Introduction
Some time ago I needed to publish SAP Application Interface Framework Interfaces as REST APIs for a Customer SAP S/4HANA System, providing a Swagger Documentation and Testing Page.
Prerequisites
- Basic SAP Application Interface Framework Knowledge
- ABAP Swagger Classes implemented
Implementation Steps
SAP Application Interface Framework Configuration
Interface Definition
We want to create Business Partners using the BAPI BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA. Therefore I defined a Z-Structure with the same Structures as in the BAPI:
We use Move-Corresponding, so we won´t need a Structure Mapping:
- Application and Persistence Engine = XML (Standard is Proxy)
Action
For my Testcase I created an SAP Application Interface Framework Interface which creates Business Partners using the BAPI BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
Function Module:
FUNCTION zXXXXX_bupa_create .

EXPORTING

centraldataorganization = data-central_data_org
IMPORTING

IF lv_bpartner IS NOT INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION '/AIF/UTIL_ADD_MSG'
EXPORTING
msgty = 'S'
msgid = 'ZXXXXX'
msgno = '000'
msgv1 = lv_bpartner
TABLES
return_tab = return_tab
.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.Runtime Configuration Group
- Defined a custom active Runtime Configuration Group in Transaction /AIF/PERS_CGR (Active means that the Message is processed in the same Work Process when called. This enables us to process SAP Application Interface Framework Interfaces synchronously)
We need to reference this Runtime Configuration Group when calling the SAP Application Interface Framework Interface, otherwise SAP Application Interface Framework will process the Message with the Standard Configuration Group.
REST API Implementation
I created 3 classes for this interface:
- Ressource Class (contains the actual Ressources, in this case the Interface Call)
- Swagger Class (contains the Swagger configuration)
- SICF Handler Class (maintained for the Service in SICF)
Ressource Class
One example Method for the Ressource Class: POST_BUPA_S (Synchronous Call of BUPA Interface)
* <SIGNATURE>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* | Instance Public Method ZAIFBP_CL_REST_RSRC_BUPA->POST_BUPA_S
* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

METHOD post_bupa_s.

TRY.
CALL METHOD /aif/cl_enabler_xml=>transfer_to_aif

iv_queue_ns = 'XXXXX'
iv_queue_name = '001'
IMPORTING

CALL FUNCTION 'RS_EXCEPTION_TO_BAPIRET2'
EXPORTING
i_r_exception = lo_exc
CHANGING
c_t_bapiret2 = lt_return.
ENDTRY.
IF lt_return IS INITIAL.
APPEND 'Message successfully transferred to SAP Application Interface Framework' TO rt_return.
ENDIF.
SELECT status FROM /aif/std_idx_tbl INTO lv_status WHERE msgguid = lv_msgguid. ENDSELECT.
DATA(lv_message) = 'GUID: ' && lv_msgguid && ', Status: ' && lv_status.
CALL FUNCTION '/AIF/UTIL_ADD_MSG'
EXPORTING
msgty = 'S'
msgid = 'XXXXX'
msgno = '001'
msgv1 = lv_message

return_tab = lt_return.

ENDLOOP.

iv_namespace = 'XXXXX'
iv_interface = 'BUPA'
).
LOOP AT lt_return ASSIGNING <ls_return>.
APPEND <ls_return>-message TO rt_return.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.The Status is retrieved from the SAP Application Interface Framework Standard Index Table. This should be adapted if a custom Index table has been customized.
The method zaifgl_cl_utility=>get_log_messages uses the Standard Function Modules BAL_DB_SEARCH, BAL_DB_LOAD, BAL_LOG_MSG_READ to get the Log Messages of an SAP Application Interface Framework Message:

ENDMETHOD.Swagger Class
Now in the Swagger Class we need to register the Service. in our example we will have the endpoint “/sap/zrest/bupa”
* <SIGNATURE>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* | Instance Public Method ZAIFBP_CL_REST_SWAG_BUPA->IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST
* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

CREATE OBJECT lo_swag
EXPORTING
io_server = server
iv_base = '/sap/zrest/bupa'
iv_title = 'BUPA'.
lo_swag->register( me ).
lo_swag->run( ).
ENDMETHOD.For every implemented Method in the Ressource Class we need to add a Line in the Meta Table of the Swagger Class (here we have 5 Methods defined)
* <SIGNATURE>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* | Instance Public Method ZAIFBP_CL_REST_SWAG_BUPA->ZIF_SWAG_HANDLER~META

<ls_meta>-handler = 'POST_BUPA_S'.
<ls_meta>-response_settings-remove_data_object = abap_true.
ENDMETHOD.The Method of the Swagger Class (zaifbp_cl_rest_swag_bupa) will always call the corresponding Ressource Class (zaifbp_cl_rest_rsrc_bupa):
* <SIGNATURE>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

CREATE OBJECT lo_bupa.
rt_return = lo_bupa->post_bupa_s( is_data ).
ENDMETHOD.
SICF Class
The SICF Class calls the Swagger Class if the Endpoint is correct:

CREATE OBJECT li_http TYPE zaifbp_cl_rest_swag_bupa.
li_http->handle_request( server ).
ELSE.

lv_name = 'index.html' ##NO_TEXT.

read_mime( ii_server = server
iv_url = lv_name ).

We also need the correct URL in Method “read_mime”
