Commit after BAPI function module

[Former Member]

Hi ABAP guru's,

I have a doubt that whether can we use directly COMMIT WORK statement after executing bapi function module or else we should only use "bapi_transaction_commit" instead of 'commit work' statement.

for example:

Call 'BAPI_REPMANCONF1_CREATE_MTS '

....

.....

if return-type<>E.

COMMIT WORK. ( OR ) "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMT'

• is there any exception for using 'commit work' statement directly.

ENDIF.

thanks&regards,

kumar

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT calls commit work internally.

if you give wait = 'X', it is equivalent to

COMMIT WORK and WAIT. so there s no difference

Hi Ravi,

You can use Commit Work as because , Bapi_transaction_commit uses the same internally

Hi,

Both are same..you can either call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT or use COMMIT WORK statement..

Inside the bapi_transaction_commit it uses the COMMIT WORK statement..

Hi

If the update to BUT000 is after the commit to the BAPI, you may have to do a separate commit for that later update unless an action or event occurs that causes an implicit database commit.

You may need to execute

COMMIT WORK.

or call function module DB_COMMIT.

Keep in mind that a database commit closes all open database cursors, which would affect an open select loops or OPEN CURSOR statements.

hi ravi,

Commit work is used when you code directly in ABAP and make changes in the database and

want to commit the database.

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT is used when you make changes to the SAP database by calling

a BAPI from outside SAP and want to commit the database. When you use a BAPI, you can not

directly use commit work, instead you are allowed to use only

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

i hope this clears your doubt.

Hi Mr:Kumar,

This BAPI have some additional advantage than simple <b>Commit Work</b>. They are listed below.

1. It will refresh the buffers.

2. It will excecute external commit.This method executes a COMMIT WORK command. It is required for transactions developed externally to the R/3 System that change data in the R/3 System via BAPI calls.

3.It will WAIT for some time before commit, provided you make import parameter WAIT as X

Hope this will clear your doubts

rewards if find useful!
