Implemanting Rosettanet PIP 3A4 using BAPI's / RFC's

Has anyone implemented RosettaNet 3A4 scenario in a productive environment with XI using BAPI's / RFC's?
We are looking to build B2B using Rosettanet 3A4 but having a hard time finding success stories. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi experts using bapi what we do on abap.

hi experts using bapi what we do on abap how it is whats the use , normally how we work on bapis in realtime.

Hi Sri,
1.BAPI is nothing but the RFC enabled function module.
2.You can use BAPI to collect the data from database as well
   as insert & update the database.
   E.g. BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_GETDETAIL for collecting info regarding Business partner.
         BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE to modify the database against business partner
         BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD to insert the data.
3. You can also use BAPI as RFC Funcrion module.
Please reward points if finds useful.
Regard,
Swarup

When and Why we use BAPI, RFC and IDOC.. in XI

Hi,
Could any one tell me why we some time use BAPI, and some times use RFC and some times use IDOC while communicating with the SAP systems.
Is there any differences while using the same.
regards,
Sunil

Sunil,
RFC and BAPI are same as per the technical point of view both are remote enabled function module..
BAPI is provided by SAP while RFC is created by a developer..
IDoc is another proprietary technology of SAP for exchnaging messages .
Difference lies here :
1. For RFC/BAPI you need to use RFc adapter
while for IDoc you need to use IDoc adapter..
2. For RFC you need to create RFC destinations not for Idoc
3. For Idoc you also need to manage Partners Profiles..inn R3..
These are few differences in using RFC/BAPI and Idoc...not the only ones..
Feel free for any clarification..
Regards,

Is it possible to retrieve data using RFC alone with out using BAPI ?

Hi ,
Is it possible to connect SAP to Non-SAP systems to retrieve data using RFC alone with out using BAPI ?
thanks
Rama

Hello Nelson,
Could you please explain how this can be done. Because my understanding is that only BAPI can be used to connect Non SAP and SAP system not RFC function module.

Rosettanet PIP 7B5 message

Who can provide information regarding Rosettanet PIP 7B5 message regarding mapping from an IDOC.
The scenario is the Design House responses back to OEM by sending PIP3A4 PO Response and releases a work order to the Contract Manufacture who does all the manufacturing for him (by sending RosettaNet PIP 7B5 Release Work Order, the CM response back with a PIP7B6 work order response).
Mapping is required based on the purchase order or perhaps the production order.

HI,
The component ROSETTANET contains mainly the definitions of the PIP's, while the components ROSETTANET ERP and ROSETTANET CRM
contain (most importantly) the mappings against the respective SAP backend (CRM or ERP).
If you look for complete support of PIP's including the mapping to the backend (IDoc or BAPI) you need to check which PIP's
are supported in ROSETTANET CRM or ROSETTANET ERP. As of today SAP offers mappings for the following PIP's:
PIP3A4
PIP3A7
PIP3A8
PIP3A9
PIP3B2
PIP3C3
PIP3C6
If you are only interested in the PIP definition, you need to check the content of the component ROSETTANET (here you don't find the latest information on the service marketplace). In general, SAP is working on making all PIP's available in that component. If you are missing some PIP you can contact SAP, e.g.
Currently you find the following PIP's:
PIP2A12
PIP3A1, 3A2, 3A4, 3A6, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9
PIP3B2, 3B12, 3B13, 3B14
PIP3C3, 3C4, 3C6
PIP4A1, 4A5
PIP5C1, 5C2, 5C3, 5C4
PIP6C1, 6C2
3C4 and PIP6C* series.

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.

Using remote enabled rfcs can we send data from one system to other..

or do can we do this only b/w twp sap systems.
why do we use bapis then.
wat is its difference b/w rfc and bapi.

Hi Jaya Krishna,
RFC's can be accessed from non SAP systems also.
Technically BAPIs are RFcs Function modules only.
The only differenece is the business utility of them. The BAPIs have a standard Business functionality attached to them, like creation of an Order, Changing a Purchase document etc, Where as normal RFC function modules may or may not have a specific business functionality attached to them.

Attach document from application server using BAPI

Hi,
I am trying to attach files to Document Info Record using BAPI
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN_REPLACE2. When i execute the z program that calls this BAPI on
presentation server in foreground by giving path of documents which are locating on local pc it works
fine and check in the file in document infor record
But when i run program in background and file path is of application server.It gives error that
Program no longer started via RFC. No return possible.
I want to know the cause of this error.
Please help.

i think u need to pass Storage category = FILESYSTEM.
check the documentation of data element -
DE CV_STORAGE_CAT
but i'm not 100% sure abt it.

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.

SAP ECC 6.0 - Using BAPIs for C# to extract data out

I have had a client recommend a strategy of extracting data usin C# (Visual Studio 2005) to extract data from SAP ECC using BAPIs.
We do have an existing methodology in place using flat files to extract data to non SAP systems
We have purchase XI which we intend to implement next year.
I basically wanted to keep things tidy and continue with the flat file interface strategy just to keep things simple going forward to XI.
THen there is also the security piece, the developer has had to slowly build a profile / roles that alows him to come in thru visual studio to access these BAPIs
I am looking for anyone who has had experience with this and what your experiences are. As well, what are the SAP best practicies concerning this strategy
Thank YOU ALL who will reply

I think that SAP's strategy toward exposing BAPI is leaning toward leveraging their AS-JAVA stack. With the AS-JAVA Enterprise Services and standard delivered web content, SAP is already exposing many existing BAPI/Business Functionality outside of the ABAP world. However, that's not saying that traditional flat files have no place in the future. Matter of fact, I don't see flat/delimited files going away any time soon.
It all really comes down to what you are doing, you may even end up with a landscape that's a mix of files/RFCs. Here inhouse, we leverage file based transfers for large data sets such as SAP BI OHS extracts, and daily R/3 FI extracts. Why file? because it's simple, easy to control, and you can see the data being transferred. A file can be "hold in my hands" if you will, at best there's just a few characters in-flight.
As for RFCs, any type of RFCs in fact (Anything from sap .net connector to AS-JAVA ESOA Based ES), are basically designed for transactional data. Here, you are looking at things that are high in transactional count but small in individual size. Your client's call using C#, it all really depends on how you are doing it. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make sure you are using a proven, standarized, and SAP supported way, PERIOD. NEVER EVER go into production with a "hack".
For the high-transactional-count-small-individual transactions, we leverage BizTalk Server (BTS) here. I'll be frank, we are not using BTS because we wrote it. We are using BTS because it just works better for us, in our environment. BTS now support SAP 2.0 connector (registered program ID) and SAP 3.0 (WCF based, direct SAP RFC call, supported by Microsoft AND SAP). We are leveraging these adapters and BTS (as distribution and transformation) in our environment more and more.
So, long story short: Determine the transaction type, multiple solutions is ok, make sure the solution is supported!
