Regarding tablecontrol in lsmw

hi
please can any one tell me how to do table control in lsmw?
Regards
srujana

Hi,
LSMW will have a Indicator for headr and itam, i do not remember the correct field, but it will have an indicator, check the fields, there will be a single charecter lenght field, that should be the indicator, and using that we can write the logic.
check that single charecter field, it that is X that means the header record is processed, and do the items.
and, this is another way, try this out also
YOu can do this in "Define Source Structures" step,
the HEADER is defined first,
then the DETAIL below the HEADER.
add the fields to the structures.
Both should have some common key field
Please take care that the name of the common field is the same.
Once you do this it is linked. The you have a header and item corresponding to that header. then run the LSMW as you would.

Regarding coding in lsmw..

Hi ALL,
Where we can write code in lsmw .
thanks ,
adithya.

HI,
you can write code in Field mapping and conversion rules step.
Go to change mode and double click on the Field that u have mapped. screen editor will be opened and u can code there.
and if u want to code seperately, then u can create sub routines and code in that.
u can create sub routines in the Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines step.

Regarding VK11 for lsmw........Batch input standard program

Hi friends,
I am wokring on LSMW for VK11 transaction. I have to use batch input standard program....
can any body help me in this regard.
Regards,
Jayan

Hi
a) For Standard Batch/Direct Input i believe we can assign 2 files (structures) , but it is possible for batch input recording ?
b) If this is possible, how can i assign the second file (detail structure) to C201 recording ?
In [this post|Re: LSMW load Customer data with Table like file with Header and Item records ?] you can read a good discussion about a problem like yours (header, item):
I believe you can use both solutions: single or double files.
c) How can i mapping the detail file fields to recording fields (PLPOD-ARBPL(01), PLPOD-ARBPL(02),..) ?
Just as Breakpoint said you can check if there's a chance in order to place the record to the top line, else it could be a problem

Regarding tablecontrol

hi,
how to insert multiple records at atime to database table from tablecontrol.

Hi Narsimha,
in order to pass data from table control to program do this :
Declare an internal table with the same structuire as table control with header line.
also in thew attributes of table control mark w/selcolumn and give some name say-mark.
Now in the top include declare this field
data mark type c.
Make sure you give the same name to fields of table control as that of internal table fields so that data transfer is automatic.
suppose u have a field NAME age profession in table control.
do this.
top include.
types : begin of struct,
name(20) type c,
age type i,
profession(30) type c,
end of struct.
data itab_tabcon type standard table of struct with header line.
data mark type c.
now name your table control fields as
itab_tabcon-name
itab_tabcon-age
itab_tabcon-profession.
in flow logic of screen make your pai dependent on mark
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_9001.
LOOP AT ITAB_TABCON WITH CONTROL TABCON.
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
LOOP AT ITAB_TABCON.
FIELD MARK
MODULE USER_COMMAND_9001 ON REQUEST.
ENDLOOP.
in pai module (USER_COMMAND_9001 ).
append itab_tabcon."append rows to internal table
clear itab_tabcon. "work area.
with this whenever u select the rows of table control in screen(while execution)then this module is invoked.
so the rows which are selected will be appended to itab_tabcon.
hope this helps you.
please reward points if useful.

LSMW to upload Business Partner through IDOC

Hello,
I have requirement to upload Business partner through IDOC. I am using below message type and IDOC type.
1:- Message Type :- CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M
2:- Basic Type :- CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M02
Could you please tell me what configuration I need to do for this? Like creating partner profile, port etc
Also I need to extend this IDOC segment to take care of my Z fields.
After extending the IDOC segment do I need to write code in order to update this Z filed or it will be take care and also how to extend existing IDOC.
If any one have has done this before then please share the logic.
Kindly help.

LSMW - Logical Path for PIR

I am working on creating LSMW - sample conversion for PIR. I struck up in the u201CSpecify filesu201D step by creating Logical Path.
Step 1 : I have done it thru T.Code : FILE in that first by creating Logical File path.
Step 2 : Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path
I have maintained Syntax Group as WINDOWS NT and given the Physical path as C:\TEMP\<FILENAME>
Step 3 : Logical File Name Definition , Cross Client
I have maintained Logical File, Name, Physical File , Data Format ,App Area , Logical Path.
After maintaining I am getting the error message u201C LOGICAL PATH PUR_INFO_RECORD DOES NOT EXISTu201D.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mani

specific to LSMW there is OSS note 753511 that describes what to do.
If you have authority for x-client customizing then you can directly type a name for logical path and file name
e.g. LSMWLOGPATH and LSMWLOGFILE, hit enter and LSMW will create the logical path and file name for you.and you dont need to do it with transaction FILE.
Go into the step "Specify files".
place cursor onto line "converted data"
click change button.
you get a pop-up with the logical path.
Just hit enter and LSMW will create the path itself.

Requesting all to help me how to create lsmw using idoc method

hi
thanx for ur answer
requesting every body in the forum to help me how to create lsmw using idoc method.
regards,
balaji

Hi Balaji,
LSMW using IDOC is similar to using flat file method. Here you are getting data from IDOC container and mapping data with Idoc segments insted of flatfile column.
Hope this is what you are looking for. If helpful then dont forget to reward me for that

Regarding Migrating data from Legacy to SAP

Hi All,
We are in Migration Project. We have to upload data from legacy to SAP, either using BDC or Cross-Applications in the following SD scenario's.
1. Customer Master
2. Inquiries
3. Quotations
4. Proposals
5. Sales Order
6. Goods Issue
I would like to know, which concept is better for each of the above scenario. Each option have advantages and disadvantages. So, I need suggestion regarding this.
Regards,
Sathya.

hi
LSMW and BDC are vastly different.
BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer. it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer, the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/backgrou nd processing.
LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system. it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs. it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
LSMW:
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
Batch input
Direct input
BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
Clear interactive process guide
Interface for data in spreadsheet format
Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
Charge-free for SAP customers and SAP partners

LSMW/ BAPI method for Document upload (CV01N)

Hi All,
Could you please let me know if it is possible to use LSMW (BAPI method) for creation of document ?(using CV01N) and linking files.
If yes, what is the business object for doing the same?
I did came across a BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2", but in order to use it for mass upload , we will have to develop a program. SO I was trying to see of the LSMW method could be used.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
LSMW is not supporting for attachements. Please check and confirm. If you have to upload bulk files then use BDC(Batch data collection) it's very useful for uploading thousands documents at a time. Ask abap'r to write a bdc program.
I hope this will resolve the query.

LSMW direct input method - Equipment BOM

Hi Experts,
We have already written program for equipment BOM master in LSMW direct input method. I do not know about this direct input method.
Here they have maintained 2 source structures and relavant source fields. one for BOM header and other for BOM items. The first field they maintained is LINK in both the source fields. I really do not know what that field is all about. I checked in step specify files and found that they have previously mentioned two files, one for BOM header and other for BOM items. but when I tried to save in this step it gives me error that " No logical path specified". Can anybody tell me what is this error is all about.Please heip me to get out of this problem.
Thanks and best regards,
Praveen

Hi praveen,
LSMW does not accept two files.
In the step create source strcture
crte one structure with BOM header like with ZBOM_H.
Under that create another structure for item ZBOM_I.
ZBOM_H
ZBOM_I like this structure will will be.
In the step source fields.
crate onne variable with indicatoe header.While creating the variable we have field 'identify field content ' field in pop up screen 'H'.
assign all header files under identifier 'H'.
then under ZBOM_I create identifier with 'I'.
Assign all the item fields to this.
then map the fields.
In the file should be H header fields.
                              I item fields.
                              I
                              I.
Then Header .It should be like this.
in saptechnical u will get the examples go though them once.
Thanks

SNP-- LSMW-- Transportation Lane

Hi,
When we are doing LSMW for Transporation Lane creation in APO SNP, system unable to recongize the Pop-Up screen, due to that its not updating record.
It showing all values after converted data, but, when system unable to feed the value to populate the sub screen.
Kindly guide to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
LSMW does not recognize pop up, to avoid the pop-up you need to check the flags fix trsp duration and fix trsp distance and enter a value for both (dummy value in case you dont require any of these fields), the pop-up generate proposal will not appear.
But I think creating transportation lane using BAPI is a better and faster option in case you have got large number of lanes.
Thanks,
Sanjog

Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??

Hi experts,
Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??i.e for updating material master,customer master etc.,
or it can be used to updated configuration tables also.i.e when we do configuration a CTS is to be created.then how the CTS generation is handled.
Can anyone plesae explain me in detail?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
N.Sreelatha

Hi
LSMW is used to transfer Legacy data from one system to another system.
Obvioulsy Configuration objects should be transported through CTS only and not with LSMW .

Project documentation displays any documentation maintained for individual pop ups and processing steps
User Guide: Clicking on Enter leads to interactive user guide which displays the Project name, sub project name and object to be created.
Object type and import techniques:
Standard Batch / Direct input.
Batch Input Recording
      o If no standard programs available
      o To reduce number of target fields.
      o Only for fixed screen sequence.
    BAPI
    IDOC
      o Settings and preparations needed for each project
Preparations for IDOC inbound processing:
    Choose settings -> IDOC inbound processing in LSMW
    Set up File port for file transfer, create port using WE21.
    Additionally set up RFC port for submitting data packages directly to function module IDoc_Inbound_Asynchronous, without creating a file during data conversion.
    Setup partner type (SAP recommended US) using WE44.
    Maintain partner number using WE20.
    Activate IDOC inbound processing.
    Verify workflow customizing.
Steps in creating LSMW Project:
    Maintain attributes choose the import method.
    Maintain source structure/s with or without hierarchical relations. (Header, Detail)
    Maintain source fields for the source structures. Possible field types C,N,X, date, amount and packed filed with decimal places.
    Fields can be maintained individually or in table form or copy from other sources using upload from a text file
    Maintain relationship between source and target structures.
    Maintain Field mapping and conversion rules
    For each Target field the following information is displayed:
      o Field description
      o Assigned source fields (if any)
      o Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.)
      o Coding.
      o Some fields are preset by the system & are marked with Default setting.
    Maintain Fixed values, translations, user defined routines Here reusable rules can be processed like assigning fixed values, translation definition etc.
    Specify Files
      o Legacy data location on PC / application server
      o File for read data ( extension .lsm.read)
      o File for converted data (extension .lsm.conv)
    Assign Files to defined source structures
    Read data Can process all the data or part of data by specifying from / to transaction numbers.
    Display read data To verify the input data being read
    Convert Data Data conversion happens here, if data conversion program is not up to date, it gets regenerated automatically.
    Display converted data To verify the converted data
Import Data Based on the object type selected
    Standard Batch input or Recording
      o Generate Batch input session
      o Run Batch input session
    Standard Direct input session
      o Direct input program or direct input transaction is called
BAPI / IDOC Technique:

ECATT vs LSMW

Dear Gurus
could pls tell me the difference between eCATT Vs LSMW, because both are uploading the master file is it any difference in that.
regards
mohammed renu

hi,
LSMW-
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports you when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via
1. Batch input.
2. Direct input.
3. BAPIs or IDocs.
The LSM Workbench was developed on the basis of the following principles:
1. Most of the functions should reside in R/3. No collection of individual programs on different platforms.
2. The quality and consistence of the data imported into R/3 should be more important than speed and performance of data migration.
3. Existing knowledge and coding should be used.
4. The developed "mapping" and rules should be reusable and thus be used repeatedly in projects.
The main functions of the LSM Workbench are:
1. Import data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files)
2. Convert data (from source format to target format)
3. Import data (into the database of the R/3 application)
The following items should be considered:
1. Make sure that R/3 customizing is finished.
2. Determine the data contained in your legacy system and which of the data will be required in the future (with respect to business operation).
3. Decide whether it makes sense to use this tool with respect to the data volume to be transferred.
Preconditions
1. Identify the transaction(s) in R/3 via which you want to import the data into your SAP system.
2. Map the fields in advance in written form: Assign the source fields to the target fields.
3. Determine the form in which non-SAP data will be transferred into the SAP system (e.g. via "Move" or according to a rule).
4. In which way will the data be extracted from the non-SAP system? Note: The LSMW does not extract data.
5. In which form is the legacy data available? Determine accordingly which of the LSMW functions will be applied.
CATT-
1. What CATT does is record you performing the actual transaction once.
2. You then identify the fields that you wish to change in that view.
3. Then export this data to a spreadsheet to populate with the data required.
4. This is uploaded and executed saving you keying in the data manually.
5. To perform CATT, it has to be enabled in your production environment (your systems administrator should be able to do this - SCC4).
6. You will also need access to your development system to create the CATT script.
The use of CATT is for bulk uploading of data. Although CATT is primarily a testing tool, it can be used for the mass upload of data. The way CATT works is like a real user actually inputting on the SAP screen. You prepare a set of data that are required to be input into the system and execute what you called a Test Case and CATT will do the boring task of keying for you.
