HI
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

BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.

BAPI with LSMW
http://esnips.com/doc/ef04c89f-f3a2-473c-beee-6db5bb3dbb0e/LSMW-with-BAPI
For document on using BAPI with LSMW, I suggest you to visit:
http://www.****************/Tutorials/LSMW/BAPIinLSMW/BL1.htm
What are the methods to migrate data from a legacy system to SAP?
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
Execute
select Batch Input recording
goto->Recording overview
create
recording name.
enter transaction code.
start recording
do recording as per ur choice.
save + back.
enter recording name in lsmw screen.
save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.
2. MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURES.
Here you have to enter the name of internal table.
display change
create
save + back
3. MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS.
display change
select structure
source_fields->copy fields.
a dialogue window will come .
select -> from data file
apply source fields
enter No. of fields
length of fields
attach file
save + back
4. MAINTAIN STRUCTURE RELATIONS
display change
save + back
5. MAINTAN FIELD MAPPING & CONVERSION RULE
display change
click on source field, select exact field from structue and enter
repeat these steps for all fields.
save+back
6. MAINTAIN FIXED VALUES, TRANSACTION, USER DEFINED
execute
save + back
7. SPECIFY FILES.
display change
click on legacy data
attah flat file
give description
select tabulatore
enter
save + back
8. ASSIGN FILE
execute
display change
save + back
9. IMPORT DATA.
execute
display change
save + back
10. DISPLAY IMPORTED DATA
enter ok, it willl show records only.
back
11. CONVERT DATA
execute
display change
save + back
12. DISPLAY CONVERTED DATA
execute
display change
save + back
13. CREATE BATCH INPUT SESSION
tick keep batch input folder
F8
back
14. RUN BATCH INPUT SESSION.
sm35 will come
Object name will be shown here

Data Transfer using LSMW IDOC processing with multiple segments

we need to post the document data (Header structure, BP item structure, G/L item structure..etc) using LSMW IDOC processing.
is it possible to transfer data for all these structures (Segments) in single file?

Thanks for the reply.
I am assuming when we are specifying the file in LSMW we are going to give the option to generate the file with include all structures.
could you please elaborate further is there any thing specific we need to do while configuring LSMW to get the file for all segments in the IDOC with field names which we are going to populate with data, so that we can use it for data transfer.
any help document will be helpful.

SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

Hi Bjorn Panter,
I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA". We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
Our MARM segments have generic and variants. The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits. We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
In routine MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
   LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
    ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
    IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
*     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
      CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'. This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN. I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ? Is there something in config that we should check ? Should we look at fields in our segments ?
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
please open an OSS customer message.
Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
My colleages will take care.
Regards
Björn

Data Transfer thru LSMW

Hi Experts...
I would like to view the data which I have transfered to SAP system using LSMW. The process run in background. But how to check the data.
If anyone can also help me to see table thru SAP or using SQL query in Oracle.
Thanks,
Praveen.
Note: If this is not the right forum then pls guide to the concerned.

Hi tutika,
Once the data is successfully transfered to Target SAP system using LSMW, You can chech the status report of batch you have given for upload.It shows how much recors have been successfuly tranfered. Also you can see log details if any eror is there.
When u want to see actual recored/ data which has been tranfered in Target System , U can directly run transactions , Report or through SE 16 to confirm the data transfered.

Unit Conversion Error in Direct Input method for data transfer

Hi Experts,
I am getting a error "E MG 427: Conversion error: field BMMH6-MEINH; content PAK" When I am uploading Alt. UoM using BMHH6 structure in Direct Input. I checked value for UoM in converted data it is "PAC". I think system is internally converting it to PAK so the error is coming.
Please let me know what need to be done to avoid this error.
Thanks in Advance..
-Harkamal

Hi
Before passing this unit to the program
check the conversion Exit in the Domain of the Field
and use the fun module
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT and pass that value and see how it takes
otherwise use the fun module UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE and pass the value to program

JPA - Best Practice For Data Transfer?

I've been considering an alternative method for data transfer between applications, by using Serialized or Encoded to File JPA Entities. (either Binary or XML)
I know this procedure may have several draw backs as compared to traditional exported SQL queries or data manipulation statements, however, I want to know if anyone has considered or used this process for data transfer?
The process would be to
- query the database and load the JPA Entities
- Serialize or Encode them to file
- zip up the entire folder with the JPA entities
- transfer the data to destination machine
- extract the data to a temp directory
- reload the JPA entities by de-serializing and persisting them to the database
The reason I'm considering this process, is basically because I have a desktop application (manages member records, names, dates, contributions, etc) used by different organisations in different locations (which are not related except by purpose ie clubs or churches) and would like to have a simple way of transporting all data associated with a single profile (information about a member of the organisation) from one location to another in a simple way, ie users interact only with the application without the need for any database management tool or such.
I'm also considering this because it is not easy to generate an SQL Script file without using a dedicated Database Management Tool, which I do not want the application users to have to learn how to use.
I would appreciate ANY suggestions and probable alternative solutions for this problem. FYI: I'm using a Java DB database.

In summary you are moving data from one database to another. True
You only discussed flow one way. Well the process is meant to be bi-directional. Basically what I envision would to have something like:
- the user goes to File -> Export Profile...
- then selects one or more profiles to export
- the export process completes and the zip archive is created and transfered (copied, mailed, etc) to the destination location
then on the destination pc
- the user goes to File -> Import Profile
- selects the profile package
- the app extracts, processes and imports the data (JPA serialized for example)
Flow both ways is significantly more complicated in general.Well if well done it shouldn't be
And what does this have to do with users creating anything?Well as shown above the user would be generating the Zip Archive (assuming that is the final format)
Does this make the problem clearer?

Data transfer method

Hai gurus,
I am new to Abap field.
Kindly confirm whether i had to use LSMW or BDC for the following data transfer.
Production and Planning:
1) Bill of material creation-
2) Recipe creation-
3) Resource creation-
Quality Control.
1) Quality plan
2) Quality sampling procedure.
3) Quality info record.
4) Master Inspection Characteristics.
5) List of material with inspection status
6) Inspection Method.
7) Sampling plan
waiting for the positive reply.

Hi Sekar,
If you have huge number of records & the process is onetime process, you can go for LSMW, no ABAP knowledge is required for this.
Hope this helps.

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

How to store data in hashmap so that it can be used by different methods.

Hello,
I have an ADF/JSF application and the database is DRM. The program gets data from DRM into this hashmap. Program needs this data frequently. Getting this HashMap is very resource intensive due to a lot of data it has.
I want to get the data in HashMap once ( I can do this - no problem). But where/how do I keep it so that different methods can just use this and not make individual trips to DRM? It may be a very basic java question but I seem to be stuck :)
I am not very concerned about the HashMap part, it can be any collection - the question is of storing it so that it can be used over and over.
Thanks,

User,
If I understand you correctly, you have a JSF application that needs to store data in a HashMap such that it can be accessed over and over? You could put the hashmap into an appropriately-scoped managed bean and access it from there. I'm not sure what a "DRM" is (a digital rights management database, perhaps, in which case it's a "database"), so there is something special about a "DRM" that we need to know, please share.

ABAP Dataflow using FTP data transfer method

Hi,
I am facing this error while executing the ABAP dataflow, the datastore configuration has FTP as data transfer method.
I wanted to know if the ABAP program is generated succesfully and the error is while executing the ABAP program or there is an issue with the generation of ABAP program itself... Please help me understand the issue.
Since I am unable to attach the doc, please see the error message below.

Hi,
I am really not clear with your question. This is the first time i am executing the ABAP interface with FTP data transfer method. The madap8004 is the FTP server name. and the path is where the file whould be generated I belive. Is it the problem with any read/write permissions on the server?

LSMW - Periodic Data Transfer - wildcards in filename

Hello,
I have the following problem: The file, which has to be periodically read in is specifed for identification date + time e.g. DATAFILE_200820071250.txt
In the step 'Specifiy Files ' I entered:
serverDATAFILE_*.txt.
In the step ' Frame Program for Periodic Data Transfer' I entered in 'Value for Wildcard (*)' the following interval: 0000000000000000 - 99999999999999999.
During execution now (as a job with variant or directly) I receive always the same error message (/SAPDMC/LSMW524): "Specified values for wildcard (*) have not been defined" .
How I have to define the filename with wildcard (*) of a file which is peridically read in by LSMW?????
Thanks for your help!
Atentamente le saluda / Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Yours sincerely
Nicole Miosga

Hi Nicole,
As of my knowledge the way u have assigned the file name is incorrect,
just check it once, and in SPECIFY FILES there is values for wildcard ,
i want to know what u did here.
Thanks

Creat Job for LSMW (periodical data transfer)- idoc BLAORD

Hi,
We are trying to create job for LSMW (thru frame program for periodic data transfer) for idoc BLAORD (Purchasing contract)
When I am running the job that I created, the job is cancelled and the error is:
"Upload from front-end is not possible in batch mode.
Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_070 020"
How can I correct that? so I will be able to run a job (the job mast run background?)
Thanks,
Tal Sasson

Hello,
I was also receiving the same message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_070 020 even though I specified in /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE the server path. The problem was that in LSMW->Specify Files you have to delete the definition of front-end files and define application server files.
That Flag File (Path and Name) (field /SAPDMC/LSOINP-FILENAME in program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE) is kind of useless since it is ignored anyway and files defined in LSMW object are imported and they have to be read anyway if you use more than one file.

Two Data transfer methods

Hi Gurus
Can any body tell if i will be asked like What are two data transfer methods? Which is the preferred method and why?
thanks in advance
murali

Hi,
The two data transfer methods are PSA and IDoc. In PSA, the number of fields is limited to a maximum of 255 when using TRFCs to transfer data. The length of the data record is limited to 1962 bytes when you use TRFCs.
