SAP xMII Templates

[Former Member]

Just started using the xMII - SAP connection templates that are posted in the manufacturing section of <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads</a>. BTW, thanks to all the folks who developed them.

I am finding that the parameters required to run a BAPI via the JCO don't necessarily match those required in SAP.

For example:

The EquipmentList Business Logic transaction in the PM section.

I've found that in xMII, I need to enter an equipment number and wildcard all the possible query fields (specifically the LOW parameters) or I just get a message stating that "No entries were found for the selection conditions".

When running the BAPI In SAP, just entering the equipment number is sufficient to return data.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Andrew,

Glad to hear that you are getting good use out of them, we worked very hard on them to ensure their success.

Just an FYI on how the JCO call actually works, if you look at the response XML from the JCO call you will notice that there are additional values that you did not set via BLS that were passed as inputs into the JCO call. These values are default values that are used and are set in the underlying ABAP. Hope this helps to explain the difference in operation.

Your Welcome! ;*)

Keep in mind, those templates were developed against an ERP 2004 system. I don't know if this is why you are seeing the differences. Or, perhaps, ERP does some magic if running the BAPIs while in ERP? I can't speak to that.
