What is ABAP Interface?

Dear All,
What is SAP ABAP Interface?
What are the duties of ABAP Interface Developer?

Hi davabap,
In interfaces, we have Inbound(Receiving) and Outbound(Sending) interfaces.
This can be done via IDE(Intercompany Data Exchange).
The data is exchanged through IDOCs (Intermediary Documents)
Here are some good links on IDOCs-

What is ABAP/JAVA Proxy and whats the use of it?

Hello All,
What is ABAP/JAVA Proxy. And why do we need to use them? I am not sure of the definitions given on help.sap.com. Thats the reason I am posting this question. Right answer will be rewarded. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Farooq.

HI Farooq
ABAP Proxy
ABAP server proxy is created for the inbound interface creted in XI's Integration repository proxy should be created in the business system for which the interface is created .
U can reference following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/02/265c3cf311070ae10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Server Proxies are generated for Inbound Message Interfaces. These are used to Process the Data coming into SAP System from an external application.
Sproxy is the transaction to generate Proxies.
Plz refer to this blog on abap server proxies
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/04/03/abap-server-proxies
Java Proxy
Java Proxoies are used to allows your java Applications ( j2ee, j2se applications )to interact directly to the Integration Server of XI without any special adapters.
All documents are available on SDN itself .
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7d4db211-0d01-0010-1e8e-9b07fc2113ab - How To Work with XI 3.0 Java Proxies
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a068cf2f-0401-0010-2aa9-f5ae4b2096f9- Java Proxies and SAP XI - The Inside Story, Part 1

Proxies help you achieve non-standard functionality for which the out of box XI adapters do not suffice. Just to give you an example, consider a system with which XI has to integrate , the only interface the system offers is a TCP / IP socket based interface. You could write a Java proxy which would interact over sockets with your target system, which is not possible with other standard adapters which are shipped with your XI installation
You can refer demo on SDN TV, on this link

Difference between PI/XI interface and ABAP interface

Hello Experts,
We are in the process of identifying interfaces for our current client. I am looking for some documentation or any specific information that will help me to differentiate between SAP PI interface and ABAP Interface. Basically I want to know what are the advantages of PI interface over ABAP interface. What is better? and why?
Any information would be of great help. Thanks.

PI (versus point to point ABAP) advantages are:
1)     Centralized control over data security
2)     More effective (centralized) interface failure monitoring and resolution
3)     Elimination of redundant development and maintenance costs

What is data interface?

Hi friends,
what is data interface?

Hai Pratap
In ABAP context , interfaces are only of two types.
1) INBOUND interfaces
2)OUTBOUND Interfaces.
INBOUND:(from external system data is fetched as flat files which is moved to SAP database tables).
in this process we get data in the form of flat files(.txt or .xlx). we will read this data from the files using FM like UPLOAD/WS_UPLOAD/GUI_UPLOAD into internal
tables. And using BDC methods or LSMW tool, we will update the database tables with this data.
OUTBOUND:(Data from SAP dtabase is retrieved adn stored as flatfiles on presentaion server or application server)
In this process we retrieve data using select statements from the database tables and will populate the internal tables. based on the requirement, we will use FM like DOWNLOAD/WS_DOWNLAOD/GUI_DOWNLOAD to write data from internal tables to flat files on th presentation server.
*the above mentioned Fm will work for files on presentaion server(local file system) . IF u want to handle files on the application server, use DATASET.
Other technologies that u mentioned like RFC, BAPI, EDI,ALE, IDOCS etc might be used as apart of interface code.

Sreeni

What is ABAP

Dear Experts,
Could anybody please explain what is ABAP??
Regards,
Deva.

Hi,
ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a high level programming language created by the German software company SAP. It is currently positioned as the language for programming SAP's Web Application Server, part of its NetWeaver platform for building business applications. Its syntax is somewhat similar to COBOL.
The ABAP programming language was originally used by SAP developers to develop the SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP applications customers can add custom reports and interfaces, and enhance user experience, with ABAP programming. This 4GL is fairly easy to learn for programmers but is too complex for ordinary users. High-level programming skills are still required to create ABAP programs.
ABAP remains the language for creating programs for the client-server R/3 system, which SAP first released in 1992. As computer hardware evolved through the 1990s, more and more of SAP's applications and systems were written in ABAP. By 2001, all but the most basic functions were written in ABAP. In 1999, SAP released an object-oriented extension to ABAP called ABAP Objects, along with R/3 release 4.5.
SAP's most recent development platform, NetWeaver, supports both ABAP and Java.

How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

HI All,
I just wanted to know how do we find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job codes .
Thanks In Advance
Sunny

Hi,
Here is an idea for your request.
Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
Choose following characters into your objects:
InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV ) - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
*Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
*BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ, ( this will give you the name of the queries)
In key figures choose, Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
(number for query run)
Create a condition , for top 20.
Hope this helps.

Which case we go for abap interface?

Hi friends,
As per my understand some scenario's are running with out PI integration.........those are called abap interfaces....
then which case we go for Pi? and which case we go for ABAP interface?
please help me on this...
Thanks & Regards
E.Ravi Chandra Reddy

Hi Ravi,
Understand this way,PI is not only for mapping.It is also used for doing the routing at the runtime.Suppose if you have A coming in the payload it should go to receiver X otherwise Y.
So,depends as per your business requirement.If you just want to integrate 2 system directly.You can go with that but suppose in future you have number of system,you cant do 1:1 connection everytime.At that time you require some middleware to integrate your scenario.

No implementing class registered for the interface (ABAP interface, request

Hi,
Proxy has been generated for the Inbound Message interface and i could see the SXMB_MONI entry in Red on the target system.

Hi Chaitanya,
Try the below configuration in SXMB_ADM,if you don't have the authorisations to SXMB_MONI ask BASIS guys to do the below activities.
Go to SXMB_ADM.

What are the interfaces done in Shipping

hello SD gurus,
i am new to SAP n i am attending interview in my first interview itself i was posed a question . what are the interfaces u have done in Shipping?
so i request any one to help me in this regard wich not helps here but to prepare my self to make ready with all other topics also plz help me in answering this question even not exactly but also related
bye
venu

Dear Venu,
dont worry about it. Well interfaces are nothing but the sap system talks with a non sap system which the client has been using. Like we have an interface to manage the shipping functionality in our system called nistevo. The data from the delivery flows to that particular interface through BAPI's or some program so that the other system understands the information sent and it starts working. Also the confirmations from that other system are updated in SAP using these Zee programs. In a nutshell, interfaces are non sap systems which talk with sap.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards
