After installing ABAP Trial Version NW7 on my laptop, I copied ref client 000 to two clients (100 and 200), and set up a person business partner on each client with parnter number 1.
I then delegated BUS1006 on system 100 so that I had a YBUS1008 object with the same methods as BUS1006.
I then went thru the usual rhythm (SALE, WE20, SM59 to get the ALE stuff set up, and then used BDBG to generate my BAPI-ALE interface.
Everything went perfectly: I used SE37 on the sending system to execute the outbound function module with some changed data, and then used SALE to dispatch the IDOC that was created. Then on the input side, I used BD87 to process the IDOC.
The result of all this was a final IDOC status of "53" indicating successful posting of an application document.
But when I go into BUP2, the data for the business partner isn't actually changed.
If the IDOC posts with a "53", shouldn't I see the actual changed data in the business partner on the receiving system?
I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but I'm not sure what it is.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
