batch input folder creation for HR infotype posting.

snursalim — Tue, 19 May 2009 06:51:43 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to create a report where the report will calculate the bonus of employee's based on certain calculation and then post it to infotype 14/15/267. What I wanna do now is how to create a batch session which can be executed via SM36 so my program can be in background and anytime they want to. Basically what I want to have is to have a batch input session folder like the report RHINTE00 can generate.

Please kindly share any knowledge about this batch session programming.

Thanks in advance.

Hi friend,

I recommend you to use the HR Function modules to update the infotypes. It's most seccure. Here an example:

*********************************************************************************************************************

First, you have to see the FM parameters:

Here is a list of the fm's parameters and how they are used, obviously not all parameters will be used depending on what function you are performing i.e. insert, change, delet etc

infty - Infotype being updated

objectid - object id from infotype

number - Personnel number

validityend - validity end date

validitybegin - validity begin date

record - infotype record values to be updated, inserted etc (will be structure of infortyoe you are updating)

recordnumber - sequence nunber from infotype record you are updating

Operation - describes what operation is to be performed

COP = Copy

DEL = Delete

DIS = Display

EDQ = Lock/unlock

INS = Create

LIS9 = Delimit

MOD = Change

INSS = Create for Actions is not converted to Change

nocommit - commit yes('X') / no(' ')

dialog_mode - dialog mode or not, default is '0'

-> Now, the examples codes...

Example coding for MODIFY infotype operation

CONSTANTS: change TYPE pspar-actio VALUE 'MOD'.

"This code is requred and locks the record ready for modification

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = p_pernr.

"loop at p0071 into p_p0071. "added to put code in context

validitybegin = p_record-begda.

validityend = p_record-endda.

p_record-endda = pn-begda - 1.

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'

EXPORTING

infty = '0071'

subtype = p_record-subty

objectid = P_record-objps

number = p_record-pernr "employeenumber

validityend = validityend

validitybegin = validitybegin

record = p_record

recordnumber = p_record-SEQNR

operation = change

nocommit = nocommit

dialog_mode = '0'

IMPORTING

return = return_struct

key = personaldatakey

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

"endloop.

"unlock record after modification

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = p_pernr.

*********************************************************************************************************************

Example coding for INSERT infotype operation

CONSTANTS: insert TYPE pspar-actio VALUE 'INS'.

"This code is requred and locks the record ready for modification

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = p_pernr.

validitybegin = p_record-begda.

validityend = p_record-endda.

p_record-pernr = p_pernr

p_record-begda = pn-begda.

p_record-endda = validityend.

p_record-subty = p_SUBTY. "subtype of new entry

p_record-SCREF = p_SUBTY. "subtype of new entry

"plus populate any other fields you need to update

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'

EXPORTING

infty = '0071'

subtype = p_record-subty

number = p_record-pernr "employeenumber

validityend = validityend

validitybegin = validitybegin

record = p_record

operation = insert

nocommit = nocommit

dialog_mode = '0'

IMPORTING

return = return_struct

key = personaldatakey

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

"unlock record after modification

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = p_pernr.

I really hope it help you...!!!!

Is there any specific reason you are going for BDC to update your infotype records. Actaully I have see lot of implementatios where BDC is used for the same.

Anyways to answer your question.

1) Go to SHDB and enter transaction you want to do recording for. PA30 in your case

2) Do the recording,as per recording fill BDC_DATA

3) BDC_OPEN_GROUP BDC_CLOSE_GROUP

Here is [sample|http://www.abapprogramming.net/2007/11/abap-bdc-session-method-sample-code.html] code

Hope this helps.

Hi Shital,

What i'm talking about batch processing is not about recording. I understand already how do u do bdc programming. What I want to know is how you can create a folder job like the one you can see using t-code sm35 or the one which is created with lsmw when we use batch recording method.

Thanks.
