Question Re: Update Custom CBO from BADI in Enterprise Resource Planning Q&A

Update Custom CBO from BADI

pavanm26 — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 11:55:10 GMT

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to update CBO based on the change in the supervising MD. We have the roles available in the Badi - Custom Checks on Project Save.

Can you please let us know if we can use this BADI to update the changes in supervising MD in CBO's. As per my understanding, we cannot use any update statements and have to use API's to update CBO's from BADI's. Please let us know the process to update the CBO's(SAP help document ) and will there be any issue in following this process.

Thanks & Regards

Pavan M

Hello

I dont think IF_CBO_WRITE is enabled on this custom logic. I think you can call the CBO via HTTPS as documented here: https://help.sap.com/viewer/0f69f8fb28ac4bf48d2b57b9637e81fa/2011.500/en-US/a8036fc167d74f4f8e13b022cf349bbf.html

Thanks,

Marty

Hi Marty,

the code provided in the help is working in when used in the CBO but while using in BADI it is giving error as there are write or update operations.

thanks & regards

Hi Pavan

I would need to set this up in a sandbox and test myself. You created Communication Arrangement based on your Custom Comm Scenario is that correct? Do you mind sharing your sample code?

Thanks,

Marty

Hi Pavan

I just tested this myself with very simplistic code and it worked. Can you confirm that you set up Communication Scenario with outbound service YY1_SERLPROJROLES configured along with associated comm arrangement where the outbound user is the comm user that is associated to the CBO comm scenario?

Here is the code I used (in my case my CS was called YY1_LOGICTEST and my outbound service YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS_REST)

* Check if outbound service exists in the communication scenario

* Replace the values for communication_scenario and outbound_service as required.

CHECK cl_ble_http_client=>is_service_available(

communication_scenario = 'YY1_LOGICTEST'

outbound_service = 'YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS_REST'

) = abap_true.

* Creation of the HTTP client to access the outbound service

* Replace the values for communication_scenario and outbound_service as required.

DATA(lo_client) = cl_ble_http_client=>create(

communication_scenario = 'YY1_LOGICTEST'

outbound_service = 'YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS_REST'

* we get the csrf token to be able to make the POST call later

DATA(request) = cl_ble_http_request=>create( ).

DATA lv_s2 TYPE string VALUE '/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO?$top=1'.

request->set_header_parameter( exporting name = 'X-CSRF-TOKEN' value = 'FETCH' ).

request->set_method( 'GET' )->set_resource_extension( lv_s2 ).

TRY .

DATA(response) = lo_client->send( request ).

DATA(lv_csrf) = response->get_header_parameter( 'x-csrf-token' ).

CATCH cx_ble_http_exception INTO DATA(l5).

ENDTRY.

DATA: lv_payload TYPE string VALUE '{ "BPID": "98765", "CustomField1": "test1" }'.

DATA(request1) = cl_ble_http_request=>create( ).

DATA lv_s1 TYPE string VALUE '/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO'.

request1->set_header_parameter( exporting name = 'x-csrf-token' value = lv_csrf ).

request1->set_content_type( 'application/json' ).

request1->set_method( 'POST' )->set_resource_extension( lv_s1 ).

request1->set_body( lv_payload ).

TRY .

DATA(response1) = lo_client->send( request1 ).

CATCH cx_ble_http_exception INTO DATA(lx1).

ENDTRY.

Thanks,

Marty

Hi Marty,

Thank you for your reply.

the following are the details:

CBO structure

EngagementProject(Project_ID) | Role(Project_Role) | SupervisignMDOldBP(Business_Partner_ID) | SupervisingMDnewBP(NewSupervisorMD)

When there is a change in the supervising MD in the customer project, the change is captured in the Custom checks on Project Save and the above CBO is to be updated with the old value and new value.

The Communication Arrangement created is Outbound Rest service without any userid or password.

The following is the code in the user exit

CHECK cl_ble_http_client=>is_service_available(

communication_scenario = 'YY1_SERLPROJROLES'

outbound_service = 'YY1_SERLPROJROLES_REST'

) = abap_true.

*Creating Communication Scenario

communication_scenario = 'YY1_SERLPROJROLES'

outbound_service = 'YY1_SERLPROJROLES_REST'

concatenate 'Client creation succesful' abap_true into data(lv_text6) separated by space.

APPEND VALUE #( messagetype = 'E' messagetext = lv_text6 ) TO ct_messages.

concatenate 'Request creation succesful' abap_true into data(lv_text7) separated by space.

APPEND VALUE #( messagetype = 'E' messagetext = lv_text7 ) TO ct_messages.

* fetch x-csrf-token

DATA lv_s2 TYPE string VALUE '/YY1_SERLPROJROLES?$top=1'.

request->set_header_parameter( EXPORTING name = 'X-CSRF-TOKEN' value = 'FETCH' ).

request->set_header_parameter( EXPORTING name = 'Accept' value = 'application/json' ).

Hi Marty,

Thanks for the quick reply.

we have tried the code but we are not getting the value in lv_csrf. in the below statement.

DATA(lv_csrf) = response->get_header_parameter( 'x-csrf-token' ).

I have attached screenshots of the communication scenario and communication arrangement that we have created.

can you please check if the setting in the communication scenario is causing the issue?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Pavan

I believe the issue is in how you are calling the CBO. You need the CBO name along with the entity:

DATA lv_s2 TYPE string VALUE '/YY1_SERLPROJROLES?$top=1'.

versus mine:

DATA lv_s2 TYPE string VALUE '/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO_CDS/YY1_EMPLOYEEINFO?$top=1'.

Thanks,

Marty

Thank you, Marty. It's working fine now. The issue was with the communication scenario setup as you have indicated in the earlier post.

Hello pavan_km , hello marty.mccormick

I'm facing the same topic right now.

can you tell me how I need to configure the URL path in the communication scenario?

I created a custom BO with two levels ("YY1_LEVEL1" and an association "YY1_LEVEL2")

I just want to create the level 1 first.

Thank you and best regards
Kevin

Hello,

Did you solve it?
I have followed the same steps as you, but i'm getting:

Exception CX_BLE_HTTP_EXCEPTION occurred in CL_BLE_HTTP_CLIENT

Outbound call failed with status code 403, reason: Unified Connectivity: Forbidden. [BLE_RUNTIME_SUPPORT(010)]

Can you help me?

Hi @MartyMcCormick - This code gives forbidden error when we use it custom logic implementation. can you let us know if we can disable the error.

Hi @MartyMcCormick ,

This code had been running perfectly in our SAP Marketing Cloud tenant for a couple of years, but it suddenly stopped working last week. During a debugging session with SAP experts, we found that it consistently fails when attempting to fetch the x-csrf-token.

Have you observed the same issue on your side?

Hemanth255 — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 12:08:35 GMT

Hi Experts, We are facing an issue while integrating a Custom Business Object (CBO) with an outbound service via BADI implementation. The same GET and POST requests work successfully in Postman, returning status code 200 OK and updating data as expected. However, when executed via BADI, although the status code is 200, the x-csrf-token is not being fetched during the GET request, and the POST request does not update the data. We have followed the recommended logic and setup for outbound service in CBO. We have two specific questions: Is it mandatory to pass Authorization headers (e.g., Basic Auth or OAuth) in BADI calls? Why is the x-csrf-token not being returned in the GET response via BADI, even though it works in Postman? Any guidance or suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
