Configuring a BAPI stage
The BAPI stage handles data input and output by using either links or files. The column schema of the links is created automatically while configuring the BAPI stage and is inferred from the schemas of the BAPI parameters.
About this task
Notes:
- Legacy job design uses only an input or output link for BAPI (for example, BAPI->Peek). A file is used to pass the input parameters to BAPI (Input.txt). If no import parameters are used, the user still needs to created an empty file.
- Active job design, with both input and output links for BAPI (for example, RowGen->BAPI->Peek) does not use the parameter file, input parameters are passed through input link. Similarly instead of just using log files, output goes to output link. This is the recommended job design.
