant for delivery
As you would be aware, you can create invoice referencing order and delivery as well. So in order to differentiate the item category and schedule line category from this, you have to maintain different item categories and schedule line categories.

How to get the 'link' between two tables

hi pple
i need to find out HOW two tables are related.
sample tables:
SHIPS ( HULL_ID [PK] , VESSEL_NAME, GROSS_TONNAGE )
EQUIPMENT ( E_ID [PK] , HULL_ID [FK frm SHIPS], DESC )
PARTS ( PART_ID [PK] , E_ID [PK, FK frm EQUIPMENT], MANUFACTURER_ID)
--> SHIPS and PARTS are some how related thro' EQUIPMENT.
i need to get this relationship:
Ships --> Equipment (E_ID) --> PARTS
currently, i can get the direct parent and child tables of a given table using:
SELECT lpad ( ' ', 2 * ( LEVEL - 1 ) ) || table_name as Child_Tables
FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS
START WITH R_CONSTRAINT_NAME in
select constraint_name
from all_constraints
where table_name = '%table_name%'
and constraint_type = 'P'
CONNECT BY PRIOR CONSTRAINT_NAME = R_CONSTRAINT_NAME ;
To get ALL parents:
SELECT lpad ( ' ', 2 * ( LEVEL - 1 ) ) || table_name as Parent_Tables
FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS
where owner = 'CHARTUSER'
START WITH CONSTRAINT_NAME in
select constraint_name
from all_constraints
where table_name = '%table_name%'
and constraint_type = 'R'
CONNECT BY PRIOR R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = CONSTRAINT_NAME ;
what i need to do is:
1) get children & parents of SHIPS
2) for each element of (1), get children, parents till i get PARTS
3) so, i will get EQUIPMENT and then, PARTS.
this wud be very expensive. my appln is in Java and i will need to call these functions - that makes it more complex. is there any simpler way out?
and my main problem is to find out WHAT attributes line two tables. this wudnt be a big deal if it were just simple parent-child tables. but, how do i find out the attributes that link PARTS and SHIPS table?
any ideas? -please help.
thanks in advance

Dear Srikanth,
This tables can be used once we come to know whether its a customer or vendor line item but in our case we using the GL account as reference have to knock off the entries.How we come to know that aginst the GL whether its a customer or vendor line item.. Then it should route to this table.
Suggest me if any options are there.

What is the Difference Between these IF statements

Hello
Can someone tell me the difference between these two IF statements.
-- IF STATEMENT 1--
IF v_transcode not in ('A','C','D') THEN
raise_application_error (-20000, 'Error Invalid Transcation Code');
END IF;
-- IF STATEMENT 2 --
IF v_transcode <> 'A' AND v_transcode <> 'C' AND v_transcode <> 'D' THEN
raise_application_error (-20000, 'Error Invalid Transcation Code');
END IF;
Thanks

Your if condition wherein you do
v_transcode <> 'A' and v_transcode <> 'C' and v_transcode <> 'D'.
I would think this is more better in terms of performance, because if the first clause (v_transcode <> 'A') fails nothing else needs to be evaluated, and it can skip the if condition there itself,
but in case of
v_transcode not in ('A', 'C','D'),
it has to scan through the entire list.
On the other side, if you have just 2 or 3 values to compare this makes sense, otherwise we may have to use the in operator.

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.
cheers
