tRFC BAPI Adapter Configuration

The EAI SAP BAPI adapter (tRFC) business service can be invoked from a workflow. Read Customizing Integrations for more information. Table 27 and Table 28 summarize the User Properties, Method Arguments, and Component Parameters that may be set to control its behavior. The EAI SAP BAPI adapter (tRFC) is a cached business service. Variables defined as user properties in the business service are used only once for initialization purposes at the time of the first call to the business service. Variables defined to be method arguments are used on each call and may vary from call to call. Those variables that may be set as component parameters must be set for the Business Integration Manager component.

Table 27 contains User Properties, Component Parameters, and Input Method Arguments for the Execute Method.
