BDC LSMW basic understanding

[Former Member]

hello...

I have gone through this forum on the basics of lsmw and bdc,

could any1 sumup when one would go for BDC and when LSMW?

I Would appreciate if anyone could come up with a real world scenario for having used BDC/ LSMW.

Thanks in advance -

Thank u,

So from my understanding in LSMW: we have a file with some say Purchase order data,

we need to upload via say LSMW in2 r/3.........Will R/3 take care of the mapping?

What would happen if there is a mapping error?

from my understanding LSMW is eazier than BDC...is that correct?

[Former Member]

Yes, basically LSMW is for Functional consultants so that no much programming is required.

If there are data validation error those errors will be displayed.

Creating routines for data upload using data extracts for sequential files on the application server and UPLOAD/WS_UPLOAD for local files on the presentation server

Hi,

*Ws_upload is a FM which will transfer Presentation Server File to Internal Table ie it Uploads a file from the presentation server into an internal table.

upload is a FM which will transfer Presentation Server File to Internal Table with Len

Data which is available in a file on the presentation server is transferred in an internal table. ASCII and binary files can be transferred.

But both these FM's are obsolete - do not use . Use GUI_UPLOAD instead
