RFC Lookup is not working

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a RFC Lookup in my interface and we are calling a BAPI at to update some table at SAP side. But any how updating to table is not taking place. I have checked the channel in RWB and its green. I have started and stopped the channel. We have restarted the Java stack. Channel log is showing the xml for each call to RFC. We have checked the code at SAP, its working fine. Please provide some suggestion..

Hi Abhijit,

I have faced the same issue before. Not sure but please check the Return Type of you BAPI.

RFC Channel supports only "RETURN of type BAPIRETURN, BAPIRET1 or BAPIRET2", other than this may not show any error in CC Monitoring but does not perform any action at SAP side.

Hi Nabendu,

I just checked and find that Return type is different that what you mentioned. Thanks a lot, really did not find any clue after lof of debugging.

Hi Nabendu,

SAP team has already defined the BAPI and other systems are using it. So right now it is not possible to change the BAPI. Can you please let me know how can I achieve this, this RFC lookup from SAP PI? Thanks in advance.

Hi Abhijit,

You can go for SOAP Lookup from your Message Mapping UDF. You need to publish your BAPI/Function Module as Webservice and consume that in PI. Then you need to perform SOAP Looup from UDF.

Please find the below blogs:
