    Could anyone please provide a step by step guide on LSMW.
    Regards
    Indrajit

    Hi Indrajit,
    Please find the Step by Step process.
    Step-by-Step Guide for using BAPI in LSMW
    The screen prints in this article are from ECC 5.0. They may differ slightly in other versions.
    Introduction:
    This document details the usage of BAPI in LSMW. We have used the example of migration of the purchase order data into SAP.
    Pre-requisites:
    It is assumed that the reader of this article has the minimum knowledge required on the Business Object, BAPI, Message Types and IDoc Types.
    Step-by-Step Procedure:
    Details of the BAPI used in this scenario:
    Business Object: BUS2012
    Method: CreateFromData
    Details of Message Type and Basic IDoc Type:
    Message Type: PORDCR
    Basic IDoc Type: PORDCR02
    Let’s have a look at the BAPI first, before proceeding to the LSMW:
    1. Go to Transaction BAPI
    2. Click on Search Button
    3. Enter the value “BUS2012” and select “Obj.type(Technical Object Name”
    4. Press ENTER
    5. Following screen appears:
    6. On the left side of the screen, Expand the “PurchaseOrder”.
    7. Select “PurchaseOrder” and double-click on the same for details.
    Building LSMW using BAPI:
    1. Go to Transaction LSMW.
    2. Enter the Project, Subproject and Object information and click on CREATE.
    3. Enter the descriptions for Project, Subproject and Object as prompted.
    4. Now select Settings à IDoc Inbound Processing
    5. “IDoc Inbound Processing” screen appears. Enter the required details as shown below:
    6. Click on “Activate IDoc Inbound Processing”.
    7. Click on “Yes” when prompted for “Activate IDoc Inbound?”
    8. Hit on “Back” to return to the main screen.
    9. Click on Continue (F8). Following Screen appears:
    10. Select the Step 1 “Maintain Object Attributes” and select “Execute”.
    11. Select the radio button “Business Object Method” and enter the following details:
    Business Object: BUS2012
    Method: CreateFromData
    Hit ENTER
    12. Save and click on BACK button. Following information message is displayed.
    13. Now select step 2 “Maintain Source Structures” and click “Execute”.
    14. In this step, we need to maintain the source structure. In our example, lets consider the example of a file with 2 structures Head and Item data as shown below:
    Click on Create and name the source structure as HEADERDATA. Now select HEADERDATA and click on “Create” again to create the child structure. Following popup appears:
    Select “Lower Level” and click on Continue. Enter the Item data structure name.
    Click Save and hit BACK button to go to the main screen.
    15. Select step 3 “Maintain Source Fields” and hit execute.
    16. Enter the fields as shown below:
    17. Click SAVE and return to main screen.
    18. Select step 4 “Maintain Structure Relations” and click Execute.
    Select E1PORDCR and click on CREATE RelationShip. Following screen appears:
    Select HEADERDATA and hit ENTER
    Similarly do the same for the structure E1BPEKKOA, E1BPEKPOC and E1BPPEKET.
    Click Save and return to main screen.
    19. Select the step “Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules” and click on execute. Maintain the Field Mapping as seen below:
    20. Select step 7 “Maintain Source Files” and provide the link for the test file created. (Create a test file with the same structure as defined earlier).
    Save and return to main screen.
    21. Select the step “Assign Files” and click on Execute.
    Assign the file provided to the source structure. Here the same file is provided for both the structures.
    Save and return to the main screen.
    22. Select the step “Read Data” and click on Execute.
    Click on Execute.
    Return to the main screen.
    23. Select the step “Display read data” and click on execute.
    Click on the structure name to get the field level values.
    24. Return to main screen and now select “Convert Data”.
    25. Return to the main screen and select “Display Converted data”.
    26. Return to main screen and select “Start IDoc generation”.
    27. Now select the step “Start IDoc Processing” on the main screen.
    28. Return to main screen and click on “Create IDoc overview”. Here the data record and status records of the IDoc could be viewed:

  • Step by step instruction for Using LSMW Recoding method for Material Master

    Guys,
    Can some one explain step by step procedure for uploading the materials master data to R/3 by using LSMW Recoding method. By the time you reply I will go through the rule of uploading the data..
    Thanks guys,
    Dhanu.

    Hi,
    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.
    The LSM Workbench covers the following steps:
    (1)Read the legacy data from one or several files (e.g. spreadsheet tables, sequential files)
    (2)Convert the data from source format to target format
    (3)Import the data using standard interfaces (Batch Input, Direct Input, BAPI, IDoc).
    The Steps for LSME are:
    Example: Customer Master upload:
    LSMW to Update Customer Master Records with Transaction Recording
    Call Legacy System Migration Workbench by entering transaction code LSMW. Every conversion task is grouped together as Project / Subproject / Object structure. Create a Project called LSMW_DEMO and a Subproject as CUSTOMERS and Object as CUST_REC
    Step 1: Maintain Object attributes
    In this example, you will be updating the customer master records with the help of recording a transaction (XD02). Choose radio button Batch Input Recording and click on the recording overview icon to record the R/3 transaction. Enter the Recording name as XD02_REC, the description as Customer Master Updates Recording, and the transaction code as XD02.
    Step 2. Maintain Source Structures
    Give a name and a description to the source structure
    Step 3. Maintain Source Fields
    In this step, you need to list what fields are present in the source structure. The easiest way is to click on u2018Table Maintenanceu2019 icon to enter Fieldname, Type and Length for each field
    Step 4: Maintain Structure Relations
    Execute a step to u2018Maintain Structure Relationsu2019. Since, there is only one Source and Target Structure, the relationship is defaulted automatically.
    Step 5: Maintain field mapping and conversion rules
    Field RF02D-D0310 represents that you chose u2018Sales viewu2019 for the customer Master screen accordingly its value should be set to X. Keep your cursor on field RF02D-D0310 and click on Constant rule icon to choose the constant value of u2018Xu2019.
    If your source file already has the field value, you choose rule u2018Source Fieldu2019.
    Keep cursor on field u2018KUNNRu2019 and click on u2018Assign Source fieldu2019 icon to choose source field CUSTOMER from structure XD02S
    Step 6: Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines
    You can also maintain re-usable translations and user-defined routines, which can be used across conversion tasks. In this case, that step is not required.
    Step 7: Specify files
    In this step, we define how the layout of the input file is. The input file is a [Tab] delimited with the first row as field names. It is present on my PC (local drive) as C:\XD02.txt.
    Step 8: Assign files
    Execute step u2018Assign Filesu2019 and the system automatically defaults the filename to the source structure.
    Step 9: Read data
    In this step, LSMW reads the data from the source file (from your PCu2019s local drive). You have the option to read only selected rows and convert data values to Internal format.
    Step 10: Display read data
    This step is optional. If required, you can review the field contents for the rows of data read.
    Step 11: Convert data
    This is the step that actually converts the source data (in source format) to a target format. Based on the conversion rules defined, source fields are mapped to target fields.
    Step 12: Display Converted data
    Again this is an optional step to view how the source data is converted to internal SAP format
    Step 13: Create batch input session
    Once the source data is converted in an internal format, you can create a batch session to process updates.
    Step 14: Run Batch Input Session
    You can execute the BDC session by Run Batch input session. Executing a batch input session is a standard SM35 transaction for managing BDC sessions. Once you have successfully executed the batch input session, the customer master records are updated in the system. You can confirm this by viewing the customer master records (XD03).

    Hi Abap Gurus,
    I very new to abap and this site.
    Can any body provide the  step by step procedure in lsmw.
    I can give points to good answers.

    Hi rangamma,
    can U go through this info.
    Step-by-Step Guide for using LSMW to Update Customer Master Records
    Note! The screenprints in this article are from IDES Release 4.6. They may differ slightly in other versions.
    Call Legacy System Migration Workbench by entering transaction code LSMW. Every conversion task is grouped together as Project / Subproject / Object structure. Create a Project called LSMW_DEMO and a Subproject as CUSTOMERS and Object as CUST_REC as shown in Figure 1.
    Figure 1                Conversion Task with Project, Subproject and Object
    The main screen of LSMW provides wizard-like step-by-step tasks, as shown in Figure 2. To complete your data conversion, you need to execute these steps in sequence. Once a step is executed, the cursor is automatically positioned to the next step.
    Note that these steps may look different depending upon your Personal menu settings. You could make step numbers visible by ‘Numbers on’ icon or hidden by ‘Numbers off’ icon. You can execute a step by double-clicking on the row. Toggle icon ‘Doubleclick=Display’ or ‘Doubleclick=Edit’, makes the step in ‘display’ mode or ‘change’ mode.
    Figure 2 LSMW Wizard – initial screen
    Step 1: Maintain Object attributes
    In this example, you will be updating the customer master records with the help of recording a transaction (XD02). Choose radio button Batch Input Recording and click on the recording overview icon to record the R/3 transaction. Enter the Recording name as XD02_REC, the description as Customer Master Updates Recording, and the transaction code as XD02.
    Figure 3                Object type ‘Transaction Recording’
    The system calls the transaction code XD02 and prompts you to complete the Change
    Customer transaction, as shown in Figure 4. Enter the key customer information (I entered customer number 1000, sales organization 1000, distribution channel 01, and division 00) and choose ‘Sales’ view within ‘Sales area data’. Make changes to these three fields (I entered, sales office 1010, sales group 110, and customer group 01) and save the transaction.
    Figure 4                Transaction recording for Transaction Code ‘XD02’
    Once the transaction is completed, R/3 records the flow of screens and fields and saves the information, as shown in Figure 5.
    Default Values
    Field Names
    Figure 5                Transaction recording overview
    Note that the fields are populated with default values. The values you entered when you recorded the transaction are set by default.
    Note that if you have more fields in the recording than needed, you can remove them by clicking ‘Remove Screen field’ icon.
    Observe that the transaction-recording process stores field names in a technical format. By pressing the F1 key on individual screen fields and then pressing the F9 key, the system displays technical names. You then can replace the technical names with descriptive names. Double-click on the field RF02D-KUNNR and enter the name as KUNNR and the description as Customer Account Number and remove the default value. (See Figure 6.)
    Figure 6                Field attributes
    Similarly, double-click on all other fields with default values and make appropriate changes. Once you have made changes, the recording overview screen looks like what you see in Figure 7.
    Figure 7                Transaction Recording Overview – with screen field attributes
    Save your changes. When you go back to the initial screen, you will see that the initial screen steps have changed. Since you want to import data via the BDC method, the Direct Input and IDoc-related steps are hidden, as they are not relevant.
    Step 2. Maintain Source Structures
    Give a name and a description to the source structure (Figure 8). 
    Figure 8                Source Structure
    Step 3. Maintain Source Fields
    In this step, you need to list what fields are present in the source structure. The easiest way is to click on ‘Table Maintenance’ icon to enter Fieldname, Type and Length for each field  as shown in Figure 9. 
    Figure 9                Source fields of source Structure
    Note that your input file will have four fields as key fields and you need to update three fields in the system.
    Step 4: Maintain Structure Relations
    Execute a step to ‘Maintain Structure Relations’. (See Figure 10.) Since, there is only one Source and Target Structure, the relationship is defaulted automatically. 
    Figure 10  Structure Relation
    Step 5: Maintain field mapping and conversion rules
    Field RF02D-D0310 represents that you chose ‘Sales view’ for the customer Master screen accordingly its value should be set to X. Keep your cursor on field RF02D-D0310 and click on Constant rule icon to choose the constant value of ‘X’. 
    If your source file already has the field value, you choose rule ‘Source Field’. 
    Keep cursor on field ‘KUNNR’ and click on ‘Assign Source field’ icon to choose source field CUSTOMER from structure XD02S as shown in Figure 11.
    Figure 11 Assign source fields
    Similarly, assign ‘Source Field’ rules to the remaining fields. 
    Once all the fields are mapped, you should have an overview screen as shown in Figure 12.
    Figure 12 Field mapping and Conversion rules overview
    Step 6: Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines
    You can also maintain re-usable translations and user-defined routines, which can be used across conversion tasks. In this case, that step is not required.
    Step 7: Specify files
    In this step, we define how the layout of the input file is. The input file is a [Tab] delimited with the first row as field names. It is present on my PC (local drive) as C:\XD02.txt. (See Figure 13.)
    figure 13 File attributes
    Create an Excel file (Figure 14) with your data and save it as a Tab-delimited text file on your local drive (C:\) and name it XD02.txt.
    Figure 14  Source data in Excel file (saved as Tab delimited file)
    Step 8: Assign files
    Execute step ‘Assign Files’ (Figure 15) and the system automatically defaults the filename to the source structure.
    Figure 15 Assign file to Source Structure
    Step 9: Read data
    In this step, LSMW reads the data (Figure 16) from the source file (from your PC’s local drive). You have the option to read only selected rows and convert data values to Internal format. 
    Figure 16 Read Data
    Step 10: Display read data
    This step (Figure 17) is optional. If required, you can review the field contents for the rows of data read.
    Figure 17 Display Read Data
    Step 11: Convert data
    This is the step that actually converts the source data (in source format) to a target format. Based on the conversion rules defined, source fields are mapped to target fields.
    Step 12: Display Converted data
    Again this is an optional step to view how the source data is converted to internal SAP format (Figure 18). 
    Figure 18 Display Converted Data
    Step 13: Create batch input session
    Once the source data is converted in an internal format, you can create a batch session to process updates (Figure 19). 
    Figure 19 Create Batch Input Session
    Step 14: Run Batch Input Session
    You can execute the BDC session by Run Batch input session. Executing a batch input session is a standard SM35 transaction for managing BDC sessions. Once you have successfully executed the batch input session, the customer master records are updated in the system. You can confirm this by viewing the customer master records (XD03).
    Note! Browsing thru these 14 steps, you may get a feeling that this is a very lengthy and time-consuming activity. However, for the purposes of demonstration, I have made it detailed. Although it looks lengthy, actually it takes hardly few hours from start-to-finish! After playing around with few simple LSMW scripts, you will find it so easy to change and create more complex ones.

    BDC or Batch Input Program Tips and Tricks
    Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
    The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
    Normally, the tcode SHDB will be used to record the transaction code the user used. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
    Learning BDC Programming
    I want to learn how to upload data using BDC. If I have a excel data file how will upload it using BDC. I don't know the full process of doing it, if someone help me in this. I want it using BDC session process and processing that session. I was trying to upload material master other day. But could not follow the process of uploading using BDC though I know LSMW. Please explain me the BDC process in details with examples.
    For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
    Steps:
    1. Work out the transaction you would use to create the data manually.
    2. Use transaction SHDB to record the creation of one material master data.
    Click the New recording button or the Menu - Recording - Create
    3. Save the recording, and then go back a screen and go to the overview.
    4. Select the recording and click on Edit - Create Program. Give the program a Z name, and select transfer from recording.
    5. Edit the program. You will see that all the data you entered is hard-coded into the program. You need to make the following changes:
    5.1 After the start-of-selection, Call ws_upload to upload the file (the excel file needs to be saved as TAB separated).
    5.2 After the open-group, Loop on the uploaded data. For each line, perform validation checks on the data, then modify the perform bdc_field commands to use the file data.
    5.3. After perform bdc_transaction, add the endloop.
    Execute the program. It will have options to create a batch session or to process directly.
    These are all my finds . Might be it will be useful to you.
    Direct call of transactions, session handling:
    /nxxxx This terminates the current transaction, and starts transaction xxxx
    /n This terminates the transaction. This generally corresponds to pressing F15 to go back.
    /nend This termiantes all separate sessions and logs off (corresponds to System - Logoff).
    /nex This terminates all separate sessions and logs off immediately (without any warning!).
    /oxxxx This opens a new session and starts transaction xxxx in This session.
    /o This lists existing sessions and allows deletion or opening of a new session.
    /i This terminates the current session (corresponds to System End
    /i1, /i2,... This terminates the session with the number given.
    .xyzw Fast path: 'xyzw' refers to the underlined letters in the menus. This type of navigation is uncommon and is provided more for emergencies (such as a defective mouse).
    Batch
    The following commands can be entered in correction mode ('Process in foreground' or 'Display errors only') when processing a batch input session:
    /n This terminates the current batch input transaction and characterizes it as
    /bdel This deletes the current batch input transaction.
    /bend This terminates batch input processing and sets the session to Failed
    /bda This switches from Display errors only to Process in foreground
    /bde This switches from Process in foreground to Display errors only
    ABAP/4
    /h This switches into debugging mode.
    /hs This switches into debugging mode and activates the debugging of system functions.
    Buffer
    WARNING: Resetting buffers can significantly change the performance of the entire system for a long time.
    It should therefore only be used where there is a good reason tdso. As of release 3.0B system administator authorization is required (authorization object (S_ADMI_FCD). The action is noted in the system log.
    /$SYNC This resets all buffers of the application server
    /$CUA This resets the CUA buffer of the application server
    /$TAB This resets the TABLE buffers of the application server
    /$NAM This resets the nametab buffer of the application server
    /$DYNP This resets the screen buffer of the application server
    and also see these following links.

    11. Defining Common Distribution Channels for Master Data
    The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
    Procedure
    Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
    IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels
    Transaction Code: VOR1
    12. Defining Common Divisions for Master Data

    The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
    Procedure
    Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
    IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division
    Transaction Code: VOR2
    Pricing Procedure
    In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
    In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
    Step 1:
    Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
    Step 2:
    Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
    Step 3:
    Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
    Step 4:
    a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG -> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
    b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG -> Determine Pricing Procedure.
    5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
    Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
    Step 1: Sales Document Type
    IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
    Sales Document Header:
    1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
    2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
    3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
    A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
    B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
    Sales Document Item:
    1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
    2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
    Schedule Line:
    1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
    2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
    Step 2:
    IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
    1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
    2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
    3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
    Step 3:
    IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
    1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
    2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
    3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as
    Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
    The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.
    thanks

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • Windows 7 x64 on 2009 MB, step-by-step instructions and solutions

    ok, after spending days on this with about 10+ clean installs on 2 different machines and searching forums about various problems, i'm going to go step by step in a flow-chart like manner to describe the steps and various pitfalls in getting windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed correctly on a macbook (late 2009)...most of this i didn't figure out on my own, this is a compilation of solutions found by others. i'll try and link or credit anyone i can, but honestly can't remember where i saw all of this. part of this is to share my days of frustration to try and save someone some time. also, in case i have to do this again, i want a record of it so i don't have to start from scratch next time.
    i don't have everything working perfectly, but i have wireless and sound, but not sure if all the drivers are up to date. i'm still working on the headphone issue, i don't have sound yet with headphones, but i got the speakers to work.
    i'm going to preface this by saying that windows 7 is a horrible piece of software, i'm only helping a friend do it because she's an architect and needs autocad, but she wants a mac for daily use. also, i'm doing this from a spanish install of windows 7 (here in south america), so it's a pain to translate this cruddy convoluted OS into english as i'm not familiar with windows 7 anyway, so i'll do my best. i'm not a pc expert. also going to say that the windows 7 x86 and x64 installs i've done on a couple macbook pro 15's seems to work much better (full trackpad functionality, expose works) and without as many problems...i don't know why it doesn't seem to work as well in x64 on the macbook, i'm still investigating.
    also, i want to say that a fresh (first-time) bootcamp partition with windows install after a clean mac os x install seems to produce the best results. i say this because i wasn't happy with all the hacks in my first couple attemtps, so i erased the bootcamp partitions and re-created them to re-install windows 7 again. but i started experiencing some peculiarities that never happened in the first install after a clean Mac OS X install. it's as if the computer leaves artifacts from previous installs and acts funny. also, reboots and start-up times seem to be slower now than when it was a first-time fresh install. anyway, i'll try and outline all the weirdness here, indicated by asterisks *
    SO, HERE GOES:
    1) Go to Bootcamp Utility > Create Bootcamp partition
    2) Afterwards, this should take you to a restart into the windows install dvd....if install dvd boots fine, skip to step 3
    ** if you get a gray screen (happened to me after subsequent re-install attempts), you have to power off and reboot holding down "C" key to boot from the dvd...or you can hold down alt/opt key to get the icons of bootable volumes, at this point it should be mac os x and the windows dvd. the point is, force it to boot from the dvd if it hangs on re-start.
    3) Windows install should start. Select language, etc....You should then get to a screen listing all the partitions (should be 3 of them). Choose the Bootcamp partition and format (erase) it to proceed with the install.
    4) Windows should start installing all the files and will reboot a couple times, here's where things get weird possibly. On the first attempt at installing Windows 7, the install went smoothly on restart.
    ** some of you might get a blinking cursor and a black screen that goes on forever. Supposedly this is a bug in Windows 7, having to do with video drivers or something. I don't understand because my first install attempt, it rebooted just fine and the installation continued.
    anyway, what you have to do here if you get the forever-black screen is power down the machine with the power button and restart holding the alt/option key. this time when you get the bootable volumes on the gray screen, choose the Windows partition, which will now appear. DON'T boot up from the DVD. upon restart into Windows, you should be back in the installation process and it will attempt to finish the install here.
    it might be my imagination, but once i had to reboot into the dvd here to actually finish the install. technically Windows is not finished installing at this step, you just have to figure out how to get past the black screen to finish the install. try both.
    5) Windows should go back to where it left off before the restart, then finish the install.....and restart AGAIN. On my first attempt, the restart went smoothly and started the "first time user" process...
    ** some of you will get the black screen YET AGAIN, this happened to me on my subsequent attempts at re-installing Windows. again, you need to power off and start up holding the alt/option key, choose the Windows partition and it should take you to the "first time user configuration" process....since at this point, windows is indeed installed.
    6) Here you will fill out all your information, product key, etc...and get into Windows. Here you will have some other problems.
    Problem #1: you have no drivers to run Windows on your Mac, so you will need to install Bootcamp in windows from your Mac OS X install dvd
    Problem #2: you have no "right click", because you don't have drivers, so you might not be able to eject the Windows dvd to put in the Mac dvd
    Solutions: you can't control-click or right click, BUT YOU CAN hover over the DVD drive ( "D:" in your computer, my PC or whatever it's called in english) and see if there's an "eject disc" option.
    for some reason, my Windows dvd was spinning and not being recognized, so i just rebooted (alt/option) into Mac OS X and ejected the disc there. the point is, you need to eject the Windows disc and put in the Mac OS X install disc to access Bootcamp for Windows.
    7) Reboot into Windows (if you had to boot into Mac to eject the disc). Insert Mac OS X install disc. Navigate to BootCamp setup.exe and run it.
    ** the first time i did this, it ran no problem. but in subsequent attempts, it gave me the "x64 not supported by this computer" message that everyone seems to encounter. there is a bypass for this outlined here:
    http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
    8) Ok, so now you should have Bootcamp 3.0 installed. Now you need to update it with Bootcamp 3.1 update. Download it here and run it. This is required for 64 bit support, I believe this is the link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl979
    ** hopefully you don't have problems, i didn't, so you might have to search the forums since i can't anticipate what might happen here, it worked for me every time.
    9) Ok, i think it might reboot after the update install. Now you have Bootcamp installed and most of the drivers you need, however not everything works. Some of the drivers will be out of date.
    Problem #1: you may or may not have updated nvidia drivers. mine are ok, but check nvidia website if you have doubts. most of their drivers are for PC hardware, however, so the ones on the bootcamp disk and update should be fine.
    Problem #2: almost everyone has wi-fi connectivity problems. it has to do with the wrong/outdated broadcom drivers from bootcamp. i will outline how i got it to work (based on someone else's solution i found in some forum or other).
    Problem #3: almost everyone is having sound issues. i'll explain what i did. i still have no sound coming out of the headphone jack, i'm working on that next. but i have speaker sound and no red light coming out of the headphone jack.
    ** first of all, you should probably download firefox from internet explorer in windows, then update adobe flash, it's a pain....i used another computer to download the drivers, then transfered them by USB drive, but you can do it however u want.
    Solution to wi-fi: ok, not sure where i got this information, but i downloaded HP drivers in a file called "sp45524.exe"....here's the link:
    http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/hp/hp-broadcom-wireless-lan-windows7-dri ver-v560188.htm
    apparently the broadcom drivers in Bootcamp 3.0 and 3.1 update won't install on Windows 7 x64 for some reason, lot of people are getting "code 10".
    what i did is this:
    9a) run the .exe file, it will create a folder called SWSetup\SP45524 that will house the drivers. there's a setup file in that folder, i didn't try it. perhaps it will install from there, but everything i read suggested a different step. ** if you run the set up file, you may have to run as administrator, or use the "troubleshoot compatibility" trick to get it to work.
    9b) Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > Network adapters
    you should uninstall or deactivate any drivers you have. if it's not showing any wi-fi adapter, right click and "check for new hardware" (not sure how it's translated into english from spanish)....you should have an unknown device pop up with the yellow icon and exclamation mark. double click on that, assign it as a network adapter.
    when you get to the driver tabs, you can install it from there. this is where it gets tricky. click "install driver", "check drivers on this computer", "choose from a list of drivers on this computer", "use disc", and in the dialogue box ("install from disc" that says "copy manufacturers files from", navigate to the C: SWSetup|SP45524 folder and click until you can accept. this will load up a different list of drivers.
    (sorry, i'm translating the Windows from spanish to english, and i'm not familiar with exactly what they say in english, so you'll just have to use your imagination)
    you should now have a small list of drivers. personally, i chose the first one on the list "Wi-Fi adapter Broadcom 43224AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n", but the second one worked also. again, i'm doing this on a late 2009 white macbook (6.1) and it works. according to the date of the driver, it seems like it might not even be the most current and might be older than the one that's on the MAC OS X install disc, but none of the ones on the disc work. this one does. (thanks to whoever found this out, i can't find the original link of the post with this driver reference).
    Solutions to sound: ok, there are multiple posts on this, everything from updating realtek to sigmatel...personally what worked for me was to download the most current Cirrus Logic drivers.
    everyone has been pointing to this post:
    http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
    it doesn't really tell you what to do exactly. i'm not even sure what to do, but here's what i did. actually, i downloaded what was supposed to be the CS4207 driver here:
    http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P1233.html
    then i followed the same procedure as before with the network adapter driver...."install driver", "check drivers on this computer", "choose from a list of drivers on this computer", "use disc", and in the dialogue box ("install from disc" that says "copy manufacturers files from", navigate to the folder you just downloaded from the above link.
    you should have an updated list of drivers. what i don't understand is that the Cirrus site lists the most current driver as CS4207, but the only thing that has 4207 in it starts with CDB. in any case, i chose the last one on the list, CS4206A (AB 99).
    i have no idea why i chose that, it just seemed to be the most current. in any case, sound works now.
    Ok, i tested all this stuff in skype. wifi, microphone and speakers work, isight works. however, still no headphone sound. so if anyone knows how to fix that, please let me know. i haven't gotten to that part yet. but i've spent like over a week trying to figure this out. windows 7 is so horrible that there seems to be so many steps to getting it just right, and i just found myself starting all over (i didn't mention the nightmare with license breaks with AutoCad due to windows reading the clock differently...that's another hack that i had to deal with...and failure meant re-installing everything).
    ok, off to bed now....

    Windows 7 x64 all updates
    Just doublechecking. Does that include the recent chkdsk hotfixes?
