BDC and Performance Issue

Former Member — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:30:15 GMT

When performing a Call Transaction, is it better to use a synchronous or asynchronous update mode for a large number of records? Right now, we have a BDC that is running on synchronous update but is taking forever to update. Sometimes it even causes system problems.

I'm also looking into using a BAPI instead of the BDC. I think using a BAPI is preferable than a BDC.

Comments and suggestions on these 2 issues are highly appreciated.

Not sure about synchronous or asynchronous....But BDC must be used only if there's no available BAPI -;)

For many cases BDC is required to run in synchronous transaction,

so the result will be able to be processed for further action ( for ex: to be displayed ).

If possible, find an existing BAPI to replace the BDC.

This will save time and maintenance effort.

What kind of transaction are you using in the BDC ?
