Creating Multiple Batch input session in LSMW

Former Member — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:00:20 GMT

Hi All,

Let me first brief my requirement -

For Material Master Loading we have some LSMW. Now in input file we have huge record count.

As a result it is taking some time.

We need to split the file into some chunk of 50K let us assume and create N numbers of sessions of 50K.

One approach -

1. We can split file into multiple 50K files.

2. We can read whole file into LSMW and Split into 50K chunk and create session for each.

- Can any one please let me know how I can achive the split of File into 50 K and create multiple batch input sessions in LSMW?

Thanks in advance

- Dipankar

Hi Dipankar,

I suspect that whatever solution you'll use it will be a kind of manual approach. I.e. due to the several steps executed in LSMW, i.e. usually for reading, converting and then processing data, I don't see that you can easily automate the splitting using just LSMW (unless you have some wrapper program that executes those different steps).

However, I don't quite understand why you don't want to use the default parameter for transaction count that is present in the read program or conversion program. So if that's not sufficient maybe you should explain in more detail what you're exactly doing in your LSMW.

Also, if you're concerned about performance, is there a reason why you're not using the direct input method as offered by RMDATIND?
