Exception handling for a standard SAP Function Module - the OO way

Hello,
I was wondering what is the correct way to call a standard SAP function module inside a method of global class.
I want to display the error via the:
get_text( ) and get_longtext( ) methods.
I don't want to use the sy-subrc check. Is this possible?
My example doesn't seem to work...
See example bellow:
DATA: ex_object_cx_root TYPE REF TO cx_root,
 ex_text TYPE string,
 ex_text_long TYPE string.
TRY.
 CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CONFIRM'
 EXPORTING
 i_lgnum = i_lgnum " Warehouse number
 i_tanum = i_tanum " Transfer order number
 i_quknz = '1' " '1' - confirm withdrawal only (picking )
 i_commit_work = 'X' " Indicator whether COMMIT WORK in function module
 TABLES
 t_ltap_conf = it_ltap_conf " Table of items to be confirmed
 EXCEPTIONS
 to_confirmed = 1 " Transfer order already confirmed
 to_doesnt_exist = 2
 item_confirmed = 3
 item_subsystem = 4
 to_item_split_not_allowed = 51
 input_wrong = 52
 OTHERS = 53.
 CATCH cx_root INTO ex_object_cx_root.
 ex_text = ex_object_cx_root->get_text( ).
 ex_text_long = ex_object_cx_root->get_longtext( ).
 " Error:
 RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE zcx_transfer_order
 EXPORTING textid = zcx_transfer_order=>zcx_transfer_order
 err_class = 'ZCL_WM_TRANSFER_ORDER'
 err_method = 'CONFIRM_TO_2STEP_PICKING'
 err_message_text = ex_text
 err_message_text_long = ex_text_long.
ENDTRY.
Thank you very much in advance

Hello Marko,
If i understand correctly you've enclosed the call to the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' inside the TRY ... CATCH ... ENDTRY block.
CATCH cx_root INTO ex_object_cx_root.
 ex_text = ex_object_cx_root->get_text( ).
 ex_text_long = ex_object_cx_root->get_longtext( ).
You can't do this because the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' doesn't propagate OO exceptions!
Your approach is almost correct, what you've to do is goes like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CONFIRM'
EXPORTING
 i_lgnum = i_lgnum " Warehouse number
 i_tanum = i_tanum " Transfer order number
 i_quknz = '1' " '1' - confirm withdrawal only (picking )
 i_commit_work = 'X' " Indicator whether COMMIT WORK in function module
TABLES
 t_ltap_conf = it_ltap_conf " Table of items to be confirmed
EXCEPTIONS
 to_confirmed = 1 " Transfer order already confirmed
 to_doesnt_exist = 2
 item_confirmed = 3
 item_subsystem = 4
 to_item_split_not_allowed = 51
 input_wrong = 52
 OTHERS = 53.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4
 INTO ex_text. "Get the ex_text by this technique & not by CX_ROOT->GET_TEXT()
ENDIF.
I'll have to check how to fetch the long text of the message

Reading SAP function modules using FromSAPIdentity pass

Hi,
We have SAP NW IDM 7.2 SP7 environment
And I have been using FromSAPIdentity pass to read SAP function modules.
A typical configuration will looks like below
Above works like a charm and everything is as expected :-)
Now i am trying to fetch data from another function module.
Here the challenge is import parameter entry need to be provided with selection criteria say something like below for PARAMETER1
SIGN=E
OPTION=EQ
LOW=<Value>
HIGH=<Value>
Does FromSAPIdentity pass accepts selection criteria input for "PARAMETERS" ?
If yes, which format should i follow to provide those values ?
Thanks

Does SAP.Functions support unicode?

Hi,
I have an ASP page using Server.CreateObject("SAP.Functions") to connect to SAP ecc 6.0. Does anyone know whether the wdtfuncs.ocx supports unicode? The result i got back from SAP shows English contents correctly but not Cyrillic character. Source code is something like this
Set oSAP = Server.CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
Set oConn = oSAP.Connection
oConn.User = sUID
oConn.Password = sPWD
oConn.Language = "EN"
oConn.Destination = sServer
oConn.Client = iClient
oConn.GroupName = sServer
oConn.MessageServer = sMessageServer
oConn.codepage = "4110"
oConn.Logon 0, True
Set oRFC = oSAP.Add(SAPFunctionModueName)
Set oParam = oRFC.Exports(ParameterName)
oParam.Value = ParameterValue
Set oOut = oRFC.Tables(SAPoutputTableName)
oRFC.Call
The SAP .net connector works well, but in this case i have to use the .ocx file trying to avoid rewriting existing application with .net.

Sorry, the SAP version is 710

Pro's and cons of becoming SAP functional consultant

Dear All,
I am shifting towards SAP functional consulting job. I want to know the Pro's and con's of SAP functional consultant job.

You can unload a lot of work on the technical consultant / developer and let him join the logical dots of what you're trying to design, and you get paid 50% more on top, now how's that?
All you need to do is look business and talk business.
Thomas
P.S. wait, I'm a technical consultant, arrrgh...

SAP ABAP or SAP Functional???

Hi all,
Im in SAP technical consultant since 16 months but i have observed that functional consultants have better prospects in career growth, im interested to switch to functional. Is this a right decision to switch to functional?
If yes, which module should i be traind in and any registered institute in bangalore providing the same.
And is it that only MBA candidates can go into functional?
And what will be my job profile after 2 yrs?? will it be SAP technical or SAP functional or SAP technofunctional and for which profile shuld i apply for?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Both technical and functional has better career prospects. It depends on each person to which career path
he likes to take. If you are good at technical you should continue in the same. It is always better to be in
your strong area instead of moving to another area thinking of career prospects.
And to move to become a functional consultant you should have domain experience. It is not like
learning the technical things. You have to gain that through experience. With such a small experience of
16 months, i would say you continue for some more time there and learn the functional side of the
module that you are currently working on. If you move to the functionla side in same module, you
will be more comfortable. But if you are moving to a totally different module, domain experience
matters and the career prospects for you will be less with no domain experience.
And there is nothing like an MBA can only do functional. It is the domain experience matters, not really the degree.
And the profile after 2 years, you should decide which path to take. With the current profile , you will be a technical
consultant.

Leon

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,
jamie

Remote SAP function call from a plsql procedure

Hi,
How i can call a remote SAP function from a plsql procedure?
Thnaks in advance:
Bianca

I don't see any relation to Oracle Forms in this question. Is there any? If so, can you specify what you want to do, and the version numbers of Forms and databases involved?
And what does a call to a remote SAP procedure look like? Is it a DB procedure in an Oracle database? Then you can simply use a database link to the SAP database.

Documentation for SAP function modules??

Hello,
is there any documentation for the SAP function modules available?
I need documentation for SJ01 (SAP Objects). If I try to view the documentation in SE80, I get the error message: "Document OJ_XXX(whatever I selected) is not available in language DE"
Where can I get this documentation?
Is there an overview+documentation available somewhere of all SAP functions which may be used for own programs? Or how do I know what's already available and how to use it?
Thanks
Steffi

SAP Functional Module for authorization tables

I would like to know are there any standard SAP Functional Modules which could update the Authorization Tables, like AGR_1251.
Thank you

Hi Prabhu,
Other than function modules with role, I had also tried to look for function modules with AuthObject*.
Because, I would like to update remove one of the authorization object from the system. For example, remove all data which AUTHORIZATION OBJECT = S_SCD0 and ACTIVITY = 06 in the system.
I got the list of functions from the search, but all of them are without proper documentations. So is very hard for me to understand their functionalities and purposes.
Kindly advice.
Thank you.

Module pool / Screen Prog is there any standard SAP functionality ?

Hi I am creating a Module pool / Screen Prog. On this screen I have nearly 100 fileds , now I want to take print out of all the information shown on the screen for the same is there any standard SAP functionality ?
Does SAP provides any standarar ready made functionality for the same. ?

No, there is no standard functionality for this. dynpros are not designed to "print out". This is what list displays are for. That said, you will need to write your logic to kick off a list display with all of your field values there, then the user can print.

Can a SQL Server stored procedure call an SAP function module?

Can a SQL Server stored procedure call an SAP function module.? The stored procedure will be called via a trigger when data records are added to a Z table.

You have two options:
- the other software can use the RFC SDK and call directly in the system
- the other software can use a database connect

Remove a Function from SAP.Functions (opposite of .add)

Hi,
I have a function written in SAP which I call several times with new importparameters (called by VBA/Excel). The output goes to a table.
Although the functions clears the table, the table just keeps growing in the result.
It seems like the data is kept, but I guess with every new call all the previous functions get called as well, so I need to unload the function every time (un-add it ), however I don't know how to do this (I didn't try obvious commands like REMOVE or so, as I guess it might reset also the connection).
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,
Alain
In addition, some snippits:
    Set functionCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
    Set sapConnection = functionCtrl.Connection
(than login is done)
The above is called only once, the next part several times with new matererialnumbers....
   Set theFunc = functionCtrl.Add("YRFC_MyFunc")
   theFunc.exports("Mat") = MatNr
   FuncResult = theFunc.Call
    If FuncResult = True Then
        For Each veld In theFunc.tables("TABUIT").Rows
            Cells(teller, 6) = veld("MFRNR")
            Cells(teller, 7) = veld("LIFNAME")
            Cells(teller, 8) = veld("HTNNR")
            Cells(teller, 9) = veld("MFRPN")
            Cells(teller, 10) = veld("MSTAE")
            teller = teller + 1
        Next
        Set theFunc = Nothing
    Else
            Cells(teller, 6) = "???"
    End If

If I clear the table with 'free' i.s.o. 'clear', the problem doens't occur...(I had to change something else when I remembered that clear isn't always the best for Tables)
However, now just for fun, if any knows if a function can be removed, please reply anyway

Too many connections to call SAP functions

Hello everyone,
I'm having a random problem while accessing SAP functions on my applications.
Sometimes i get this message:
Could not create JCOClientConnection for logical Systems: WD_MODELDATA_DEST - Model: class com.xxx.sap.NameController.
Please assure that you have configured the RFC connections and/or logical system name properly for this model.
A friend tells me that this has to do with the fact that i use one model per SAP function ,
and a custom controller for each unique model.
This creates too many connections and launches the error.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem without
having to reimport all my functions into one single model and one single custom controller ??
My biggest problem is that doing that would increase the time spent on project development dramatically.
         Thank you everyone,
              Nuno Santos

Hi Guillaume,
My answers:
1. All connections are closed by time-out, but i would really apreciate if someone could explain how to explicitly close them after calling them.
2. No. That is the big problem. This was my first project, and in a very simplistic (and stupid) way i created a webdynpro model for each SAP function that i call. This means that an application may call 5 or 6 functions during it's runtime, meaning 5 or 6 connections. Multiply this by a few hundred users...
What are my choices here?
Help will be really apreciated.
   Thanks to everyone,
       Nuno Santos
