SAP Connection Failure

Former Member — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 14:41:37 GMT

Not sure where this question belongs, so I've posted it a couple of places.

I have an EXCEL spreadsheet which runs a VBA routine calling BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.

With a very small set of data, 10 rows or so, everything works fine. The BAPI runs and I can commit the results.

With a larger set of data, about 400 rows, the BAPI call still works. However, immediately after the BAPI call, I call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT. At that point I get an error telling me that "NO SAP CONNECTION AVAILABLE".

Why am I losing my SAP connection? This process only runs approx 15 seconds?

I think in your VBA code the disconnection code is getting triggered. Can you run in debug mode .(F5).

Here while debugging you can able to know where exactly it is getting disconnected.

Following is the code I am running. I run in debug and the connection drops where indicated below. But I don't know why.

Private Sub PROCESS_BTN_Click()

Dim return_tbl As Object

Dim sap_call As Object

Dim sap_prog As Object

Dim sap_commit As Object

Dim goods_mvt_tbl As Object

Dim goods_hdr As Object

Dim goods_code As Object

Dim testrun As Object

Dim errmsg As String

Dim r

Dim p

Dim po_hdr_arr(1, 15)

Set sap_call = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")

Set sap_prog = sap_call.Add("BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE")

Set sap_commit = sap_call.Add("BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT")

Set good_mvt_tbl = sap_prog.tables("GOODSMVT_ITEM")

Set goods_hdr = sap_prog.exports("GOODSMVT_HEADER")

Set goods_code = sap_prog.exports("GOODSMVT_CODE")

Set testrun = sap_prog.exports("TESTRUN")

Set return_tbl = sap_prog.tables("RETURN")

p = 1

goods_hdr.Value(1) = "08/14/2006"

goods_hdr.Value(2) = "08/15/2006"

goods_code.Value(1) = "05"

If Range("H2").Value = "Y" Then

testrun = "X"

Else

testrun = ""

End If

Range("A2").Select

r = 0

Do While ActiveCell.Offset(r, 0).Value <> ""

p = r + 1

good_mvt_tbl.appendrow

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("MATERIAL").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 0)

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("PLANT").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 1)

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("STGE_LOC").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 2)

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("BATCH").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 3)

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("MOVE_TYPE").Value(p) = "561"

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("ENTRY_UOM").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 4)

good_mvt_tbl.Columns("ENTRY_QNT").Value(p) = ActiveCell.Offset(r, 5)

r = r + 1

Loop

sap_prog.call <== FIRST CALL IS HERE

If return_tbl.rowcount > 0 Then

For i = 1 To return_tbl.rowcount

r = return_tbl.Columns("ROW").Value(i)

errmsg = return_tbl.Columns("TYPE").Value(i) & "-" & return_tbl.Columns("MESSAGE").Value(i)

ActiveCell.Offset(r - 1, 6).Value = ActiveCell.Offset(r - 1, 6).Value & vbCrLf & errmsg

Next i

End If

If sap_commit.call = True Then <=== DISCONNECTED HERE

Range("I2").Value = "DONE"

End If

End Sub

Hi.

I've seen your post and I am having a problem with BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETDETAIL instead of yours.

This BAPI returns a table with items and I can show them with this code:

for n := 1 to it_items:RowCount

cText += it_items:Cell(n, 1) + ", " + it_items:Cell(n, 2) + ", " + it_items:Cell(n, 3) + ", " + it_items:Cell(n, 4) + ", " + it_items:Cell(n, 5)

The BAPI returns (EXPORTS)also the header of the document, but I can't use RowCount or Cell(n, n). If I use them, the program exits.

Do you know how to show the content of the structure GOODSMVT_HEADER of the BAPI? Is not a table.

Thanks.
