BRFplus Rollback

[shahram_shadmani4]

Hello BRFplus gurus,

Is it possible to have a rollback step when using BRFplus APIs? Let assume I want to populate 2 dependent decision tables A and B. The order is insert records into A first and save. Then insert records into B (if insert A was successful). However, if insert B fails a rollback for the decision table A should occur. I understand that it is possible to discard changes before the save method call, though.

Thanks.

Hi,

you are right as soon as you save a change the data is written to the DB. There is no API method to do a rollback or to save something as draft.

If you strictly use the API you can rollback the changes via ROLLBACK WORK (but be aware of implicit commits)

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean with the strict use of the API?

FYI, I use the insert() and the save() methods.

Hi,

I meant that you can use the API in a dialog flow or in a wizard where switching between screens might lead to an implicit commit. If yor functionality is just a sequence of the API calls the ROLLBACK WORK should work for you

The application has no dialog steps and no ABAP statement that would trigger a commit work (messages etc.).

Are you now suggesting that a ROLLBACK WORK would work even after a save( ) ?

That's what I meant 🙂
