Booking events via RFC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I use HRIQ_STUDENT_BOOKING trying to book events as my data transfer effort. When I check the definitions of this RFC through SE37, I see that only Student ID is required. Then, logically, I fill IT_MODULETAB and IT_EVENTTAB tables with relevant data - academic year, period, credits, module id, event id. However, after running the function, only the module is booked for the student but not the actual event attached to it.

Do I miss something? What should I specify so that events would be also booked?

One random idea - maybe I don't quite get what are the required fields for the IT_EVENTTAB table. It lists the following fields:

ID - which I leave empty

SM_OBJID - I specify Module ID

OTYPE - I specify 'E' for the 'course'; also tried to leave it empty.

OBJID - I specify Event ID

REVERSE - I leave it empty.

Another random idea - knowing an RFC that gets the list of booked events for a student would also be helpful.

Thanks.

Hi,

first a general tip: Sometimes you can explore the use of functions if you search how they are used within the standard code, e. g. look where the function (or the core function module of an RFC) is used, set a breakpoint and look at the values in the interface. Of course this is just a try & error approach.

From your threat I could not really see what may not work. Let me describe an example of how the call of HRIQ_STUDENT_BOOKING should work:

iv_objid = Student Object ID

is_mrcontext has to filled with the object ID of the program or the key of the progam type plus the academic year and session key - the booking context is important to maintain the usage information, e. g. whether a course is used for a particular program type

iv_dialog = 'B' (Background)

On your other question: On function to retrieve the booked events (and timetable) is HRIQ_RFC_GET_TIMETABLES? HRIQ_AW_ACWORK_GET_RFC gives you generally the complete set of academic work in all status and HRIQ_RFC_STUDENT_MODREG_GET returns the list of registered modules.

I hope that helps somehow.

Thanks, Joachim. This was indeed helpful.

My own research distilled the following required fields for HRIQ_STUDENT_BOOKING to book events:

<b>Import parameters:</b>

• IV_OBJID // StudentID

<b>Tables:</b>

IT_MODULETAB:

• SM_OBJID // Module ID

• CPATTEMP // # of credits

• CPUNIT // Credit unit ID. "001" was the underlying code for CRH in our case.

• PERYR // Booking year ID

• PERID // Booking session ID

IT_EVENTTAB:

• SM_OBJID // Module ID

• OTYPE // 'E' to represent events

• OBJID // Event ID

The crucial part is to specify object type as 'E'. If this bit is missing, only the module is booked.

Janek.
