What do u mean?

If you mean the BDC session starts automatically, u need to submit the report RSBDCSUB,

If you mean the BDC program should start automatically, u should create a job witan event, and this event is triggered if a certain file in stored in a certain directory.

Hi,

Incase your BDC program is generating a session the process the same by submittting program RSBDCSUB.

RSBDCSUB can be used to process the session directly without going to SM35.

Hi,

just process the session after your read the file using the program RSBDCSUB.

In your program after the file is read ; create the BDC session and then process it by submitting the program RSBDCSUB.

Use SUBMIT statement.

That means your BDC program should be schedulated and the job should be submitted by an event (see trx SM64), this event should be triggered if the file is updated.

Now the problem is to understand how the file is updated, because the program updates the file should trigger the event too.

If the file is updated by a user, u can schedule your program periodically, and if the files is updated u run the BDC
