Hi,

interface can be outbound i.e writing data to

application server using open dataset,transfer

or downloading data (gui_download)

inbound -> reading data from application server using

open dataset,read dataset,uploading data

using gui_upload.

conversion:BAtch data communication method

where legavy data is uploaded in SAp.

Hi naren,

Conversion is used only once for example (BDC) to upload data single time.where as interface we can use multiple times.

interfaces are BAPI,IDOC'S.

According to requirement we have to choose to upload data by interface or conversion.

Hi Naren,

Conversions - One time upload of data

Interfaces - Communication between two systems to transfer the data. It can be in a scheduled way also. Example SAP to external system and External system to SAP.
