How do I use LSMW with a bespoke dataload program?

Hello data migration gurus, I need your help.
I need to migrate data from a legacy system into a suite of bespoke functionality we've written within SAP CRM. We are planning to write a program to perform the load. However we would like such a program to be reusable, so it makes sense to keep the data load separate from the data formatting, which may vary between customers.
The obvious answer is to use LSMW for the data formatting, calling our load program as the last step. However in LSMW you can only choose from a list of standard dataload programs. Does anyone know how to use LSMW with a bespoke program? It looks like transaction SXDA might be involved, but it isn't too clear. If anyone has done this kind of thing elsewhere, advice would be much appreciated!
Obviously as an alternative we could just write a separate program to format the data - it would just be a lot better if we could use LSMW.

No longer required.

    Hi
    BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
    BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
    LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
    The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
    More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
    The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
    So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
    We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
    The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
    Check your procedure using this Links.

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
    Thanks

    Hi there JByrd,
    Let's take a closer look into this. What plan are you currently on? If you are on the More Everything plan, then you shouldn't have to do anything additional. If you are on the Nationwide plan it is an additional $20 a month for 2 GB of data. Let us know what plan you have. Thanks!

    Hey Erin how about you confirm to Elector and others that you HAVE to pay for tethering on Nationwide plans and that if you are using a 3rd tethering app to bypass paying you are violating the terms of service. They don't seem to believe me.

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

    In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
    by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
    example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
    system. Is this right?
    How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
    respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
    sample code?

    The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
    specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
    identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
    objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
    "objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

    I'm using Kodo 2.4.0, Oracle 9i, JBoss 3.0.4, the Kodo jars are in the

    Well, I'll show what I have...
    This is the script of my table:
    CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
    VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
    VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE
    PRIMARY KEY ( VOYAGEID ) ) ;
    This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:
    <class name="LineupVoyage" objectid-class="LineupVoyageId"
    identity-type="datastore">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="LINEUP_VOYAGE"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="sequence"
    value="LINEUP_VOYAGEID_SEQ"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="pk-column" value="VOYAGEID"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="lock-column" value="none"/>
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="class-column" value="none"/>
    <field name="vesselName">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
    value="VESSEL_NAME"/>
    </field>
    <!--field name="id" primary-key="true">
    <extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"
    value="VOYAGEID"/>
    </field-->
    </class>
    As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
    And this is my class:
    package br.com.fertimport.entity;
    import java.util.*;
    public class LineupVoyage {
         private String vesselName;
    //     private long id;
    //     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }
    //     public long getId() { return id; }
    //     public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
         public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
         public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
    vesselName; }
    The "id" attribute is commented.
    Now the questions...
    To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
    application or datastore?
    Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
    As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
    use this property to represent my object id?
    If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
    The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
    (entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
    connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff
    in the web tier. Is this possible?

  • FAQ: How do I use Revel with the Elements 12 Organizer (Mobile Albums)?

    FAQ: How do I use Revel with Photoshop Elements 12 Mobile Albums?
    Photoshop Elements lets you upload your media to Adobe® Revel and then access it from any device. Media already present in your Revel libraries is downloaded into Elements Organizer, so that you can work with it. Adobe Revel is an app that lets you store your media in the cloud and share it privately or publicly. See the links below for additional informtion about using Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 12 with Revel.
    If you check the option to make all your Elements photos and videos available in Mobile Albums, then Elements will move everything over to Mobile Albums, and upload it all to your Revel Library. Note that with mobile albums if you delete an image it will be deleted inElements and Revel.
    If you have some mobile albums that you only want in elements and you have already made them mobile albums, there is a way to move them back. You can drag and drop a mobile album onto a local category. Media in the mobile album is downloaded as it exists in Revel and stored locally. Subsequentally, the downloaded media is deleted from Revel. You can select one or more of the photos in the Elements Organizer and right click on one of them and select Remove From Revel at the bottom of the list. That will move them out of Revel, and keep them in the Elements Organizer.

    Also, bear in mind that few users of the full version of Photoshop are familiar with Photoshop Elements or Organizer, so many of us won't even know exactly what you mean.
    I have to get back on this, Just recently bought Elements and Premiere for Mac (actually more for fun and possible use for a minor workshop, not for my professional workflow) and only had a short glance at it.
    Just glanced at it again (still briefly) but there is a difference that you can't use in Bridge.  Organizer has some shortcuts to fix images and creates a new version of the original.
    This is not possible in Bridge. Also the Output Module in Bridge has a different approach to the create section in Organizer.
    For me Bridge is the right tool and I'm sure "tweetybird" will benefit also after having learned a bit.
    Especially the menu tools/Photoshop and the options in there will give better results (and far more control) to 'fix' ( I rather speak of optimize ) files to your satisfaction
    But If you still need options from the create section that you will not have in the Output Module there is no objection to use Organizer for this by pointing it to the folder with finished files.
    Its just a matter of the right tool for the right job
