Employee bapi and PA0000

Hi all experts,
I am working on human resource bapi: I created web services about handling personal data of employee; now I am testing this functions:
EmployeePersonalDataChange (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataChange parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataCreate (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataCreate parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataCreatesuccessor (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataCreatesuccessor parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataDelete (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataDelete parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataDelimit (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataDelimit parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataGetdetail (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataGetdetail parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataGetdetailedlist (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataGetdetailedlist parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataGetlist (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataGetlist parameters)
EmployeePersonalDataSimulatecreation (test.types.p1.EmployeePersonalDataSimulatecreation parameters)
for example EmployeePersonalDataGetdetail. The input fields are:
Employeenumber (String)
Lockindicator (String)
Objectid (String)
Recordnumber (String)
Subtype (String)
Validitybegin (String)
Validityend (String)
But for each value I set, I get an empty response. Even if PA00000 is not empty ... and now I have a doubt:
does this bapi refers to PA0000?
thanks in advance
Gabriele

What is the diffrence between BAPI and RFC and business object

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tel me what is the diffrence between RFC and BAPI , and also what is ther relation with business object?
Thanx in advance.
Nilesh Hiwale

Hi,
BAPI's are associated with Business Objects and also they are RFC enabled.
But RFC's are the FM's which can be called from external systems, those FM's can be used in many places based on the applications..

Difference between BAPI and RFC?

Difference between BAPI and RFC?
also where to use BAPI and where to use RFC?

Hi,
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.

Diff b/w BAPI and Function Module.

What is the difference between BAPI and Function Module....
By Interface programming do we mean posting data thru BAPI,BDC....

Hi Alex,
BAPI: Standard Interface in the R/3 system that allows the system to communicate with components of other business suites.
FM: These are the procedures that are defined in the Function Groups and can be called from any ABAP Program. FM allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions int he R/3 system.
The main basic difference between BAPI and FM are
1) All BAPIs are FM but not all FMs are BAPIs
2) BAPIs are remote enabled
3) BAPIs interface will not have a changing and exceptions. They can not be used to have use dialog.
Interface programs can post data to SAP either through a BDC, BAPI, IDOC etc. It depends on the type of requirement.
Hope this solves your question.
Enjoy SAP

Usage of update-bapi and getdetail-bapi within one view

Hello,
i'm a student and i'm new to webdynpro and abap. Im trying to get data through a bapi into some screens and want to update some of these inputfields back through an update-bapi.
I get all the needed data by a getdetails-bapi and can show the data within binded inputfields, but how could i get the infos about which field was changed and how could i implement an update through the update-bapi?
It is possible, that a view with two inputfileds gets the data through the getdetails-bapi and after a change in this fields there will be an update through a update-bapi, after pushing a button?
Could you give me an example code, or could you explane me a way for implementing these?
Thanks for your help!
John

Hi John,
changes made at Contexts are stored in a table WDR_CONTEXT_CHANGE_LIST. So you can retrieve the old and new values from the table.
Please follow the below steps :
1. Create a context node (Ex:Changes) with dict.str wdr_context_change.
2. Then create one subnode under Changes ex(details) with two attributes old_value and new_value with the type of string.
3. Then write the below code at any button action.
DATA: l_ref_componentcontroller TYPE REF TO ig_componentcontroller .
 DATA: l_changes TYPE wdr_context_change_list,
 l_subnode type ref to if_wd_context_node,
 l_subnodedata type if_USERLOG=>element_details.
 field-symbols: <change> type wdr_context_change,
 <new> type data,
 <old> type data.
 l_ref_componentcontroller = wd_this->get_componentcontroller_ctr( ).
 l_changes = l_ref_componentcontroller->get_changes( ).
 data: l_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
 l_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'CHANGES' ).
 l_node->bind_table( l_changes ).
 loop at l_changes assigning <change>.
 if <change>-old_value is not initial and <change>-new_value is not initial.
 l_subnode = l_node->get_child_node( index = sy-tabix name = 'DETAILS' ).
 assign <change>-new_value->* to <new>.
 assign <change>-old_value->* to <old>.
* l_subnodedata-new_value_string = cl_wdr_conversion_utils=>to_string( value = <new> ).
* l_subnodedata-old_value_string = cl_wdr_conversion_utils=>to_string( value = <old> ).
 l_subnodedata-new_value_string = <new>.
 l_subnodedata-old_value_string = <old>.
* l_subnodedata-new_value_string = 'AC'.
* l_subnodedata-old_value_string = 'CD'.
 l_subnode->bind_structure( l_subnodedata ).
 endif.
 endloop.
So now your context has the changed records.
Thanks.

Problem in creating and updating of material by the use of bapi and bdc

Hello All,
I am using bapi (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA ) and than bdc to create and update classification data of material.
I am facing a problem.
1) firstly I am creating material by the use of bapi and than after creation i want to update classification data for taht perticular material .
2) To update classification data i am using bdc . while at the time of updating material through bdc system showing me error that material is currently locked by user (my login name ).
Please suggest what to do.
Tkank you
With Regards
Shantanu Modi

When u update/create data it takes sometime to commit. So after using BAPI
give 10 minutes wait in ur program before updating classification data.
you can write like
wait up to 20 seconds.
and update the classification.

Creation of new employee groups and sub groups

Hi All,
What all the steps should I follow to create new employee groups and sub groups? and How many structures should I create for this?
Its urgent pls.......
Good replies will be rewarded!!!!
Regards,
Sita

Hi
You can create the employee groups depending up on your clients requirement, Eg: Permanent, Temporary, Seasonal, Trainee, Advisor etc
And define the employee subgroups and assign them to the employee groups Like
Enterprise structure>Definition>Human Resource Management-->Employee Groups & Employee Groups
Enterprise structure>Assignment>Human Resource Management-->Assign employee subgroup to employee group
you can create employee subgroups depending up on your requirement like asst manager, manager, GM, MD, VP ETC an assign them to the employee subgroups ok.
Ensure that certain empployee subgroups may not be assigned to employee group based on requiremen, but create all the employee sub groups which is existing in the organization.

In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

hello all
In LSMW, what is diff between LSMW-BAPI and LSMW-IDOC

Hi Swamy,
The differences between IDoc and BAPI are as follows:
IDOC
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system.
Idocs are processed asynchronously and no information whatsoever is returned to the client.
The target system need not be always online. The IDOC would be created and would send the IDOC once the target system is available (tRFC concept). Hence supports guaranteed delivery.
With asynchronous links the sub-process on the client can be finished even if the communication line or the server is not available. In this case the message is stored in the database and the communication can be done later.
The disadvantage of asynchronous links is that the sub-process on the server cannot return information to the calling sub-process on the client. A special way for sending information back to the client is required. In addition, a special error handling mechanism is required to handle errors on the receiving side.
IDOCs may be more changeable from release to release.
IDOCs are poorly documented.
BAPI
BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
BAPIs are called synchronously and (usually) return information.
For BAPIs the client code needs to do the appropriate error handling.
Problems with synchronous links occur if the communication line or the server is temporarily not available. If this happens, the sub-process on the client cannot be finished (otherwise there would be data inconsistencies).
Synchronous links have the advantage that the sub-process on the server can return values to the sub-process on the client that has started the link.
BAPIs are not totally immune to upgrades.
BAPIs are reasonably well documented.
Reward points if useful.

Sekhar

Difference Between BAPI And RFC in ABAP

Hi,
i want to know difference between BAPI and RFC in SAP,
can we call SAP GUI screen from NON SAP System Using BAPI.
Reg,
Hariharan

Hi Ravishankar,
The difference is not importat while you understand the concept.
I think, RFC is the protocol for calling functions from external systems in R/3.
I understand like BAPI a series of complet functions that SAP offers you for use and model a business use.
But if I need program a function that can be called for external system i would call it RFC_NAME, because is a unique function that makes a single task.
In other words, the difference i think is about work idea more than another thing.
RFC
A remote function call is a call to a function module running in a system different from the caller's. The remote function can also be called from within the same system (as a remote call).
RFC consists of two interfaces : A calling interface for ABAP Programs and a calling interface for Non-SAP programs.
The RFC Interface takes care of :-
- Converting all parameter data to the representation needed in the remote system
Calling the communication routines needed to talk to the remote system.
Handling communications errors, and notifying the caller, if desired ( using EXCEPTIONS paramater of the CALL FUNCTION).
BAPI
BAPIs are standardized programming interfaces (methods) enabling external applications to access business processes and data in the R/3 System.
BAPIs provide stable and standardized methods to achieve seamless integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.
BAPIs are defined in the BOR(Business object repository) as methods of SAP business object types that carry out specific business functions.
BAPIs are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
The most critical difference btwn BAPI and FM is that BAPI can be wrapped in Business objects whereas RFC cant.
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.

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.

Processing Leavers for Employee expenses and blocking their vendor records

Help please:
Is there a set way of stopping Employee expense records in FI when an employee leaves, and putting a payment block on his/her vendor record?
There is no employee status, therefore can the end dates be updated? If so, will this automatically block the vendor record from payments?
I believe that relevant programs are:
RPRAPA00 to load updates against the employee expense record;
RFBIKR00 / RSBDCBTC_SUB to update the vendor record.
Edited by: Andrew Staples on Feb 20, 2008 6:33 PM

Hello Cindy,
Yes, from FBZP it is only possible to do that if it is a House Bank.
Well, I imagine you will have to implement an ABAP user-exit in both processes (Selling, example transaction VF01 and Buying, example transaction MIRO) to check Customer and Vendor bank master data to avoid using the bank you don't want to.
The Customer Bank table is KNBK.
The Vendor Bank table is LFBK.
So, if you have a single bank, it is just a matter of comparing the related record from one of the tables with the bank key.
If there are more than one bank key to check, I suggest you to build a Z table with the "prohibited" bank keys.
Hope it helps you.
Regards,
Daniel.
