Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs)

Scope of Functions

BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are open, business-oriented programming interfaces that can be used by external systems to access business processes and data in the R/3 System.

BAPIs are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as methods of SAP business object types or of SAP interface types. BAPIs enable an object-oriented view of the R/3 business components (application components).

You can find more information on BAPI interface technology refer to the BAPI Programming Guide and the BAPI User Guide in the R/3 Library under:

CA - Cross-Application Components

- Business Framework Architecture

- BAPI Technology

In Release 4.6A new developments are:

• BAPI Explorer
  The BAPI development environment has been enhanced with the BAPI Explorer - the integrated programming environment for developing BAPIs and using BAPIs in your developments.
  

Application developers can use the BAPI Explorer to find out which BAPIs are available for use. You can display the BAPIs either in alphabetical order or by the associated object type or interface type in the BOR component hierarchy. The BAPI Explorer contains all the information required to use any of the BAPIs.

Customers and partners as well as SAP developers can use the BAPI Explorer to develop BAPIs. The BAPI Explorer is an integrated programming environment providing all the tools to create BAPIs and the required development objects. The entire development process of BAPIs is carried out in form-controlled projects to achieve maximum quality, stability and user-friendliness.

• Use of Application Logs
  

As of Release 4.6A you can obtain the log number at the time you create the application log. Several instances of an application object can be managed at the same time and updated together.

The update process can be used for application logs, that is, log entries are now written to the database via the update task, and no longer written directly. If you plan to use application logs in BAPIs, they must be written using an update task.

• BAPIs with Buffering
  To save external systems from having to use their own data buffering, buffering mechanisms can be implemented in all write BAPIs - those that create or change data.

• Central Service BAPIs
  

The service BAPIs of the business objects HelpValues and BapiService are now included in the BOR component hierarchy under the node:

BC Basis -

Middleware

The BAPIs BapiService.DataConversionExt2Int and BapiService.DataConversionInt2Ext have been set to 'obsolete'. From now on you should use the new BAPIs BapiService.DataConversionExt2Int1 and BapiService.DataConversionInt2Ext1 or change your existing developments to the new BAPIs.

The BAPI Programming Guide in the R/3 Library contains detailed information about enhancing BAPIs released by SAP.

• Central Note on BAPIs with 'Commit Work'
  

From Release 4.0 BAPIs are normally implemented without an integrated 'Commit Work' command. This allows several BAPIs to be combined in one Logical Unit of Work (LUW). All BAPIs with 'Commit Work' are listed in the Online Software Service (OSS) in the central note 0131838 "Collective Note for BAPIs with "Commit Work' Command".

• New BAPIs
  

Many new BAPIs have been implemented in Release 4.6A. Details of the new BAPIs listed below are provided in the BAPI Explorer in the R/3 System. (Up-to-date information on BAPIs implemented in 4.6A is available from the Open BAPI Network.)
