Bdc & Lsmw upgrade issues

Can anyone please let me know the issues faced while upgrading bdc & Lsmw from lower version to higher version.

Hi
The following problems can be encountered
1. Absence of certian screen fields.... usually the custom fields which are in lower version and not transported to higher version.
2. Screen flow might change. Thus make sure that screen flow defined in BDC is same as the actual screen flow in the transaction.
Regards,
Vara

BDC Related Upgrade issues

Hi every one,
I want to know wat are the issues while doing a version upgrade.
I have the knowledge of Dynpro missing ,
Screen Field related problem and Program itself missing the target system.
Pls .. tell me .some other issues...
Thanks Everyone in advance

Run the BDC and check for errors is the only way.
If you can change the BDC to BAPI or another FM then you should not have this problem in the future. As you can get problems with Upgrade, the same can also happen for support packs.

Report generation toolkit upgrade issues

I have created multiple vi's in that utilize the previous report generation toolkits specifically using the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi and the Generate Report Set Modified Data.vi. Obviously the report reference has now changed in 8.6's version of the report generation toolkit and these vi's do not exist in the 8.6 library anymore. What vi's do I need to replace these functions with to make this code work. Can anyone tell me what the work around is to solving this problem. This is a picture of the code.

Hi BJD1613,
The Report Generation VIs on the LabVIEW Palettes mutate properly. However, you may run into upgrade issues if VIs distributed with LabVIEW, but not available in the Palettes are used in the code. Hence, I would caution against using them for the same reason.
In this case, the specific references do exist in the report generation classes; however, since they are private, they cannot be accessed by VIs outside the respective classes. A temporary workaround for now is mentioned in the following KB 4OOCSJ4M Getting References in Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.3 with LabVIEW 8.6.
This was reported to R&D (CAR# 123064) for further investigation

Upgrade issues list needed

Hi,
We're currently on 4.6b and going to upgrade to ECC6 with unicode I'm trying to compile a list point taken care converting to unicode from ABAP technical point of view. Does anyone have such a list?
Some points i shortlisted are :
1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc.
3) OPEN DATASET filename IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.
I know there are others. Any help would be appreciated.

Best practice to upload data for Appraisals: BDC, LSMW or functional module

Hi,
I have heard that BDC and LSMW do not work for data upload in appraisals. Is it true?
Can we use ECATT or SECATT to upload data in appraisals?
I somewhere got the information that functional modules
HRHAP_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
HRHAP_DOC_UPDATE_BODY_AND_SAVE
HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CREATE
are used to upload the data for appraisals?
Many of my earlier clients found it very hectic to create appraisal templates every year (PHAP_CREATE). They needed something automated for this. I managed to suggest them manual upload or SECATT, but I am not sure if BDC/LSMW work for this.
Can somebody throw some light on this?
Best regards,
Veera Sasidhar Jangam

Hi,
You need to write a code for same and use function modules available as those does direct updates to database.
If client is not bothered about look and feel during dataload or do not care about display infotypes during data updates then use above method otherwise BDC needs to be written with screen control programming in it.
Thanks,
Ameet

LSMW - Upgrade Technical 4.7 to ECC 6.0

I am studying / researching ways to optimize the migration process of master data in the case of scenario of SAP version.
Anybody have any experience to share about the use of a scenario of LSMW upgrade of version? Or, hints to optimize the scenario.

There is no impact, the projects can still be used if you don't migrate to Unicode at the same time.

BDC LSMW basic understanding

hello...
I have gone through this forum on the basics of lsmw and bdc,
could any1 sumup when one would go for BDC and when LSMW?
I Would appreciate if anyone could come up with a real world scenario for having used BDC/ LSMW.
Thanks in advance -
hank,

Hi,
*Ws_upload is a FM which will transfer Presentation Server File to Internal Table ie it Uploads a file from the presentation server into an internal table.
upload is a FM which will transfer Presentation Server File to Internal Table with Len
Data which is available in a file on the presentation server is transferred in an internal table. ASCII and binary files can be transferred.
But both these FM's are obsolete - do not use . Use GUI_UPLOAD instead

Bdc,lsmw,bapi

hello all,
please tell me about difference between bdc , lsmw, bapi
Moderator Message: Search for available information before posting.
Edited by: kishan P on Dec 28, 2010 4:32 PM

Hi Karthik,
All the 3 can be used for the same purpose.
BDC - was the first provided by SAP for mass data entry in to SAP Database with Screen checks
LSMW - Originated as a 3rd party tool with many more functionalities and ease of use
BAPI - Some times the transaction screens changes, in those cases the BDC's fail as they purely refer to the screen elements. BAPI's provide a more consistent way to make entries in SAP systems without referencing the screen elements but still adhering to the underlying business logic, so the data entry is syntactically and semantically correct.
Hope this helps.

Gaurav
