Generic Extraction using BAPI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a BAPI function module in the APO system and i need to extract the data using this bapi to bw. When i am trying to create a generic extractor based on this bapi it is saying that TABLES-Parameter E_T_DATA for extractor BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is missing. As this is a standard BAPI in the source system and I cannot have a structure to add to this function module, please help me in creating the data source.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Vijay,

I suppose you tried to place the name BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 directly in the RSO2 as function module. Consequently you get the above error-message, because using a function module as an extractor requires a tables-parameter named E_T_DATA. This internal table always contains the extracted data.

Solution : write a function module of your own [with e_t_data], which simply calls the BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2.

Best Regards,

Ernst
