Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

[Former Member]

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,

Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).

Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.

We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.

Thanks,

Sudheer,

So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.

However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.

You may want to explore the option of moving the data into SQL Server and then manipulating the data using rules and then registering them in a tool called Cransoft and then exporting the data into your newer version of SAP.

Hope this helps,
