HR data transfer

Former Member — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:13:43 GMT

We are migrating data from legacy to SAP. Can Any one educate me how this can be done through LSMW. I have searched internet but havent found any LSMW help on HR side. we are on ECC6.0 and DTT is not available now so we have to define a strategy to load data in SAP.

Can some one also tell me if there is a better method to load data into SAP apart from BDC and HR_INFOTYPE_Operation.

If these are the only methods then which one is the best and less time consuming.

Plz help

Try to do a catt, transaction scat.

First execute transaction SCAT.

At the test case textbox type the test case name

next, press button record transaction:

The system display a small screen and type the transaction code and press button record:

For loading HR DATA I will suggest HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS, if yu dont have DTT.

Somehow, I have seen lots of issues with data uplaod by using LSMW in HR....

Thanks Amit

But how do you capture actions history through FM.

Like inDTT we have initial and current conversions.

How is that done using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS.

Can you or some one send me an example?

Thanks again

When we do intiial and current conversions actually we are initially uploading the data with default values to get them in place and check for erros. After that we do current conversions to change those defaulted values to user required formats.

This can be dony by writing a report and calling it twice with inital and current versions of data for uploading.

Great,

That is excaly what I wanted to hear but

how can we do that with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATIONS.

The actual DTT method uses a standard SAP templates for initial and current load and has BDC programs already written for these templates, Now my questions are

1. can we use the same template

2. how to do this using this FM.

3. Do i have to consider the volume of data while using this FM

If I want to use the same DTT approach, Where can I get those DTT provided programs if I can get them

Can some one provide me an example for the FM with initial or current load if possible

Thanks guys for your time

Hi,

For the initial data load is quicker and more versatil a batch input or a catt.

check this url to know how to create catts:

hi use the hr_infotype_operatio..

why it is useful i will tellu ...because infotypes some times country specific..means different countries had different screens...for the same infotype and for the same pernr..

then there is a problem with the bdc..

so it is better to go for this fm

use this fm with these parameters..

PERNR = NUMBER --->legacy employee number

ACTIO = OPERATION ---> INS

TCLAS = TCLAS -

> A

BEGDA = VALIDITYBEGIN -

>begin date

ENDDA = VALIDITYEND -

> end date

WERKS = WERKS -

>v_werks

PERSG = PERSG -

>v_persg

PERSK = PERSK -

>v_persk

LUW_MODE = LUW_MODE -

DIALOG_MODE = DIALOG_MODE -

NO_EXISTENCE_CHECK = 'X'

NO_ENQUEUE = 'X'
