ODS Data and External Applications 

Use

Various functions allow you to read data from ODS objects from external applications or to fill ODS objects from external applications.

Functions

The BAPI, BAPI_ODSO_READ_DATA, for reading data, enables you to make ODS data available to external systems. This BAPI can be used for all ODS object types.

When using transactional ODS objects (see Transactional ODS object), the following APIs are available:

RSDRI_ODSO_INSERT: Inserts new data (with keys not yet in the system).

RSDRI_ODSO_INSERT_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY: inserts data having new keys; for data with keys already in the system, the data is changed.

RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_UPDATE: changes data with keys in the system

RSDRI_ODSO_UPDATE_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_DELETE_RFC: deletes data

These APIs allow you to fill ODS objects with data from external applications, for example, from Web applications.

You can also download from the ODS object. You can display the ODS table data from the ODS object administration, and also download the data using the data browser so that you can use or display it in other applications. See ODS Object Content.
