Hi David,

Group name:

It hold the session name which is need to be processed

what ever name you provide over there

will be seen at sm35 after executing the BDC

that is what meant as batch name.

KEEP:

Retain session after successful processing. Set this option to the value X to have a

session kept after it has been successfully processed. A session that is kept remains

in the input/output queue until an administrator deletes it.

Sessions that contain errors in transactions are kept even if KEEP is not set.

Default: If not set, then sessions that are successfully processed are deleted.

Only the batch input log is kept.

USER:

This is for Authority check.

You can pass sy-uname here.

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Nitin.

Hi,

These 3 parameters are not mandatory to be passed.

Keep is used to specify whether the session is to be kept or not after the bdc program is processed.

User is used to maintain the user name, under whose id the bdc was run.

user will indentify the user executing the job

hi,

Group - the name of the session

user - the user who is running the session

keep - if it is 'X' then the session will be restored else not.

Hi All,

Will it be okay if I don't pass any of these 3 to the FM while execution?

(The BDC is being used to create Production Orders).

Thanks.

Dear David,

when you processed BDc program & want it again then give keep parameter.

User is user name, who is using it.

Group is session name.

Hi David,

Kindly refer to the documentation of the function module BDC_OPEN_GROUP, hope it will answer your query.

If KEEP = 'X' Parameter is passed. The session will remain in SM35 even after successful execution

otherwise it will be deleted.

With luck,

Not possible without these parameters of BDC_OPEN_GROUP FM.

USER: For showing who is created the session & executing the session.

GROUP: Means Session or Group name.

KEEP: You should keep 'X' value in hard code of keep parameter for viewing same session after process also.

hope helpful.
