BDC Program Writing ....

[Former Member]

Hi guys

I’m working on batch input program. I have record and then pass my internal table. In a net shell its working fine. I’d like to know what else we can put in batch input program from LOG stand point. For example I have put the one sub routine showed error log and other sub routine send an email to recipient.

What else could be the beneficial, or what is the normal practice. I just want that BDC program should give sensible information from user stand point.

Please give your suggestion.

Thanks

Usually when programming a BDC, I will throw an ALV grid after all processing which shows all of the transactions and the status of the transaction( Successfully or Error). If there is an Error, I will give the first error message which was encountered during processing of that transaction.

Hi Suleman,

Additional things you can do to you BDC program is

1) to do a call transaction for all the uploaded records.

2) For error records,by checking sy-subrc value for call transaction, you can do a BDC session method.

3) Process the BDC session so that the user can have a very useful Error log and that too in SAP provided format(SM35).

4) If you don't want steps 2 nad 3, you can use

FORMAT_MESSAGE function module to create meaningful messages out of messhage variables and display as a report.

5) As you have mentioned, you can mail the erroneous records to the User using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 FM.

Hi Suleman,

You can use the collection of messages which are populated during the message run.

This can be achieved like

DATA: BDCDATA TYPE TABLE OF BDCDATA.

DATA: ITAB TYPE TABLE OF BDCMSGCOLL.

CALL TRANSACTION 'SE38' USING BDCDATA MODE 'N'

MESSAGES INTO ITAB.

Now you can use the messages in your itab to put it as a log or send it as a content of a mail during the BDC run.

Cheers

PS: Award points if this helps you.

Hi!

You can also include BDCRECX1 into your report and let all the message handling and error map creation do the standard code.

Hi ,

You can use FM FORMAT_MESSAGE to format your message & display them as report.

After call transaction check for Sy-subrc & move the message into one internal table accordingly checking for the message type('E','W', 'I' etc) & formating with the FM mentioned & then write them as report.

That`s I know .. I mean to say .. when we process session in SM35 and when we get error log ..it shows as the recored number and log , where , how , where it fails .. so we can go to that screen block and re-process our REC...

I want to show these kind of messages in my BDC log ...

Thanks

Hi,

Record no.,you can get from SY-TABIX & save it in the internal table. & the rest of the log you can get from the message internal table.
