What is the Tcodes for Uploading of data using BDC & CATT

PP members:
I was going through the cutover activities , and what I understood is we transfer all the legacy system data into SAP before going live
The data upload follows certain steps (depends on the organizational design load strategies)
First we upload all the master data ( material master, BOM, W/C's & Routings)
Then the transaction data ( Ideally speaking, there should no open orders i.e. WIP as on the day of cutoff )
If the WIP (Work in Process) is unavoidable then the materials consumed shall be treated as materials of the previous stage and necessary adjustments shall be made after cutover day
At this point, I could not able to understand what does the author mean materials of the previous stage
Now comming to the uploading of data into SAP from legacy system, we use tools like LSMW, CATT & BDC
Is it a must to use only LSMW tool to upload master data or any other upload tools are fine
Lastly,. I am not sure about the Tcode of CATT & BDC
Summary of the questions:
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC ?
Thanks for your time
Suren R

Dear,
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities - as i understood, what is the stage of material..like it must have gone through 2 work centers and other 2 is left. i.e. you need to create Production order with only 2 operation as other 2 is already over. - usually it is done in such a way that we will create Production order and confirm till 2 operations and WIp is calculated so thatb FI will tally the books in SAP and lagacy.
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data - no you can use any tool as required and suits yr requirement
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC- BDC through a prog in SE38. CATT through - SCEM.

Difference between uploading data using BDC,CATT

Dear experts,

is it only the coding or something else.
and can you explain the situations where we prefer to upload the data using CATT tool.
thanks in advance.

Upload Of Transaction Data Using E-CATT

Dear All,
I am trying to upload purchase order Data for transaction ME21 through E-catt. But I am not able to upload multiple line item data as the Test Script allows only one item data to be uploaded because I have uploaded only one item data in my recording. So I am not able to upload multiple line item data. Can anybody help me with the steps to upload multiple line item data for ME21 transaction through E-CATT.

Hi,
Did you solve this problem of uploading more than 1 line item? If you have solved, please share me your solution as Im also encountering the same problem. Thanks in advance for your help!

Problem when uploading data using CATT

Hi
I am doing a CATT upload for the transaction ct04.
In the CATT functions Maintain Test Case Screen,I have written the code as below
C Funct. Object Text
 IF &ATNAM NE &TEMP
 SETVAR &TEMP = &ATNAM
 TCD CT04 Characteristics
 ELSE
 TCD CT04 Characteristics
 ENDIF
ATNAM is the name of the chracteristic which is taken from the input file and temp is a local variable.
For the first record,the if condition will be satisfied and for the rest else part needs to be satisfied.
But for me,it is executing only the if part and the else part is not getting triggered.
Please help me in this regard.

Hi!
Do you want to have something like 'on change of ATNAM'?
Looks like TEMP is reset for each new entry and not saved STATIC for next input line.
There is a work-around. Add a new column (in excel) &TEMP (which is now no longer local, but input variable). Let's asume, ATNAM is in column C: write if statement for TEMP-column (e.g. D2:) if(C1 <> C2; 1; 0).
Then your if-statement in catt can be static like:
IF &TEMP = 1
In other words: write a 1 in each line, where your if part should be executed, write a 0 in each line, where your else part should be executed. With a static if-clause, CATT should work fine.

CATT upload done in dev server, want to transport to QA / PRD

Hi Experts,
CATT upload is created in development server.
I want to upload data in quality for testing and finally upload in production server.
Should I transport CATT or it can be run by using RFC.
Please advise.
Regards,
Irfan

hii ranu,
hope there wil be no transport path maintained from prodution to development server,it has to be from dev to prod only..
u can go to se38 and concerned program and there u wil find a icon to export program to a file on PC..
you can refer the foll link also

How to upload data using CATT ?

These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
I KNOW ONLY THIS ABOUT CATT but i wanna complete in details with an example. its better if anyone can further explain in detail with example

hi,
1)     Start tcode SCAT
2)     Give the test case name and create
3)     Give title, component then save and come back
4)     Select the test case and go to change mode
5)     Start record and provide the tcode to be recorded
1st button is for normal record (button with arrow key)
2nd button is for remote (to record in remote server of our landscape)
Give all the mandatory fields in the transaction without errors and without using f4 and f1 just like recording
After entering entire data click save button
Then click end recording
Then double click on the test case TCD
Then double click on the first report (SAPMF02D)
It will open the recorded transaction code
Import all the fields which we are going to provide in flatfile
There should not be any default values in the fields after importing
Click on next screen button
Same way import for all screens
Finally it should come to the below screen
Then go back and click save then go to GOTO -> VARIANTS -> EXPORT DEFAULT
Then give the path to be transferred in our local sys and transfer as excel file (save with .xls type)
Then open the excel file
Select 1st 2 columns right click and delete
It should contain only the field headings and description as shown in the below excel snapshot
Leave one empty line and enter our records from 4th row onwards
Enter all the records and save the excel file
Then execute our test case
Then select the type of mode (foreground/background) and variants from external file
Select our excel file and then execute (click remote execution if its a remote server)
Finally check the data is uploaded or not

Steps to prepare and upload excel files data to r/3?

Hi abap experts,
We have brand new installed ECC system somehow configured but with no master or transaction data loaded .It is new empty system....We also have some legacy data in excel files...We want to start loading some data into the SAP sandbox step by step and to see how they work...test some transactions see if the loaded data are good etc initial tests.
Few questions here are raised:
-Can someone tell me what is the process of loading this data into SAP system?
-Should this excel file must me reworked prepared somehow(fields, columns etc) in order to be ready for upload to SAP??
-Users asked me how to prepared their legacy excel files so they can be ready in SAP format for upload.?Is this an abaper job or it is a functional guy job?
-Or should the excel files be converted to .txt files and then imported to SAP?Does it really make some difference if files are in excel or .txt format?
-Should the Abaper determine the structure of those excel file(to be ready for upload ) and if yes, what are the technical rules here ?
-What tools should be used for this initial data loads? CATT , Lsmw , batch input or something else?
-At which point we should test the data?I guess after the initial load?
-What tools are used in all steps before...
-If someone can provide me with step by step scenario or guide of loading some kind of initial master data - from .xls file alignment to the real upload - this will be great..
You can email me some upload guide or some excel/txt file examples and screenshots documents to excersize....Email: [email protected]
Your help is appreciated it.!

Depends on data we upload the data from file to R/3 .
If it is regular updation then we used to get the data from application server files to R/3 since local file updation we can not set up background processing..
If it is master data upload and that to one time upload then we use presenation server files to SAP R/3..

PO upload templates

Hi All..
Can anyone help me out in giving the template of the file (in excel or word) which will be used to upload the POs from legacy to SAP. There will be header and item detials for all items. How to handle it?
Regards,
Srib

Hi
During creation of PO
Header fields
Order Type (Purchasing) EKKO-BSART
Vendor: EKKO-LIFNR
Purchasing Document Date:EKKO-BEDAT
Terms of Payment Key:EKKO-ZTERM
Incoterms (Part 1):EKKO-INCO1*
Incoterms (Part 2):EKKO-INCO2*
*Depends on import or customiztion
Purchasing Organization:EKKO-EKORG
Purchasing Group :EKKO-EKGRP
Company Code:EKPO-BUKRS
Item fields
Material Number:EKPO-MATNR
Purchase Order Quantity:EKPO-MENGE
Delivery Date:EKPO-EEIND
Net Price:EKPO-NETPR
Currency:EKPO-WAERS
Plant:EKPO-WERKS
Storage Location:EKPO-LGORT
Those are the basics
but
it will change according to every Account Type of PO (A,K,S etc)
for example if it is K Cost Center then there would be also another fields cost center, material text etc.
İf it is A Assets you would also need Asset number
And also before those all of the material master, Vendor master, Payment ,Plants etc datas should have been completed..
It is not so easy
but your ABAP'er can write a batch input.
or may be with CATT you can do
Best Regards
Hope it helps

Upload data eCATT in ECC6 vs 4.7

HI There,
I uploaded MM data in ECC6 before by using CATT (record scripts and load in configuration) but yesterday I was using someone's 4.7 IDES and surprisingly stuck.
Scenario:
In Ecc6
After recording script, creat test configuration and on variants, put file path on 'mode'-> 'external variants' then 'edit' -> 'variants' ->'download' so you have the format etc.
In 4.7 IDES
After recording script, creat test configuration and on variants, Problem! no where to see 'mode', 'external variants' and 'edit' -> 'cancel' only.
Question:
Is it not possible in 4.7? or just I missed some setting in that 4.7 IDES?
Thank you very much.
KC

well, checked help again, looks like direct external variant is not possible in 4.7, will try XML download n upload.

Mass upload through Web Dynpro application possible?

We want to develop a custom aplication with Web Dynpro ABAP for master data maintenance. About 90 % will be done manually but we also want to have the possibility to do mass uploads (comparable with LSMW's in SAP R3 for win gui transactions: users send us a spreadsheet and we load it for them using a LSMW). I found one option by building Adobe Interactive form offline scenario using xml messages but I don't want to be forced to use Adobe only to enable mass uploads that will only happen in 10 % of the cases.
I am loking forward to your suggestions!
kind regards
Angelique Heutinck

I got a very useful answer from Thomas Jung (SAP) via a site he did setup with a couple of other SAP experts, also see http://enterprisegeeks.com/blog/2009/03/31/abap-freak-show-april-1st-acf-updownload-in-web-dynpro-abap/comment-page-1/
My question:
I think this new UI element ACFUpDownload cannot be used to do mass uploads/updates of data that need to be stored in SAP tables?
Answer Thomas:
This UI element is just about the transfer of data from the client machine to the server. It has nothing to do with how the data is used or processed after upload. Think of it as the equal to the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class and methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
My question:
Is there a tool like LSMW, CATT, eCATT that we can use for recording webenabled transactions (applications developed in Web Dynpro ABAP)?
Answer Thomas:
You shouldnu2019t need a tool like LSMW, CATT, eCATT that is tied to the user interface. With WDA you should be using MVC to design your application. This is part of the reason for MVC so that you have a clear separation of the model - business logic. You should always have a reusable class that can be called to input and create data with the same validations without going through the user interface. This is the process that SAP is following as we create new WDA screens. We use the enterprise services and their implementation classes as the Model for the WD Components. This ensures that you always have a clear API to use to mass import data.
Although we wouldnu2019t recommend doing any kind of mass data load via the user interface any longer - eCATT will be supported for automated testing of Web Dynpro ABAP applications as of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2.
