following</P><P></P><P>In ABAP context , interfaces are only of two types.</P><P>1) INBOUND interfaces</P><P>2)OUTBOUND Interfaces.</P><P></P><P>INBOUND:(from external system data is fetched as flat files which is moved to SAP database tables).</P><P></P><P>in this process we get data in the form of flat files(.txt or .xlx). we will read this data from the files using FM like UPLOAD/WS_UPLOAD/GUI_UPLOAD into internal</P><P>tables. And using BDC methods or LSMW tool, we will update the database tables with this data.</P><P></P><P>OUTBOUND:(Data from SAP dtabase is retrieved adn stored as flatfiles on presentaion server or application server)</P><P></P><P>In this process we retrieve data using select statements from the database tables and will populate the internal tables. based on the requirement, we will use FM like DOWNLOAD/WS_DOWNLAOD/GUI_DOWNLOAD to write data from internal tables to flat files on th presentation server.</P><P></P><P>*the above mentioned Fm will work for files on presentaion server(local file system) .
