User Update to SAP HCM

[ASA]

We have to write some identity attributes that are generated on EIC side back to the source system SAP HCM.

I see there is no UPDATEUSERJSON in the SAP connector like e.g. in the REST connector. Can anyone advise with a best practice how to achieve this?

Thanks beforehand!

You can use actionable report/rule

Hello,

You cannot write back to SAP HCM through the connector. This can be achieved through a custom java class. Use the "Custom Action" option in the update rule and call your java class from there. You can create a JCoDestination & execute your function module by passing the required arguments to your method. 

Sample method (just for reference): 

public String callHCMFunctionModule(JCoDestination ABAP_AS, String personID, String sapID, String startdate) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Calling HCM Function Module BAPI.............");

// Connect
JCoFunction function = ABAP_AS.getRepository().getFunction("ZM_FUNCTION_MODULE");
System.out.println("get function..........");

// Set params
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("PERNR",personID);
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("SAPID", sapID);

System.out.println("Getting date..........");

function.getImportParameterList().setValue("BEGDA", startdate);

// Execute
function.execute(ABAP_AS);
System.out.println("getting export parameters.............");
System.out.println(function.getExportParameterList().getFieldCount()+".............");
if (function.getExportParameterList().getFieldCount()==0)
throw new Exception("Error in data");

String message = "";

return message;

}
