BAPI in LSMW

[prabhu_s2]

Hi All

I'd successfuly created and executed BAPI in LSMW, but i have few doubts in this:

As a very first step i have to create a port called LSMW with partner type US and partner number LSMW. why do we need to do this. also when i saved at this step i encountered with an error file port not maintained. hence i maintianed the file port and logical file name in FILE tcode. I would wnat to know the need of it and how it comes to use during execution.

Hi,

In LSMW,while Using BAPI it's a Inbound Process.It uses the ALE Interface to load the data into SAP.

So you need to maintain ALE parameters viz., File ports ( Usually by name - LSMW ), Partner Type (LS), Partner Number / Partner Profiles ( Usually by name - LSMW ) in the menu path 'settings -> IDoc Inbound Processing' of the LSMW initial screen.

Hi

This is imilar to the Config of WE20 partner profile in which you define a partner and the Port definition

There will be different types of partners like Logical system, USer, vendor, Customer, forwarding agent like that

Here you have used the partner as USER(US)

PORT is the means of communication for the data transfer

there are different types of ports available like tRFC,FILE,CPI-C

for processing the data from Sequential files we use the PORT as FILE

for processing the data froman R/3 System to an R/2 System we use CPI-C

simialrly Transactional RFC and XML ports are there

before using the port we have to define with some description, so you got the error as you have given without maintaining it.
