Limitations of using BAPIs in XI

[former_member187437]

Hi all,

Can someone please explain what are the limitaions of using BAPIs in XI. what I have understood is, explicit commit BAPIs cannot be used since xi doesnt support session handling. But this can be overcome by using a wrapper function.

But when to use synchronus and asynchronous bapis. What are the pros and cons of using synchronous BAPIs and asynchronous BAPIs.

Hi Aarthi,

Xi provides the facility to Commit BAPI's,

Go to the receiver RFC adapter, check "Advanced mode" there, it will Commit the BAPI by executing "BAPI_TRANSITION_COMMIT" after your bapi.

@Vikas you send the link of JMS in place of RFC..

Not to worry ..

Aarthi,

Fully agreed with vikas...<b>using RFC adapter in advance mode you can do auto commit..</b>

--->But when to use synchronus and asynchronous bapis. What are the pros and cons of using synchronous BAPIs and asynchronous BAPIs

<b>BAPI's are usually FM with import and export parameters..it's up to you whether you want to use the export parameter or not..If not you can simply call the BAPI with in a proxy..

If not call directly through RFC adapter..</b>

Feel free to clarify any doubts..

Hi Aarthi,

We can commit the BAPI's by using the advance mode in RFC adapter...

Check this link-> Advance mode

Hi Aarthi.

We use BAPIs mostly in a Synchronous scenario where you expect a response back from the R3 system to the data you sent. Just like Sending some PO data to R3 and you need the SO number back once the SO is created.

For an Async. Scenario, the most preferrable one is IDOC.

BAPI Function will not allow Comiit work so we use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
