Asynchronous BAPI Call to Custom Transaction

Former Member — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 22:17:13 GMT

Hi,

Would anyone know if it is possible to create an async BAPI to run a custom transaaction? I would like to be able to start up a custom report by submitting into a batch queue after receiving a request. This would be a generic BAPI where I can request for any custom report as long as the correct parameters are passed.

Debbie,

If you are planning to call this BAPI (a Reports is embedded ) remotely, it will NOT be possible, as you cannot have write statements inside a remote RFC.

Can you explain in detail, what are you trying to do?

Ravi

Debbie,

1.) Define the function module as RFC (Attribute->Remote Enabled")

2.) Use the following syntax

CALL FUNCTION <Fn Name>

IN BACKGROUND TASK

AS SEPARATE UNIT

Importing.......

Exporting.......

3.) This is multi-threading and inside the Function Module you can SUBMIT a report which will have the WRITE STATEMENTs or COMMITs.

I used this technique for various User Exits & Spl Functions in NACT.

Thanks,

Bala

Hi Ravi,

This would be a custom BAPI which then calls a custom report. I would like to be able to create a custom generic BAPI to pass the custom transaction code and relevant parameters. Within the BAPI, I would do a call transaction to the custom report. Would this be feasible?

Debbie

HI CHan,

Your approach is almost correct except for the change that a report cannot be called using a call transaction.Instead you have to "submit" the report.

Use the submit report statement to do the same.

Hi Bala,

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it out.

Would you have a sample of using this technique?
