Posting BAPI XML to SAP ERP over Skyvva SAP ERP Adapter
In SAP ERP we have to do the following settings
Calling RFC-enabled Function Modules over HTTP from external application
As a prerequisite, go to transaction SICF and locate the following service: sap -> bc -> soap -> rfc. Its description gives you some more details about the functionality: SOAP HTTP HANDLER FOR RFC-CAPABLE FUNCTION MODULES.
Now, right-click on that service and choose Test Service, and make sure that you allow SAP to open your web browser (in a popup that appears). Make note of the URL that is opened in the browser. Generally, this URL would look as follows:
http://[hostname]:[SICF port]/sap/bc/soap/rfc?sap-client=[client]
It’s a central endpoint for all BAPI’s. Now that we know the communication URL use an HTTP client to communicate with SAP. In this example, I will use the SOAP UI tool for this purpose, but it can be any application.
Importing BAPI/RFC’s from Import SAP metadata
To Import SAP metadata first we need to create SAP Connection in skyvva as shown below
Go to Integration details tab and then select SAP Control Board
Provide the details as shown for the SAP system
In the Configuration tab. Provide the details
Here we need to provide the sap configuration details as below
Type: SAP ERP
Deployment: Embedded
Logical System: LSSAP
Host Url: http://xxxx.com
Port: 16xxx
Username: xxxx
Password: ******
SAPID: System Id
Client: 820
Once we provide the details we need to ping the SAP Connection. Then we can see the pop-up like its successfully connected to SAP Backend.
Now we have to provide the salesforce details as shown below.
Consumer Key and Consumer Secret we can get from the connected App.
Click on Ping Connection of Salesforce to check if its connected successfully.
We got the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from App manager.
With this connection. we can import the IDOC/RFC’s from SAP.
Create Metadata Provider
Create Repository
From the Repository Click on Import SAP Metadata Tab
Here we need to give the details of connection type, Connection Destination which we created earlier in the SAP Control Board and Select the Application Data type BAPI/RFC’s and then click on Retrive.
Select the BAPI name to create message type
Below is the message type template for BAPI
This message type we use in the outbound interface and inbound interface
Creating the SAP ERP Adapter in Skyvva
We need to provide the following details to create the Skyvva SAP ERP adapter
Name – Name of the adapter
Type – SAP ERP
Description – BAPI XML Adapter
Direction – Outbound
Status – Active
Integration protocol – BAPI
Connection Destination – It means the SAP Connection which we created earlier for the backend connection – SAP_ID7_SF_Integration
Salesforce Id Handling – It means the salesforce Id will come back along with the Response message to update the existing account in order to avoid the new record creation.
Now click on save button to create the adapter.
Creating an Outbound Request interface:
Provide the Name, sObject type, Description, Processing mode, Status, Metadata provider, Repository, Message type, outbound adapter and the SQL statement as shown in the screenshots below
In the message type we have to select the root message type then it will automatically point to Request in the request interface and point to Response in the response interface.
In our example BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 is the root message type as shown below.
Add the response interface in the request interface.
For outbound interface we have to do mapping in Skyvva as shown.
Save the interface once provide all the necessary details.
Creating an Inbound Response Interface:
Provide the Name, sObject type, Description, Processing mode, Status, Operation Type, Metadata provider, Repository, Message type as shown in the screenshots below
Do the inbound mapping as shown below.
We have to map the Id field in the response mapping to get the Id back in the response message. For the below example we don’t have Id field in the source side so we are going to map Id with functions as shown below.
Now do the callout using below apex code:
skyvvasolutions.CallOutControl c=new skyvvasolutions.CallOutControl();
c.returnXml=true;
c.returnListRecord=true;
c.isCreateMessage=true;
c.actionDoIntegrate=true;
String[] ids=new String[]{‘0013E00001DKgY9QAL’};
skyvvasolutions.Iservices.invokeCalloutV3(‘BAPIXML_ERP’,’BAPIXML_Out’,ids,’SYNC’, c);
Now we can see the message in the message monitor:
Expand the response interface dropdown to see the message Id.
We can see the salesforce Id coming in the response message along with the customer number.
Click on “related to” to see the updated record.
Updated record in Salesforce.
