BAPI Function documentation Programming Dialog Applications
2008-01-16 02:32:30
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 ...

Function-Oriented Access to BAPIs
2008-01-16 02:31:48
Purpose You can access BAPIs from platforms that do not provide direct object-oriented access to SAP business objects by making Remote Function Calls (RFCs) to the function module underlying the BAPI. This approach can be used on all development platforms supporting the RFC protocol, for example, ABAP or external platforms using C/C++ Class Library. Process Flow During runtime your application program uses the RFC Library or the C/C++ Class Library to make an RFC call to the function module underlying the BAPI. The Library translates client calls into communication steps in accordance with the RFC protocol and the client requests are forwarded to the relevant function module in the R/3 server system. This is how client requests are forwarded to the relevant function module in the SAP server system.This approach is illustrated in the graphic below. Accessing a BAPI Function Module Through RFC Calls For further information about RFC calls to function modules see Remote Communicatio ...

Programming with BAPIs
2008-01-10 03:13:05
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 ...

Business Object Repository
2008-01-10 03:12:26
Definition All SAP business object types, SAP interface types, and their methods are defined and described in the Business Object Repository (BOR). The Business Object Repository was introduced in R/3 Release 3.0, at the same as time as SAP business objects and SAP Business Workflow. At first, the BOR was mainly used by SAP Business Workflow. Use With the introduction of BAPIs in R/3 Release 3.1, the BOR assumed an important new role - it is now the central access point for external applications to access SAP business object types, SAP interface types and their BAPIs. The BOR has two essential functions:It defines and describes SAP business objects and SAP interface types and their BAPIs. If you are developing an application program, you retrieve details of the SAP business object types or SAP interface types, their key fields and their BAPI methods from the BOR. The BOR contains all the information you need to integrate the correct object type definitions and BAPI calls into your a ...

BAPIs of SAP Interface Types
2008-01-10 03:11:55
Use As of Release 4.5A, BAPIs can also describe interfaces that are implemented externally (not in an SAP System), and that can be called in external systems by an SAP System. These BAPIs are known as BAPIs used for outbound processing. The target system is determined for the BAPI call in the distribution model of Application Link Enabling (ALE). BAPIs used for outbound processing are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as API methods of SAP interface types. In contrast to BAPIs of SAP business object types, the BAPIs in an SAP System are not implemented as function modules.Functions that are implemented externally can be standardized and made available as BAPIs. With the exception of the above mentioned points, the information in the BAPI User Guide and the BAPI Programming Guide refers to the BAPIs of both SAP interface types and SAP business object types. If this is not the case, the documentation will explain what the differences are. ...

Characteristics of BAPIs
2008-01-10 03:11:27
Use This section tells you what you should know about BAPIs before you start integrating BAPI calls into your application programs. Naming Conventions BAPIs are identified by the name of the business object type followed by the name of the BAPI. (BAPI names are in English and describe what the BAPI does to the business object). A period separates the two parts of the name. For example, the full name of the BAPI CheckAvailability() of the business object Material is Material.CheckAvailability(). Standardized BAPIs and Parameters There are some standardized BAPIs that can be implemented for most business object types. These BAPIs have specific functions, for example, the BAPI GetList(), retrieves a list of the instances of a business object type. These BAPIs are implemented according to specified rules and have the same name for all business objects. The BAPI GetList() can be used for many business objects, for example, CompanyCode.GetList() and Material.GetList(). For information ab ...

Advantages of BAPIs
2008-01-10 03:10:58
Use The section below outlines some of the benefits of using BAPIs to access SAP business objects. Business Standard SAP business object types and their BAPIs are the standard for the business contents in the SAP Systems. They enable business functions in the SAP Systems to be integrated with business functions in non-SAP software. Conforming to Standards The development of BAPIs is a part of a shared initiative between SAP, customers, partners and leading standards organizations. BAPIs have become a communication standard between business systems. SAP business object types and their BAPIs can be accessed through object-oriented interface technologies, such as Microsoft COM/DCOM (Component Object Model/Distributed Component Object Model). SAP business objects conform to the specifications laid down by the Open Applications Group (OAG) and, in cooperation with ObjectBridge from VisualEdge, meet the CORBA guidelines (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) established by the Objec ...

Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI)
2008-01-10 03:10:19
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 ...

SAP Business Objects

Definition Business object technology and programming are based on the concept of business objects. Real objects, such as an employee or a sales order, can be represented as business objects in business application systems, such as the SAP Systems.SAP business objects encapsulate SAP data and business processes while hiding the structure and implementation details of the underlying data. Structure To achieve this encapsulation, SAP business objects are created as entities with several layers.At the core of an SAP business object is the kernel, which represents the object's inherent data.The second layer, the integrity layer, represents the business logic of the object. It comprises the business rules for consistent embedding in the environment and the constraints regarding the values and domains that apply to the business object. The third layer, the interface layer, describes the implementation and structure of the SAP business object, and defines the object's interface to the outs ...

Use It is becoming increasingly important that SAP software components can interact and integrate with the software components of other vendors. SAP business objects are a prerequisite for the interoperability of software components. They cover a wide spectrum of business data and processes. SAP business objects are accessed through BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces), which are stable, standardized methods. SAP business objects and their BAPIs provide an object-oriented view of the business functions in an SAP System.SAP provided the first BAPIs for customers and external providers in R/3 Release 3.1, enabling them to integrate their software components in an SAP System. The number of BAPIs increases with each R/3 Release and with this the possibility of object-oriented access to an SAP System.This User Guide is an introduction to the technical concepts behind BAPIs.

BAPI Internal and External Data Formats
2008-01-10 03:06:40
Use BAPIs are not end user interfaces, they are programming interfaces that can be used in diverse application areas, for instance, to connect non-SAP systems and PC products to the R/3 System. To meet the requirements of this diverse range of applications, a common strategy for representing data in the BAPI interface must be used. General Guidelines Fields in BAPI parameters must be presented in the internal form used in the database and not in a form formatted in the BAPI interface. Reason : The internal format is used since the server cannot anticipate client-specific data.For example, the date in a BAPI must be in the format used internally, YYYYMMDD, where YYYY is the year, MM the month and DD the day. The graphic below shows the BAPI programming interface where data is transferred at the source code level and not at the application interface level. BAPI Programming Interface Exceptions There are exceptions where the calling program has to map and convert the data between t ...
