Bapi

BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface. It allows direct updating of databases without screen mappings. Some key advantages of BAPIs over BDCs include better performance, ability to reuse programs, and availability for all transactions. BAPIs are based on object-oriented programming and support multiple languages. Business objects in SAP encapsulate business data and logic through components like the kernel, integration layer, interface layer, and communication layer. BAPIs stored in the central Business Object Repository can be accessed by various communication interfaces to integrate with business objects. Common uses of BAPIs include all SAP modules as well as dimensional products.

BAPI:

 Business Application Programming Interface


 It is an interface programming across business applications

Difference between BDC & BAPI:


BDC BAPI

BDC   BAPI
In BDC we have to update the database Via Screens   BAPI updates the database directly
Screen mapping is compulsory   No mapping required
BDC programs not effective for Large applications BAPI ensures very good
(poor performance)   performance for all
In upgradation projects as there may be New screens
with new fields therefore you
Have to rewrite your BDC program   Same BAPI programs can be reused
Can upload data for Every
BDC is not available for Every transactions   Transactions

Features of BAPI:
1. BAPI is an interface programming
2. It is based on Object Oriented Programming
3. It supports all types of Languages (.Net, Java, C++………etc)
4. In BAPI, RFC function module converted to method & the same method
is accessed by 3rd party communication interfaces
5. BAPI is synchronous

Business Object:
 The entire business objected oriented programming is designed based on
business objects
 Every business object holds business data & does not allow it to access
by outside world

Components of Business Object:


1. Kernel
2. Integration Layer
3. Interface Layer
4. Communication Layer

Kernel:
It holds inherent data
Integration Layer:
In this layer methods are defined for accessing Kernel data

Interface Layer:
Here interfaces (BAPIs) are maintained for integrating with methods

Communication Layer:
All communication interfaces (RFC, CORBA……..etc) can access this layer

Other Components of Business Object:


1. Object Type
2. Key Fields
3. Methods
4. Attributes ………….etc

Object Type:
 Business Objects are created based on Object Type
 It acts as a blue print (or) template for creating business objects

Key Fields:
Using this option key fields are maintained (Customer Number, Sales
Order………etc)

Methods:
The main logic for extracting business data is maintained using Methods

Attributes:
 These are the parameters which are passed & returns from Methods
 These are actually part of Methods
BOR:
 Business Object Repository
 It is the central repository for all business object types & their BAPIs

Features of BOR:
1. It acts as central access point (or) repository for all Business Objects,
Object Types, Their Key Fields, Methods …………..etc
2. All 3rd party Communication interfaces can access Business Objects
stored in BOR
3. Business Objects maintained in BOR remains stable for a long time

Note:
The T code for working with BOR is BAPI & SW01

Where BAPIs are used in Real Time:


1. In all modules (SD, MM, PP, HR ………etc)
2. In dimensional products (CRM, APO, SCM………etc)
3. In ALE directly
***Types of BAPIs:
1. Standard BAPI
2. Custom BAPI
3. Extended BAPI

Standard BAPI:
In standard BAPI, all BAPI function modules are predefined
