BAPI Wrappers

BAPI wrappers can connect to an SAP system, using a BAPI data source, execute a BAPI and return its results.

Syntax of the CREATE WRAPPER SAPERP statement (BAPI) and Syntax of the ALTER WRAPPER SAPERP statement (BAPI) contain the syntax of the commands to create and modify BAPI wrappers.

Syntax of the CREATE WRAPPER SAPERP statement (BAPI)
CREATE [ OR REPLACE ] WRAPPER SAPERP <name:identifier>
    [ FOLDER = <literal> ]
    DATASOURCENAME = <name:identifier>
    BAPINAME = <name:literal>
    [ WITH_COMMIT = { TRUE | FALSE } ] // FALSE by default
    [ OUTPUTSCHEMA ( <field> [, <field> ]* ) ]
    [ SOURCECONFIGURATION ( [ <source configuration property>
                            [, <source configuration property> ]* ] ) ]

<field> ::=
       <name:identifier> = <mapping:literal> [ VALUE <literal> ]
          [ ( { OBL | OPT } ) ]
          [ ( DEFAULTVALUE <literal> ) ]
          [ EXTERN ]
          [ <inline constraints> ]*
     | <name:identifier> = <mapping:literal> : ARRAY OF ( <register field> )
          [ ( DEFAULTVALUE <literal> ) ]
          [ <inline constraints> ]*
     | <name:register field>

<register field> ::=
    <name:identifier> = <mapping:literal> :
       REGISTER OF ( [ <field> [, <field> ]* ] )
          [ ( DEFAULTVALUE <literal> ) ]
          [ <inline constraints> ]*

<inline constraint> ::=
     [ NOT ] NULL
   | [ NOT ] UPDATEABLE
   | { SORTABLE [ ASC | DESC ] | NOT SORTABLE }

<source configuration property> ::=
      DATAINORDERFIELDSLIST = { DEFAULT | ( <name:identifier> { ASC | DESC }
                                      [, <name:identifier> { ASC | DESC } ]* ) }
Syntax of the ALTER WRAPPER SAPERP statement (BAPI)
ALTER WRAPPER SAPERP <name:identifier>
    [ DATASOURCENAME = <name:identifier> ]
    [ BAPINAME = <name:literal> ]
    [ WITH_COMMIT = { TRUE | FALSE } ] // FALSE by default
    [ OUTPUTSCHEMA ( <field> [, <field> ]* ) ]
    [ SOURCECONFIGURATION ( [ <source configuration property>
    [, <source configuration property> ]* ] ) ]

If WITH_COMMIT is TRUE, when this base view is queried, Virtual DataPort will run the BAPI BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after running the BAPI of this wrapper. Setting this clause to TRUE is equivalent to selecting the check box “Commit after BAPI execution” of the “Create base view from BAPI” dialog. The section BAPI Sources of the Administration Guide explains this option in more detail.
