Performance of BAPI's to create Leads and Activities in CRM

Hi,
I'm using the BAPI's BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI and BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI to create Leads and Activities.
The scenario is:
1) The input file has 3 types of records coming in
(a) Leads only
(b) Activities only (Prospect Lead activities)
(c) LEad + Activity (rescheduled activities)
2) Depending on the type of record, I'm required to create the relevant order and if required link the lead and activity (scenario - C)(using the FM CRM_DOC_FLOW_MAINTAIN_OW).
3) In addition to this, I'm also required to link campaign elements to both Leads and Activities (done within the BAPI's BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI and BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI in the doc_flow structure).
ISSUE:
The issue that I am facing is that it is taking a lot of time to create these. I'm basically running a custom conversion program for LEads and Activities. The rate is almost 6-8 secs for each record, and we have about 500,000 records to be converted.
Also, I'm having to use the following function modules after the creation of Leads and Activities:
1) CRM_MA_ACT_SAVE - to set the status of the activity to OPEN or IN PROGRESS. This is being done after the creation of an activity because the BAPI BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI seems to always default the status to OPEN.
2) CRM_ORDER_CHANGE_STATUS - to set the status of the LEad to OPEN or IN PROGRESS. This is being done after the creation of an activity because the BAPI BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI seems to always default the status to OPEN.
3) BAPI_LEAD_ATT_CHANGE - to set the STATUS SINCE field for a Lead. This is being done because I'm unable to set the STATUS_SINCE field using the BAPI BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI.
The logic being used within the code is to process a batch of records (500/1000 records - value is an input selection parameter) from the input file in one go, and then commit all of them after their creation. After this, the next batch of records is again processed and committed.
We've also tried to create LEads and Activities record by record and not in batches... but the performance still remains the same.
I'm not sure what is slowing down the process. If whether it is all the commits, or if it is the additional use of the FM's to change the 'status' and 'Stauts-since' values after having committed the leads and activities.
When we look at the LEads and Activities that are created, everything looks fine. It is only that the performance is really slow.
Thanks for all your patience and suggestions,
- Akarsh

In order to improve the performance you could use several processes. Just start you conversion-program with several variants at the same time.
Last time I converted 80.000 contracts it took me 6 hours with 5 processes.
Hopes this helps.

Explination of integrating Groupware and Activities in CRM

Hey
I am about to implement Groupware to my CRM 4.0 system, but I have some question first that doesnt come so clear out of the installation / how-to manuals.
How is the scenario when creating a new Activity in CRM to the Calendar in Outlook? Does the calander gets updated as well? and reverse from Calendar to Activity?
And if a Business Partner receives a mail.. or sends a mail. How is this integrated to the sap object? Does it gets attached as an attatchments ? Or is it another way to see all the mails on a Business Partner?
If someone have tried this, please write me back!
Best Regards
Kristoffer Engh

Thanks!
After reading thoose two notes, I see that
1) E-Mail integration is not supported by this solution
2) Activities can be synchronized both ways
I was hoping Groupware could support e-mail, by making a link of a Business Partner and to all the mails that has been received and accepted :/
Any suggestion of how to make that integration?
Best Regards

Is there any BAPI/FM to create a trasnport request and add objects into it?

Create a custom Function Module , in that write a BDC to create a transport request and add objects to it.
Thats it.

No template found creating Tabs and Processes in HR Flexible Performance UI

Dear Experts
We will be using EHP4 Flexible Performance UI.
I have created the sample performance template in PHAP_CATALOG and have transported this to our DEV playpen client.
Within the config Master client I want to configure the u201CDefine Tabs and Process Configuration for Templateu2019 IMG node and after I log in it takes me to the web dynpro screen u201CWeb dynpro ABAP configuration for Appraisalsu201D, I get the error u201CNo template foundu201D.
When I check the Help it says 1) to check the template has been created and 2) that the template has been released
I checked and the template does exist in PHAP_CATALOG and has been released.
Has anyone encountered this problem and has a way to fix this?
Thanks
Oliver

Hi Maurice,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes the template has been definitely released.
Yes Iu2019m using the same user to create the template and trying to do the process tabs u2013 I have SAP ALL Access.
Also, when I transport this template from the DEV master client - to a DEV unit test client I can actual run the process template setupu2026u2026u2026u2026.
Developer has checked the code and DEV Master client is the same as DEV Unit test clientu2026u2026u2026.interesting.
Have you ever come across the issue where the source client where template has been created and released that you could not create the process tabs?
Any other ideas how I could solve this?
Many thanks
Oliver

Function or bapi to upload the lead questionnaire to lead partner portal

hi all,
Is there any function or bapi to upload the lead questionnaire that exists in the marketing leads-lead partner portal . The survey should get attached to the lead . I am able to create the lead though with the LDPO process by a function module .Any help on this will be very useful.
Thanks in advance.
Mithun

Hi Bharani,
I can answer two of your questions:
2. No, with a BAPI you cannot see the screens during processing. After it is called you can display the BOM and check that the data is loaded correctly.
3. You can see the error messages of the BAPI by looking in the RETURN structure. This will contain details of any error, warning, information, and success messages generated during the creation of the BOM.
Cheers,
Brad

Creating IT00 and retrieving pernr

Hi Guys,
Generally when we do hiring in R/3, after creating IT0000 we get the pernr (internal). How to achieve this through BAPI? I know we cannot perform action thru BAPI. But what I am doing is I am creating each infotype (00, 01, 02, 06, 07, 19) with HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA. So after creating IT00, I need to capture the created pernr and update other infotypes for that pernr. Is it right way? Please help me asap.

use GET parameter ID PER as posted previously, that definitely works. The HR_RETURN parameter does not work, that only contains PERNR when you are maintaining data on a pre-existing records.
Be careful using HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA for Hiring actions, in 4.6 it does not create the CP object and CP-->P relationship in OM. Maybe it does in later releases, not sure.

Query on creating "Lead" from the Flat file

Hi Group,
I was trying to use the BAPI "BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI" to create the lead.
I have a requirement for creating the Lead... and I have a few questions on creating the Lead like:
1)Does this Lead creation happen with the Business Partners or it has no
in no way connection with the Business Partners?
2)My requirement is that, I need to create leads for the records of the input file
which I get from the User and this looks like this with the fields as:
Sales prospect; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; Priority; contact person; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; and Priority.
(ie., 12 different input fields starting with Sales Prospect to Priority ).
In Sales Prospect, I will give the Business Partner # and also in the Contact Person.
Could you pls let me know how my requriement can be fulfilled( probably with some other code ).
Please give me your valuable suggestions on this to move further. And also, please give me some sample code to build this requirement.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Check the return structure in the BAPI if it contains only success message, then try giving <b>CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'</b> passing essential parameters immediately after the create bapi call.
