BAPI to read personal data?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

What is the difference between below 3 BAPIs (they look almost same) and which BAPI is best to use to read personal data and why?

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETDETAIL u2013 Read personal data

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETDETAILEDLIST u2013 read instances with data

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETLIST u2013 Read instances

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETDETAILEDLIST

Hi,

All the 3 BAPIs deal with IT0002.

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETDETAILEDLIST u2013 Gives complete detail of the record.

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETLIST u2013 Gives mainly the start date and end date of the record.

BAPI_PERSDATA_GETDETAIL u2013 I think this one needs specific import parameters but it also returns IT0002 information.

Thanks Donnie, which BAPI is better to use to read data from IT0002? what are the parameters (like performance) we need to consider while choosing a BAPI?
