Hi All,
I am working on developing a message flow that interacts with SAP using BAPI's. The I/O structures that i need to pass to SAP are as given below:
Input:
| Code: |
<Request>
<CustomerID>1234</CustomerID>
<getMembership>Y</getMembership>
<getCustInfo>Y</getCustInfo>
</Request>
|
Output:
| Code: |
<Response>
<Membership>
<MembershipID>10000000001</MembershipID>
<Country>GB</Country>
</Membership>
<Customer>
<FirstName>Test1</FirstName>
<LastName>Test2</LastName>
<DOB>10042010</DOB>
</Customer>
</Response>
|
I would like to use the SAPRequest node to interact with SAP. I have done the following:
a. Defined a BAPI with Import parameters as CustomerID, getMembership, getCustInfo.
However, following are the issues i face:
1. If i define the export parameters as MembershipID and Country, then when importing the BAPI definition, the Membership container is not present. Is there any way i can get the Membership element (without defining the complete structure as a table)?
2. When i import the BAPI definition, adapter node automatically prefixes it with sap. Is there any way i can remove the "sap" prefix from it?
3. I am not receiving the <Response> element in the BAPI. I.e. I would not be able to receive "repeating" structures of <Response> from the BAPI unless i define it as a table?
I understand that these questions are probably very specific to the BAPI definition, but just wondering if these are all the limitations imposed by BAPI or if its the adapter node?
Your inputs are highly appreciated..
Thanks,
Qadeer |

Obviously you do not understand the SAP part of the BAPI and how it gets invoked through the JCO Adapter. Talk to your SAP Team with these questions.
Also make sure you evaluate the BAPIRETURN structure.
Have fun

Hi All,
I have discussed with the SAP team and as i understand, the standard BAPI's do not use CDT (Complex Data Types). They instead use Tables for sending the information.
However, the issue is that the XML structure generated by the SAPRequest node for a repeating element does not have a root element.
ie. A response from SAP for Addresses and Contacts of a customer, the structure would be:
| Code: |
<root>
<Addresses>
<Address>
<Line1>1212</Line1>
<Line2>1212</Line2>
.....other fields
</Address>
<Address>
<Line1>1212</Line1>
<Line2>1212</Line2>
.....other fields
</Address>
<Address>
<Line1>1212</Line1>
<Line2>1212</Line2>
.....other fields
</Address>
</Addresses>
<Contacts>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
</Contacts>
</root>
|
However, the adapter creates the message set as per the structure below:
| Code: |
<root>
<!-- The Addresses element is mising.. -->
<Address>
<Line1>1212</Line1>
<Line2>1212</Line2>
.....other fields
</Address>
<Address>
<Line1>1212</Line1>
<Line2>1212</Line2>
.....other fields
</Address>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
<Contact>
<ID>1</ID>
<Value>8728322873</Value>
<Type>H</Type>
</Contact>
</root>
|
Is this the expected behaviour of the Adapter? How would repeating elements be handled? Please provide your inputs on this.
Thanks,
Qadeer |
