Resolution:
When RFCs/BAPIs are called from external systems(say from MB), the import parameters of simple and structure types, need to be initialized with default values for SAP data types such as:

- DATS (Date) Default Value 8 spaces
- Time Default Value 6 spaces
- Numc (Numbers) Default Value N spaces

If these values are not  initialized as per above guideline for the RFC/BAPI import parameters and structures , by the calling application (say MB), the SAPAdapter will most likely throw up an exception.

This behavior has been corrected in 3.1.0 adapter which now includes  additional information for  function parameters and class attributes in the form of property tags:
property name = "saptype" value = "D"
property name = "length" value = "8"

For more details, pl. consult ReadMe Doc or contact Customer Support.

[This KA was unapproved and obsolete when migrated.] I have an InboundSAPAdapter instance configured for an RFC/BAPI that is throwing up an exception when I invoke the RFC/BAPI in MB. Pl. help.
