a!sapBapiParameters() Function

Function

a!sapBapiParameters( scsExternalSystemKey, usePerUserCredentials, hostname, clientNumber, systemNumber, connectionProperties, bapi )

Retrieves the list of parameters required to call the given SAP BAPI. This function is most useful during development when determining the parameters for a given BAPI.

Parameters

Returns

The function returns the standard connector result dictionary described in the main Connectors page.

If successful, the function returns a dictionary representation of parameters required to call the given BAPI within the result field.

Usage considerations

If called multiple times in the same expression with the same parameters, only one query is made to SAP when the expression is evaluated and the result is reused for each identical call. This caching only applies within a single expression evaluation. Return values are not cached in separate expressions, or in separate evaluations of the same expression.

Examples

Copy and paste an example into an Appian Expression Editor to experiment with it.
