BAPI Error

selvakumar_mohan — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:54:15 GMT

Hi All,

We have a BAPI error. Please read below

Custom BAPI returns a result to the SAP adapter with structure BAPIRETURN1. However the adaptor generates an error message saying that the structure contains a field called PARAMETER, for which the schema does not have a mapping. Structure BAPIRETURN1 does not have this field. There is a similar BAPI return structure called BAPIRET2 that does have this field, so (perhaps incorrectly) it seems that somehow the BAPIRETURN1 structure is converted to the BAPIRET2 structure. How and where that happens is not clear. We have checked the contents of the structure in SAP just before it finishes, and no additional fields are present.

Log from SAP Adapter:

Please help us out to find what is causing the error.

change the return parameter to tables, not export. That is going to be ur first try

Secondly. Also, u could use the return as table like this RETURN STRUCTURE BAPIRET2

We arent ready to do any mapping change, we require to retain the old. So we are unable to change the return to type BAPIRET2. So second option is not possible for us.

Hello Selva ,

 Please help us out to find what is causing the error  --> 

Someone changed your Custom BAPI return table types ,
so you need to amend changes at receiving side as well or 
change your custom BAPI return params .

Prabu,

U are true. But we are unable to change the structure to the new form in the other end as it needs a great deal of time to make it work. So any patching solution at the point where we are now would be of great help.

Thanks,

Selva
