SAP ABAP documentation
Hi Guys,
I have a client looking for some additional information regarding the ABAP modules required for idB for SAP comms. They would like to know
- Why we need them
- Exactly what they do
- What we pass to execute them
- If they are "SAP Certified"
- Who wrote them
Not sure if any of this exists.
They are trying to understand why broker does not use the OOTB modules to perform its tasks.
My understanding was that the modules were required in order to output the return values in an idB compliant manner.
Any information would assist
Cheers,
Ryan
Answer
Why we need them
ABAP is the designated method for interacting with SAP, that works across their releases.
Exactly what they do
The read modules allow us to read from one or more tables, shaping the data into a format that is consistent across each of the 'objects' that we read. The write modules allow us to add/update/upsert to one or more tables, in a format that is consistent across each of the 'objects' that we write.
What we pass to execute them
To perform a write we send the headers being updated, the 'shape' of the 'object' being updated, the details of the records being updated.
If they are "SAP Certified"
No, it was determined that it did not make commercial sense. You'll be able to see exactly what is contained within the modules once imported. However, we would be more than happy to discuss working with you on this if required.
