You are given functional specs for a BDC program and you need to decide whether to write a method call transaction or a session. How u will decide?

Thumb rule.

No of records to be uploaded <10000 , go for call transaction.

Else go for session.

Hi Ankesh,

explain the differences to the functional team and let them decide. Also investigate if there is a BAPI that can fulfill the task.

Greetings,

Gert.

A Bapi also does the same thing as a BDC.

A BAPI is a standarad function module which can be used to upload data .

Dping a BDC is a programming headache.

Using BAPIs is much simpler.

If for instance you need to write a program to create sales orders, you could of course just do a call transaction or BDC for VA01 but you could also use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDATA in stead. The latter will give you better performance.

Hope this clarifies it.
