Ahh... you didn't say anything about what your version you were on, and=
I
forgot to make any reservations
Our systems were upgraded to 46C last summer. Anyway, below you will fi=
nd
what it says (hope it is still readable after passing through the lists=
erv)
BDBG is a transaction in our systems (Generate ALE Interface for BAPI) =
-
try it in yours and see if it works.
You can access the SAP 4.6 help online and go to
helpdata/EN/4c/4c0eb7725311d396a80004ac96334b/frameset.htm (partial URL=
,
you may have to strip off something at the front as this is a URL at ou=
r
local help server - just without the server name).
Good luck.

BAPI/ALE Integration - Generating IDocs =
=20
=
=20
BAPIs are integrated into the ALE distribution model. ALE distribution=
is =20
asynchronous and based on messages. ALE distribution is the preferred =
=20
means of integration for distributed R/3 Systems, for instance, for =
=20
distributing master data. =
=20
=
=20
=
=20
As of Release 4.0, BAPIs are the standardized interfaces for ALE-suppo=
rted=20
distribution. ALE services, such as asynchronous calls, use of the =
=20
distribution model, monitoring and error processing, can all be used f=
or =20
BAPIs. The IDocs required for ALE services can be generated from the =
=20
BAPIs. =

The BAPI interface and the IDoc interface are identical. =

Ensure that, when you have changed a BAPI, the message type, the=

IDoc type and the segments are regenerated. =
