Hi,

In your case it is better to use FIle system's.You can use the Connect direct server if you are aware of that.Write a Z programme that will upload the legacy data (in form of files) in to SAP.

Hi manoj,

I would suggest you to interface SAP with your mainframe database through SAP XI which is a middleware tool used to transfer data between any system with cost efficient and easy to work.

And for more information post your query with details in XI FORUM.

Thanks

Hi Manoj .,

It depends on the system landscap .

if ur client have Middle ware like XI or any othere .,it will fine and You can make interface with

SAP - XI- Mainframe .

otherewise get data from Mainframe in the form of Flat File and Write a BDC for the transactions .

Hi,

If you go by standards then SD/ MM are generally IDOC based,that is the transactional data is distributed using Message control ( IDOC's) . XI will be involved when you setup ALE/EDI in SAP.

For financial data as is the case with you ,Files are the prefered medium.

Thnx!
