What is FM extractor and when we are using :
Sometimes, if your application or requirement makes it necessary, you have to create your own function module to extract the data from whatever sap system to bw.
Therefore you normally make a copy of the standard fm 'RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE'. To make this new function work for you, you have to realize the following.

hi..
The important function modules are
Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge
Reuse_alv_list_display
Reuse_alv_events_get
Reuse_alv_grid_display
Reuse_alv_commentary_write.
REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
 This function module is used to populate a field catalog which is essential to display the data in ALV.
 If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table name as a parameter (I_structure_name) in the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we need to create it.
Note : Fieldcatalog can be filled manually also by filling up all the required details into the internal table
The important parameters are:
 1. Export:
 a. I_program_name : report id
 b. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table
 c. I_inclname : include or the report name where all
 the dynamic forms are handled.
 2. Changing
 ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type
 SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is declared in the
 type pool SLIS.
REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
This is the function module which prints the data.
The important parameters are:
1. Export:
 I_callback_program : report id
 I_bypassing_buffer : X
 I_buffer_active :
 I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can set
 his own pf status or change the
 functionality of the existing pf status.
 I_callback_user_command : routine where the function codes are
 handled.
 I_structure name : name of the dictionary table
 Is_Layout : structure to set the layout of the report
 It_fieldcat : internal table with the list of all fields and their
 attributes which are to be printed (this table
 can be populated automatically by the function
 REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
 It_events : internal table with a list of all possible events
 of ALV and their corresponding form names.
2. Tables:
 a. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output
REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET: 
 Returns table of possible events for a a list type
1. Import:
 Et_Events :
 The event table is returned with all possible CALLBACK events for the specified list type (column NAME). For events to be processed by the Callback, their FORM field must be filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The entry can be read from the event table, the field FORM filled and the entry modified using constants from the type pool SLIS.
2. Export:
 I_list_type:
 0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
 1 = hierarchical-sequential list
 REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
 2 = simple block list REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
 3 = hierarchical-sequential block list
 REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
A new function from 4.6 version, to display the results in grid rather than a
preview.
Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display

Thanks,
Rashmi

Hi SAP Gurus,
as now i got some idea that SAP has provided lot of funtional modules and also we can create our own function modules,
1, can any one tell with an example when and at what cases this funtional modules are made use of, and how will we come to know which funtional module has to be made use of and for which specific purposes.
2, do you mean to say SAP has provided many funtional modules but they are in Dormant stage untill activated or made use of.
3. Is developing funtional module mainly ABAPers work or could be done by Funtional person alltogether (in case of using the existing FMs
4, When and how this FMs work, what is the trigger point do we have to run this when required, if so how
5, what is the difference Between FMs and UserExits
Can anyone throw some light on this with an example,
Points for sure for Suitable answers
Thanks and Regards

Receiver Type Function Module in SWE2 use of export parameter.

i am trying to understand the underlying concept in following things:(neednot to say i have searched alot and read sap documentation already).
In event type linkage table say i have an entry for BOR -> AFVC_PM.
As per sap Documentation says all these FM will trigger in following way.
1 Check Function Module (to place any validations/checks)
2 Receiver Type Function Module ()
3 Receiver Function Module.
Thats fine.
This is what documentation says about Receiver Type FM(2nd FM) not Receiver FM(3rd FM).
This FM has 1 export paramter
Export parameters
RECTYPE type SWETYPECOU-RECTYPE Receiver type( Result of the evaluation by the receiver type function module.)
if i am understanding this right, in this FM receiver type will be decided .
i have placed BREAK-POINT in this FM and passing value WS90000024 (Workflow with simple mail step) in export parameter RECTYPE.
after everything executed successfully why i can't see that mail in my inbox.
Please correct me if i had misunderstood the concept .

ok,indeed i was missing this thing.
i got the mails in inbox.
but why i can't see this value WS90000024 of this workflow ()which is going to be triggered ) in parameter RECTYPE.(its empty).
it is empty after the receiver type function module execution is complete.
below is workflow template,

Calling r/3 function module from crm using rfc

Dear SDN Members,
I'm given a task to write a method on CRM side which sets the equipment status to "lost" in ABAON transaction on R/3 side. There is a function module on r/3 side which is RFC enabled and it will set the stuatus to LOST when we call that from CRM. This RFC fm is not available on CRM side, so I cannot used Pattern. I'm very new to abap and when i've gone through abap help I got the syntax which i've write with destination parameter. But I'm really not understanding how to pass Lost status to that fm.
Here-with I put the coding so far i've done on crm side and also the rfc fm coding aswell on r/3 side.
Should any one need for more info please do let me know to my yahoo ID:

RFC Function module's where used list

Dear Experts,
I have a situation where in I need to change certain parameters/ the logic of an RFC function module. but before making the changes to the function module I need to know where this function module is used in various systems. So can some one tell me a way to find the where used list of an RFC function module in the calling system.
Thanks
-Amit

It could be called from anywhere, theoretically, SAP or non-SAP environments.
I hope you can rely on good documentation in your organization to find the potential callers, as each call must have been consciously implemented at some point.
Also check with system administrators who might have a means to study trace logs for information on calling systems.
Thomas
P.S. the hard way would be to just do the change and see who complains later on

Which functional modules we can use to update the costs in WBS?

Hello friends,
I need to update the costs assigned to WBS elements at cost element level using TCode CJR2. Which function modules are available to do this?
Can you show me sample implementation for the same?
Thanks in advance,
Amol C.

You can't.
A UIImage object is a high-level way to display image data. You can create images from files, from Quartz image objects, or from raw image data you receive. The UIImage class also offers several options for drawing images to the current graphics context using different blend modes and opacity values.
Image objects are immutable, so you cannot change their properties after creation.

What is function module get previous date by enteing no of days

FM should take : 7 days

Hi,
Apart from function module, you can write as follows.
data : date1 type datum,
date2 type datum.
date1 = sy-datum.
date2 = date1 - 7 .
write date2.

What Function Module can be used to create vendor master data in SAP R/3?

Hello -
I've been trying to find a standard SAP delivered BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in ECC 6.0. Up to this point I have not been able to do so. With SAP MDM solutions and SRM solutions it seems logical that SAP would deliver a standard BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in the ERP/R3 environment (similar to the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA for creating material master data records).
I have been able to find BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE but this only calls the online transaction and does not offer much additional functionality beyond what transaction code XK02 already offers.
The next best alternative appears to be IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR but our preference would be to not use IDOCs for the project we are working on.
Can anyone offer any insight or personal experience on how vendor master records have been successfully interfaced with SAP R/3? Did you have to use IDOCs or create a custom RFC call? Thanks for the help!
Rich Wortmann
<< Personal information removed >>
Edited by: Rob Burbank on May 14, 2009 10:43 AM

Quite a gap in the BAPI arsenal. I think the options are IDoc, which you don't want, good old program RFBIKR00 (requires flat file for input, can be used via LSMW) or DIY (very complex).
