BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE / BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE from .Net through Webservices

[Former Member]

I am trying to change Employee Personal Data by calling BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE

from .Net through webservice created by using Function Module-> WebService Wizard.

Problem is that I get error "The employee/applicant is not locked yet".

I know that I must call the following three BAPI's :

BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE

BAPI_PERSDATA_CHANGE

BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE

The external call from .Net to BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE does not lock the record (as seen in SM12)

If I call BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE in SE37, it locks the record as seen in SM12.

In principle, what we need to do is exactly same as in following link, but without using IBM Websphere:

Can any one help how to lock Employee record by calling BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE fron .net environment ?

Hi MB,

please have a look at the whitepaper of Juergen and me regarding

Utilizing State Oriented Communication for Web Services Based on Business APIs (BAPI) with Microsoft...

Hi André,

Thanks for a very quick response. It did solve part of the problem. The record remains locked so that I am able to change the Personal Data. After that, when I call BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE in the same session, instead of removing the lock entries (as seen by SM12), it adds one more entry, and the employee remains locked. So question now is - how to successfully Dequeue it now ?

Here is a copy of entries after Enqueue, change, and Dequeue:

Thanks a lot...
