Example case: Generating equipment

This example case shows the basic usage of the TDM Wizard for SAP BAPI and introduces the results that the wizard generates.

Scenario

An application has been developed to support the maintenance of technical equipment. The equipment is stored as devices on an SAP server. The application uses a web service to fetch the required devices from the SAP server, to process them if necessary and to deliver them to the application.

This web service needs to be tested.

Specific requirements

The web service should be able to return all the devices in a particular maintenance group to the application. The group in question is passed to the web service as a parameter by the application. Because the application will only rarely require all of the devices in a maintenance group, the web service must be able to filter the devices according to certain criteria which are also passed as parameters. Filters can be defined using the following criteria:

• Category

• Maintenance group

• Manufacturer

The application expects a list of all the devices in the selected maintenance group from the web service that meet the specified filter criteria. The following details should be provided for each device:

• Name

• Category

• Maintenance group

• Manufacturer

• Country of origin

• Currency

• Cost center

• Material number
