BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've to create a notification with reference to an order from transaction IW42. I'm using the BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE, BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

This works perfectly fine if I dont pass an 'ORDERID' in BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE. But when I pass ORDERID, the new notification number is created but its not saved to table QMEL.

Pls help if anyone has encountered this problem. Is there any alternative way of creating a Notification? BDC also doesnt work here.

thanks in advance

Cheers

Hello,

It appears to be a data refresh issue. When calling multiple instances of the BAPI ensure that the following points are observed.
- call each BAPI additionally with DESTINATION 'NONE'
- call after each BAPI function module 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' with
  DESTINATION 'NONE' and EXPORT-Parameter WAIT = 'X'
- Call function 'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE' to refresh LUW

Example:

  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE'
       DESTINATION 'NONE'
          EXPORTING
    .....

    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
    DESTINATION 'NONE'
         EXPORTING
            WAIT          = 'X'.

    CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE'
         EXPORTING
            DESTINATION                = 'NONE'
         EXCEPTIONS
            DESTINATION_NOT_OPEN       = 1
            OTHERS                     = 2 .

Also see SAP note 770626 for more details on this process and an example (with different BAPI).
