Generating the BAPI-ALE Interface (SAP Library - BAPIs for Mass Data Transfer (CA-BFA))

Generating the BAPI-ALE Interface

Purpose

To allow a BAPI call to be generated automatically for each IDoc contained in the transfer file, the corresponding ALE interface must generated for all mass data-capable BAPIs. The interfaces are generated using transaction BDBG.

Process Flow

A detailed description of the generation process flow is available in Using ALE Services and in the ALE Programming Guide under Generating the BAPI-ALE Interface.

The following components are generated for each BAPI:

A message type

An IDoc type

An ALE inbound function module that reads the segments of an inbound IDoc, fills the parameters of the corresponding BAPI, and calls the BAPI

An ALE outbound function module that generates an IDoc from the parameters of the BAPI and places it in ALE outbound
