Supported data operations of Query interface for SAP Software business objects
The SAP Query interface supports the RetrieveAll operation, with which you can have the results of an SAP table returned to you, and the Exists operation, which you use to determine whether data can be found in the SAP table. The adapter uses the application-specific information (ASI) inside the business object definition to implement the operation.
The supported operations for the Query interface for SAP Software are listed in the following table.
Supported operations: Query interface for SAP Software business objects Operation Description RetrieveAll Returns a result set in the form of a container of SAP query business objects, which represent the data for each row retrieved from the table. If a table business object is sent to the SAP server (instead of a container business object), the rows are returned one at a time. Exists Provides a means to check for the existence of any records in SAP for a defined search criteria. The Exists operation does not return any data; it indicates whether the data exists in SAP. If no data is found, the adapter generates an exception.
