hi Gautham,

whenever you dont want to see the actual location of error ,you go for background processing also in case of huge amount of datas to transfer you for it.

whereas in foreground ,you can see where error is actually taking place.

BDC Means Batch Data Conversion.

We have few methods in BDC, But we normally use Session or Call Transaction Methods.

BDC is used to update the database tables from master or transactional data through corresponding transaction.

So that we need to record the particular trn first.

1) we have to upload legacy data(flat file) into internal table through 'WS_UPLOAD' or 'GUI_UPLOAD' function modules.

2) we have to define one more internal table with include structure BDCDATA.

3) use Session or call Transaction methods to update the data.

Session method handles the errors bydefault but call transaction method can not.

It has to define one more internal table to handle the errors with structure of BDCMSGCOLL.

Hi,

Use Foreground mode if you have very less number of records..Also in foreground you

can view the transaction and how the values are getting populated...

Use background mode for bulk transfer...

Cheers,

Hakim
