Validations in BDC?

Former Member — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 21:37:38 GMT

Hi folks !!

I wanted to know if validations are possible in BDC. Also, if I want a custom routine, are there any specifications I need to know? I am trying to create a new routine with my custom logic? Is it possible? Can the routine pick up logic from an existing BDC code?

P.S. I am a functional guy and I need your suggestions.

Thanks

Drew

hi andrew,

you should validate the data before passing it to the SAP System thru BDC.Normally we wont write any routine for calling the BDC Program instead we will execute it directly or schedule as the background job depending on the data load.I would advice you to schedule a background job rather than calling from a routine...

Hi,

Usually when you do a BDC, you have the data in a flat file. So, you can upload the data into a internal table and validate the data first, by writing routines and then finally by doing a CALL TRANSACTION / BDC SESSION.

I am not sure what is context of routine you are talking about.

OK well lets forget about routines for a moment.

I have a BDC. In the code there is a requirement of sending output to a third party bolton. Now this requirement is only present in this code and I can't find it anywhere else. I was wondering if I can use this requirement to trigger another output type in a standard SAP transaction (is it possible) or should I take this requirement and create a new routine?

I know its confusing but I just need your suggestions.

Thanks

itz possible to trigger the output type from your BDC Code with additional programming effort.

Thank You Hakim

I was wondering if writing a new routine was feasible which I can use in the output procedure?
