Using BAPI stage (SAP Pack)

[thebird]

Hi,

I have flat files, from which the data has to be posted into SAP R/3. The data has to be posted as IDoc. I am using the Ascential SAP pack for this purpose.

I have to get a particular data (Accounting Period) from the R/3 system, before the posting. I would like to know if there is there a way to call a BAPI function, BAPI_COMPANYCODE_GET_PERIOD from DataStage using the BAPI Stage?

Thanks in advance.

You can access any BAPI from DataStage for which you have the priviledge as long as your system is configured to do so.

Hi,

It's too late to offer assistance, I am sure by now you must have got an answer to your problem. Anyways here's the solution:

1. Select Bapi stage. Connect Bapi stage with a Transforemer followed by a Sequential File. Bapi stage has no Input links in this case.

2. Select Bapi stage and Establish SAP connection.
3. Go to General Tab click on Bapi Explorer-> Select CompanyCode then choose GetPeriod.
4. Move on to the next tba-> BAPI.
5. If in the Import Page the required parmeters are not in green then right click and activate them.
6. On the Export Page under BAPI tab..activate the parameters. Right click and say activate.
7. Move on to the next tab: Read Logs. Here uncheck the Use Defaults box.
8. Specify the Input File path with file name in the Input file Box. Also specify the Log file path in the Location for Log files box.
Bapi will read your input files from this location.
9. Come to Transformer and drag all the Columns to the Outputl File.
10. Execute the job.

You will find your bapi has worked and the expected result is stored in the output file.
