Does a database hit happen in LSMW?

Hi,

I just want to know if any database hit happens while using LSMW.

If yes, is it during the conversion rules step or is it when we actually import data into SAP that it hits the database for any checks and validations mentioned in the conversion rules.

Please advise.

Regards,

Namrata

Hi,

LSMW doesn't hit any DB entries. It is you who provide a flat file, and all further operations are on data from this file.

After import you will see what was read from file into corresponding fileds defined in lsmw, whereas

after convertion you will see how data will look like in DB table after they are loaded (so what you defined in your recording).

An activity on DB is done only when you run your LSMW project.

Hi,

This depends upon the update method, if BDC it will be when you process the session via SM35. If IDOC it will be when you start IDOC processing, If a BAPI call then when you start the direct input program.
