I am trying to raise a PM Notification from MII via Remote function calls.

[Former Member]

I am calling BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE.

This returns a Notification number that looks to be correct but I cannot find it in the SAP system.

I then call BAPI_QUALNOT_SAVE and give it thhe Notification number created in the previous action.

This does not return an error or message of any kind.

I then call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT which has no input.

All these look to have finished without error, but the notification cannot be found on the SAP system.

I am calling these BAPIs using "SAP JCo Interface" action blocks and check the results of each via a Trace action.

Here is the "Transaction Debug" trace

13:58:25.504 [WARN] Data buffer filter for this action does not exist or the interface is incorrect.

Neil,

Are you calling the BAPIs all in the same session (JCo Start Session ...etc)?

Regards,
Christian

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Christian,

This is all done in one session.

[former_member185280 · Accepted solution]

Actually in terms of communication with ECC each of those JCo calls occurs in it's own session.

Use the start session/end session actions etc to make all of your calls within the same ECC session.

Hi Neil,

Try to use JCO Commit action block in your scenario and then see if it helps.

Regards,

Sriram

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

It should work within a single JCo session too.

Follow below sequence :

1. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE

2. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE

3. BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT or use a MII JCo COMMIT action block.

Thanks
