Hi Bindu,

Use commit work statement after Fm call.

Hi Amol,

Hi Amol,

As i know commit and bapi_transaction_commit are not same...

bapi_transaction_commit will call a function module to refresh the buffer if previous bapi have any errors or not  ...with commit functinality

but commit_work does't have a concept of buffer...please go through the SDN once

Regards,

Bindu.

Hi,

Most Bapis require a separate commit/rollback so that an external application can have control over whether to save or discard the changes it has communicated to SAP. This means you can call several bapis then, if everything goes all right, commit else rollback. Hence the two (RFC) bapis for commit and rollback. If you are using one or more bapis in an ABAP program, you still need to commit or rollback. In this case, as said before, it is sufficient to use a simple ABAP commit statement.

Why not bapi_transaction_commit ?

[Former Member]

I agree with Kesavadas.  What is the problem you are trying solve?  Asking us for an alternative to bapi_transaction_commit is not too helpful.  Tell us why it is not working for you.

Hi BIndu,

We deal here with business scenarios and technical problems. Next time please do not ask an interview question. I am leaving the thread free.

I personally do not know of any other way to commit DB changes performed by a bapi (that does not do a commit of it's own) other than bapi_transaction_commit or just a plain old commit statement.  Maybe the right answer to this interview question is "there is no other way".

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Maybe they expected an answer like FM TRANSACTION_END with TRANSACTION_BEGIN ?

(Those FM belong to same FG than BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT)

Hi Bindu,

The only other option of enforcing update task to be executed (and that's what Bapis are using) is to use statement SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL. With this any commit (directly in code as COMMIT WORK or any statement that lead to losing work process like GUI operation, WAIT, end of report or other) will save changes that were made by Bapi in DB.
