Disadvantages of Using BDCs in enhancements

Hi All,
Could anybody please tell me what are the possible disadvantages of using BDCs in a complex enhancement.
Thanks,
Anirban.

Hi,
One of the very common disadvantage of the BDC is that it doesnt take into account the configuration settings of the screen. Suppose you make any changes in the screen fields (e.g. you make some of the fields in the screen non editable or you make the fields invisible), in this case BDC will throw an error message beacuse the screen mentioned will now no more contain that field or the field will now no more will be an input field.
If at all there is change in the screen settings or transaction look and feel is changed or screen manouvering is changed in the transaction then the BDC will fail and will give error messages.
This is the major disadvantage of using a BDC

Disadvantages of Using BDC over BAPI

Hello ,
could you please clear my confusion as why BDC are not supposed to be used for data uploading over bapis.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between BDC and BAPI
thanks in Advance
PAvan

Hi Pavan,
BDC is slower because it additionally processes the screens. This is a big disadvantage (could be more than 10 times slower). An advantage on BDC processing is that you can later view an process the data manually.
With BAPIs (which are not necessarily OO) you have to have some error handling in place if one of the imported data sets fails (sometimes done with restartable jobs, look for example into the documentation of RFBIBL00).
Also, as already mentioned, changes of the screen layout and/or the GUI status will very likely make your BDC sessions fail (no matter these changes were caused by customising settings or a patch).

What are the drawbacks or disadvantages of using LSMW

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what could be the possible disadvantages of using LSMW and also some disadvantages of BAPI.
Regards,
MD.

Hi MD.
I would like to suggest a couple of disadvantages of LSMW.
Here are a few scenarios------>
1. Time consumption -
> IDOC processing plays a vital role. The changes made to the IDOC is therefore very time consuming.
2. In term of BAPI -
> Incomplete in terms of input fields of a particular transaction, rather it is not always complete.
3. In terms of Direct Input -
> No enjoy transactions and incomplete in terms of input fields of a particular transaction.
4. In terms of Batch input -
> Slow in terms of new recordings to be done, but BDCs are much simpler in that terms.
This factor also depends upon the user settings, The kind of processing which is foreground and background.
Hope that's usefull.
Good Luck & Regards.

Advantages and Disadvantages of using Nintex forms. is this product useful?

So my company has decided to start developing using Nintex products, we initially had Nintex Workflow and now they are thinking of purchasing Nintex forms. and i was asked to start trying it out.
I am currently midway through the development of a sharepoint app and i really like the REST APIs available in sharepoint 2013 as they enable me to develop using javascript and HTML5, quite basic stuff but very powerful.
Now they are asking me to try this black boxed product out, so i have to waste a couple of days on this...
I watched a couple of youtube videos and all they brag about is how easy it is to drag and drop components on the screen and visually design a form when this is the feature i care about the least. To me what counts most is how easy it would be to customize
the form to do something that was not foreseen in the black box product.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of using Nintex forms over using Javascript/HTML 5/Sharepoint REST ?
many thanks

With a developer hat on, I can appreciate that custom solutions can potentially be easier to build and manipulate, as you are not adopting anyone's framework and may have less constraints building with a blank canvas each time.
With a business owner or business analyst hat on, there are many advantages for using a product or application to build repeatable solutions such as forms.
SharePoint can quickly fall into demise if users (end user or super user) have free reign to build and deploy custom solutions, as they may or may not follow a consistent build pattern, and even other super users or developers can have difficulties interpreting
and adopting solutions, should someone (such as yourself) leave an organisation.
This is where products can provide significant return on investment. Products such as Nintex are built by experts in more than HTML, REST and JavaScript, but SharePoint as well. They provide a framework which ensures Form and Workflow designers follow a consistent
approach, and each solution can quickly be viewed and interpreted by other users.
Data gathering (forms) and workflow are also usually repeatable and work. I.e. in most organisation you need more than one of each. Products targeted to repeatable tasks are more efficient and accurate than custom code solutions and follow a more consistent
and defined approach in building t
Product solutions are continually developed and enhanced - which can be applied to existing creations. E.g. if Nintex Forms deploy an upgrade, all existing forms now have this functionality. There is no manual code updates required. That, and they are also
supported.
There is definitely a place for custom development in SharePoint, but for the purposes of quickly repeatable solutions such as forms & workflow, there should be a decent amount of analysis into requirements before taking the custom route.

BDC and enhancement

Hi experts,
I wonder if the BDC can trigger the enhancement?I want to use BDC to create a PM notification(IW21),but TCODE IW21 has been enhanced by enhacement,so anyone can tell me if the enhancement will be trigger or not ?

Hi Damon,
I dont have SAP access at this point, but i suggest you to execute the BAPI by filling the required import and Table(if exist) and execute and before this put a break point in the Enhancement
This serves a Proof of Concept which is self explanatory and provide you more insight into the BAPI functioning related to enhancements( I Thought of doing this for you but as i said i am not having SAP access, Hope you understand)
I request the Experts to provide clarity on why the Implicit Enhancements are not triggered when a BAPI is used

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.

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.

How to display the output screen when I use bdc.

hey expert,
I want to display the output screen when i use bdc without using mode 'A'.
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.
REPORT zprogram_create_recording.
PARAMETER:
p_prog    TYPE sy-repid OBLIGATORY,
p_shtxt TYPE repti OBLIGATORY,
p_pack TYPE devclass DEFAULT '$tmp'.
DATA:
t_bdcdata LIKE
   STANDARD TABLE
         OF bdcdata.
DATA:
wa_bdcdata LIKE LINE OF t_bdcdata.
REFRESH t_bdcdata.
CLEAR wa_bdcdata.
wa_bdcdata-program    = 'SAPLWBABAP'.
wa_bdcdata-dynpro     = '0100'.
wa_bdcdata-dynbegin   = 'X'.
wa_bdcdata-fnam       = 'RS38M-PROGRAMM'.
wa_bdcdata-fval       = p_prog.

Capturing EPC error List into a local file using BDC

Can anyone let me know the Code for downloading the EPC check Results into a local File using BDC...[<b></b>

You can use the function module
EXTENDED_PROGRAM_CHECK to get the errors and warnigs of a epc for a program.
then you can download that internal table information using GUI_DOWNLOAD fm.

Disadvantages of using "0" zero as first value in a generated sequence

Does anyone have any experience with the benefits/disadvantages of using a value of 0 "zero" as the first value generated in a sequence that is also populated in a table. My past experience has always used the values of 1 "one" as the first generated value from a sequence.
Thanks

Benefit: You get use one "more" number from the list of values that can possibly be generated by the sequence. If you are start from '1', you have missed out on '0' :-)
Disadvantages: If any of the queries have predicate like "sequence_generated_column_value > 0" and that your sequence starts from zero, the record with sequence_generated_column_value=0 will not appear in result set for that query (assuming it satisfies other conditions).
May be there are many mores benefits/disadvantages to add to this list :-)

Error while posting business area to TCODE J1IH using BDC

Hi ,
Using BDC i am trying to post values to J1IH.
Here, the business area is not getting posted.
Can you help me ?
regards
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.
for eg see the code below.
METHOD analyze_log.
DATA : wrk_extid TYPE balhdr-extnumber.
DATA : wrk_date(10) TYPE c.
DATA : it_rspar TYPE TABLE OF rsparams .
DATA : wa_rspar TYPE rsparams.

      wa_bdcdata TYPE bdcdata.
DATA: params TYPE ctu_params.
CONSTANTS : object TYPE balhdr-object VALUE 'ZKIV_LOG'.
IF wa_kopf-vertr_nr IS NOT INITIAL.
    CONCATENATE wa_kopf-vertr_nr '/' wa_kopf-nachtr_nr INTO wrk_extid.
    wrk_date = '01.09.2006'.
    SET PARAMETER ID 'BALOBJ' FIELD object .
    SET PARAMETER ID 'BALEXT' FIELD wrk_extid.
    wa_rspar-selname = 'ALDATE'.
    wa_rspar-sign = 'I'.
    wa_rspar-kind = 'P'.
    wa_rspar-option = 'EQ'.
    wa_rspar-low = wrk_date.
    APPEND wa_rspar TO it_rspar.
ELSE.
    CLEAR wrk_extid.
    SET PARAMETER ID 'BALEXT' FIELD wrk_extid.
