BAPI is missing. How to get a BAPI in BOR?

Hi,

in my SAP BW 3.1 exits a BAPI names MDDataSetBW. I want to use this BAPI in a ABAP-Programm, which is exists on a R/3 Enterprise. Using CALL FUNCTION ' BAPI_<..>_<..> don´t work. Wenn im browsing through the BAPI-Explorer (TSC: BAPI) at R/3, i can´t found the BAPI. Browsing at SAP BW, BAPI exists.

RFC connection through both systems is established, sm59 gives okay. Extracting Data from R/3 through DataSources and store them at the Data Warehouse also work. The systems know each other.

Testing on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 AS the BAPI-Explorer and the BAPI exists, not not in R/3 Enterprise. Patchlevel is up to date. ALE ist enabled.

Im running out of ideas. Anybody a idea, how kann i get access to the BAPI? whats wrong?

Thanks for every answers.

René

try using this syntax.

call function 'bapi....' destination 'destination name'.

this destination name is which u have in SM59. RFC destination.

ur BW server must be opened.

The bapi is part of a software component.

BW has other software components then R3.

So the bapi simply doesn't exist on the R3 application....

Hi,

i try "CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MDDATASET_CREATE_OBJECT' destination 'BW0_100'." and it works. checking with debugger shows me, that the surce code of the BAPI is running. such a simple error.

Thank you!
