Hi James,

Here it is answers for your questions:

1) What do you do when the system crashes in the middle of a BDC batch

session?

We can check how many records are updated into DB and then restart the uploading.

2) What do you do with errors in BDC batch sessions? and how to proceed further..

Errors are populated into session in the errors block. Then check what are alll the records are getting as error and why these records are getting error. Modify that record and process again.

Hope this helps you. Reply for queries.

Regards,

Kumar.

when errors:

reprocess session in error mode where ever the error is there it will stop there you correct the data say enter it will update ok bye.........

HI,

There are two ways to tackle this issue.

<b>Method..1</b>

Thru se16 check the table(s) being updated, preferably the last table as per your code. If you have say 1600 records in the flat file check for the upload of the 1600 th record.. If not ok, check for the upload of the 800 th record(N-N/2), if OK go & check

N+(N/2) th record if not ok goto N-(N/2) th record where N is the curent record number in the flat file . In about 4 or five checks you will converge on the last uploaded record.

Now from the flat file, remove the lines till the upload is ok & then re-run BDC.

Even here a record may be uploaded partially which has to be manually edited thru se16.

<b>Method..2</b>

Have a zee table for uploads. Just after uploading a record into the sap table, fill this zeetable with few fields of each the records. In an abort situation this table will tell the story of the update status. Take care to empty this table occasionally.
