BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE - unable to create notification

2575 Views

Hello experts!

I'm trying to create notification in SAP ERP via SAP MII. I've searched a lot about this in SCN and other resources. I've figured out that I need to use two BAPIs:

1. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE - to create notification;

2. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE - to save notification.

According to my scenario I should pass only notification type, functional location and breakdown flag. So I fill the following BAPI input nodes:

/BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE/INPUT/NOTIF_TYPE = notification type;

/BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE/INPUT/NOTIFHEADER/FUNCT_LOC = functional location;

/BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE/INPUT/NOTIFHEADER/BREAKDOWN = breakdown flag.

After execution BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE returns temporary notification number '%00000000001'. Then I pass this number into BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE (node {/BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE/INPUT/NUMBER).

At this step I am facing a problem: BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE returns error message E IM 258 Object does not exist (Status Management).

I assume, that not all of required parameters in BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE are filled and that's why BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE can not save the message. Is that correct? If so, what are minimal requirements to create message in BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE?

Maybe there is another cause?

Can somebody please help me to solve this problem?

Any reply will be greatly aprreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Vitaliy
