Hi,

BAPI will allows background processing (use in job scheduling)

Call transaction and call session method will allows only forground processing. so you can't schedule the jobs(SM36) for job uploading.

Hi prasad,

coming to the main advantage of bapi,we can call bapis from any where in oops languagesi.e either in .net,java,abap....

whereas with call transaction and session they will b used only within sap.

Hi Prasad,

From a programmer point of view, they are very easy to use when compared to BDCs. In general, they are useful to be called from external systems(non sap systems also).
