BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
This API is used to commit a transaction to the SAP distribution target. This API is executed if the return message generated from the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 function is a success. When this API completes execution, document data sent fromWindchill PDMLink is committed to the DRAW, DRAK and DRAT SAP database tables. For more information on howWindchill ESI interprets the results of the SAP API calls, see the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP.
