Doubt in BDC direct input method

Hi experts
I dont know how to upload data in SAP data base by using BDC direct input coding method. Can u people explain this with coding?
Thanks in advance.

Antony

Hi,
DI is used when u r going upload large amount of data for single application.
Better example where direct input method will be used is... uploading the data for material master.....it includes lot of views so its very much difficult to capture all the views and record the tcode and map the data in such conditions its better to go with DI methods
advantages:
in session method or CT method while uploading the data u do the validation by fallowing the screen sequence and field sequence where as in DI validations can be done set of code so this make the process very fast so its advantageous to upload large amout of data.
you always use the standard sap provided program for this.
Here in DI method very important thing is structure of flat file... so to know the structure first of all you have to download the data for one record into the internal table with the use of the same program then with the use of that structure u have to desing the flat file and upload the data.

Can anybody tell me why "Direct Input Method of BDC" said to be Obselete?

Why it is said that "Direct Input Method of BDC" is obselete?

hi,
Direct Input:
A recent technique to input data safely. An alternative to batch input.
With direct input, the SAP function modules execute the consistency checks. However with batch input, these consistency checks are executed with help of the screens. This means that direct input has considerable performance advantages. But there are a few programs for direct input, you can use them if it accomplishes your goal. Direct Input programs work like that they update database tables directly. As you know that it is forbidden to update SAP database tables directly, since consistency and security should be considered. Exceptions are these direct input programs. So you are not able to write custom ABAP direct input programs. But of course you can write ABAP programs to update custom database tables (Z tables), if you are sure all about consistency.
SAP has created direct input programs because SAP wanted to enhance the batch input procedure, since batch input is slower. SAP offers the direct input technique, especially for transferring large amount of data. In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores, updates, inserts data directly. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. To maintain and start these programs, use program RBMVSHOW or transaction BMV0.
Examples for direct input programs are:
RFBIBL00 - FI
RMDATIND - MM
RVAFSS00 - SD
RAALTD11 - AM
RKEVEXTO - CO-PA
I hope it helps.

BDC-Direct Input

Please give an example for Direct Input method in BDC.When it is used? what is the advantage and disadvantage?

Hi Khanna Renga ,
Direct Input method is used for bulk transfer of data into SAP system.It results in faster execution since no screens are processed and the SAP database will be updated directly using the standard function modules.
Better example where direct input method will be used is... uploading the data for material master.....it includes lot of views so its very much difficult to capture all the views and record the tcode and map the data in such conditions its better to go with DI methods
Advantages:
in session method or Call Transaction method while uploading the data u do the validation by fallowing the screen sequence and field sequence where as in Direct Input validations can be done set of code so this make the process very fast so its advantageous to upload large amout of data.
you always use the standard sap provided program for this.

Difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW.

Hi all,
what is difference between batch input method and direct input method in LSMW. are they same?if differences are there tell me with details?

Hi,
Here are few differences bw Batch Input and Direct Inputs methods.
Batch Input: Uses classical BDC approach, but doesn't required an ABAP program to be written to format the BDC DATA. The user has to format the data using predefined structures and store it in a flat file. Yet it is a slower updation method.
Direct Input: Works similar to Batch Input programs. The difference is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. Much faster and suits for large volume of data.
Thanks.

LSMW direct input method

Hi
What is the procedure to include a specific program / report in the drop down box of program name of Direct Input method in LSMW?
What is the diff. between Physical path and Logical path?
How can we give our input data using logical path when we execute some standard batch or direct input programs?
Ex. RMDATIND.

LSMW updating problem with direct input method

Hi!
Using version 4.0.0 of the LSM Workbench from 2001-07-01 on SAP R/3 4.7, I need to update the purchase order text and wanted to use the direct input method. I found a tutorial on SAPTechnical which I followed. All went well, the input data was converted and at last I got the message:
"Long Texts in Total : 2
Successfully Transferred Long Texts : 2
Non-Transferred Long Texts : 0"
My trials are recorded in table STXH with date and time and also in the material master change history. However, the result in the material master is that the purchase order text is NOT updated.
Can anyone tell me why this might be?

Hi Santosh!
First of all, thank you very much for posting an answer. But unfortunately it was of no help. I want to update the purchase order text on a material that already has the purchasing and purchase order text views. When I compare the PO text before and after my "Successfuly Transferred Long Texts" there is no change. I hope that this make it more clear but it is still a mystery to me.

Call transaction in Direct input method

Hi All
how do i use call transaction in direct input method.
thanks all

Hi,
Direct input is different and Call transaction is different.
In Direct input method,the data will be uploaded directly into the table.
In call transaction you can change the data before uploading into dictionary table by using tcode
Ex for Direct input method

      str(255),
      END OF itab1.

Direct input method

Hi all,
Plz give me brief note on direct input method, what is the use..
AND
Why do we translate the scripts?
Thanks in advance
Venkat

hi,
direct input method is used for bulk transfer of data into SAP system.It results in faster execution since no screens are processed and the SAP database will be updated directly using the standard function modules.
Translation is used for translating the texts into the required languages.There is no other specific purpose exists.

Error Log in Direct Input Method of LSMW

Hello!
We are developing an upload through LSMW using its direct input method for material master. This method is better than the Recording method but the only problem we are having is maintaining the error log. Unlike the recording method, in direct input the system gives an error log but it cant me maintained in a permanent file i.e when we go back to the upload for specifying a new file, the error log of the previous file is gone.
Is there any way that we can maintain the error log in a permanent file? Help needed ASAP!
Thank You!
Regards
Sahar

When i enter %PC in the command field the system gives following information
Function code cannot be selected
     Message no. 00255
Diagnosis
     You entered an inactive function code.
     You can trigger this by:
     o   inputting directly in the OK code field,
     o   inputting the fastpath of an inactive menu function,
     o   choosing an inactive function key, or even by
     o   choosing ENTER, if ENTER has an inactive function.
     In batch input, a function code is included in field BDC_OKCODE of the
     session, if this function code is not assigned to ENTER.

Korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3

Hello,
I need to use the korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3
but I can not find the icon or some bars to choose for the direct input in korean input menu.
the korean direct input is used to be in Mac OS X 10.3
can someone help me out?
I really need this function.
Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5G Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Yes, it makes different when I tied with boris graffiti 4.0.
when I type korean word in boris graffiti program using "direct input" on mac os x 10.3, there is no promblem typing korean.
But using "syllable" in mac os x 10.4, when I type the korean letter, it automatical erase the word that I typed.
for example, if I type "gift to my friend" in korean, I try to type "g" and when I type "i", "g" is erased.
And using "word" option, the problem is whenever I use space bar or enter key between word, and try to enter the next word, the previous word I typed is erased,
for example, "gift to my friend", I type "gift" and I need to enter space between "gift" and "to",
so after press the spase bar, and try to type "to", the "gift" is erased.
I hope that you could understand what I tring to explain, and I was wondering if there is any solution for this problem.

LSMW - Standard Batch/Direct Input Method.

Hi all,
I was trying to create the LSMW for MM01 using standard Batch/Direct Input Method. While I selected object as "0020- Material Master" I am not able to get the Method for Batch Input. Is there any we can create method for batch input or we have to use only direct input?

You have to use direct input method RMDATIND object 0020 to create materials. You may find batch input very complicated to create materials.
