Advantage of using BDC

Hi Experts,
What is the advantage of using BDC upload??. Even if there is only a single record , that record should be uploaded through a BDC program. I can upload the data through a report also. Then why BDC is preffered?

The purpose of the Batch Data Communication is to transfer data. The BDC can transfer data from one SAP System to another SAP System or can transfer data from non-SAP System to SAP System too. To transfer data BDC uses normal transaction codes. Two methods are provided to BDC to do this work.
SAP has provided two different types of methods for BDC to do its work. Among these, the first one is called the classical method or session method. Through this method the data can be read by the BDC program from a sequential dataset file. This sequential dataset file is stored in batch-input session. In order to .run the transaction in this session, what one needs is to execute the session. For this, follow these few steps: you can start and subsequently monitor the session firstly from System à Services à Batch Input or have the session run in the background. In this method to generate the required session, you have to use the function module BDC _ NSERT and BDC _CLOSE.
In the second method the BDC has to use the ABAP statement CALL TRANSACTION USING statement to run a transaction. In the second method, unlike in the first type, you do not need BDC to create a session.
when comming to ur question... generally bdc are used to uplad large amount of data. mostly not used for single record...
once if u have a bdc prg then u can call it to uplad more than a single record.... any time.....

Wht r the advantages of using bdc rathan than lsmw?

Hi , I want to knwo.. wht r the advangtages of using bdc rathan than lsmw.,,,

Hi,
LSMW and BDC are vastly different.
BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer.
it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer,
the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/background processing.
LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system.
it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs.
it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system
or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Session method is to populate the data by filling BDC structure
and keep as session to process from SM37 to post in appropriate Transaction.
Call transaction method is to post the data directly into the Transaction from an Executable program.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.

LSMW:
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
Batch input
Direct input
BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
Clear interactive process guide
Interface for data in spreadsheet format
Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
Charge-free for SAP customers and SAP partners

Data upload for vendor balances using BDC

hi abap experts,
I have a requirement on data uploading using BDC.
For the vendor balances ie. for transaction FBL1N ( I was given a template for vendor balance upload and need to write a BDC program for that ) I need upload the exsisting transaction data to the system. is recording necessary for this?
can u pls help me with step by step process for vendor balance uploading.
Thanks,
Hema.

Hi
Please follow the following Steps:
Steps for recording:
Step1: Goto TCODE SHDB
Step2: Click on New Recording
Step3: Give the necessary Details such as TOCDE, Desc, ...
Step4: Do the screen by screen recording.(Please avoid extra screen to appear)
Step5: Save the recording.
Step6. Select the recording and click on Program button on toolbar.
Step7: Give the Program name and click on radio button Transfer from recording.
Step 8: It will open a new session with SE38 and a program with the recoding.
Step 9: then just add the basic code for BDC.

If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well? I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well? I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

No, it only mirrors changes to synced data. This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data). Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud. In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

I want in LSMW SAME CODING. THIS IS USING BDC CALL TRANSACTION

Hi
Go through the doc and do the same using LSMW
BDC is the way to transfer data by writing a batch input program which can use either session or call transaction method.
LSMW used to transfer data without/less code.
What type of data we transfer using LSMW?
LSMW is best suited for transferring master data.
Actually BDC and LSMW are not comparable at all.
for example LSMW itself can use BDC as a way of mass data transfer.
BDC is a mass data transfer technique via screen logic of existing SAP Data entry transactions. It behaves as if you are manually making thousand of entires into sap system as a background job. And that is probably the reason why BAPI's are preffered over BDC's.
On the other hand LSMW is a tool to facilitate DATA migration from other legacy systems ... It contains step by step procedure for data migration.
Like Managing Data Migration Projects , Creating Source Structures , Mapping Source structures wid Target structures , etc etc
LSMW internally might well be using the following techniqes for data transfer..
1. IDOX
2. Direct Input / BDC
4. BAPI's
LSMW is an encapsulated data transfer tool. It can provide the same functionality as BDC infact much more but when coming to techinical perspective most the parameters are encapulated. To listout some of the differences :
LSMW is basicaly designed for a fuctional consultant who do not do much coding but need to explore the fuctionality while BDC is designed for a technical consultant.
LSMW offers different techinque for migrating data: Direct input ,BAPI,Idoc,Batch input recording. While bdc basically uses recording.
LSMW mapping is done by SAP while in BDC we have to do it explicitly .
LSMW is basically for standard SAP application while bdc basically for customized application.
Coding can be done flexibly in BDC when compared to LSMW
1. Maintain Attributes:
Here you have to choose the second option and you can do the recording how this should work. Then assign the same to the Batch Input Recording name.
2. Maintain Source structure:
Create a structure name
3. Maintain Source field:
In this you have to create a structure same as that of the input file
eg: name
age
4. Maintain structure relations:
This will link the structure to the input file.
5. Maintain field mapping and conversion rules:
Here is the place where you can do coding, depending upon the code you have written or assignment you have done the values will get picked up from the file and get processed.
6. Maintain field mapping and conversion rules:
If you have any fixed values you can define here.
7. Specify files:
Specify the input file path and type.
8. Assign files:
This will assign ur file to the Input file
9. Read Data:
This will read ur data from teh file.
10. Dispaly Read Data:
You can see the uploaded data
11. Convert Data
This will convert the data to the corresponding format for processing
12. Display Converted data:
13. Create batch input session
Here this will create a batch input session for processing
14. Run Batch Input session:
By clicking on the session and process the same you can do teh needfu.

thank you.

Hi,
You can go for mode 'E'.. it will display the output screen directly and if there is any error in the transaction you would get that particular screen and you can correct and continue after which you will get the final screen if anything goes fine...
check this sample code....
I had a program if you execute below program it automatically creates a new zprogram.

Can you help me ?

ekadevi S

Thanks for your quick response, Michael!
I have another question on import. I imported a folder and it got imported with a warning (A folder named 'Folder Name' was created or modified during the import but is not in a business area
Import completed, but with warnings. Please check the result.
I can see the folder in the database table. Is there a way to add this folder to the business area? Or my only option is to delete the folder out of EUL?
Thanks once again!

Call transaction using bdc tab and also skip first screen??

Hi,
Please help.
I want to call transaction PA30 fill it with values which are determined only at runtime and then skip first screen.
The screen doesn't have parameter fields so i cannot use 'set parameter id'.
I also cannot create a transaction with parameters as I only have these at runtime.
Anyone done anything like this???

hi,
you might be populateing the itab bdc_tab with the corresponding values fronm the recording.
while doing the recording go until to the screen wher u want to finsih.
and populate the bdc_tab wit the ok code,screen number and the value.
this will do.

Creation of PO using BDC with ME21N - Urgent

Hi All,
My requirement is to create a Purchase Order using BDC. I'm using ME21N for BDC. I did recording and using that recording I wrote a program for BDC. BDC table is populated correctly, but while calling ME21N using call transaction, program is cuming back to the selection screen, without creating PO. And sy-subrc value after call transaction is '0'. Please let me know the problem.
Thanks in Advance.
Siva Sankar.

Hi,
Put a break point after the call transaction statement(i.e, put break point on sy-subrc check)
and then check the message table.
if call transaction is suceessfull u will find a success messages in the I_messages table.

Creation of Material using BDC Session method & global class

Hi
Creation of Material using BDC Session method & global class by using oops.
can anyone plz help me out

Hi,
it looks like it's not possible to call this BAPI wihtout material number. Here is a quote from BAPI documentation.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material
number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You
must also enter a material description and its language.

Change transaction using BDC-problem for large number of lines on screen

Hi All,
I am developing BAPI (using BDC) which creates quality notification in SAP which is entered via front end web application. Structure p_qmsm contain 3 lines of task in notification. The code is as given below. To avoid problem of large no of lines on screen,code lines starting with * is used. This actually for pagedown after entering every 2 lines and creates new line. so that 2 lines always push up on screen and there will not be problem for creating large no of lines on screen

The same code is used in modify mode also. web application is sending all 3 lines in modify mode even if single line is modified. It is already decided to send all rows back from web application to SAP in same sequence. It is working fine if i comment 5 lines which is starting with *. But in modify mode, how can i ensure that correct row is modified? and how can i achieve problem of large no of lines on screen?Please suggest?

Hi yogesh,
how can i ensure that correct row is modified?
1. For this we need to know two things ;
   a) the database table in which the entries are already stored
   b) the sequence in which they are displayed in the transaction.
2. So before changing any line, we need to compare (the primary key values / important values)
   a) as per the database table and as per the incoming data from web application (using bapi)
b) if the match is ok, it means that particular row was not modified, else modified.
how can i achieve problem of large no of lines on screen?
1. For this I am not sure about the transaction and its screen. Manytimes for appending row on the screen,
there is a PLUS + button on the grid toolbar. So for every entry, (inspite of some empty/filled rows already visible on the screen), we should use the + button, and this new row always appears on the top i.e. row number 1.
hope this helps.

amit m.

Creating Sales order texts while using BDC session method is not working

I have an existing program which creates sales order using BDC session method.( Actual program uses BAPI to create sales order and in case if any error occurs during creation of sales order BDC session is generated so that user can process it later and i am facing issues in this part of code where it uses BDC)
I wanted to modify this BDC sesion to update the sales order text also. I tried recording VA01 for creationg sales order text unfortunatly it is not capturing the data i am entering in the text fields.
Please suggest if there is any way to create sales order using BDC.
