Unable to find BAPI CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1

[Former Member]

Hi,

    I created a project using the segw t-code for which I need to import the Data Model by DDIC structure. I am trying to look for the BAPI CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1 but it doesn't appear. I looked it's package details using the transaction se37 . I used that package name to search while looking for the BAPI's in segw , but it still did not appear in the list.

        I also tried searching BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1 and BAPICUSTOMER_GETDETAIL1 and few other combinations, but nothing worked.

        Looking forward to your suggestions now.

Regards,

Hi Ravi,

in case of importing data model for BAPI , you should choose RFC/BOR interface instead of DDIC Structure.

Refer this document for more understanding

Hi Jitendra,

             I forgot to mention it in the original post, but we still have netweaver gateway components in level SP4 and the RFC/BOR interface is only available with SP5. Is there any other way I can import the BAPI using the DDIC Structure?

Hi Ravi

Where are you looking for this BAPI? If you have a standalone Gateway, it won't be in there and you should not be building the service implementation in the Gateway instance.

If you don't have the right SP level for what you are trying to do, do a code-based implementation using the BAPI as means of obtaining the data for your read. How were you planning to satisfy a query and get the entityset? It's not RESTful to assume that the customer key is known for a direct read.

See these articles:

Hi Ron,

        Thank you for sharing the documents, they were very helpful. I guess I will upgrade the setup to SP08, which I assume is the latest so as to use the RFC/BOR import method. That apparently should make things easier for me.
