Hi,

You can use interfaces to access functions of the database system using different programming languages and applications. Using interfaces you can, for example, program additional functions or connect applications to a MaxDB database instance.

Hai Jayasree,

Interfaces are needed when we need data from other than SAP envoronment and vise versa.

Suppose aclient may send his business data through Excel sheet which are to be loaded in his SAP Tables.Then we need to use interfaces.

There are two Categogies.

1.From Presentation Layer to your ABAP Program(and then into Database table)

Presentation layer means from your sytem (from C, drives)

2.From application Server to your ABAP Program(and then into Database table)

Application Server means the server for your Sap System.

For the first case you need to use:From Presentation Layer to your ABAP Program and vise versa)

GUI_UPLOAD to upload data,

GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data

For the Second case(From application Server to your ABAP Program and vise versa)

A.OPEN DATA SET FILE NAME ON APPL.SERVER FOR INPUT ENCODING BY DEFAULT. use tranfer command to send data to application server

B. CLOSE DATA SET.

Now I Hope you got idead for what is the need for interfaces,Types,uses,when to use,ets.
