Outbound Data Flow: Java CAPS to SAP R/3

Outbound communications occur when the Adapter receives data from Java CAPS and sends it to SAP R/3 by calling a specific BAPI or RFM. The figure below shows a non-transactional outbound process.

The figure above shows the following steps for the outbound data flow:

1. The Collaboration or Business Process populates the appropriate BAPI or RFC Import, Changing, and Table parameter nodes on the BAPI/RFC OTD with data from an inbound OTD.

2. The Adapter logs onto the SAP R/3 application using preconfigured properties.

3. The Adapter calls the BAPI OTD’s execute() method. Any work performed is immediately committed by SAP R/3 through autocommit.

4. The SAP R/3 applications returns successfully.
