Mapping

[Former Member]

I am trying to map BAPI RETURN to output structure.. I have no problems when BAPI returns an error message..

If successfully processed, RETURN table is empty.. but I still need to update my output structure...

How do I handle this?

Hi SSG,

You can create a wrapper function (where u call ur BAPI)over this which can return a value as you will need at least something to be returned for the Interface to work.

Hi,

Check exists in node functions and I think that will solve your problem.

Hi,

Could you tell us how you solved this?

Did you use a wraper?

My RETURN structure was always sent as 'Output'. The problem was 'item' was not getting sent, when the BAPI was successful. I noticed that BAPI always returns only one error..

so I mapped my 'RETURN' node to my output structure (instead of item node) thereby limiting my output table to one row (positive/negative)..

Smitha, Is there a node function that checks for existence of node? If there is, we can probably implement your solution.. otherwise I think wrapper may be the only way.. I will keep the thread open for now..

Hi SSG,

this is possible using the node function IF EXISTS

Hi SSG,

Node function 'exists' gives you this functionality.

HI,

You can use node "exists" function for this. Write If logic , if node exists map it otherwise map with constant to the node.so that you will get the output structure any point.

Hi,

there is a node function "exists". I guess it can be done.

Hi guys,

Instead of a wrapper can't we solve this with a simple graphical mapping?

Check if the header corresponding to the return table is present, and if so, there was an error.

If there is no header, then we consider it to be successful, and the tags in the output structure can be mapped to constants. Right?

Hi,

Create RFC wrapper function to your BAPI, before returning the value check the table and if it is empty fill up the success value.

In most of the cases BAPI returns the success value, which BAPI you are using. Just for info -:)

Hi,

Make sure that you are exporting some values to BAPI so that it will come to XI and update your output strcture.
