Hi
I understand that the advantage is related wiht the use in enhancement, BADI and so on. For instance, in SD you have a lot of requirements that you can resolve easily with VOFM subroutines, userexits, enhancements and so on, and this knowledge is a plus for a quickly and proper analysis. The disadvantage: if you are able to do userexits, maybe, when you can do it with customizing tools, sometimes you do it with enhancements, because it's easier for you.
Moreover, if you know ABAP to set a break-point and read a debugging session to search a customizing failure, or for instance, to find a bottleneck after an ST05 analysis. I understand that learn ABAP is advisable for a functional. Of course, it depends of your availability of resources (time) and your priorities.
I hope this helps you

Advantages of 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' Function Module In ABAP-HR

HI Experts,
What are the Advantages of 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' Function Module In ABAP-HR rather than BDC Both methods?
Thanks in Advance.
Naveen

Hi
The function module 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' can be used to update,insert,modify,delete and change in the same function module.
Codings are also very simple there by calling this FM in case of conversion program.
Performance is also good when compared to session method.
Speedy performance in conversion programming.
The sample codings is given.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
     EXPORTING
          INFTY          = '0009'
          NUMBER         = EMPLOYEENUMBER
          SUBTYPE        = SUBTYPE
          OBJECTID       = OBJECTID
          LOCKINDICATOR = LOCKINDICATOR
          VALIDITYEND    = VALIDITYEND
          VALIDITYBEGIN = VALIDITYBEGIN
          RECORDNUMBER   = RECORDNUMBER
          RECORD         = P0009
          <b>OPERATION      = CHANGE </b>
          NOCOMMIT       = NOCOMMIT
There by changing the operation field into "INSS","MOD","DEL" alone we can do conversion program easily.
Then if no commit ='X' then it does't get updated in database so that it will be easy for us to check whther the fields get updated properly in database.
If no commit = ' ' then the possible fields get updated in database.
Thanks,
Sakthi.

Test web service for a function module

Hello,
I have created web service for a functiona module. I can see the same service in SE80 in Enterprise Services.
How do I test this service?
I can see the URL in WSDL tab but when I try to execute it give me following error,
What has happened?
URL http://emhbssap15.domain.local:8027/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/sdef_service_name/wsdl11/ws_policy/document call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Note
The termination occurred in system BDV with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
What can I do?
Please select a valid URL.

Thanks Venu for your input.
Unfortunetly we do not have Java stack on our development system. You said we can test it by SOAP UI tool. Where do I see the WSDL file for the service?
I used WSDL from SE80 --> Service --> WSDL tab, but SOAP UI does not accept this format ?
What are the other ways I can test this web service? I think about SAP PI, importing RFC & creating web service or creating ABAP proxies... Which is the best way to go forward in case you do not have Java stck.

How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE * and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

Search for a function module for deleting document originals (DMS)

Hi,
I'm searching for a function module to delete originals in documents (like manually with transaction cv02n). I'm only able to set an delete mark with the module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE'.
The module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2' can only add new originals to an existing document. I need a possibility to delete all originals in an document without deleting the document itself.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks.

Many thanks!
That's especially the method I've searched for so long....

Need help for the Function Module 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO'

Hi Experts,
The FM 'PFL_GET_PARAMETER_INFO' returns the value for Profile Parameters for a system .
The inputs required for this FM are :
1. Parameter name : ( eg . login/min_password_lng etc. )
2 . Parameter Type
I am not sure about what the value of Parameter Type should be .
Its a mandatory field.
I have tried to search but could not find anything.
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks in Advance,
Harshit Rungta
Edited by: harshit rungta on May 27, 2011 8:15 AM

What exactly is the use-case for this?
Many developers "c-call" the params and neglect this feature of the type - also whether it is static or dynamic. Some params are even dynamic as system profiles in one direction but static as instance parameters in the other direction when changing the value.
As you cannot create your own system profile parameters, I do not see the use-case for why you are wanting to check it in advance, because the application APIs should do this.
What you are possibly looking for is function module SUSR_GENERATE_PASSWORD in this case. It will respect "the rules" in the params.
Do not use the legacy function RSEC_GENERATE_PASSWORD directly.

Julius

Creating a Structure for BAPI Function Module

Hi,
I need to create an RFC for a BAPI call. For that I have to create a structure for the function module. Now, do I need to specify both import and export parameters in the same structure or do I need to create two different structures for Import as well as export parameters? If the import and export parameters are specified aleady, Do I need to supply this structures again under "TABLES"?
Thanks,
John.

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module ?

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module to be created?
This is FM for converting amounts to text.

Hi,
If you are not sure into which Function group your FM should go in then its advised to create a Function group of your own. Its not advised to create a function module in any other function group unless its owned by you since your FM can get deleted by others or it can get changed.
Create your own Function group. But if you want to create in an existing FG then best way is to find out the Function Group by searching for suitable existing Function module then see their function group

How to schedule a background jobs for a function module

HI all,
I have created a function module (zrfc_test). Now I need to schedule it daily around 8am . the 2 tcodes used is sm36 & sm37. But I need a detail description for a function module.
Points will be rewarded
thanks in advance

As there is no direct way of scheduling a function module, you may write a online program (program type 1) and call this function module in side it and schedule the program using SM36. Or you may record a CATT procedure for the function module and schedule it using SCAT transaction.Hope this helps

How to insert a code for a function module into a Customer Exit Variable?

I have two Key Figures viz., Net Prchs Rtl, and Net Prchs Unt. Both these Key figures have This Week (TW) and Last Week (LW). There is a variable for This week but there is no variable defined for Last week.
I need to get data in the column LW (Last Week) for both the key figures.
In function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 one of the functions I have is:
Get the previous Fiscal Week
          CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
I need to create a new variable to get values in the Last week column for different key figures and use function 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT' in that variable.
Can anyone please explain me the steps as to how to use a function module in a variable so that when the variable is used in a key figure it shows the output.
In other words what I want to know is after creating a Customer exit variable of type Characteristic value how do I refer the above mentioned function moduel and insert the code for the function module into the Customer exit variable that I created.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi Wond,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand what you mean but I have never done this before so can you please explain it in a detailed manner. I have the following code:
Get the previous Fiscal Week
          CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT'
            EXPORTING
              i_date         = ld_date
              i_periv        = lc_periv
            IMPORTING
              e_buper        = ln_poper
              e_gjahr        = ln_bdatj
            EXCEPTIONS
              input_false    = 1
              t009_notfound = 2
              t009b_notfound = 3
              OTHERS         = 4.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
          ELSE.
            lc_poper = ln_poper.
            CONCATENATE ln_bdatj lc_poper+1(2) INTO wa_e_t_range-low.
            wa_e_t_range-sign = 'I'.
            wa_e_t_range-opt = 'EQ'.
            APPEND wa_e_t_range TO e_t_range.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
I believe I should now use the above code in my customer exit variable. If that's right can you please explain me the steps as to how should I do this so that the variable gets populated.
Thank you.

TR.
