in lsmw

create proj,subproj,object

step1: maintain object attributes

in this u have to enter the 1st record and create

recording and press DEFAULT ALL button

return and see that the same recording name

gets populated in RECORDING INPUT BOX.

step2 : maintain source structure

F8 create, save and return

step 3: maintain source field

where u have to enter the required fieldnames,type and length for the selected recording.

step4: maintain structure relations F8 save return

step5.: maintain fieldmapping and conversion rules F8, click on a field and then SOURCEFIELD,click on matching sourcefield and repeat this for all fields required ,save ,return F8 THE SAME STEP CAN BE DONE USING menupath EXTRAS-----AUTOFIELDMAPPING. save and return.

step6: skip this

step 7: specify file

till step 7 you do exactly as per stated above

step8....12 : F8, save return

st13: create batch input session

check KEEP BATCH INPUT FOLDER

step 14: run batch input session

Thanks for the info. So if any of my objects is having Batch input recording , then i have to redo the recording after the import? But this is not practical if i have 20 objects with such situation. Is there any other solution too.

Raghu,

you need not to redo the recordings.

if you are copying the objects

10 first copy the lsmw object ,it will copy conversion rules.

secondly go to recording overview of that project and copy the recording also to the new project. As soon as the recordings get copied to new project field mappings will automatically appear since it will be able to find the recording target structure.

please reward and close the thread.

Also if you are exporting it to other client then first inmport the project in text or rtf format during the import it will ask you to selct object from project to be imported along with recordings at that time select object as well as recording from that project.

also while export it will ask you to select object and recordings from file to be exported ,select the relevent objects and thier recordings while exporting.

Thanks for the response. I had 2 issues:-

1) to copy the lsmw form 1 envi to another. -> achieve using create change request.

2) copy a lsmw to a new one. -> in the initial screen, goto->administration-> select the object -> copy. This will copy the transactions as well..

Import/ export is a bad option for this.
