DataStore Data and External Applications

Use

Various functions allow you to read data from DataStore objects from external applications or to fill DataStore objects from external applications.

Features

The BAPI, BAPI_ODSO_READ_DATA_UC, for reading data, enables you to make DataStore data available to external systems. This BAPI can be used for all DataStore object types.

BAPI BAPI_ODSO_READ_DATA was used fort his purpose in the previous release. It is now obsolete.

The following APIs are available for direct update of DataStore objects (see DataStore Object for Direct Update):

RSDRI_ODSO_INSERT: Inserts new data (with keys not yet in the system).

RSDRI_ODSO_INSERT_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY: inserts data having new keys; for data with keys already in the system, the data is changed.

RSDRI_ODSO_MODIFY_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_UPDATE: changes data with keys in the system

RSDRI_ODSO_UPDATE_RFC: see above, can be called up remotely

RSDRI_ODSO_DELETE_RFC: deletes data

Also take a look at the extensive documentation for this function module in the BW system.

These APIs allow you to fill DataStore objects with data from external applications, for example, from Web applications.

You can also download from the DataStore object. You can display the DataStore table data from the DataStore object administration, and also download the data using the data browser so that you can use or display it in other applications. For more information see DataStore Object Content.
