Converting BAPI Formats

You must convert the formats for both IDocs and BAPIs when you move between versions of Adapter for SAP R/3. Custom formats can continue to use names that begin with user-defined prefixes to differentiate them from standard formats.

BAPI formats and rules that you used for version 3.8 of the adapter will work with Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9. BAPI formats from version 3.0.3 or earlier are not supported and should be reloaded using the version 3.9 adapter. New rules must be created for these formats.

The term New Formatter Database references any database created using MQSI version 2.0.2, WMQI version 2.1, or e-Biz Integrator versions 3.2x or 3.6x.

The term Old Formatter Database references a database built on earlier versions of these products.

❖To use BAPI formats used in pre-3.9 versions

•Reload all BAPIs into the New Formatter Database.

Note New Rules must be created for all formats that are reloaded into a new database.
