BAPI Meta-data calls

Former Member — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:00:37 GMT

Hi,

I would like to do the following from an RFC Client application: -

1) For a given RFC call, extract the meta-data relating to import and export tables and parameters and also the underlying structures

2) For a given business object call (e.g. ManufactOrderAPS.GetList2 how can you find out the correct underlying RFC to call?

Any help or hints would be appreciated.

Thanks ,

Chris.

This information seems to be used by the Bapi Browser for example (the transaction code for this tool is BAPI)

Hello Chris

In addition to the BAPI Explorer (transaction BAPI) you can also search the Business Object Repository (BOR; transaction SWO1).

Function module parameters are stored in table FUPARAREF. An RFC-enabled function module reading this table is /SDF/GEN_FUNCS_FUNC_INFO_GET.

Regards

Uwe

Thanks very much Uwe.

Would you also happen to know the table and RFC which gives the relation ship between Business Object + Method = RFC?

Many thanks

Hello Chris

You will find all relevant tables in package SWO (Business Object Repository Tools):

- TOJTB (Business object repository: Basic data)

- SWOTLV (Runtime Table Verbs)

For example (SWOTLV):

- LOBJTYPE = BUS3032

- VERB = GETLIST

VERBTYPE = M

-> ABAPTYPE F " (Function Module)

-> ABAPNAME BAPI_ASSORTMENTLIST_GETHEAD
