Function Module working only in debug mode

[Former Member]

Hi all,

The following Function Module works only in debug mode. The purpose of this FM is to create a notification and to put it in progress status. If I put a breakpoint before "CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_PUTINPROGRESS'" it works. If I execute this FM without putting a breakpoint at that place it creates the notification but doesnt put it in progress status.

In other words, the last BAPI call doesnot work if I dont put a breakpoint before.

Can somebody help me to find out where is the problem?

Thanks,

Younes

Hi Emmanuel,

As BAPIs do not have a commit of their own you should trigger this commit your self. You do so for the first BAPI you call, but not after the second one.

In Debugging mode the commit work is triggered automatically!

Hi John,

I have tried your solution but It does not change anything. Maybe when we put a breakpoint before the call of BAPI_NOTIF_PUTINPROGRESS it gives enough time to the commit just before to be performed. If it's really the problem how can solve it?

Thank you anyway.

Hi Emmanuel,

Now I get your problem: you want to wait to have the commit finished! The call to BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT has an optional parameter 'WAIT' which is space by default which causes only a commit. When you set this parameter to 'X' it will do a commit work and wait.

This should solve your problem!

John.

Hi Emmanuel,

When entering debug mode the system performs a commit on database. If you have created the notification just before you want to set the status, the notification does not exist on the database unitl time of commit. You should use the function BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT before calling the function for updating status.

Hope this helps!

Add Statement SET UPDATE LOCAL at the beginning of the FM.
