Stage 2: Put IDoc/data segments into a staging
table (still in SAP)
Stage 3: Load a batch of segments into the
external SAPI database

SAPI Programs
Stage 2 Program:-
SE38 - ZCAXXIO001_STAGING_OUT_TABLE
This program retrieves the concerned IDOC data
(customer / Order ) and fills the corresponding
staging tables:-
ZTCA_STG_CUS_OUT
ZTCA_STG_INV_OUT
ZTCA_STG_MAT_OUT
ZTCA_STG_ORD_OUT
SAPI Programs
Stage 3 Program:-
SE38 - ZCAXXID002STAGING_OUT_DB2
This program retrieves the data from the staging
tables and sends them to concerned Bolt-On
systems.

If Successfully sent, it updates the log table
ZTSD_SAPI_LOG and TVARV table with name
'Z_OB_LAST_EXTRACT_DATE .
Customer Test scenario created on 03 Apr 2013 :
System:- TR2
Customer Data Before changes
Staging table entries Before changes
Stage 1 Job ZRBDMIDOC (a job OCAT1205SAPICUSTS1 is run for
every 30 minutes). I manually run it for time being.
After the Stage 2 job/ program is run, the staging table is
updated with the partner changes:-


After the Stage 2 job/ program is run, Stage 3 Job is run
(Daily once) to send the captured staging table data to
the Bolt on systems.

To know the Job Names (as may get changed), go to the
table V_OP and give the program names (stage2 and
stage3 programs) for a particular day.
