Calling BAPI after successful file creation

[Former Member]

Hi,

my requiremetn is to use XI to post a file on SAP - if the file is posted successfully then to call a BAPI (which reads the file data).

How do i check that the file has been posted correctly and the trigger the BAPI- what is the best solutin, to use BPM or inbound proxy or some other method?

Can you please provide some details .

Thanks in advance

when u post a file on sap then u wud ggo for proxy method ...i hope so. in that case have the bapi implemented inside the inbound method itself. if u r using dataset to post the data to appl server in sap then after this u can use the bapi

Hi Prabhu,

thanks for the answer- but i was wondering that wudnt error handling be a bit messy ?

for example, say the files are posted correctly but for some reason the BPI fails - will the message end with error ?

if so on retrying the message again a duplicate set of files might be posted..isnt that so

How to handle this...and basically separate the BPI and file creation

thanks

if the bapi goes for an error the interface will not hinder. becoz u had read the file tp appl server before calling bapi and after that the bapi is called. if an error occurs u can cathc that exception and handle it...may u can create alert also. error processing and handling is easy here
