BAPI_UI_GETDETAIL - switching it on and off?

[Former Member]

Hi,

a short question - since which R/3 release is BAPI_UI_GETDETAIL available? We had problems with a piece of software because apparently the BAPI is not available in (Kernel release) 4.6D and Partner release 4.6C.

When I look into the transaction BAPI (on a ECC 5.0 System), I see that it is release since 620. Since I am not totally sure about the versions, I take it that a 4.6C system is a 640 system. Shouldn't that mean that the BAPI should be available there?

If not, from what version is the BAPI actually available?

P.S - I also posted the same question in the Data Transfers section in ABAP Development and have recieved no response. I thought that since the question is a general one and not really related to development, maybe I could start the topic here in Coffee Corner too...

46C is ancient ...

First there was R/2 (or was there even R/1?), then eventually R/3 46C. Then there was 470, and many moons later the 6xx series was released.

So if the BAPI has been available since release 620 you won't find it in a 46C system (perhaps unless they backport it and deliver it in a support package).

Basis isn't really my area, and I could be proven wrong here - which would be a bit embarrassing. So I should perhaps add AFAIK to the above.

Hi Kjetil,

you brought up an interesting point - looks like I was mixed up in the versions too.

We tried a few tests (JCo) with the remote system, and the information we got was this -

sap.info.Kernel.Release = 46D

sap.info.Release = 640

sap.info.Partner.Release = 46C

Therefore, in addition to the original question, my new question - on my ECC 5.0 system, I see that the SAP_BASIS is also 640. So if 46C and/or 46C is SAP release 640, why does the BAPI not show up?

Basis isn't my area either though I am starting to get the hang of it

Bye,

Sameer
