Hi

BDC stand for BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION

Through this concept we transfer the data into SAP R/3 System

Legacy System -


> R/3 System

Batch input is used to transfer large amounts of data into the

SAP system. In this topic, we will learn the basics of batch input.

There are 2 types of transfers Conversions and interfaces.

Conversions: This type of transfer refers to a one-time transfer from a legacy system to the SAP system. In this case, the “legacy” system is the old system that is being replaced by the SAP system.

Interfaces: This type of transfer refers to an ongoing transfer from a complementary system to the SAP system. In this case, the “complementary” system is a system that will run along side the SAP system.

<b>Error Handling</b>

i am giving you example for Change Vendor you practice for ur tcode

For our example, we will use the “Change Vendor” transaction (“FK02”) to add a street address to an already existing vendor.

<b>Step #1</b>

Use “System&#61664;Status” menu path to determine online program name (SAPMF02K), screen number (0110)

<b>Step #2</b>

Use “F1” key and “Technical Info” pushbutton in each screen field to be filled to determine the field name.

<b>Step #3</b>

Determine how to proceed in the transaction

(save the record by clicking on the ‘Save’ pushbutton or pressing the ‘F11’ key).

<b>BDC Table Contents</b>

<b>Batch Input Methods</b>

“CALL TRANSACTION USING”

STATEMENT

<b>Call transaction - for data transfer</b>

Processing batch input data with CALL TRANSACTION USING is the faster of the two recommended data transfer methods. In this method, legacy data is processed inline in your data transfer program.

Syntax:

CALL TRANSACTION <tcode>

USING <bdc_tab>

MODE <mode>

UPDATE <update>

A Display all

E Display errors only

N No display

S Synchronous

A Asynchronous

L Local update

<b>The process flow of CALL TRANSACTION</b>

A program that uses CALL TRANSACTION USING to process legacy data should execute thefollowing steps:

Prepare a BDCDATA structure for the transaction that you wish to run.

Prepare a internal table to store error messages Tab_Mess like structure of BDCMSGCOLL.

With a CALL TRANSACTION USING statement, call the transaction and prepare the BDCDATA structure. For example:

CALL TRANSACTION ‘MM01' USING BDCDATA MODE 'A' UPDATE 'S'. MESSAGES INTO TAB_MESS.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

<Error_handling>.

ENDIF.

<b>Overview of Batch Input Session</b>

The first batch input method is to create a batch input session. It is the processing of this batch input session that updates the database, not the execution of the batch input program.

Hi,

Batch Data Communication

It is used to transfer data from Sap to Sap or from Non Sap to sap system. It uses the normal transaction codes to transfer the data.

Data Transfer Methods

You can use the following methods to transfer data:

• CALL TRANSACTION: Data consistency check with the help of screen logic.

• Batch input with batch input sessions: Data consistency check with the help of screen logic

BDC (<i>Batch Data Communication</i>) 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/background processing.

<i>Programming</i>

Easiest way is to record the transaction via SHDB and then generate a sample program and adapt it to your needs.

There are also some standard SAP program that create BDC session. Look also for LSMW.

<i>Advantages</i>

Error are recorded in a protocol, and users can execute the erroneous transaction again and again from SM35.

Regards
