BAPI Meta-data calls

[Former Member]

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 <i>BAPI Explorer</i> (transaction BAPI) you can also search the <i>Business Object Repository</i> (BOR; transaction <b>SWO1</b>).

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

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 <b>SWO </b>(Business Object Repository Tools):

- TOJTB (<i>Business object repository: Basic data</i>)

- <b>SWOTLV </b>(<i>Runtime Table Verbs</i>)

For example (SWOTLV):

- LOBJTYPE = BUS3032

- VERB = GETLIST

VERBTYPE = M

-> ABAPTYPE F " (Function Module)

-> ABAPNAME BAPI_ASSORTMENTLIST_GETHEAD
