Mass user upload through LSMW and ECATT

Hi Experts,
How to upload mass users using LSMW and ECATT. How to use these tcodes and can some one tell me how role mapping is done with these tcodes. I havent't used these before and please giveme the procedure or steps if some one has got.
Your answer is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Sandhya

Thanks for pointing us there! A very usefull document.
Having said that, I think it is a pity the blog's writer gave a step by step tutorial without explaining what the steps mean. Once you really understand how to automate stuff with ECATT and know its limitations you can get rid of a lot of repititive jobs.
Julius, this looks like one for the sticky thread.

Diff between Lsmw and ecatt

Hi guys,
can you please explain me the difference between lsmw and ecatt tool
Regards
Lokesh

Dear Lokesh,
In LSMW is used for uploading data from excel or word or note pad.like using uploding data before you start lSMW you have to assign or record your upload data
eCATT is a SAP Testing Tool, which can be used to automate & test business scenarios in R/3. One can create and execute the eCATT scripts based on business processes mapped in R/3. These scripts can be then tested before go live to Production server. If needed eCATT can be used in production server also provided exact functionality of its usage should be known. After testing, eCATT generates a detailed log depending on the processes executed. If the testing is smooth with success mode, this means the business scenarios mapped in R/3 system are correct. And if the test results in error than one can analyze the problems from the generated error log. Thus helps in analyzing the error.
What Are The Various Ways Of Doing Testing?
Testing can be done by various ways like Manually, using CATT etc.
Why To Use eCATT?
CATT will be no longer supported for the creation of new development. So those using CATT are forced to update to use eCATT. Comparative to manual testing, the following are advantages of using eCATT
Due to automation, testing time is reduced to a large extent.
Due to automation, less manpower is required for testing. This helps financially.
Due to automation, manual errors are reduced to large extent. Hence results in error free testing. This helps, as no further problems will occur while the usage of R/3 system by end users and hence increases the efficiency.
Proved to be extremely useful in Rollout projects
Hope this helps you

Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?

I am going to implement my product in customer place.which tool I can use for uploading data.ECATT or LSMW whch one is better to upload master data and transaction data ,which one is user friendly?kindly guide me on this.

Hello TJK,
LSMW and eCATT has different functionalitites and different advantages, but common thing is they are used for data upload.
eCATT is mainly used as a testing tool for follow-on transactions i.e. Purchase Requisition, Purchase order, Goods Receipt etc.
Where as LSMW is used for Master data (Materials, Customer, Vendor, BOM, Inforecord etc) and some of the transactions data (Purchase order, purchase requisition)
There are many standard objects are available in LSMW so most of the consultants use LSMW, but again depends on the requirement.
This will help to understand the basics of eCATT.

Release Strategy Characteristic Upload through LSMW.

Release Strategy Characteristic Upload through LSMW.
Introduction:
In case of Purchase order, we need to maintain Release Strategy each year. This is due to organizational changes. Due to huge organization, this is around one week activity for us. Reason, we need to maintain characteristics for around 300 different release strategies. Since, we can't transport "Characteristics" from one system to other, we need to maintain them in Quality as well as in Production system.
Issue: We tried to use option of LSMW to maintain these "Characteristics". But, system is giving error as "Logical Path is not available".
Question: Who is responsible to create this "Logical Path" and where it can be done?

Hi,
I think you moved LSMW from test to production and this might be happening due to this fact. Please redo steps in LSMW for:
Specify Files
Assign Files
Read Data
Create completely new paths, and allow system to recreate (you need the right authorization). This might help I hope.

Mass vendor creation through LSMW

Hi,
Could you please let me know the mass vendor creation through LSMW also let me know the text file format?
Regards
Nama

Hi Chandrashekar
It is very easy to create the LSMW structure for the Vendor load, First thing you have to do is to get all the fields that the business wants to be inputed when you are XK01. Than create a LSMW recording and assign the recording to the structure.
I can guide you with the creation. I do have a PDF for LSMW which will be very helpful for guidance, But how do i share?

BOM Uploading through LSMW

Hi Experts,
I am Uploading BOM through LSMW by Direct Input method. I am having the following queries,
1. In that BOM I have Header data and Item data. While doing the Step 7(specify file) it accept the text file only not the Excel file. If I assign the Excel file means while executing the Step 9(Read Data). It gives error message, file and source structure have no fields.
So I came back to Step 7 and assign the Text file then it is accepting. What is the reason?
2. Even though It will allow to execute the Read Data steps I am getting the Header data only not getting the BOM Components data. Results data as follows,

How business transation data,opening balances are uploaded through lsmw?

hi,
please tel me hoe to upload the open balances,business transation data of the vendor,customer and gl account through lsmw? along with that please explain the uploading theough bdc.........
i am eagerly waiting for ur answer...............please let me know asap.
with regards,
prasad.

Hi,
As all the balances can be uploaded through FB01,Create a document type by for upload set all the transaction allowed in document type.
Firstly create a LSMW for FB01 posting a document so that we will know what all the fields need to be captured.
Then in the same format create a XL template with necessary required fields and fill the same with data.
Asset master data also can be uploaded through FB01 by removing the reconcilation field in OAMK change the reconcilation control and upload the balance in FB01 and again in OAMK change the control to reconcilation.
or through OASV also you can upload.

BOM upload through LSMW

Hi,
Can anybody really suggest how to upload BOM through LSMW.
My specific questions are
do we require 2 files to upload
is header and items need to be recorded separately

Hi ,
Just my 2cent advise, Why don't you try BDC recording rather than direct input.
BDC recording is the option that you can choose to perform recording such as CS01.
TQ.
