FM ABAP - XI - BAPI

Hi.
Have a function mudule in ABAP that's calling a standard bapi.
Depending on configuration we get back it calls the bapi localy or by calling XI to get information from an other system.
Calling localy = no problem.
But how do i setup the configuration in in XI when I perform the following in the functin module?
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_****' DESTINATION dest
dest = XI
What do i need to do in XI to get this to work?

Kalle

hi,
you need to create a whole flow in XI
BAPI.request - XI - BAPI.response
if you need to make it synchronous
you need to develop all objects in ID and IR
there is no other way

ABAP Function(BAPI) to create XI component.

Hi.
I need a documentation or code example about creation of XI components(BPM, Mapping) with ABAP functions(BAPI), please.
regards.

Moorthy
Sorry, but my requierement was not really so clear. I need to discover for example, when I create a BMP in the Integration Builder, this is object is recorded in the R/3 environment.So that this possible, because some objects(OO) or functions(BAPI)they are executed. I need a documentation or code example where this is applied, please.

ABAP with BAPI'S ?

Hello Friends,
I am basically a J2ee developer and very new to ABAP Programming language, and need to do some BAPI call through ABAP. I am having a following problem, and I am very thankful to some one who can help me out !
The problem is:
For example
DATA : MY_NUMBER        LIKE         BAPIRET2- NUMBER,
       MY_TEXTFORMAT    LIKE         BAPITGA-TEXTFORMAT,
correct me if I am wronge, BAPIRET2- is an internal-table or structure and - NUMBER, is its attribute, ? if its true then,
1) Do we alwayas need for each BAPI to define its parameter and initilize with LIKE to the attribute of the internal database table ?
2) how do I come to know that, for which bapi which internal database table I have to use from SAP SYSTEM ?
I have already looked in many articals of BAPI, but did not help me much,
Thanks in advance
Haider Syed.

Hi Syed,
Do you want to call these BAPIs from ABAP or from JAVA?
From ABAP - it is pretty simple. You just can do something like that:
REPORT z_mi_test .
DATA: l_debtorid                TYPE bapi1007-customer.
DATA: ls_debitor_general_detail TYPE bapi1007_4.
l_debtorid = '0000000001'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DEBTOR_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
    debtorid                     = l_debtorid
COMPANYCODE                  =
IMPORTING
   debitor_general_detail        = ls_debitor_general_detail
DEBITOR_COMPANY_DETAIL       =
RETURN                       =
TABLES
DEBITOR_BANK_DETAIL          =
This function module 'BAPI_DEBTOR_GETDETAIL' corresponds to the method 'GetDetail' of Buisness Object 'Debtor'.
The types of IMPORT/EXPORT/TABLES parameters of the function module you can just see in SE37. Just start this transaction enter the name of the Function Module, like 'BAPI_DEBTOR_GETDETAIL. Or you just can navigate to this transaction when making double click on the Function Module name in BAPI explorer.
Anyway, you can find the types of the parameters on the corresponded tab strips Import, Export and Tables.

Where does ABAP programs , BAPI's etc., get saved?

Hi friends
We have an ERP server (ECC) and have created lots of database tables, functions, Abap programs etc.,
For some reason our ERP software is corrupted. However, the SQL database looks ok.
So here is what we want to do.
Since the SQL database is good, So we would like to backup the SQL database first.
We have a ghost image of the server that was done some 2 months back. So we would like to install the ghost image of the server from 2 months back. This will bring the server back to working condition but without data.
Then recover the SQL database which we backed up before installing the ghost.
By doing this, will we be able to get back all the tables, data elements, BAPIs, functions, ABAP programs etc.,
Please let us know.
I will really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ram

(subfolders COFILE and DATA of DIR_TRANS contain the transport requests once they are released, and they must exist in your system, check via AL11 to get the actual name on server, e.g. /usr/sap/trans/cofiles.)
Program sources are stored in a cluster like (comrpessed) table (tables REPOSRC and REPOTEXT and for older versions tables D010S, D010SINF, D010T, D010TINF) and so not easily downloadable.
You can create a report that read thru the abap program header table (TRDIR or via TADIR ) and execute the [READ REPORT|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREAD_REPORT.htm] statement to load source into an internal table, then you can download it

ABAP BDC & BAPI

hi,
why BAPI is required instead of BDC and what secenario we will use BAPI and BDC?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Baskar,
Difference between BDC and BAPI
BDC is traditional way of coding the transactions for uploading the legacy data, Sap is changing all transactions to Object oriented programming. Since BAPI is Object based and supports all the new transactions it is preffered over BDC. More over BAPI's process data faster than BDC.
BAPI is a SAP-supplied function module with a defined interface, which allows you to interact with various business objects. SAP guarantees the integrity of your database for anything updated using a BAPI. BDC is a method of driving screens programatically, for updating SAP data. BAPIs are generally faster than BDCs.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly". Whereas BDC with call
transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, fills screens.
However - there is not always a BAPI for a particular transaction and not all functions that are performed by a transaction can be done by a BAPI. BDCs produce error sessions which can be processed by the user, while BAPIs don't.
First choose the BAPI ,if there is no BAPI go for BDC.
why BAPI first not BDC.
SAP comes up with Change in Version, so each and every time they will change the screens/number etc.
so you have to change your BDC programs accordingly.
and also Most of the Latest versions transactions are Enjoy Transaction. they will not support BDC's in Background.
But Using BAPI's No such disadvantages.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code.
A BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.
Actually it depends on your requirement but BAPI is more effective as it is standard function module to update SAP databases rather than BDC.
using bdc over bapi has advantages and also disadvantages
advantages:
1. using bdc we can upload data into database tables using 2 ways
1. foreground -
means that user interaction is there for each and every record.
2. back ground -
no user interaction and tasks are done automatically.
using these two options is one of the greatest advantage over bapi.
2. in bdc call transaction method we can control the display of screen resolution which is not possible with bapi's
3. bdc is generally used for transferring of large amount of data than bapi's
4.session method of bdc allows us to place data directly in application server and then finally transfered into sap database tables
disadvantages:
1.bdc is only used for sap to sap system data transferring
2. bapis's generally works more faster than bdc's
3. using bapis we can connect to remote systems and also to non sap systems.
if useful reward some points.
A BAPI is a method of a SAP Business Object. BAPI enables SAP and third party applications to interact and integrate
with each other at the Business Object / Process level.
Check this link to know more about BAPI.
http://www.sapgenie.com/abap/bapi/example.htm
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest batch interfacing technique that SAP provided since the early versions of R/3. BDC is not a
typical integration tool, in the sense that, it can be only be used for uploading data into R/3 and so it is not bi-directional.
BDC works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen, via an ABAP program. Typically the input comes in the form
of a flat file. The ABAP program reads this file and formats the input data screen by screen into an internal table (BDCDATA). The
transaction is then started using this internal table as the input and executed in the background.
In Call Transaction, the transactions are triggered at the time of processing itself and so the ABAP program must do the error handling.
It can also be used for real-time interfaces and custom error handling & logging features. .
To know more about BDC,
check the link.
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Main differences are...
In case of bdc data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem
where is bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.
not only that...
when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc willnot support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.

HR-ABAP Any BAPI or Function module to update infotypes 167 & 170

Hi,
Can anyone let me know is there any BAPI or Function module to update infotypes 167(Health Plans) & 170(Flexible Spending Accounts).
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
U can use HR_BEN_CREATE_PLANS internally it calls HR infotype operation as specified by suresh.
Suresh : If there are approximately 3000 records to be updated on regular basis do u think is it better to use BAPI's or BDC

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. 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.

BAPI diff Method in ABAP class

Dear friends
Coul any1 tel me hw BAPI differed frm a method whic used in an ABAP class , BAPI is also a method of a BOR.
And is it possible to replace a BAPI using a method of an ABAP class..
cheers
sakthi

Hello Sakthi
The concept of BOR methods is purely semantic and has nothing to do with ABAP-OO.
The so-called method of business objects are implemented by BAPIs.
The cannot be replaced by ABAP class methods. In particular, BAPIs are RFC-enabled whereas class methods cannot (yet) be called remotely.

Uwe

How to Call Webservices in ABAP(Syntax) created in abap ,java etc

All Champs,
Can some one explain me(programatically) that how to access webservices in following cases.
case 1: A webservice created in ABAP (FM,BAPI,FUNCTION GROUP) by using wizard . How to call this webservice in report or in any bsp or webdynpro application.
case 2: A webservice created in JAVA,.NET or in any third party technology , how to use in abap(by considering that endpoint has been created for third party webservice)
points will be rewarded .
regards
panky

Hi,
case 1: for WDP, you can create the web service model via "Import Adaptive Web Service" or "Import Web Service Model (deprecated)" by supplying wsdl URL.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/wdjava/faq%2b-%2bmodels%2b-%2badaptive%2bweb%2bservice
case 2: In ABAP, create a proxy object at trx code SE80.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/bf/d005244e9d1d4d92b2fe7935556b4c/frameset.htm

How to pull data from Active Directory in ABAP (non-CUA approach)?

All,
We have a requirement to pull information from AD into a WAS 6.20 system.
I know there is the standard CUA/UME LDAP synchronization discussed at length in this forum but this in not what we are looking for. We would like to connect from an ABAP program (BAPI/RFC) to AD and pull a specific field and store it in a custom table.
I found one thread that describes how to do this with WebDynpro in Java, but this would be our last resort since we wouldn't be able to do that from the actual 6.20 WAS but would have to use another 2004s system which would extend the architecture of the current design.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
GS

Hi,
1. First configure the LDAP properties in transaction LDAP
2.You can use the functions LDAP_SYSTEMBIND and LDAP_SEARCH to retrieve the info you want
you can read <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/906061c5-176b-2910-5091-e23baa4e7038">this document</a> for more help

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALE

HI
COULD ANYBODY TEL ME
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALE

Hi Kalyan
ALE is a SAP specific method how to distribute data from and to SAP. It uses the asynchronous calls based on IDOC structures.
However in the distribution modell of ALE can also be used BAPIs. They will then automatically converted into IDOC structures. After creating the IDOCs they will be passed over to the receiver using the tRFC protocol.
Wheras the BAPIs are using the sRFC protocol.

ABAP coding in LSMW

Hi All,
A)Is it possible to write ABAP coding in LSMW, if yes where can we do this. and
B)During the First Step of LSMW we come across 1. Standard/Batch Direct Input
                                                                      2.Batch input recording
                                                                      3.Business Object Method (BAPI)
                                                                      4.IDOC(intermediate document)
which one to use and when to use?
C) what are the advantages/disadvantages of LSMW compared to other data transfer methods like BDC.
please let me know the answers for above.
useful answers will be rewarded for the same.
Regards,
Yellappa.

hi
for q posed to ashvinder, its used only for validation of the input records and their corresponding processing, i will explain a simple scenario,
1. if u want to transfer data a part of which has already been created in the system. You
want to decide at runtime whether the data is created or changed.
u can write this coding in corresponding field
2. You want to "skip" a record depending on a certain condition, i.e. this record shall not be converted and transferred to the output file.
3. Duplicate a Record
If want complex pricing procedures u cant do that in LSMW, u need to go for BDC's
for ur question about what to use, BAPI or IDOC, check this link

Using bapi how to upload the data into sap database?

hi dear all,
im facing problem with bapi ? let me edcuate on bapi ..
i will be waiting for reply.
my e-id :[email protected]
thanks&regards
shiva.

Hi
A BAPI is a method of a SAP Business Object. BAPI enables SAP and third party applications to interact and integrate
with each other at the Business Object / Process level.
Check this link to know more about BAPI.
http://www.sapgenie.com/abap/bapi/example.htm
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest batch interfacing technique that SAP provided since the early versions of R/3. BDC is not a
typical integration tool, in the sense that, it can be only be used for uploading data into R/3 and so it is not bi-directional.
BDC works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen, via an ABAP program. Typically the input comes in the form
of a flat file. The ABAP program reads this file and formats the input data screen by screen into an internal table (BDCDATA). The
transaction is then started using this internal table as the input and executed in the background.
In Call Transaction, the transactions are triggered at the time of processing itself and so the ABAP program must do the error handling.
It can also be used for real-time interfaces and custom error handling & logging features. .
To know more about BDC,
check the link.
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Main differences are...
In case of bdc data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem
where is bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.
not only that...
when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc willnot support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.
