Supported data operations on BAPI business objects

The operation of a BAPI business object specifies the BAPI call to execute in the SAP system for that object. The BAPI method determines the operation associated with it.

BAPIs and BAPI transactions

Operations of a business object are invoked by the client component that makes calls to SAP through the adapter. The SAP JCo APIs are used to make the call to the SAP system.

The following table defines operations that the adapter supports for BAPIs and BAPI transactions.
Note: The definitions listed in the table are the expected uses for the operations. The action taken in the SAP application is based on the meaning of the BAPI itself.
Table 1. Supported operations: BAPI business objects
Operation Definition
Create The top-level business object and all contained children are created.
Update The top-level business object is modified. This operation can include adding and deleting child objects.
Delete The top-level business object and any contained children are deleted.
Retrieve The top-level business object and any contained children are retrieved.

For an operation that is not supported, the adapter logs the appropriate error and produces a ResourceException.
