Hi,

The Abap developpement is the same.

The CallTransaction enable to update 'online'.

The BI create a folder, and you can execute it when you want later via sm35.

Hope this helps,

Erwan

Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)

In the BDC call transaction method

We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.

Eg: Loop at itab.

call transaction FB01

capture errors

endloop.

In the session method.

We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself.
