Use From R/3 Release 4.0 onwards, BAPIs can also be used in Application Link Enabling (ALE) to exchange and replicate data between two distributed systems. When data is transferred between distributed systems you decide between using synchronous and asynchronous BAPIs. Features Synchronous BAPIs Synchronous BAPIs are generally used to read data from a remote logical system, for example to display a customer list. Before calling the BAPI, it is therefore necessary to determine the RFC destination of the remote system or the BAPI server. The application developer has access to an API for determining the RFC destination of the BAPI. Asynchronous BAPIs Asynchronous BAPIs are generally used for replicating data on one or more logical systems, for example to distribute article master data.To implement an asynchronous data transfer with a BAPI, an ALE IDoc interface must be generated. This interface controls all of the data communication between logical systems using IDoc technology. Th
Use SAP provides various help functions in the form of service BAPIs to support the programming of dialog applications. Features In dialog applications you can use the following help functions: The service BAPIs can be found in the BOR component hierarchy under Basis Components ® Middleware. Transaction Control Each dialog transaction that uses BAPIs to change data in one or more objects must directly execute the COMMIT WORK command to save the data. The BAPI BapiService.TransactionCommit() is used for this and it writes the changes to the database. If data is not to be written to the database, the BAPI BapiService.TransactionRollback() can reset the changes, provided that the changes have not already been passed to the database with the BAPIBapiService.TransactionCommit(). This works provided that the BAPI BapiService.TransactionCommit has not already passed the changes to the database. Input Help (F4 Help) To display the poss
Use In this section it is assumed that the application you developed is to use the data stored as SAP business objects in an SAP System and that this data is to be accessed by calling BAPIs. Your application can be as simple or as complex as you like and can include calls for one or more BAPIs. Integration BAPIs are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as methods of SAP business object types or SAP interface types, and are implemented as function modules. The separation of a BAPI definition from its actual implementation enables you to access a BAPI in two ways:You can call the BAPI in the BOR through object-oriented method calls (see Object-Oriented Access to BAPIs). You can make RFC calls to the function modules on which the BAPI is based (see Function-Oriented Access to BAPIs). The two approaches are illustrated in the graphic below. Ways of Accessing BAPIs Features Applications that access BAPIs can be broadly divided into two categories:Dialog applications With d
Use The SAP business objects stored in the Business Object Repository (BOR) encapsulate their data and processes. External access to the data and processes is only possible by means of specific methods - BAPIs (Business Application Program Interfaces). A BAPI is defined as a method of an SAP Business Object Type or of an SAP Interface Type. The functions that are implemented in the SAP business CostCenter object type include, for example, listing all the available cost centers. The business object type CostCenter provides the BAPI GetList() for this purpose. The BAPIs in the SAP Systems are currently implemented as function modules, which are created and managed in the Function Builder. Each function module underlying a BAPI:Supports the Remote Function Call (RFC) protocol Has been assigned as a method to a SAP business object type in the Business Object Repository Is processed without returning any screen dialogs to the calling application Integration The graphic below shows th

The BBC has put 400 hours of video for people in England to download for the BBC Iplayer. The problem for everyone else, is that it really is only for people in the UK, while the rest of the world can just stand by and pray that some of it will be shown in other countries.
The service, launched Friday, will give viewers a choice from 70 per cent of the British broadcaster’s output, including popular programs such as EastEnders and Doctor Who. Programs from the previous week will be made available.
“Our vision is for BBC iPlayer to become a universal service available not just over the internet, but also on cable and other TV platforms, and eventually on mobiles and smart hand-held devices,” said the BBC’s Ashley Highfield, director of future media and technology. Source: CBC
