SAP R/3 Mass User Master Record Update

[Former Member]

I am currently involved in a project to update specific fields of the User Master Record for all applicable records from an external source.

For the mass change i was thinking along the lines of CATT, BDC/ABAP or Table Changes. Obviously table changes was out first because of the dangers of causing inconsistencies among the SAP standard tables. CATT i think is not really made for this purpose but could probably do the job, and BDC or ABAP is probably the right way to go.

Any suggestions/comments?

Thanks

hello Ashley,

All 3 options are good.

I personally use CATT for this purpose however it depends on what your trying to update. SU10 is another option but its drawback is that you can use only 1 value at a time. In CATT however you can use different values for different users. Also time involved in creating CATT tool is very less.

Obviously you have options like BDC/LSMW and ABAP also with you.

Regards.
