Batch Processing?

What are the problems in processing batch input sessions and How is batch input process different from processing online?

HI Subhash,

The Batch input session is more efficient way of data transfer into the SAP system. You can schedule the batch sessio in background and thus process huge number of records. This is not possible in case of online processing, where the transaction gets automatically terminated after a stipulated time.

The batch process is a better option always if compared with online processing.

There are no specific problem in batch processing.

Hi

<b>BDC(Batch Data Communication)</b>

Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed.

It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system.

BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.

Difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC:

<b>Session method:</b>

1) synchronous processing.

2) can tranfer large amount of data.

3) processing is slower.

4) error log is created

5) data is not updated until session is processed.

<b>Call transaction (Online Processing):</b>

1) asynchronous processing

2) can transfer small amount of data

3) processing is faster.

4) errors need to be handled explicitly

5) data is updated automatically

Hi,

Batch processing means automating the manual procee so as to processs a large amount of data with the same logic.

For eg if you need to perform creation of similar PO for a several no of times , doing this manually would consume huge time, so as to automate this process one uses batch processing.

Thank you!

Please reward points if helpful.

Can anyone please tell me..as to once the Batch processing is done, how do we find out in SAP, whether the JEs in the GL batches have hit the right cost center and things like that. In which screen can we view those Journal entries?
